Dreams Dominicus La Romana

My wife and I visited Secrets La Romana in September 2025 for a vacation. Overall, the resort is in a beautiful location that feels secluded from the area. We stayed in the preferred club and would not recommend anyone book that as it did not feel “exclusive” for the extra money. The staff never checked that we were in preferred club when using the area of the beach or different pool so we always wondered what stopped others from using it. The wait staff also tended to the entire beach so there wasn’t an “elevated” service. We also upgraded to an ocean front room and unfortunately the view is blocked by trees in front of the balcony. Overall, it was an “average” stay and I would want to stay somewhere different next trip versus returning back here to experience another resort.

Really first rate place. Enjoyed it immensley. Food was top notch. We had steak twice and loved it. Staff is really friendly. There were absolutely no exceptions. I would go back again. The only issue is the nightlife. There wasn't much of it. But outside of that, 10/10

The location is wonderful! I haven't seen such beautiful grounds in a long time – very large, with lots of perfectly maintained plants everywhere! There's plenty of room to stroll. The beach is excellent, with plenty of shade and many nice pools! There are nine restaurants with varied menus, plus bars, coffee shops, and lounges. The rooms are spotlessly clean. I can't say the price is low, as they always offer drinks and food for an extra fee. The entire resort is spotlessly clean! The entire staff is very friendly and helpful, always ready to help! What I didn't like: terrible internet (14-17 Mbps) and often poorly prepared food (undercooked, even though the ingredients are good).

We had a lovely stay at secrets la Romana. We enjoyed the preffered pool every day, I think her name was Evelyn and she served our drinks every day with a smile! All of the staff we encoutered were really really nice and Always smiling. Food was really good, on both sides. Azzuri was the only one we did not like that much. Special thanks to Byron Mercedes our butler, he was always there for us with a smile. Quick to reply when we had a question and overall very helpfull. We stayed in building one preffered secrets side. Only three little points for improving; stair railing both sides of the stairs. The smoking area was right in front of our building entrance, so when we were going to our room we have to go trough that maybe another spot would be more suiteble. The room was a bit noisy, we could hear the people next to us snoring. Overall lovely stay, good food and nice staff. We would definitely come back.

We are on our last night here at the resort. This has been a very special holiday for us as we got engaged on the beautiful beach here. Private meal- (additional cost of $99 pp) To celebrate we did a private meal on the pier at the time of booking my fiancé said what we wanted to celebrate to concierge at the desk in the preferred club lounge and requested the table to be decorated however there was no acknowledgment of our engagement and table was just plain no decoration which was disappointing. However the steak at this meal was amazing and it was a nice touch that the chef came out to check on us. Also our waiter was wonderful (can’t remember his name unfortunately) Preferred club- We upgraded at the time of arrival of our stay and did not regret it. We loved having access to the air conditioned lounge and private bar. Lounge was always filled with fresh snacks. We had wonderful service from Olga and Evelyn at the blue bar at the preferred club swimming pool. So attentive and made delicious cocktails. Never had a problem getting sun loungers at the pool or the beach! Food- Our favourite restaurants were Sakura and la moustache. Sakura - we enjoyed the sushi bar and the a la carte restaurant. Food very good. However one thing I will mention is my partner had asked to have sushi at the table at the same time as our meal as we had seen multiple couples do this however we were told no and sushi can only be ordered at the sushi bar with a booking! Which is annoying as 10 minutes later the couple next to us were aloud to order sushi to their table as well as the a la carte menu. La moustache- the duck dish there was amazing. The other restaurant were nice just nothing stands out like the above. Chinola was the only restaurant we didn’t enjoy. The food was very dry like it had been sitting under heat lamps for a long time. Unfortunately the service here wasn’t great either. The waiter came over with the wine list ( which is an additional cost) asking if we’d like wine? Which we responded no thank you as we don’t really drink wine. The waiter seemed extremely annoyed at this and just walked away. Needless to say we didn’t return to chinola. The buffet food was ok. Coffee bar adult side- All of the wonderful ladies at the coffee bar always had a smile on their faces and happy to help. There is one special lady I’d like to mention Cesarina Cedeño who always remembered my order of mint tea every evening and it was service with a smile. Room- Room always clean and tidy. Plenty of storage. Our maid was Elba Iris and she did a great job. I’m unsure of the evening maid who did turn down however she was amazing too. To summarise the staff here in general are wonderful so friendly. However attention to detail was missed in our case which was abit disappointing.
