Dreams Dominicus La Romana

We have just come back from an amazing 10 days at Secrets La Romana- by far the best resort I have been to. We went as a group of 8 family and friends, including a wheelchair user and we couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Accessibility around the resort is good, there is beach wheelchair access and disabled toilets were generally good but it was variable - there is a specific wheelchair spot on the beach which we didn’t use as part of a larger group however this is a great addition. Staff always wanting to help if needed. The resort is SO clean, always cleaners in the public toilets, especially on the beach- everywhere experienced was spotless. The food was amazing at this resort, we ate mainly at Caboa buffet for breakfast and some lunches, lots to choose from and fresh meat/fish/eggs cooked to demand. We mainly ate at à la carte restaurants in the evening, the Sakura teppanyaki was a highlight, as well as steak at Mare and the beef skewers at Noor. Cocktails and drinks also amazing, using branded alcohol. Great selection of snacky food in the day, including a pizza stand at dreams and the beach grill and BBQ at secrets. The coffee shops were also great across both secrets and dreams - iced coffees were great. We all had ice in our drinks the whole time, ate a range of food and had no stomach problems. As big foodies, we were so impressed with the food and drink at this resort and being able to use the bars and restaurants across both secrets and dreams was amazing! The beach and pool areas are incredible, such beautiful views but you do have to get up early to get a sunbed. We did beach Zumba daily which was so fun, as well as different classes throughout the week. Sitting in the secrets pool bar overlooking the view is a great way to spend early evening! The staff were overall great, really friendly and helpful! It’s worth noting that we were not collected until 4pm on the day we left but were able to use all facilities still despite being checked out of our rooms, something we haven’t usually experienced, this was great. Overall, I would highly highly recommend this amazing resort, we all absolutely loved it and didn’t want to come home!

This was our 3rd visit to this hotel, but first as a Secrets. Layout was similar with some additions, including the Secrets lobby/bars/shops area. We stayed in a privilege club garden view room. Room was the same but had obviously been refurbished. It was spacious with plenty of storage. Bathroom had twin sinks and a spacious shower but a tiny toilet cubicle. There was an iron and ironing board, hair drier, tea and coffee making facilities, Pringles and peanut M&Ms. Fridge contained water soft drinks and beers. Usual Bathroom supplies that included mosquito repellent which I did use. Room was cleaned well every day and supplies relaced. There were 4 a la carte restaurants and a buffet. We ate at Mare, which was beachside. Had a lovely breakfast there every day, one lunch and 3 dinners. All excellent. We ate at Sakura twice, once for sushi (had to book for that). All very enjoyable. Only ate at Noor once, food was good but menu wasn't to our taste. Generally they didn't police the dress code in the restaurants very well. We used privilege club lounge every day. They had a good selection of snacks which we found was sufficient for lunch. Drinks were excellent and we usually ended our evening there with a night cap or 2. It could do with being a bit larger, especially the outside space. There were 2 pools but we only used the quieter privilege club one. You had to be early to get a prime position sunbed but there were usually plenty available all day. Drinks service was excellent. At the towel station the had a large container of 50+ sun lotion and cooling after sun a a cooling spray. A nice touch. Overall, we had a lovely relaxing break and would probably return.

Caoba our server Jeidi is a super attentive and always with her beautiful smile, going out of the way for anything we needed. Hope to come again soon.

Very nice facilities and friendly staff. Dayelyn Garcia was specially kind. We enjoyed our stay very much.

I couldn’t not give this hotel 5 stars because the majority of the time this place is fantastic. Most of the restaurants are very good, the beach and pool areas are immaculate, the rooms are better than average and some of the staff’s performance is exemplary. On the downside I witnessed some poor food hygiene practices that were more training issues than anything, but they need addressing. For example picking up raw fish and cooked poultry with the same tongs, and too many ungloved fingers in the buffet. This property was a Hilton until recently and it was clear that they were working hard to raise the standards. That said I wasn’t ill, I’d go back and I would highly recommend this property.
