Hotel Dengan parking di La Altagracia, Dominican Republic

Honestly, I had underestimated this accommodation because of the rate, but yes, I was wrong. The cleanliness is incredible, absolutely spotless, and the customer service is just as good. From the moment I arrived, the attention from Yajaira, the staff at the adults-only bar, and the snack bar made my solo trip delightful. And what can I say, I got to enjoy a spectacular beach... If you're used to trips with a gourmet dining experience, this isn't your place, but otherwise, it was very good. 💫

The majestic elegance is beautiful!!! Very clean, rooms are very nice. The average rating was because we paid extra for “Elegance club” adult only. This was our 29th anniversary and we wanted it to be kid free. We searched for a hotel that had adult only amenities. When we showed up at the hotel they told us those rooms were sold out in the adult only section. That was disappointing since we paid for that section. We were still able to use the amenities but they were two buildings away. We booked months in advance so that was disappointing. They did give us a voucher for $200.00. To be used towards a $360.00 massage. But we would have loved the room in adult only section instead. The drinks were great! The food average. Entertainment average. The staff-some were great but I would say around 90% don’t even acknowledge you with even a hello. Overall though the place is beautiful! The pools are well maintained and had a great vacation overall.

This was our first time in Dominicana and we chose this hotel because our tour operator said it was new and we actually liked the pics (they are real by the way, not like in the majority of the hotels where they post only the best to attract guests). First thing that impressed us was that all staff was wearing masks at all times everywhere: inside and outside! No matter if they were showing sport exercises, cleaning or dancing in the lobby in the evening, they were always in masks! Then sanitizers everywhere . Temperature control at the entrance to the hotel and to all restaurants. The staff also makes sure you are wearing a mask and gloves when picking food. Everyone was polite helping and smiling all the time. I will name only some people here just because I didn't take photos of all names, so sorry if I didn't name you. All receptionists were ready to help and solve any problem you have. Bieavenido (thanks for late night talk, now I know when is the Independence day in Dominicana!😊). All our requests were satisfied within 5-15minutes (not Dominican minutes👆🤣). Guys at the restaurant all who were welcoming, thank you for giving us masks and gloves when we were too overwhelmed with holiday activities and forgot to get them🙈. Thank you for always wishing us good morning, nice day and smiling! Guys who take orders inside the restaurants and my Spanish teachers😅 Ramon, Antonio, Wilsoooooon Rincon, muchos gracias! They always ask you how you are, remember your orders and bring them before you think about it. Mariia Soriano and Andy from lobby bar- the smiliest girl and boy ever! Thank you for your Russian and Ukrainian, keep learning, next time I come I will check up on your progress! 🤣 Animation team- you are beyond human abilities!!! Fly yoga, yoga on surf boards, volleyball, water polo(I think it was water polo😅), water bikes in the swimming pool, sexy dancing, jumping on little trampolines..Ruben & Jason, my sister Debora(best breeds from you!❤)and my evening salsa teacher Coca -Cola(don't lose uno in bachata anymore😉). Love you guys! 🥰 I will always remember all of you, how you invited to take part in the activities, how you were showing everything step by step, your patience, your unique personalities. The best chef on this planet Wander Montilla with amazingly beautifully looking and heavenly tasting dishes. 😋 Thank you for your unforgettable dinner at the stake house restaurant! Also, the cooking show in Asian restaurant is worth seeing! The food is amazing and the products are high quality. We are more than happy with our rest!

