Dreams Dominicus La Romana

My stay at Secrets La Romana Resort & Spa was truly exceptional. From the warm welcome to the cleanliness and attention to detail, everything made us feel well cared for. Special thanks to William and Dareling from the entertainment team for their energy and enthusiasm, and to Hector and Joldan from restaurant management for their professionalism and dedication. The staff at the Mediterranean restaurant and the cafés were attentive, friendly, and always welcoming. A concern during one dinner was handled promptly and thoughtfully, and the team went above and beyond to improve our experience. Overall, the staff across the resort was fantastic, always attentive and ready to assist. What began as a friends’ trip turned into an unforgettable experience. I am grateful to the team and look forward to returning.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Secrets La Romana – Adults Only Section Exceptional Stay – A Real Caribbean Gem! This was our third visit to the Dominican Republic, but our first time on the Caribbean Sea side — and what a difference! After a long trip and a rather stressful airport experience, we arrived a bit late in the evening, but the hotel staff immediately made us forget all the hassle. We booked 12 nights with the Preferred option, and I highly recommend it — the dedicated pool, bar and additional services truly elevate the entire stay. 🌊 Beach & Resort Grounds The resort is located on the Caribbean coast, and we were honestly surprised by how clean and calm the water is compared to the Punta Cana side. We spent hours in the sea — seeing fish, turtles, and even a manatee! The resort grounds are incredibly green and beautifully maintained. There’s a tennis court, volleyball court, 9 à la carte restaurants (all included without extra charge or reservations, except Sakura), a water park, and even a small “secret forest” with a lake and fish. 🏨 Room Upgrade At check-in, we were offered a paid room upgrade. We viewed the new room, loved it immediately and gladly moved. The staff handled everything quickly and smoothly. ⭐ Outstanding Staff – Yoel & Julio Made Our Trip Unforgettable From day one, we were lucky to be taken care of by Yoel Almonte — absolutely exceptional service, attention to detail and genuine kindness. Special thanks also to Julio Paguero, the manager of Coastal Grill. These two made our stay feel like a fairy tale. Their professionalism, passion and precision make them true diamonds for any hotel that aims to deliver a best-in-class guest experience. 🍽️ Restaurants – Our Top Picks Coastal Grill – our most visited; excellent food, wonderful staff and a beautiful view. Chinola – great for its seaside atmosphere and evening entertainment. Thank you, Héctor! Sakura – both the Sushi and Teppanyaki options are worth trying. We also had the pleasure of meeting Héctor, who oversees all restaurants – thank you for your time and professionalism. One in house breakfast was included and even for people who aren’t big breakfast fans, it was a lovely experience. Thank you William & Patricio for the wonderful mornings. 🎉 Entertainment & Activities The animation team absolutely owns the show, under the guidance of Esteban obviously a leader, that the staff follow and have as an example, I guess because of the guidance he took from Maria Fernanda. Btw, Esteban is an incredible dancer as well. Special thanks to Yuliana, Maria & Super Félix for the fun, the games, and the Zumba sessions. The resort even brings in a professional Zumba instructor every week! There are also various master classes: painting, bracelet making, and more. Of course, every real party needs two more things: Disco – located inside the Sports Bar, with a DJ that keeps the energy high. We visited every night! Fantastic bartender Francisco – truly completes the experience. Oh, and yes — there is a casino, and the staff there is great as well. 🧹 Housekeeping A special thank you to Argentina Reyez, who kept our room spotless every single day. We truly appreciated it. ⭐ Final Verdict An unforgettable stay, made extraordinary by the staff, the location and the atmosphere. We will definitely return!

Despite the rain and flooding incident we had the most amazing time here, food was incredible so much choice and staff can’t help enough. Top hotel to stay at

Diorka Mejia is an amazing and kind waitress and she took really good care of us. She smiled and has amazing dimples. She took care of our favorite drink Maracuja mojito 😘

This is a great resort with wonderful staff but is sadly let down by the restaurants. First the good points: The resort is well laid out, clean and the staff really helpful and friendly. We upgraded to the Preference Club which was well worth it. My only issue with the Preference lounge was the seating was not practical and at times no seats were available. The staff in the lounge were excellent, a special mention for the guys behind the bar. Our room was in block 1 and was clean and spacious with ample storage for our 2 week stay, There is a coffee machine but NO facilities for making tea - we took a kettle and got fresh milk from the coffee bar each day - there is a fridge. As a 73 year old big kid I had great fun in the water park, the lazy river and slides were brilliant, it is well laid out with plenty of space and loungers 10/10. The swimming pools in the resort are clean and the water warm, you need to get up early if you want a particular lounger but it is the same most everywhere you go. We spent most of the time in the adults preference pool and the staff were superb with full waiter service, towels and even sun tan cream 10/10 again. The resort is let down by the food offer....... The first night we went in the buffet, not a good experience as most of the food is behind screens and you have to wait in a queue for each item, by the time you have found what you want it is cold. The choices were poor compared to other hotels we have stayed in in the Dom Rep. The table we sat at was so poorly lit I had to use the torch on my phone to see. We orderd wine but by the time it arrived we were on dessert. The hard chairs are very uncomfortable - we did not go back there. The other restaurants are a la carte and you dont need to book but be prepared to wait and wait and wait..... in the coastal restaurant it took one and a half hours from ordering to get our food. We sat down just after 7 15pm and it was nearly 9 before we got our mains. The hard chairs are the most uncomfortable which makes the wait even worse. We ate in every restaurant and the wait varied from night to night. The food was mostly good when it arrived but the same dish varies each time we had it. Our favourite was Mare for breakfast and supper. The waiting staff were great but let down by the systems and uncomfortable chairs.
