Dreams Dominicus La Romana

Raul and Olga at the swim up bar were great. Great vibes and great people. And the best drinks.

We had an amazing time at Secrets! Wonderful food and staff. Especially the coffee bar was wonderful. But even better was the staff at the Blue Bar. Raul, Ilveria and Olga made our days with amazing service and an incredibly atmosphere! It was a joy to see them each time and they made wonderful cocktails! Thanks again! PS: Shoutout to Wilfrido, who was a joyful addition to our days!

Hotel lovely. We went as prefered guests which had extra perks and your own lounge with snacks and premium drinks. The beach area was lovely and had its own area for prefered guests. The drinks were frequently broughr by Diorka who always had a smile on her face. L Very quiet location. There were water sports and trips to Catalina island off the beach. The restaurants vary, went to Sakara and Noor several times. The Tapenyaki at Sakura was good you have to book. Some of the restaurants were ok and the food varied. I would say the seasoning of the food wasn't always to my liking and could have done with more salt and pepper. The beach grill was good and we had our daily cheeseburger which was cooked to order. Rooms were cleaned well and our daily cleaner Claudia was really good and very attentive to detail. Only restaurant in Dreams which we didn't enjoy was the Peruvian which had too many covers and couldn't cope wiht the capacity. That was the only bad experince although we didn't go to all the restaurants in the resort which included Dreams. The swim area was safe and we saw lots of fish and even a couple of turtles close to the shore. All in all a good experience. We enjoyed our stay.

Awesome experience! Great food and exceptional service!

We have been to Secrets Maroma Beach and Secrets Akumal, and the service at La Romana was extremely poor in comparison. There is virtually no chair service at pools or the beach (even when renting a cabana) so you always have to visit a bar for your drinks. There is also no food to order from the beach/pool, so your only lunch options are wait 20 minutes for a burger at the beach shack, or leave your chairs to go to a sit-down restaurant or the buffet. Not all pool chairs have shade/umbrellas. The staff are not unkind, but also not overly friendly. They seem very disinterested and move slowly. Our food was forgotten about at two separate restaurants - one night we couldn't even flag down a server after waiting for 30 minutes (my food was delivered but not my husband's), so we left and ordered room service for dinner. If you do not speak Spanish, the language barrier is significant - most food service staff do not speak much English. The beach is lovely (very little seaweed, although the water is very cloudy/silty), but it is small and rocky with chairs everywhere - there is not much if any space between the loungers. Resort and grounds are well kept, but rooms are very small. Balconies have no privacy. Overall, we knew this wasn't going to be the best Secrets property but we were very disappointed with the quality of the service. We will not be returning and we would not recommend it.
