I would like to have reported that I had a great holiday in the Dominican Republic, however I was seriously disappointed largely because of the mediocre hotel that we stayed in. Firstly Playa Dorada is on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic and faces the Atlantic Ocean not the Caribbean. The sea is still warm, however the tides can... more

Don't do it - please! We saw some good reviews for this before we went, and thought the price was good, and wanted to try a different carribean island from antigua. This hotel lives up to all the reviews on how bad it is. The buffet is appalling unless your general diet at home consist of chicken nuggets and chips.... more

Well not long back from Holiday Village, and we had a great time as usual!! This was our 10th Trip to HV ( or maybe more?? lost count!) and as usual all was great.

I don't know where the BAD reviews stayed but it could'nt have been H.V.G.B. or are they just hard to please !!! It's not a 5* luxury hotel but you get what you pay for, 4* enjoyment !! The food was fine in the buffet, always found something to eat. The tables were kept cleared and spotless, the staff work... more

we have just arrived back today from GBHV, there were 8 in our party, ages ranging from 10 to 56, we read a lot of reviews and were confused by the varying opinions of previous holiday makers. I have never written a review before but felt compelled to do so this time. The rooms are basic, although some have been... more

Had a great time with my grandkids, but the staff could do with a course on smiling. The rooms were OK , the resturants were very nice. One of the great things about this trip was that my room was next to my daughter-in-law and the kids. This was very nice, we were within walking distance to the main entrance,... more

this is a review based on 4 people travelling together 50 years old - On 1st impression the village looked great - but on futher inspection it was shabby and dirty. Having travelled all over the world i have stayed in better camp sites. Bedrooms are small, dark and dingy. local wildlife lives on your balcony (well if you can... more

Having read a mixture of reviews prior to booking this holiday, I thought I'd write one of my own just to highlight my thoughts and opinions of the HVGB where we stayed for 2 weeks from 9th June. Firstly, bearing in mind that we only payed £700 each for 2 weeks in the Caribbean, we wasnt expecting 5 star luxury... more
