This hotel is in a gated community and is safe to walk around and talk to the people on site. The beach is beautiful and there is a shopping plaza where you can buy clothes and gifts. The hotel was very clean and the rooms are big and specious... the best part for me was the entertainment crew, they were... more

My husband and I just returned from the Carribean Village Playa Dorada last weekend. We booked last minute through Red Tag.ca and got a good deal. We had searched the reviews on various sites and knew what to ex pect at this resort. It is listed as a 3-star and it is definitely no more than that. We knew to... more

My friend was turning 40 and wanted to go somewhere sunny to remember her big birthday by, so we went searching for a cheap girls trip away. Our travel agent recommended to caribbean village,so we booked it. After we booked I went on trip advisor and became very nervous about where we booked from the reviews I had seen. But... more

on our 3rd trip to the Dominican but first to this resort, we were a bit nervous after reading some reviews, but we were put at ease right away by the wonderful staff, the great room and maid service, location, etc. This resort had been closed for 6 months and just re-opened in Dec. 07 so it has a few... more

I went expecting below average and was pleasantly suprised! The staff is awesome and friendly. We loved our room. Big, clean, lovely balcony. New owners so the whole run down thing you may read in other reports don't mean a thing. The lunch room food is fabulous considering all the people they have to feed. Every day something new. It's... more

My husband and I stayed here for our very fist holiday ever. We booked through CAA. Our cost was only around $1500.00 for the two of us for a week all inclusive. We found the rooms to be fairly clean and roomy. However, we did have to go looking for clean towels most days and get on their case to... more

We had read some pretty poor reviews, but have always travelled with an open mind. We arrived, and were checked in very quickly, by a wonderful staff. Once we arrived in our room, we were a bit disappointed, however, once we got some light into the room, and opened the doors to our balcony, all began to change. The place... more
