My wife and I stayed here 4 years ago and found it an absolutely fantastic place. Staff couldnt do enough for us, especially when our room was flooded out, the attention and service was immediate. Oh how the mighty fall!! I was so disappointed to find that standards have plummetted in such a short time. Having booked several months ago... more

We picked this hotel as we had stayed in an Iberostar hotel in Riveria Maya in Mexico. I would say this hotel is a little tatty round the edges but this did not spoil our stay. The rooms were lovely- the air com was not very efficient tho. The food was superb and the waitor service was excellent in all... more

Flew from Gatwick with Thomas Cook airlines, flight was Ok and on time. On arrival at Punta Cana boarded a coach for the transfer (nearly 2 hours) just what you need after a 9 hour flight! On arrval at the hotel we were given a welcome drink of punch, much needed after the coach trip. (it is a shame UK... more

Well what can we say about this hotel!! The long trip from Punta Cana, 1 1/2 hours is worthwhile when you arrive and see the stunning lobby area and grounds. It then gets even better......... We stayed from 28th July - 11th August. This was our second vist to an Iberostar having stayed at the Varadero in 2007. I have... more

My rating may seem harsh as this is still a very good hotel but has so much potential. Having been to Paraiso Maya in Mexico last year, I can benchmark it as follows: Strengths - Great design and layout very near to an excellent beach, intimate and compact and yet never overcrowded. Less humid with more breeze during day. Very... more

The weather lovely, the location stunning,the hotel not 5*. My husband, daughter and i spent two weeks at this hotel,our room was not made up for 4 out of 14 nights we found ourselfs looking for a maid for clean towels. There is no room service so if you are feeling unwell your food will not be brought to you.... more

Returned from IHD on 15/08/08 and still in relax mode! Flight was Thompsonfly Premium Class which is well worth upgrading to - transit through Gatwick very smooth - leg room and silver service very welcome. Transport from Punta Cana Airport must be a white knuckle ride for anyone -we were fortunate in having a limo with drinks provided - mini-bus... more

Me and my friend travelled to the hacienda Dominicus in July 2008. We had a lovely time here. The beach is out of this world, one of the best on the island i would have to say after flying over the north. The hotel i would definatley rate a 5 star! The best resturant that we went to throughout the... more

we travelled to the dominican with first choice holidays. The flight was ok and went quite quickly. It did take 1 1/2 hours to get to the resort which was a bit of pain but worth it. Somebody did tell us that from next year first choice may be flying into puta cana airport which is a lot nearer so... more
