My husband and I went to the Grand Paradise for our 10th anniversary. We absolutely loved it, the staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and there was a great variety to chose from, my husband is a very picky eater (will only eat Canadian foods), but i enjoyed trying the local fare. The entertainment was excellent as well, my husband still walks around saying "ah, you lazy, lazy" as the gentleman that ran the games around our pool said when he refused to get up and play along with him.

First I would like to say, that even with our delays (18 hours!) and communication problems travelling with Sunwing, this trip was one of my best trips ever!

The hotel is beautiful, it was larger than I thought it would be, and arriving to the Grand Paradise and seeing on a map that your room is the opposite side of the beach was not the best moment, but it actually turned out to be an amazing thing. It was alot less noisy, not as many people sharing the pool there, you felt like you had the whole pool and pool bar to yourself sometimes. The buffet was a 2 minute walk and to get to the beach it was as simple as hopping on the trolley (which runs 24 hours, and we never waited more than 5 mins for it). The room was the cleanest room I have ever had down south, partly because the maids come in more than once a day..fresh towels all the time was a nice treat! The grounds were very well kept, you can tell they work really hard to keep everything looking nice and landscaped.

The food was excellent as well, the pizza was the best, I think I ate some pizza everyday while I was there because I loved it that much. There was 6 of us, and everyone always found something yummy to eat.

Overall, this was a great resort/vacation, ultimately I go down south for the beach, sun and amazing people and this resort had all that and more! I would specially like to thank Carlos Gil and Felix for being amazing staff and making our vacation that much better with their smiles and service!

After reading some of the reviews, I was a little nervous about this resort. I went for one week with my family, from Feb 5th -Feb 12th, 2013. I can tell you that we had a great time! I have done alot of traveling to all inclusive resorts, therefore I can compare. At this resort the staff are very friendly, but there was one employee that made sure our vacation was wonderful and his name is Juan Gomez Ramirez!!! I have never had better service from an employee as I did with Juan. He is a very caring man who always went out of his way to please us. Because of Juan making our vacation so special, my sister and her boyfriend are going to this resort. They are very excited to meet Juan and have him in their memories also. We will come back to this resort as long as Juan will take care of us! Juan if you are reading this review, thank you for making our holiday special.

Just returned from Grand Paradise Bavoro and had an awsome time. Food was very good. The service was excellent, staff were friendly and especially Carlos Gil (Cafe concierto) always smiling and making us feel like family. Had a few issues with our room however Thonny our Sunwing rep was very helpful and made our stay a great one. The resort grounds were beautiful and cleaned. There was plenty of chairs at the pool and beach. The only thing that was missing were cappucinos. Overall it was one of the best resort i stayed in.
