I visited this hotel with my fiancé and two of our friends and we had a brilliant time.

Some of the previous reviews I have read, I cannot understand as it seems like a different hotel to the one we stayed in.

On arrival there was a slight wait to be checked in but we were taken to our rooms quickly by golf buggy... read more

When we arrived to the hotel we were shocked!!! The hotel is suppose to be 4 star but when we went to out room we would not even give one.

The room was smelly, dirty, with very old furniture and mold in the bathroom. We were moved to another room the next day, it was slightly better but not up to a standard... read more

After a 27 hour delay we arrived at grand flamenco where we had to queue to check in for 45minutes, then another 45 for porters to collect our bags! I had requested when booking (six months previous) for a ground floor (as we have three children) with pool or garden view... read more

We arrived at about 1:30pm to be told that we could not check in until 3pm, even then it ended up being more like 4pm. The kids were hot & sweaty and just wanted to get in the pool but we ended up sitting in reception waiting. I felt like crying when I saw the first room (1... read more

On arrival we were taken to our room by buggy, great. The humidity was something else. The room was air conditioned, clean and spacious. (I wouldn't agree that it was 4 star.) 2 plastic chairs on balcony with plastic table, facing a row of trees. 1 king size bed, wooden table, 2 chairs, 2 bedside cabinets, wardrobe (with enough space for clothes for 2), dressing table with drawers and mini fridge... read more

Went for 2 weeks in March to the Grand Flamenco and initially very disappointed. We booked an allocated on arrival guaranteed four star so when we got this hotel we thought great a 4 plus! Our room looked shabby and in need of decorating and the television looked like the 1st television ever made... read more

Our 2-week stay in Hotel Occidental Grand Flamenco (December 8 – 22, 2005) in Puerto Plata, on Playa Dorada, convinced us that all-inclusive was the way for us to go – it was wonderful to be able to eat and drink anything you wanted any time you wanted, without dealing with money! And it definitely saves you money (eating – and drinking - out every day gets expensive), unless you’re one of those types who like to go off exploring every day and only sleeps at their hotel... read more

Just got back from 21 days at the Flamenco, we had a fantastic time. We were in block 7 and was transported there with our bags in a golf buggy, cannot see what people are whingeing about, if you cannot walk a couple of hundred yards, to the hotel/pool area there is something wrong with you... read more

The place was beautiful. It was so clean. Their people were so friendly especially Showtime one of the reps. the food in the buffet was out of this world, and the rooms were clean and freshly painted. There weren’t one thing there that I would change and id definitely got back there again... read more

The Hotel has very nice grounds and looks very clean and tidy. BUT... The buffet restaurant was ok! Breakfast was a little off putting, veg and left over’s from the night before were put out.

If you want to try the A’la carte restaurants get up early as you have to book @09... read more
