Hello all.

1st of all let me make things clear, I booked a cheap break and thats what we expected. We paid £850 for myself and my wife with upgraded flights from Manchester. What we got was exactly what we expected, the hotel, the room but as for the staff they exelled themselves.
If you are booking this hotel and can afford a bit extra, Ie. Iberostar Dominicana then pay the extra and book for the Dominicana, however if pennies are at a premium go ahead and book because this hotel is not only value for money but because the staff are so good it counts for another star!
Flew with My Travel, never again.... book with first choice and if you can, go Premium, My Travel were not in their league.
First immpressions of the hotel were not good. The porter grabbed or bags and took us straight through the main pool area, Benidorm eat your heart out. What the rest of the world think about us is true. English blokes (and Im one of them) are usually the problem, young, daft and drunk, this hotel didnt have the lagerlout but by god they had the track suit brigade. It was 2pm (ish) when we got taken through this pool area and the language was graphic, this was by the kids, mothers and fathers of the group. We hurried through and got to our room which was basic. Although air-con & T.V were avaliable the room lacked a bit of TLC but hey who cares. Unpacked and walked around a bit.........Found the savior of our holiday, THE ADULT BAR. This place was great, if you dont have kids this place is the one for you. You can drink, swim, sunbathe and eat without the tracksuite briggade getting anywhere near you. We immediatley made friends with the people round the bar and the staff themselves.
The hotel is great and the staff better,3 stars for the hotel is a bit exagerated but the staff deserve 4. By all means book your stay here and tip the people who you think deserve it, we did and always do. Was going to put something a bit stronger but I cant, The English families made us ashamed of where we were from.

“"Funtastic"”

Fun Tropicale Beach Resort

20 Feb 2008
6/8 found this review helpful

I just returned from a week stay there, 2 weeks ago and have to say it truly was the best resort I have ever been to.

The food was great,service excellent,pools were clean,drinks were good and the staff was absolutely wonderful!

I read some negative reviews on this site and cannot agree with anything that was said.

The only disappointment I experienced was the amount of clouds and rain which I did not anticipate but that had nothing to do with the resort.

I would definitely recommend this resort to others and hope to be back soon!

Made some wonderful friends and am going back to visit next month and attend a wedding!

“Wow!!!! The Best Vlaue Ever”

Fun Tropicale Beach Resort

19 Feb 2008
8/8 found this review helpful

My friend christine and I visited fun tropicale 2nd feb to 16th feb and had the best time. Ok, after over 7 hour delay in manchester outbound, we were exhausted on arrival and a little shocked by the room which was desperately in need of some TLC. After a great nights sleep we hit the activity pool, and the holiday started there. We immediately felt relaxed and just lay back and enjoyed the activities ( not participating) We split our time between both pools and the beach, all of which were fantastic.
Without a doubt what made our holiday unforgettable were the great people we met there, both staff and guests. I have been to the dom rep numerous times but never have I been to such a friendly hotel. I am planning on a return in may.
The 24hr bar was just the best, all bar staff were second to none, and the fun we had there was out of this world.
I have stayed in 5* hotels in the dom rep and can say that not one came close to the standard of service we received.
The food was good, we certainly never went hungry, and although the rooms need upgrading they were always clean, after all you only use them to shower and sleep.
without a doubt the best time ever. Just wanna say Hi James from Canada
