Dreams Dominicus La Romana

We have recently returned from a 2 week stay at the Secrets La Romana resort, staying in a Deluxe garden view room. On arrival we paid for an upgrade to the Preferred Club benefits but kept our room as per the original booking. In our opinion, the benefits of this upgrade were worth the money with full access to the Preferred Club beaches, pools, free room service, daytime restaurants and lounges on both the Secrets and Dreams resorts. The quality and selection of drinks was much improved. Our room was spacious, appeared to be recently renovated, well equipped and had a large comfortable bed. The housekeeping service was excellent. Our location of choice in the daytime was the Dreams beach area, this is more spacious than the Secrets beach and seemed to have the daily benefit of a sea breeze. The beach is very clean and the water is calm for swimming, snorkeling is not the best as the water visibility was easily reduced when the sea was not calm, however it is still worth trying. The selection of A la carte restaurants at both hotels is excellent and it is a bonus not having to book a table in advance, we waited no more than 5 mins on two occasions for a table. Noor was our favorite restaurant out of the selection. The evening buffet was located in the Dreams resort, we used this twice and there was a good selection of quality food. The buildings and grounds of both resorts are immaculately maintained and very well presented, possibly the best that we have experienced. The Sports Bar and Casino are worth a visit, shame they did not serve food in the Sports Bar during the daytime though. Entertainment at the Secrets resort is low key but you have the option of Dreams in the evening so there is plenty of choice. Our only negative experience was the amount of extras that were available that required excessive additional payment - Preferred Club, butler service (for people that are unable to move for lunch!), cabanas, outside dining at selected A la carte restaurants if you bought an overpriced bottle of wine, Beach dining event and so on. This is becoming more frequent at All-inclusive resorts but we felt that not having the option for outside dining unless you pay for bottle of wine was annoying. The staff are a credit to the resorts, they are all friendly, helpful and professional. Special mentions are Anabel, Raul, Luis and Ilveria at the Blue Bar and Abraham and Belgica at the Dreams Preferred Club beach. We will definitely plan to return in the future.

Silvina and Santa are the best hosts of the whole hotel , and will return to ausangate again without hesitation.

We have had a lovely couple of weeks at this beautiful resort. The hotel, together with its sister Dreams, are spotlessly clean. There's a wide variety of restaurants that serve excellent food. The staff are fabulous and always smiling and willing to make your stay really enjoyable. A few mentions specifically for Wendi & Diorka, the hard working waitresses on the beach. The happy chappy Alexis who looked after the towels, always smiling. Also to Felix at the Coastal Grill & Carlos at the Chinola. Too many to mention really. Would definitely return some time in the future for another happy relaxing break. Rob, Di & Hannah UK

Diroka was our server on the preferred beach for the last few days. She has done great with getting our drinks in a timely manner, and all of the drinks have been delicious. I look forward to seeing her for the rest of our trip here at Secrets!

While extra travel from PUJ airport may not be appealing to some, Secret’s La Romana is a great spot to relax and enjoy the beach. Sunshine was abundant and water was warm and clear, with minimal waves even on the couple of the windier days out of our 12-day stay. Rooms were clean and comfortable, even though we didn’t spend much time there. Staff was polite and welcoming. Live music, DJs and many other activities to keep you entertained. We also chose to enjoy Spa on the several occasions and were happy with treatments given our high standards for such services. Preferred club lounge bartenders were fantastic at making us feel like VIPs and Diorka Meija was great keeping is hydrated on the beach!
