We just got home from a week long vacation staying at the Celuisma Play Dorado in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. I'd read the reviews prior to our trip and really didn't know what to expect. I'm a firm believer that your attitude determines how great your vacation is going to be, but that being said, there's still some things that... More

American Airlines put us up in this flea-bag place after they cancelled our flight. Thank God it was only for one night. It was so dirty, I was actually afraid to sleep in the bed. No washcloths. No phone. No television. No drinking water in room. We had to walk down to the dirty outdoor cafeteria and pour it out... More

I spent a week at this resort in February 2013. Its greatest strength is its proximity to a beautiful beach. Our room was clearly one of the renovated ones--its decoration was a little austere, but it was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We got to see one of the non-renovated rooms on the last day, when we were... More

The dishes and utensils were dirty they had dried food on them. The staff were unfriendly. This hotel is not child safe and is not... More

I have been to the Celuisma Tropical. First of all the food is horrible. The rooms are clean and very old. There is one pool . The beach is nice but rough. Locals come in and try to make you gamble when you are playing a friendly game of pool with your family. Well there is no bacon on mornings... More

We stayed at Celuisma Playa Dorada from Feb 22/2013 to March 1/2013 and let me tell you book somewhere else. There are no lamps in the room so the lighting is very low. There are no telephones or alarm clock's in the room either. They leave you 1 roll of toliet paper per day. They knock on your door at... More
