So i read the reviews before we left for our first anniversary holiday and thought these people must be so picky and hard to please.WRONG.They were spot on. The place is too big for a start and should be split up.On arrival there were no bell boys to help with luggage so we were handed a map and had to... more

My boyfriend and I had a relaxing holiday at Grand Paradise,the grounds were well kept and the staff were friendly.We had a meeting with the rep the next morning which was very useful. We planned a day trip to saona Island,this came to $90 per person but was an unforgetable experience.we travelled across in a speed boat and stopped half... more

We read all the bad reviews about the A/C not working, the rooms smelling like mold, the water pipes breaking, etc, but thought how bad could it really be?! We thought maybe those were just isolated events, but everything we read in the reviews was SPOT ON! We changed rooms twice and they both had a strong odor smell. The... more

This place is the worst. The food, service and staff are terrible. Is you speak very little or no spanish you will hate this place. The staff will not help you. You can only go to 2 ala carte resturants. The best food in the sea-scape / sea food was the chicken and pasta. The Asian was the best. Even... more

Where to begin? Ok, travelled as part of a group of 3...aparently, only 2 people in the group had reservations on arrival. The Thomas Cook rep was no where to be seen (actually, I am yet to be convinced that Thomas Cook even had a rep for this hotel...but thats a different story) to offer confirmation of our bookings. As... more

We arrived at the resort after dropping off the other passengers to their beautiful hotels; it seemed a bit disappointing of the dull exterior and no grand fancy reception. As we checked in, we waited for the bell boys to take our luggage, but were given a map and off we went to find this room a good 10 min... more

I have stayed at the Grand Paradise Bavaro back in April 2008 for 2 weeks and I have just booked another trip for this same resort again and will be leaving in September for one week that I've been counting down to day by day since booking it. First of all, I use this website to research my resorts before... more

Read all the reviews before I left, and still went with great hopes. Got there and the staff were so rude. If you did not speak spanish , forget it they would not help you at all. I ended up taking my own bag to my room. I stayed in the farthest part of the hotel. Ithas to parts to... more

The hotel staff was very rude when we checked in. They had our reservation wrong. We had reserved a total of six rooms, five were supposed to have double beds and one room was suppose to have a single. When we brought the room situation to the attention of the staff we were ignored by several people at the front... more

Hotel has two parts. The primary one is ok and close to the beach. Another one is called Club and is pretty remote from the primary one and have no access to the beach but has casino (wtf?!). So if you have a room at Clubs side, you have to walk or take that small train to get to the... more
