Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort

We are an easy going couple with average expectations, however we were a little disappointed with our stay, arrived after a 9 hr flight, went to our room, all we waned was a cup of tea, there were a couple of tea bags, 2 expresso cups, that only hold an egg cup full, there was a kettle which we weren't expecting, we did bring our own as this is our second time to Dominican, there was no milk. Everyday we had to get a plastic water bottle and fill up with milk from Breakfast and smuggle 2 mugs out, then once in room, washed the mugs up and hide way so the cleaner didn't take them ..! There was a Wedding party that stayed for a week, it got rather rowdy and noisy at the swim up bar and a couple of females were rather over familiar with staff, i felt embarrassed for the staff, the were there to do a job. There was not the selection of food as in previous hotels at Dominican. the hotel was very clean and staff were always cleaning floors/ glass Being British, i just found it hard work to get a cup of tea/coffee in the room, i took our own tea and coffee, travel kettle and tea spoon, will take mugs next time On the whole it was an OK experience, there are better hotels available that make you more welcome. The staff's English was not that great either, bearing in mind that they cater for the American and Canadian Market

Absolutely beautiful. Perfect mix of fun and relaxation. Food was good. Place was very clean. Alan, our concierge, went above and beyond for us. He got us reservations that we wanted, and made my sisters birthday extra special.

Highly recommend staying here, entertainment team, Mini cooper, Dana, Fernando were all amazing and kept the energy high at all times!

Wily was great!!! Everything was good.Olio was my favorite place to eat!

We absolutely loved our stay at Paradisus Palma Real – Adults Only Reserve. We were in room 7216. Not only did we have a view of the 2 adults only Reserve pools but we also had ocean view. What a lovely surprise! The various bartenders were amazing. The drinks were fresh, delicious and strong. If you are a wine drinker, I recommend hitting the duty free at the airport before heading to the hotel. The house wine is just ok. And if you want a certain wine, it is very expensive through the winery. The food was the best food I ever had in DR. The Adults only reserve restaurant (Santé) was so nice and intimate. This restaurant is both buffet or a la carte style for breakfast and lunch and is a la carte for dinner. We had breakfast and lunch here just about every day. It was a small buffet, but every day was something different. And there were many options to keep each meal interesting. The seafood was amazing. I had a different type of ceviche every day. The fish and seafood were so fresh, and so delicious. We had 2 diners here and they were both delicious as well. Tokimeku was the Sushi restaurant. The BEST SUSHI WE HAVE EVER HAD. We had a la carte (however, Hibachi was also an option) Wonderful Service and great Saki. The other restaurants were also good but those were our favourites. We had room service once for breakfast and it was delivered on-time, hot and exactly what we wanted. Kicks Sports Bar. We did not eat here. However, after 11pm, the music was great – just like a club. On big game days, it is filled with sports fans and they have big screen TVs. There was an exclusive Yoga on the beach that we were able to do. This was very disappointing. We were driven on a bus to a low quality resort to board a catamaran. The catamaran had a toilet with no seat and didn’t flush. We were supposed to boat out to a beach for yoga. However, they were unable to moor so we had to do yoga on the boat. At first, we thought they were joking. But no. There was no shade and there was not enough room for everyone to do yoga. After 20 mins of breathing exercises, we anchored and swam at a sandbar. We then got back on the catamaran and headed back to where we boarded. Instead of taking the bus back, we opted to walk the beach back to our resort. It was such a waste. The evening entertainment in the plaza was wonderful. There were generally 2 acts. There were violinists and cellists who would play top songs (think Bridgerton style). There were also vocalists and bands. All were very talented and entertaining. The activity staff would generally lead some sort of line dancing. The resort grounds were well maintained and beautiful. Our Concierge, Zenovia, was amazing. She ensured that we got to eat at every restaurant that we wanted to eat at. There was a large group monopolizing many of the reservations. Zenovia got us in anyway. Our air conditioning went down one night, and she was there working with maintenance to ensure it came back quickly well past the end of her shift. She verified our room service order when we cancelled it by mistake and made sure our room was cleaned when we missed housekeeping. She sent us the daily activities every morning and arranged for a private transfer to the airport when our return flight was delayed. She was an absolute delight to have as a concierge. We loved our stay at this resort. We plan to return and maybe book a Reserve Adults only Swim-up room.
