Dreams Dominicus La Romana

Secrets LaRomana is a great place! We had a fun week there. We were in the preferred level, and we had the most amazing concierge, Antonio! He was at our beck and call making sure our stay was amazing. We've never had such personalized service at a Secrets resort or otherwise. The place was very clean, and staff was mostly very friendly. The pools and oceanfront are gorgeous. The food was good. Some restaurants were better than others (as they are at most resorts). Nightlife was little lacking. We would have liked more evening activities and entertainment. Overall we had a fabulous week there.

This is a great hotel with a lot of potential. We enjoyed our holiday, but came across numerous issues that sometime frustrated us. Nothing serious, just niggling experiences that distracted that wow factor. Positives start with the preferred pool area with great service. The property gardens are immaculate and the room cleanliness and services outstanding. The bar staff throughout the property were great. The beach was great. The Spa was outstanding. Negatives. Services in the restaurants was very variable. At times, we experienced a barrier to get our table served with water and a drink (incl. coffee/tea). Also, there seems a lot of variation in food quality. We wonder if this depended on the chefs on duty each shift. Even in the main buffet area, there was a inconsistency in providing food quality. This is one area we believed would catapult our experience to a 5 star review. Despite my positive comments about the bars, serving the cheaper spirit alternative when better options were requested at the time of odering seems to undermine the 5 star hotel rating. This is a little unprofessional to say the least. There are always challenges to any property in providing that 5 star service to everyone. I feel this property could refine its offering without significant cost outlay, with focus on staff training and service. Not sure we will return, but just to reiterate the earlier comment, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

The resort is absolutely beautiful! From the architecture to the landscaping and designes of the many many pools. The beach is soft sand with lots of tropical trees and tiki huts for shade over your chair loungers. The blue carribbean water is so blue and has earned a Blue Flag award designation for cleanliness and environmental criteria. The staff is very plentiful and helpful. Always someone around to help. A particular thank you to Scarlet who was wonderful during several of our meals, and especially to Viviana on the beach who found us 2 beach loungers under a beautiful tree where we were gifted with a spectacular view of the beach, tropical birds, and sailing boats further out in the water. Perfect day. Thanks so much.

Yuliana and Maria Reyes hosted a phenomenal hat painting experience on the resort during our stay! The session was relaxing and fun, adding to the ambiance of the resort overall! Our hand-painted sun hats will definitely make their debuts for the rest of our trip and to the airport! We love DR!
