Decent Overall

This will be a long review so if you want a real assessment, please take the time to read. To start, their website states they offer an airport transport to hotel and to call or email 3 days prior. I did just that and was told to call back the next day. I called 2 days prior and was told they don’t offer that service even though they sent me an email reminding me to call for 3 days prior via Hotels.com. I reached out to Hotels.com for help and they couldn’t get ahold of anyone at the property. Luckily, I was meeting a friend there and he arranged a taxi for me. At check-in, I was told that I had to pay $50 more a night because my friend didn’t travel with me even though I paid for 2 people when I booked on Hotels.com. So I had to pay an additional $350 for my friend to stay with me. The WiFi sucks! We couldn’t get it to work and when we attempted to call the front desk for help, the telephone in the room didn’t work. We had to walk to the front desk and then explained how to get the WiFi to connect, but it still sucked. The food was not good. Breakfast sucked, lunch was decent and dinner was subpar. They have 3 other restaurants besides the buffet l, but you have to make reservations for them in the morning the day of. Luckily, we spent quite a bit of time outside of the resort so we ate out some days in the city. Activities are awesome and plenty each day for kids and adults. Drinks at the bar were good. Staff were a hit or miss but majority of them were nice and friendly.

Good but not a favorite

The service and pool were outstanding. We also enjoy the beach. The rooms are a bit outdated (especially the bathrooms need work). While the food was B+, there were many opening hour and take away restrictions at both the buffet and restaurants. Very inconvenient with young children. If you’re used to all-inclusive rules and limitations you might not be bothered by this. Also, people from nearby cruise ships can pay to come there for the day. That makes for a very chaotic environment.

I've been going to all-inclusive resorts for 20 years and this is by far the most disappointing one. Cons: Far, uncomfortable drive from the STI aiport Beata building was outdated, mildewy, and far away from anything fun & the beach Had to make dinner reservations for the 3 (subpar) restaurants DAYS in advance Pool towels could take 1 hour to be ready sometimes Tennis courts says open daily 8 am - 7 pm but we only saw it open ONCE in 5 days Drinks took FOREVER to come at the buffet, we would be done eating by the time they arrived Pools were not clean Limited shows (pretty much just watched guests sing karaoke every night) Drinks were not strong and not very tasty, just ended up not getting a buzz and hurting our stomachs Food was among the worst I've ever had and you had no option other than the buffet for breakfast, lunch & dinner because of the reservation issue Billiards table & ping pong closed early everyday even though that is all there was left to do Bars were only open 10 am - 12 am Housekeeping would take hours to get to your room and spend 1 hour inside that you could not enter during No clubs or any type of nightlife No kids foods (chicken tenders / mac n cheese, anything for picky eaters) Pros: Show/activity staff was very friendly and fun Convenient swim up bar Gym on site (limited hours) Beachfront property with easy access A/C in room was crispy cold Bartenders would fill your insulated tumbler or any cup you brought

In my opinion, one of the best hotels in the Puerto Plata area. It is well maintained and cared for, kept clean, beautiful and well designed, lots of comfortable areas to hang out, the rooms have good sound proofing, love the balconies, rooms have enough space for clothes, hangers included. Lots of hot water for showers, rooms have a small fridge and a safe. Nice newer tv's with a variety of channels, a few English. The main pools area is spacious and beautiful, and there is a quieter pool in the adjacent building. The inclusive menu is varied with a good variety of meat, fish, veg, local fruits, a pasta and pizza station, and lots of tasty desserts. The beach area is nice, with a few snorkel spots with some beautiful fish. The property is right next to a professionally designed golf course, a plaza with some nice stores, and an interesting bar where one can watch hockey games in the evening. I love the staff at GV. They are all very, friendly and helpful. Muchas gracias!
