November 20-28, 2011 THE NOT SO “GRAND” PART ONE: We experienced a theft the first morning we were there. Admittedly, we did not have a safe, but the money had been tucked well away and in an inconspicuous spot. Curiously, 2 -100USD, 1 - 50USD, and 5 - 20USD bills were taken out of the stash. Also of note, a... More

Just returned from a week stay at this resort. From the very start you are hounded by sales staff who are reps for a time share company. On day one we had money taken from our room we thought is was safe as it was tucked way inside one of our suitcases which was zipped up . So they had... More

This was the worst vacation we have ever taken. Our room was ripped off along with 5 other rooms at the resort in the same week. The security was no help blaming us for the maids going through our suitcases. The food was terrible it was so salty I could not eat anthing but toast. On the weekends the resort... More

Just got back to Ontario, Canada from our honeymoon at the Grand Paradise Playa Dorada. We stayed from October 27th-Nov. 5th. We were not really aware when we booked that it was the tail end of the low season. The resort was completely dead quite. There were many days ( 9 day trip) that it would be us and maybe... More

This hotel has so much potential. You can't ask for a better location... the beach is great - water is clear and warm, snorkeling is right off the shore and long romantic walks along the water are calling you. However, this is all spoiled by the vendors whom you can't escape = not only the beach vendors but the various... More

First off I want to say I read all of the reviews on this site before going down on my honeymoon with my new wife. Needless to say I was worried! The hotel was fantastic, we had a suite, and had no complaints! Never ran out of hot water, and the maid service was excellent. Air Conditioning was a god... More

Very good location - on the beach. Loved the open air restaurant, also on the beach. The rooms near the pool may be a little noisy, but that's ok if you like the fun. More

Me and my partner are 24 and stayed here from the 26/09/2011 to the 10/10/2011 the hotel is located on a lovely beach and the grounds and rooms are really nice. Me and my partner are not very fussy and think a place is what you make of it and normally stay in 3 to 5 stars places. The weather... More

Booked Grand Paradise for a cheap and cheerful holiday and that's exactly what we got. Room was exactly as described. Had problem with water coming from A/C but it was quickly fixed. Good variety of food - people complain about the food but I felt that for a buffet they made a good effort to mix it up. Amazing view... More
