Gran Ventana Beach Resort Review

A Distinctive Blend of Sophisticated Design with the Charm and Hospitality of the Dominican Republic

Gran Ventana Beach Resort Review:

This wonderful Beach Resort offers a distinctive blend of sophisticated design with the charm and hospitality of the Dominican Republic. The resort's lobby extends with beamed ceilings and a view of the ocean as its centerpiece. Exceptional service and a sense of relaxation greet singles, couples and families from the moment of arrival.

Gran Ventana Beach Resort Review of Location:

Gran Ventana is situated directly on Playa Dorada beach in the heart of the tourist zone, just 11 miles (18 Km) from the International Airport of Puerta Plata “Gregorio Luperon”. Usually, you can find a taxi or catch a bus to the hotel for a reasonable price. Renting a car is another alternative. The majority of rent-a-car companies have an office at the airport.

The first hotel in Playa Dorada was inaugurated in 1981 and it was developed thanks to the help of the Central Bank of Dominican Republic in conjunction with the World Bank and the Inter-American Bank of Development in 1976. It was later sold to a North American company which delivers it to the Operator Jack Tar International.

Playa Dorada Complex is based in Field and Club of Golf, public Club of Beach, sidewalks and avenues and other public services.
