Gorgeous hotel, very modern and updated. Rooms were great and clean, food was better than average with specialty restaurants. Swim up bar had a large selection of alcohol with great service as it wasn't too crowded. Very close to a mini-mall area in Playa Dorada that you can walk to, there is a small Senor Frogs bar and many other... More

I just came back from 2 weeks here, and I sometimes think that I must have stayed at a different hotel than other people, because I certainly have not run into the same problems as what other people are talking about. It's a lovely resort ... on the small side, but that is what is appealing. By the second or... More

I stayed at Grand Paradise with my fiancé from 28th Dec 2011 – 12th Jan 2012. Front Desk staff are not very friendly but the restaurant staff went out of their way to be attentive. We were bombarded by time share sales people the entire week. We said no nicely, we said no firmly, we dodged, avoided eye-contact and more...they... More

We were there Jan 11-18th. The staff was very friendly. The vendors were a bit annoying but like others have said, you just tell them no. We lost 4 days (3 nights) at the resort with our daughter being in the hospital. The resort called every day checking on her as well as Nolitours that were on site. The people... More

Average resort. Arrived 7:00 PM and our room wasn't quite ready and if we wanted a it balcony it would take even a bit longer. We waited. As we were there with our "Royal time share points" we met with our rep who gave us a tour of the property. Finally our room - overlooking the maintenance service area, no... More

I just flew in from my 5th time in the Dominican and my 4th time at Grand Paradise. I absolutely love Grand Paradise and the staff is very friendly and always happy to see us every year. The food is great--I get an omlette from "omlette guy" every morning and always tip him because he makes such a great omlette.... More

The resort and staff were really great. Clean rooms, great maid service and all service staff were terrific. Only complaint was the food . For the love of God, do something. Soooo bad had to go off site to buy a decent meal at Pizza Hut and then again to Hemmingway's Bar. Have to say Honey, Fernando, Blackie and my... More
