The resort was in the process of some refurbishment. The standard of the rooms that we occupied were well below 4 star standards, although kept very clean. During the 2 weeks we were there the bath tap fell off the wall on a number of occassions and was finally replaced when I took it and presented it to Reception. The... more

For all you out there that wrote rotten reviews, where were you staying, cause it wasn't the Gran Ventana. First of all on arrival we were greeted with cool drinks and within ten minutes we were booked in and being shown to our rooms, which were large, airy and very clean with a stocked fridge. Admitted, there was not a... more

Just returned from our holiday at the Gran Ventana on Sunday. Overall we had a really great holiday and, in general, the hotel was great although there were a couple of things that put a dampener on it which I’ll come to later. This was our second visit to Dom Rep and fifth consecutive time in the Caribbean with the... more

Well what can we say about the Gran Ventana - to sum it up it was excellent. My husband and I travelled there with our 2 daughters aged 6 and 2. We were pleasantly surprised on check-in that our room had been upgraded to a junior suite. We stayed in the Beata block which has a lovely swimming pool and... more

Introduction As the title suggests, this hotel is brilliant "value for money". Discerning trip advisor viewing will have read previous reviews and on balance, will have probably concluded that the Gran Ventana is a good hotel. It is! For those trip advisor viewers who are undecided whether or not to stay at Gran Ventana - GO! You will have a... more

This hotel was probably lovely about 10 years ago but it's now best described as shabby and in my experiance it falls very short of it's 4 star rating. We arrived to a reception which looked quite nice but dont be fooled! Our room was in "Beta Block" which we now know is the accomodation block yet to be refurbished.... more

I stayed at the Gran Ventana Beach Resort in August 2007 on our family's usually 2 week summer break. This year the family (please note it was not me) chose to stay in the Dominican Republic which I was not too keen on with the Malaria problem in the country. Anyway, we were staying in the Gran Ventana which we... more
