    The best

    Yiri the waitress was the best!!! Everything was very good. Food service was excellent. Everything was done with the smile. We will certainly enjoy coming back and having another drink. The atmosphere was amazing and we felt very welcome.

    Clean maintained resort with a municipal golf course

    Between a 3 star to 4 star. Check-in was verrrry long at 10:30pm as there was a single guy working and a family of 10 was trying to check in under special negotiated pricing. An hour later of waiting patiently, we checked in within minutes. Oceanview room in Building 8 is spectacular and clean. Great view from the balcony. No noise, no loud music and no little kids. The Reserve has two very nice adult pools, bar, and beach front with plenty of palapas. Compared to Iberostar Grand, the Reserve is newer, cleaner and better. Sante for breakfast and lunch are good. However, the dinners are by reservation only. Flora/Dominican was excellent. Mexican was gross and terrible where some dishes used the liquid orange cheese like in sports stadiums. Italian is bearable. Sante is good but not great as food and soups came lukewarm. Haven’t been able to get into the steakhouse so far after 4 days. Not sure what the Grand Cana is like. Beach is beautiful white sand and the resort folks serve you well. Unfortunately the ocean is horribly littered with plastic and there are many boats, yachts, (very loud motors and bad Caribbean music). etc….source of all that plastic and garbage or is this the new world we live in? Cocotal Golf is pricey even at $127 USD ($220 if you don’t and trust me you shouldn’t as there are other nicer courses) if you are staying in the resort. I’ve golfed all over and do realize one will pay more to play at a resort. But this course is a joke. Markers are inconsistent, dog crap and walkers (signs all over prohibiting dogs and walkers but I guess the owners of homes and condos have more power) are on the course, putting greens are scruffy and inconsistent, carts are older and more worn out than at a local public city-run $25 golf course, sand (more like cement) is rarity in the bunkers, but luckily good weather, water, fertilizer and liberal use of herbicide allows the fairways to be acceptable. Melia seems to be building new condos on the course and will have spend big $$$$$$ to improve the course. Maybe that’s why resort tourists are getting gouged for golf. I might return to give the Reserve another chance as beginning January is still the “quiet” time but will check others wrt their food experience.

    Treat you like family.

    The entire resort and staff were amazing! They treat you like family. Ismael, Antonio, Dominga & Clary at Ginger make great coffees and cocktails. Can’t wait to come back again. The atmosphere is second to none. The late night entertainment is first class.

    Very restful

    We had a great time at the Paradisus. We stay for a full 7 days. It was very quiet and relaxing. We stayed in the adult section and we had the premium service. Because the resort was in between the shoulder and the high season we had the concierge to ourselves. The beach was wonderful the palapas were plentiful and it wasn't very crowded. Typical restaurant fare. Best restaurant was Sante for lunch and dinner. Best breakfast was at the buffet.

    Love it!

    We just completed our stay here for the third year in a row. Needless to say, we love it. The staff is always friendly and helpful and our concierge Basilio was the best! He made our stay even better by helping with setting up a spa day and our evening meals. Looking forward to seeing him again when we return in December!
