Dreams Dominicus La Romana

Resort buildings and grounds are lovely, bars were a bit slow with service but were otherwise nice. At one point housekeeping left our room door totally open, which was troubling, and there were other lapses in service that were frustrating. However, the spa and food were high quality, and the beach and pool felt spacious and well-maintained. Nothing felt crowded or gross, it was a classy and tranquil vibe all around. Biggest gripe is that the buffet is the only real food option for both breakfast and lunch. It's fine, but for a property with so many restaurants, it's odd that only the lowest tier is available most of the day. They are reserved for a higher tier of guest somehow, but it was never explained to me if that was tied to your room, or if it was an additional charge or something. I was just told that we weren't that kind of guest and could only eat at the buffet other than dinner.

The entertainment team was amazing! So attentive and fun to be around, they encouraged us to join in some traditional dances and other activities! Yuliana, Maria Reyes, Freddy, Rene the Rock, Miguel Angel, Pablo Picasso and Abraham especially were especially very welcoming!

My husband and I spend five days here for our birthdays in the beginning of January 26'. Upon arrival I noticed the grounds were immaculate, the staff that welcomed us were very friendly and warm. the hotel looked as luxurious as the photos, and from the second we were greeted everyone was super attentive to our needs and comfort. Luz from preferred checked us in, she was very helpful considering we wanted to check in but left to explore the area, Edwin who helped with our luggage and car rental parking went above and beyond. He was also helpful to show us around later in the evening when we needed a ride to the other area of the hotel that the night time bar was located as well as the entertainment. We saw him a few times and each time he made sure we were escorted in comfort. The DJ Delkin was awesome he took almost every request. The servers at the night time bar/ disco were all fun and attentive as well. The manager on duty Carlos King made sure we were happy at all times. The bartender in the lobby was awesome sorry I don't remember his name! The beach was beautiful, no seaweed, very beautiful water and super clean. The food was well prepared, the room was tended to beautifully. We had a great massage and a date night dinner that was probably my favorite part! The restaurants were all fabulous and did not disappoint. I want to go back I miss it at I am writing this review!!!!

Love the hotel but the rooms in Adult preferred on the 2nd block bottom floor remained damp as they have been in previous years. Ensure you ask for a dehumidifier in the room. We love this resort because the staff are wonderful especially at the Preferred pool bar Blue - Olga, Jose, Raul, Nikauri & Madeline. The Lobby bar in Adult only 18/68 Kelvin, Alejandrina and Elian made sure they met all our needs as they all did last year too. Food needs to be warmer, by the time you are served the food on your plate was cold in the adult preferred buffet, they need to get this right - use a temperature prodder ! The above won't prevent us going gain as we have already booked, but is the difference in a 4 star and a 5 star review. We asked for an upgraded room due to the damp and were told they were over-subscribed which was not true as they were offering new arrivals upgraded rooms at a cost.

Food was excellent, high variety and high quality. All very fresh and very tasty. Aftab was great and very knowledgeable and very helpful.
