My wife and I stayed at the Victoria for 2 weeks from 16th to 30th Jan 2010, this was our first visit to DR. We flew out of Manchester with Thomas Cook, and as someone has already expressed in a previous review that they would never again travel with them, I can only agree having had lots of problems, not... more

I stayed at the Victoria Beach and Golf Resort from December 15-29. It was my third stay there. I have to say I will not be back. The first week was not bad.

Victoria is a very quiet resort bordered on two sides by a golf course and ponds very picturesque and only 15 mins from... more

Taking this into consideration, our expectations were not particularly high, although having read the Trip Advisor reviews, we were fairly optimistic. Flight... more

The rooms are very spacious and are kept very clean. Only bad thing I would say is that the lighting was poor when... more

My new wife and I spent 8 days at the Victoria in early Dec 2009. We have nothing but great things to say about the hotel, it's staff, it's sister hotels and the Playa Dorada area. For price you cannot beat the offer we got through orbitz. The food is fantastic, the beaches a pretty and there are lots of... more

I am slghtly confused with some of the reviews on trip advisor regarding this hotel. Firstly I would like to say that the staff with one exception are excellent, in particuar Emilio, Anna and Jedulka. However that is the only really positive thing I can say. The rooms are sufficient but certainly not of a four star. The lights are... more
