Dreams Dominicus La Romana

For starters, I would say this resort has been an absolute dream. Some of the best views we have ever come across, very clean and all the staff are very friendly. Especially Belkis Mejia who serves everyone around the infinity pool and always made sure we were never left without a drink. Jose at the infinity pool bar was also great. The resort is essentially 1 hotel split in half. The adults side and the family side. The main chunk of the entertainment is on the family side with an amphitheater that has many performances including a Michael Jackson tribute night (much better than expected). We had a garden view room and it was great. Very clean and spectacular views of a very well kept garden. I would say what this hotel lacks is a decent bar in the evening. It would be nice to have an outside bar perhaps near the beach rather than being stuck in the lobby. There is a sports bar which is very lively with screens everywhere as well as pool/billiards tables. This was on the family side. We were very satisfied with the restaurants. The adults side (secrets) restaurants were a lot less chaotic than the restaurants situated on the dreams side. I say this because sometimes on the dreams side we were sometimes left without no cutlery for our mains after using them for starters. I’d say this happened 2 or 3 times out of our 12 days. We were also left without a drink at times. But as a whole we have no complaints about the food. The buffet breakfast and lunches were some of the better ones we’ve had. As a whole we loved this hotel and would highly recommend.

The property is located on the south east coast of the island. The hotel itself well maintained with a friendly staff and clean spacious rooms. The price is commensurate with other all inclusive hotels. Of particular note is Noor Restaurant and the wonderful service we received from Marbelis (pic below). She went above and beyond, catering to every request. You can tell immediately that the managerial leadership of Julio Peguero is well regarded by both the staff and customers alike. It is hands down the best restaurant at Secrets La Romana.

We stayed at Dreams but used Secrets as well as being playa collection members. We used the preferred pool regularly and were well looked after by Raul,Olga and Robinson 🤗 We stayed in room 4231 it was great for us and Isobel our maid did a great job cleaning our room. Maibely looked after our stay and was available via WhatsApp everyday! We went to all the restaurants in both hotels. My wife preferred the coastal grill for breakfast. Noor restaurant did a lovely rib eye. Most breakfasts were at Caoba adults only buffet which had great selection. We had fun at the sports bar where a lot of Americans frequented and visited the casino once $$. Overall the staff were really friendly and welcoming maybe staff could have more training in serving tables, some were slow and some were motivated by tips?! Finally a thank you to Emmanuel for looking after us when my daughter was taken ill🙏 We would certainly recommend dreams/secrets, if you’re family are over 18 then secrets offers a lot more…

The rooms ar good! The service is good! The food in the restaurants is very good, we love the teppanyaki restaurant the most. (Love the look a like Denzel Washington) Bar service in the pool is very good, we love Robinson and Olga a lot. They are the best! One thing we dont like was the coastal grill restaurant the service was very bad. But hotel 5 stars!

My wife and I have been to more than 15 all-inclusive resorts across Jamaica, Mexico, Aruba, and the Dominican Republic, and this one is by far our favorite. We stayed in a Preferred Garden View Room, and the accommodations were very nice. The only issue we experienced was that the snacks and minibar were not fully restocked each day. While it was a little disappointing, it probably helped me avoid eating more snacks than I needed. The beach entry on the Preferred side was small, but the sand was soft and never overly hot. Once you got to the water—oh my goodness! When the waves were calm, the water was so clear you could look down and see your feet. We rented a cabana on two different days, and at $150 per day, it was absolutely worth it. As you can see in my pictures, they are beautiful, comfortable, and offer breathtaking views of the water. The Preferred pool was another highlight. It had a relaxing atmosphere with light music, and best of all, no kids running around. The standout in that area was Olga, who kept the drinks flowing while also providing great conversation. Make sure to stop by and see her—you will be missing a great part of the experience if you do not. I read many reviews criticizing the food for not being five-star or high-end, but honestly, the food was not bad at all. If you are expecting fine dining, an all-inclusive resort may not be the right fit, as food is prepared in large quantities and served quickly so guests can get back to enjoying their vacation. My wife participated in several activities, including painting bags and hats and making bracelets. There were many other activities available, but some filled up quickly, so I recommend visiting the activity hut as soon as you arrive and signing up for a few days' worth of activities. Just outside the infinity pool—which looks amazing but can get a little rowdy—you will find the towel hut. There I met Alexis Guerrero, who is deaf. Despite the communication barrier, Alexis went out of the way to answer my questions and explain where to go for different things around the resort. After that first interaction, Alexis stopped by each day to check in and make sure I did not need anything. We used Google Chat to communicate, and I can honestly say I will make a point to stop and chat again when we return. Alexis made a lasting impression, and I will never forget the kindness shown during our stay. Finally, I have to mention our concierge, Big Lou. Without a doubt, Big Lou was the best, and when we return, we will absolutely request to work with him again. Each day, Big Lou sent us information about activities at both resorts, offered to provide a cooler stocked with drinks and fruit, helped us reserve our cabanas (30 and 31 were great locations), and made sure we never needed anything throughout our stay. If you have the opportunity to work with Big Lou, take it—you will not regret it. A sincere thank you to Alexis, Olga, and Big Lou for making this trip so memorable. We cannot wait to return.
