The resort is huge. There are three different parts to it. Each part has its own large swimming pool, and Grand Paradise has two big pools. Two of the pools have swim-up bars.

Myself and my boyfriend stayed at the Grand Paradise Bavaro from 30th June - 7th July and we absolutely loved it! We booked as a package holiday through Thomas Cook in England, and having never been to the Caribbean before we didn't really know what to expect but we weren't disappointed. The flight was fine, about 8.5hrs, but the looped... more

I don't understand how can people complain about this hotel. My best friend and I just returned..on June 24th. And it was a week of paradise!!!! The employees are friendly, funny, and out going. They want visitors to participate in events, especially by the pool. The entertainment at night - was GREAT! Other people I chatted with have stayed in... more

Overall the vacation was very nice. Our room was very basic although we did get a flat screen tv (not that we watched it much). The grounds and beach at the resort were very well taken care of and the pools were also very clean. The whole resort overall was actually very clean and we had no problems with bugs... more

I stayed at this resort for 3days/2nights following a business trip with a coworker in Santo Domingo. After booking I started to have second thoughts when I came accross some of these negative reviews. I thought I had made a terrible mistake. Upon arrival I could not be more pleasantly surprised. The place is astonishingly beautiful. Truly paradise! I did... more