This is a large hotel complex where accommodation is spread out over a very wide area in separate residential buildings/villas. There's a tram/golf cart service within the complex, which in theory is great, but in practice, the system is annoying: the carts wait at the end of the line until they're full, meaning you often can't get on if you're picked up along the way. Sometimes several carts would be queuing up. The rooms were mostly clean. I stayed in two different rooms myself. However, the shower water pressure was weak, and on a few mornings, only lukewarm water was available. One morning, pressure washing started in the pool area around 6:00-6:30 AM, which isn't exactly pleasant when you're trying to sleep. The food is generally 3/5 quality. Not gourmet, but not a disaster either. The pizzas at the buffet were better than at the actual pizzeria, which says something. The pizzeria's 'thin & crispy' was more like soggy dough than thin and crispy pizza. In the same place, the lasagna was quite alright, and it sometimes appeared in the buffet as well. I'd skip the sushi restaurant entirely: watery rice mush with a piece of fish thrown in. At the Mexican place, I got the wrong order, and at the Indian restaurant, the food wasn't spicy or hot even when specifically requested. There are many restaurants and plenty of choice, but in many places, customer service and quality are severely lacking. Generally, the male employees gave a lazy impression, as if they were just doing the bare minimum. Female employees, on the other hand, smiled, chatted, and clearly made more effort. There were exceptions, of course, but few and far between. Hygiene also raised a few questions. Birds flew around the food if you left your plate unattended for a moment. Once, I saw a bird fly into the steak restaurant area, where dishes were being prepared. Towels are changed often, but in the evening, they might not be available. Also, you didn't always get your towel card back when exchanging towels, at least not at the quieter pool's towel station. The drinks selection is quite simple: beer, red and white wine were practically all of the same quality. The cocktails felt like they were all made from the same bottle, just with a slight change of color. You can get better for money, of course. On the positive side, there's a different show every evening and activities for children. Waiters also circulate around the area. However, I missed having water stations where I could refill my glass myself without queuing behind food trucks or cocktail counters. If you get the hotel cheaply and your main purpose is to be at a large resort, eat at the buffet, and indulge in alcohol, then it's fine. The facilities are good, but in terms of service, restaurant quality, and practical arrangements, the overall experience remained quite mediocre.

We had such a positive experience at this hotel that we decided to book it again for our last night in the Dominican Republic. The resort is peaceful, featuring saltwater pools, private sea access via a ladder, and crystal-clear waters. A special thanks to Elisabeth, who made us feel right at home and handled our requests with great flexibility and positivity. Breakfast is not a buffet but à la carte, with excellent quality. Amazing sunsets! The location is strategic for visiting Dominicus and Bayahibe. We would definitely return if given the opportunity.

One of the most complete and well-organized hotels I have visited, excellent facilities, superior, pleasant services, extremely good food, super special treatment from the collaborators, thanks to Mrs. Anny, very attentive and kind, I give her a 1 million rating for the way she treated me and my wife.

Went to Bahia because we had a moderately nice experience in Mexico. This one was a very uncomfortable one for us mainly because of the people and the food. We felt hunger many times in this ”all-inclusive” hotel. The restaurants serve mediocre food, in small quantities, with least authenticity and does not invoke any feeling on consumption. We ate at the restaurant and then also to the buffet to feel a bit full, but the buffet equally lacks real food with low quality vegetables & fruits and just badly made food that looks un-appetising as well. If you're someone who loads up of meat and alcohol, this place might be for you. Sadly not for us, and at the end of our 5 day stay, we felt very depressed, glad to leave and our taste-buds were dead. The rooms were large and clean, some parts were dated and the bathroom did not have a door to shield from the AC, which was weird. The beach was a great positive to our otherwise hugely disappointing stay. Made us doubt going to all-inclusive hotels ever again, would definitely not recommend.

I had a wonderful experience at Caribe Deluxe Princess. Traveling solo felt easy thanks to the warm and welcoming staff and animation team. A special thank you to Eunice for her kindness and positive energy and Xavier from the animation team for keeping things fun. Also Belkys, who cleaned my room and was incredibly sweet. The resort is beautiful and well maintained, with a great evening atmosphere in the lobby. The buffet was good, and while some items were repetitive, the options were plenty. I also tried the Dominican à la carte restaurant, which I really enjoyed. The beach and the sunrise were absolutely spectacular. Overall, a great stay from start to finish and I would definitely return. Thank you ❤️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional stay – highly recommended! We had an amazing stay at Hotel Alkquimia. It’s a beautiful boutique hotel, spotlessly clean and elegantly designed, with a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. The location is absolutely ideal — very central, safe, and literally close to everything. You can walk everywhere, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The rooftop pool is absolutely lovely — perfect for unwinding, with a great vibe and a very pleasant setting. Breakfast was delicious, fresh, and a great way to start the day. The ladies at the reception were amazing: warm, friendly, and always happy to help with anything we needed. Their kindness truly made our stay even better. Our room was cleaned daily and was always sparkling clean. The layout was comfortable and stylish, and the bathroom was modern and impeccably maintained. Overall, Alkquimia was an outstanding experience, and we highly recommend it. We would happily stay here again!

Lovely hotel close to the airport so the convenience is like no other and the service is good and top of the line. Couldn’t ask for more for a hotel close by to the airport
