"We have been here many times over the years. This was the first time since it reopened as Paradisus after refurbishment. We decided to try the Reserve level. It was much more expensive and did not offer very much extra in terms of facilities or dining options. The Reserve Pool area is enclosed by a concrete wall like a stockade or prison. It is still the windiest pool and we spent more time around the lagoon pool on the sheltered & sunnier side of the hotel. Reserve also offered breakfast in a separate dining area with table service. This area also served as a bar & lounge for Reserve during the day. Again we didn’t spend any time in there. The hotel was NOT full and a lot of staff were wandering around asking if everything was alright but they didn’t really want to hear anything but yes. The huge sandy beach is the attraction of this hotel for us and it is likely we will return, but not to the Reserve Level. "

"The front desk staff were very pleasant, but the breakfast staff were a bit rushed and unfriendly. The rooms were large, but very dated. Several things needed replaced and there was a sewer like smell in the bathroom. The breakfast had a large selection, but was disappointed that the hot breakfast did not provide "pork free" options because everything is cooked on the same grill. The pools were decent and not crowded, but the dry sauna and hot tub were not working and the wet sauna had a bad smell. The hotel is about 10-15 minutes walk from a few shops, restaurants, and the beach. The hotel did not have water or beverages for sale, which was needed with the hot weather. I was not impressed with the area , but overall the stay was decent and safe."

"Really nice sea view room. Delicious food options. Beautiful beach."

"Lots of privacy a good plus. Food was moderate. Enjoyed the stay"

"The regular hotel rooms are dated but functional, I can’t speak for the rooms exclusive to Priviledge Members. The hotel could do with an overall lifecycle facelift. That being said, the layout, outdoor facilities and the design of the building is beautiful and the staff/service were excellent, very thoughtful, friendly and welcoming. We had half board and only ate in the betancuria where food was 7/10 with some good variety. We did see cockroaches here and there but I guess that’s due to the climate more than anything. I would go again, 4/5."

"Always a excellent stay at this property"
