Overview
Situated along the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, the Gran Ventana Beach Resort rests along the flawless sands of Puerto Plata Beach and is an all-inclusive property ideal for couples, families, and group getaways.
With a long list of premiere amenities right on the premises and in the rooms, you may never want to leave. However, should you wish to explore the area, the Playa Dorada is nearby and full of shopping, dining, and entertainment options like the Isabel de Torres Cable Car taking you 2,700 feet up above the region, the diving and water sports of Playa Dorada’s beaches, the historic Santiago De Los Caballeros, and more!
The resort itself has the pristine beach, three swimming pool areas, all kinds of activities that include biking, diving, snorkeling, and even SCUBA! There is daily entertainment that includes classes in Spanish, Merengue dancing, cooking, and live shows and even special options for kids.
Dining is all-inclusive and ongoing throughout the day. You’ll find gourmet restaurants, cafes offering snacks or drinks, and everything in between. Dine at Octopus for Caribbean specialties, enjoy poolside meals and drinks, beachfront experiences, and more.
And the rooms are also idyllic retreats. There are more than 500 rooms ranging from suites to penthouses and they are spread out in charming “villages” with gardens, lawns, and non-stop sea views. All rooms offer a balcony or terrace and include plasma TVs, private baths, daily restocked refrigerators, direct dial telephones, and more.
Don’t let the idea of all-inclusive make you think of anything less than premium services, amenities, and activities. The Gran Ventana Beach Resort offers everything you need for an unforgettable getaway.

Pros (+) This was my second time staying here and it is 100% better. The rooms are updated and they are really nice, the restaurant was updated and that too was really nice. The food was amazing! We are very well. The entertainment was cute and funny, the whole family enjoyed it. Most of all, the staff were all amazing. Everyone always had a smile on their face and they were always eager to help. We had 13...

Pros (+) The food was great at the buffet, the room was very nice and comfortable. The staff was very friendly at all times.
Cons (-) I didn't like that there is no club inside the actual hotel. My boyfriend and I wanted to go dancing and we had to go outside the hotel to get to the nearest club. But overall it was a really good experience, I would go back
Pros (+) The food was great! The pool was large and fairly clean. Good air conditioning in the rooms. Energetic activities staff.
Cons (-) The beach was so windy we couldn't sit there. Hard to find -- no sign in front of hotel or on the street. The shows were mediocre at best -- not always family friendly. Hard to get a reservation to one of the restaurants. The free internet in lobby was frustrating and rarely worked.
Pros (+) I was attending a Wedding Vow Ceremony and upon arrival to departure Everyone was very polite friendly with the best attitude. Food deliciously prepared, my suite was very clean, furnished appropriately and very comfortable.
Pros (+) From the friendly reception to the beatiful facilities, great food and we'll appointed room, this resort is excellent. The staff is very well trained. The dancers in the evening traditional Dominican dance show were excellent. I stayed in the VIP portion of the resort and it was a great atmosphere. Stinning architecture throughout. From the moment I checked in until when I checked out, I kept tell...
Cons (-) All good.

Pros (+) Service and food was excellent.
Cons (-) Night club not included, and needed more animation.
Pros (+) I liked that the pool had a bar n the beach was walking distance. They had shows every night. It was a fun night.
Cons (-) I didn't like that the authenticity of the national foods was very poor. But it was ok.
Pros (+) I was pretty pleased. I like the design and set up of everything. I liked the beach huts that protect you from the sun and the pool was very nice. Maybe it just wasn't very busy when we went (May 19 - 24) but I didn't think it was too crowded and could always find a chair by the pool or a hut on the beach. I found plenty of food to keep me satisfied. Restaurant food was really good. Be sure to tak...
Cons (-) Beds weren't very comfortable but not horrible either. Not good for side sleepers - that's for sure, but not as bad as some reviewers made them out to be. I brought my own pillow too based on some of the reviews I read. Some of the staff was not too friendly. Learn some Spanish if you don't know any, that helps increase their friendliness and helpfulness towards you. One helper in the dining room ...
