Just got back to London from a 2 week stay in this hotel (25/5 - 8/6) 1. Room (9/10) - nice and clean, a maid mopped the floor, cleaned the bathroom and made a bed every day, perfectly functioning A/C, convenient terrace. We'd appreciate changing the towels more often. 2. Food & Drinks(10/10) - plenty of various types of food,... more

I have been reading the reviews for this hotel, and I fear there are some really spoiled people out there. I think for the price, you could not have had a better vacation. The rooms were big and clean, PLENTY of food, and NOT the same thing every day. (I hardly saw any pasta!) This was a first vacation for... more

Not having been to Playa Dorada before, we were unaware that the resort consists only of hotels and nothing else. The only people you meet in Playa Dorada are people staying in the hotels, and people working in the hotels, so not much fun there. The rooms are pretty basic, clean enough but no frills. The public areas are well-designed... more

As a relatively experienced traveller, I have stayed in a variety of places ranging from unrated to 5*+. When I booked this vacation, honestly, I was not expecting anything in the way of extraordinary, considering that the entire package was only costing me $649 Canadian, all inclusive. I read quite a few of the other reviews posted on Tripadvisor, and... more

We stayed at the caribbean villiage, it was a good hotel for the money we paid, it could use some renovations especially to the bathroom, some of the food was average while others were awesome. Even thought he hotel is not located on the beach it is only a short distance on the tractor. We especially enjoyed the a la... more
