A European manor in the Caribbean...
Located outside the picturesque town of Puerto Plata on the Dominican Republic Amber Coast, known for its stately Victorian houses and unadulterated views of the Atlantic Ocean, Casa Colonial, with its style of a private estate nestled in the warmth of a Caribbean island, offers European elegance of colonial past and gives an entirely new meaning to the five-star concept. .
Some of the 50 junior suites and suites reflect the style of the great plantations of the past, while others reveal a surprisingly contemporary flair! Intimately defined as a boutique hotel, Casa Colonial is exceedingly grand in matters of comfort.
The shimmering sands of Playa Dorada invite you to go barefoot and feel the warmth of our golden sun. A swim before breakfast is the perfect start to the day at Casa Colonial. The infinity pool and four temperature controlled Jacuzzi whirlpools, provide hours of relaxation on our serene rooftop terrace facing the ocean. Enjoy a swim, sip a tropical cocktail and lose yourself to the majestic views of the horizon. Vibrant gold and indigo sunsets are viewed from the beach or from one of our bars offering panoramic "vistas".
Our stunning gazebo on the beach is the perfect setting for special parties and the idyllic choice to make your wedding or anniversary celebration unique. Our gourmet Lucia restaurant serves international dishes with sensuous variations inspired by our award winning chef, who often enhances flavors with exotic island fruits.
Inspired by the warm waters of the Caribbean and the island lush and verdant landscape, Bagua Spa draws on the abundant natural resources the Donimican Rebupblic offers, in creating Spa treatments rooted in the ancient healing arts and time-honored traditions of classic therapies.
For those who favor the sporting life, activities include swimming, snorkeling, sport fishing, scuba diving or a challenging round at Playa Dorada's golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Senior, only few steps away. This hotel is not all inclusive

Perfect Spot for a Honeymoon
pj Nov 14, 2009
From the minute to arrive into the spacious lobby looking through into a cool italian styled foyer and bar you are ... immediately relaxed. Casa Colonial feels like a cross between Versace's home on Miami Beach, A villa on Lake Como and a bermuda boutique hotel. It is elegant, stylish, well thought through and dignified. The restaurants on the premises are truly wonderful. Consider that there is not much else to do in Playa Dorado or Puerto Plata (with the exception of Al Frescos, a local seafood restaurant). Get a beach front Jnr suite. The beach is very close and nothing beats the sound of the waves from your 4 poster bed. Pool area sits on the top floor above a well appointed spa. Infinity pool leads to 4 jaccuzis, perfect for couples. I'd avoid bringing kids. Owner is classic Italian, his stylish wive has done an amazing job designing Casa Colonial. I cannot stress enough how amazing this place is.

Phenomenal Vacation
Romantic Couple May 11, 2009
The hotel is truly magnificent--from when you are first greeted, offered a cool drink, and checked in to our last day, the ... service was impeccable. Our room was on the third floor, had a balcony which overlooked their lagoon/manicured gardens, and was on the same floor as the pool. We spent the days reading, walking on the beach, hanging out by the pool, and not doing much else. Casa Colonial is one resort in a larger complex of resorts that share the same long stretch of beach-- The resort was not busy, and we did not take advantage of the spa, which looked amazing. The hotel had amazing outdoor spaces--the rooftop infinity pool with four jacuzzis overlooking the beach, a beachfront bar, beachfront cafe, and formal indoor dining space-- The service was personalized and impeccable. Finally, the food was consistently good to great--even for vegetarians--

They have you sign for a 1000 dollar charge--but, only charge your credit card for the actual amount that you use at the end of the stay. The complex's central mall is located a short walk away with a bunch of souvenir stores, a couple of restaurants, and, the single most efficient Pizza Hut known to man. While the food in the hotel is excellent, the prices for food and drink are comparable to US prices, and the 16 percent tax and 10% service fee at the hotel really increases the prices--the mall offers a much cheaper price for snacks and bulk alcohol.

Very Expensive!
Marco Apr 22, 2009
There is no question that "Colonial" is a first class hotel. I was lured to this newly built (3 or 4 years old)with what ... seemed a reasonable rate considering it's proximity to a great golf course and private beach. (About $1700 for seven nights)However, the cuisine and liquid libation is prohibitively expensive by any standard, never mind "Dominican" pricing! Further, you can only "charge" to your room and they employ a very misleading accounting practice of separately listing the food and drink. This makes it difficult to reconcile the "totals" you sign for each time you charge dinner, lunch, etc., etc.! I will contest these charges whence I receive my Visa statement. Exchange dollars for pesos at the local shopping Plaza (Hotel drives you for free by golf cart)...for tips for the staff. You will save appreciably by tipping separately in cash. 100 pesos goes a long way with [...] at the breakfast "Veranda" and other beach and jacuzzi conveniences; such as that frozen Pina Colada or daquiri, "officiously" served to thee after a refreshing dip in the azul sea water! DO NOT reserve dinner "on the beach!" Exhorbitantly Expensive!!!!
Traveler type: Couples
Though a 10 percent tip is built into everything (its the law of the land, BTW) outstanding service should be rewarded and frankly is reciprocated in many ways. A little extra alcohol in that drink a little extra fruit in your breakfast plate. Needless to say, Golf at Playa Dorada is a 2 minute drive by hotel cart and absolutely outstanding (about $100 USD for 18 holes with cart...caddy extra and mandatory unless you've an up to date PGA card with less than a 10 handicap)
