Paradise Dorada
I booked this hotel because it was suppose to be a 4 star hotel with remodeled rooms. The walls had cracks, the lighting in the room was minimal, the phone in the room did not work. I was given towels that should have been thrown away as they were ripped. In addition, I love going to the casino - another reason I chose this place only to arrive and be informed that the hotel was under renovation - What??? The front desk personnel were not the most polite folks. As for the entertainment and the staff at poolside, bar and restaurants, they were fantastic. The food was great each day. Our overall experience I give it a 7 but I won't be going back.

Great Experience
We experienced a great vacation. It was to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. Management and Staff were so accomodating and we enjoyed a relaxing time just taking it easy. We have been to this resort previously, as well as other Amhsa Marina Resorts and other Playa Doradas Hotels. We usually visit the Puerto Plata area three times a year and we have to say that Grand Paradise is one of the finest. They offer a large selection of food in the buffet and two specialty restaurants. The beds and pillows are very comfortable also. Many want to be super critical, but just go and have a great relaxing time and enjoy the experience.

Can't complain
I had a great time. I can't wait to go back. My wife and I did the dinner on the beach, and people were passing by taking our pictures as if we we celebrities or related to Obama.

A great location
Bed sheets were too small for the bed and falling off. Bathroom needed repairs but, needed three calls for the handyman to show up, to declare that he needed a part and will come back, which never happened. Music was too loud at night, with a whistling noise that pierced my ears. Reception staff not helpful, you need to "pull" an answer from them. I had stomach discomfort, as had many other customers, however, there was no attempt to help. Had to walk to doctor's office, who charged me $212 (US). All in all, I would not go back, nor recommend it to anyone.

what a waste
the restaurants were terrible , staff would try to hustle you for every dollar. to have a safe in your room would cost 20 dollars a week, usually its standard in most resorts

This was a second trip to Grand Paradise and was more impressed than the first. Smooth check-in. Beautiful beach, professional staff, and always great food! Great variety at the buffets, never boring selections. The staff always has a smile and never hesitates to accomodate.

Weeks good, Bad weekends
The hotel was good, the staff were pleasant, BUT on the weekends from Friday at 3:00 pm to Sunday at 1:00 pm the hotel books all the vacant rooms to the locals, when the local guests are on the resort the vacationers are neglected as the hotel does not put on additional staff to handle the influx of guests and also the locals are rude to the staff and vacationers they butt in line they walk in front of you as if you were not even there, they walk into you and look at you as if you did something wrong and don’t have very good manners. Over all I would go back again but ensure I had plans on Friday Saturday and Sundays The food was so so if you like pork and Chicken as that was the primary lunch and dinner meals
