Ok, so I would just like to begin by saying I have stayed in the Dominican Republic quite a number of times now, and have stayed in all the Riu hotels as well as Gran Ventana. This was my second trip to Grand Oasis Marien, I hoped to return to this hotel as soon as possible, after I left in... more

Just returned today 1st of Jan 2009 after spending 3 weeks there , would i go back No Way. The buffet restaurant was just about OK, the service in there was very poor, the staff were very nice but there just not enough of them.The food was very bland and the presentation wasn,t good.

We stayed in this hotel from 6th Dec 08 to 21 Dec 08, what a disappointment!!!! I don't believe this hotel is a 4* plus. As the other review suggests be careful with belongings i had my glasses case stolen whilst cutting bread at breakfast and it could have only been the bread replenish-er. The case only contained $14 and... more

Here are a few comments about our stay: ROOMS We were in Block 6, a new and quiet block well away from the noise of the disco, pool, theatre. The newer blocks are blocks 6, 8 and 9... more

The GOM is a nice place but would recommend you be very careful with your valuables . It is easy to let your guard down amongst the sweet smiles & 'Olas' but I have paid the penalty for it. I opted not to take the safe and locked some cash and valuables in my suit cases . The locks were... more

We spend two weeks at the Grand Oasis Marien in late November and early December of this year. First of all our room was directly across from the Disco which played really loud, and I mean loud (I can't image what it sounded like in the disco) music until after 1:30 am. I was totally unimpressed that they would put... more

We booked our stay with JetBlue Getaway. We were very pleased with this resort and think it is a great value for the money. We are not big meat eaters and found that there is something to eat for everyone at the buffet and Pasta and Mexican restaurants. They do serve big hunks of meat, don't know how that was.... more
