The property has potential, entertainment is weak the food was okay, they looked under staffed. Pool bar was closed only top bar was operating had to wait a long time for service. They would run out of curtains juices that are supposed staples at the resort and the crew were not that intense. The resort was over all okay. But wouldn’t stay there again.

I didn’t like the facts that it’s took so long for me to check in. Even after they told me to come back after 3pm to get the keys. I waited in line again still the room was not ready. No water in my room. Even when I went to the front desk ask them. Never received. Not crazy about the food. But the place it self was clean and the people were very friendly.

I like the fact that they a large variety of food, they food was decent. I paid for two nights for the Junior suite with two queen size bed but instead they wanted to give me one king size bed I told them I paid almost $600.00 USD for two beds they told me I have to wait until 3pm which is the check in time, the room was ready 10 minutes before 4pm. When I got to the room they had place a bed that it didn’t match with the other bed and it was in horrible conditions, also didn’t have a drawer, a tall mirror or face towels. I have pictures of the bed but I can’t upload it here. I ask to speak to the person in charge and they never reach out to me. I do not recommend this resort

Initial Impressions: The dining staff were friendly, but the reception lacked warmth and customer service. I was disappointed that they don’t offer a welcome drink (even water or juice would be fine) and require you to borrow an iron for just 40 minutes. This felt particularly frustrating given the price of $3k for 5 days. Additionally, we only received two towels for a room meant for three people, and there was no coffee maker unless you booked a junior suite. Overall, this did not feel like a 4-star experience. Incident & Discrimination: The real issue arose with an incident involving my 3-year-old son. While he was resting at the beach, I went to get him food from the food court. I was rudely told by a staff member that feeding him outside the food court was not allowed. Despite my efforts to comply, I was reprimanded multiple times by different staff members, which felt like harassment. After this experience, I discovered that Expedia had reduced their rates to $130 per night from the $274 I paid. When I raised this with the General Manager, Mr. Lora, on the 28th, I was still waiting for a price adjustment. Although they offered a VIP upgrade as compensation, it was frustrating to find that guests in that section were allowed to eat at the beach—contradicting their previous reasons for denying me. Additionally, we lost hot water in all our rooms, and the cleaning crew left a bottle of bleach in a room with a 3-year-old, which could have been dangerous.

A Nice Place to Stay in Puerto Plata
The VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort is a nice place to stay in Puerto Plata. It has a lovely pool area and a nice beach. The rooms are comfortable and basic, although they need a little bit of renovation (e.g., the bathrooms) as they seem somewhat dated. A plus that this hotel has is that it has safe parking (necessary if one has a car) and a shuttle service to the airport if one does not. We had a car and discovered that not too many hotels offered secure parking (necessary in DR). The food choices offered at breakfast, lunch and diner were fine, including lots of fruits, desserts, pastas, beef and fish dishes. However, don't expect gourmet selections - in any All-Inclusive. One negative comment is that given the number of people staying at this hotel, it sometimes takes some time to check in as well as to check out. I recommend that if you plan to stay at this hotel, avoid the weekends, and stay there during the week, when it is much calmer and obviously less crowded. ADDITIONALLY, AVOID RENTING A CAR IN THE DR. This has nothing to do with the hotel, but something that you need to know, as driving rules are not followed nor enforced in the DR. I have traveled all over the world (and yes, drivers in India, Egypt (Cairo) and Türkiye (Istanbul) are worse); nevertheless, the DR drivers are the worst in the Caribbean, as well as in Central and South America (and I have been to almost every country in these areas). Taxis are inexpensive in the DR.
