It wasn't my cup of tea...but everyone looked like they were having fun and it is an inexpensive place to go. I thought the food was better than other reviews and a great place if you're looking for a place to party. The rooms are reasonably clean but the smell of mildew is pretty bad everywhere...it's old and on the... More

We did not start this trip off in the best fashion. After flying in after 10pm we got to the hotel around 11. There were approx 50 of us on the bus and only 2 people working the desk. We were not checked in until after midnight. They then expected us to find our own room in the dark with... More

Went to the Grand Paradise from January 13-20 and had a great time. Food was good and there was always lots to eat. Alacarts were extremely good, especially the Steak House. Buffet was good with a variety of food. Beach-Excellent (No need to say more) Pool and swim up bar were nice. Entertainment staff was good at getting people involved.... More

My husband and I just returned from a week's stay at this resort in DR. We have stayed in Punta Cana, and would recommend over Puerto Plata. The beach was okay, but it was very rough. Took snorkeling gear, but there was nothing to see and the waves made it difficult to even swim. The resort staff on the whole... More

We stayed over New Year for 2 weeks in building #12, overlooked on the kid's pool and beach bar. The hotel is really nice. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Food is very good, always plenty to choose from. Very friendly staff. Great animation team. Special thanks to ADA from kid's club. She make our stay with 6 year old... More

I had a good time. The compound of Playa Dorada is excellent for the less adventurous traveler. Everything is walking distance away, and Town is a ten minute drive. I had no issues with the resort itself, but some of the male staff made my stay uncomfortable for they came on too strong (these were the sales rep staff). Besides... More

Gorgeous hotel, very modern and updated. Rooms were great and clean, food was better than average with specialty restaurants. Swim up bar had a large selection of alcohol with great service as it wasn't too crowded. Very close to a mini-mall area in Playa Dorada that you can walk to, there is a small Senor Frogs bar and many other... More

I just came back from 2 weeks here, and I sometimes think that I must have stayed at a different hotel than other people, because I certainly have not run into the same problems as what other people are talking about. It's a lovely resort ... on the small side, but that is what is appealing. By the second or... More

I stayed at Grand Paradise with my fiancé from 28th Dec 2011 – 12th Jan 2012. Front Desk staff are not very friendly but the restaurant staff went out of their way to be attentive. We were bombarded by time share sales people the entire week. We said no nicely, we said no firmly, we dodged, avoided eye-contact and more...they... More
