Dreams Dominicus La Romana

Fantastic server on the beach called Diorka. Very attentive and always smiling.

Lovely honeymoon here at Secrets. The lovely Wendi looked after us most days by the pool, so attentive, remembering our order and ensuring the drinks kept flowing. she’s an absolute angel and asset to the team

Poolside staff were amazing. Resort is even more beautiful and luxurious than pictures show. Restaurants were mostly great. Lots of sea/pool activities which were all awesome. Had the absolute best time.

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.
