I went to this resort in January 2011 for 1 week. I didn't have any expectations and I had a great trip, I would return any time. The resort was clean, the staff was very friendly and the food was good. I was surprised by the variety at the buffet, every day was different. As a solo traveller I was... More

This resort is terrible. Check in is not great....didn't have the right room and had to have a big fight with the front desk to get the right room. No matter how many people are in your room there is only ONE key per room....they claim it's for safety reason but it's not because people who can't get into their... More

This place was a total dump. Everything was revolting. I don't even know where to begin... The staff was completely useless. Everything was filthy, dirty. The table in our room was crusty and had stuck on dried food on it. There were bugs in our bed sheets. The phone was broken. Lounge chairs on the beach are disgusting and the... More

Just came back from the Playa Dordas complex and the Casino at the grand paradise was tipping cards, taxing off the top of chip piles, and a Pit Boss was watched faning out cards putting them in order and then handed them to the dealer after they had just shuffled the rest. THEY PUT THEM IN PLAY!!! More

November 20-28, 2011 THE NOT SO “GRAND” PART ONE: We experienced a theft the first morning we were there. Admittedly, we did not have a safe, but the money had been tucked well away and in an inconspicuous spot. Curiously, 2 -100USD, 1 - 50USD, and 5 - 20USD bills were taken out of the stash. Also of note, a... More

Just returned from a week stay at this resort. From the very start you are hounded by sales staff who are reps for a time share company. On day one we had money taken from our room we thought is was safe as it was tucked way inside one of our suitcases which was zipped up . So they had... More

This was the worst vacation we have ever taken. Our room was ripped off along with 5 other rooms at the resort in the same week. The security was no help blaming us for the maids going through our suitcases. The food was terrible it was so salty I could not eat anthing but toast. On the weekends the resort... More

Just got back to Ontario, Canada from our honeymoon at the Grand Paradise Playa Dorada. We stayed from October 27th-Nov. 5th. We were not really aware when we booked that it was the tail end of the low season. The resort was completely dead quite. There were many days ( 9 day trip) that it would be us and maybe... More

This hotel has so much potential. You can't ask for a better location... the beach is great - water is clear and warm, snorkeling is right off the shore and long romantic walks along the water are calling you. However, this is all spoiled by the vendors whom you can't escape = not only the beach vendors but the various... More
