Dreams Dominicus La Romana

We are currently staying 15 nights at Secrets La Romana (Adults Only). If you're booking specifically for a quiet, adults-only atmosphere, please be aware: the "adults only" concept applies to the hotel grounds only, not the beach. Dominican beaches are public by law, so this isn't the resort's fault, but it's also not clearly communicated when booking. In practice, it means local families regularly set up towels and umbrellas directly in front of (and among) the resort's beach loungers, with children playing and running around. Security staff confirmed they have no authority to manage this, since the beach is public. More surprising: this also affects the paid VIP beach club area (around $75/day), where we saw locals sitting right at the entrance and in front of it, including at least one tent set up on what's meant to be the exclusive section. Because of the lack of any enforcement, most guests ended up moving away from the crowded main lounger area toward the VIP zone instead — without paying for it, simply because there was nowhere else quiet to sit. To be clear: this isn't about blaming local residents for using a public beach. It's about the resort marketing itself as an adult, tranquil escape without disclosing that the beach experience won't match that expectation, especially compared to properties with genuinely private or better-controlled beach access. If a quiet, uninterrupted beach is a priority for your trip, factor this in before booking — it may be worth comparing with resorts that have private beach concessions.

Wendi Vargas was our pool waitress and she was fantastic. She was very attentive and incredibly friendly. We made sure we sat in her section every day.

I would like to express how much joy I experienced during my stay at Secrets La Romana Resort & Spa. Everyone was extremely helpful, kind, and welcoming, and they truly made our stay special. Dining at Sakura Our experience at Sakura exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, Patricia made us feel genuinely welcome with her friendly and attentive service. The restaurant was spotless, the atmosphere was elegant yet relaxing, and every dish was beautifully presented. My favorite person, Santa! She made us feel completely at home. She is someone who makes anything possible. I cannot express enough how much I adore her and appreciate her exceptional service. The food was incredibly fresh, the hot dishes were perfectly prepared, and every bite was packed with authentic flavor. It is clear that Sakura takes great pride in both the quality of its food and the overall dining experience. Thank you for offering wonderful vegan options as well. Héctor and Robert were our servers, and they treated us like family. Héctor, who has the same last name as I do, is truly a brother from another mother! Robert is an absolute joy. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sakura, especially because of these incredible individuals who make dining there such a wonderful experience.
