Hotels near Jardin Laberinto, La Cana

We stayed in block 11. The room was lovely. Very spacious and clean. There were three plug sockets in the room. The maid service was excellent. The bathroom was clean, with two wash basins and over bath shower (water pressure not fantastic in the shower, but it was sufficient). This block is close to the lobby and the main restaurant. If you go to bed before the evening entertainment you can hear it in the room (not an issue for us and it doesn't go on all night either). The grounds staff work hard all day to ensure everything looks perfect. The pool area is clean and tidy. There are plenty of sun loungers and shade available. Lifeguards are present throughout the day too. There is a full entertainment schedule if you want to be active and the team are so friendly. Jenna remembers everyone's names, and Edmundo (apologies if I've got his name wrong) has boundless energy during the exercise sessions. Weekends seem to be quite busy with local families coming in to the resort for the day. This was something we liked about this hotel as it made a change from the usual routine during the week. The beach also has plenty of shade and loungers available and the ground staff ensure the area is clean and tidy. The sea is not that 'clear blue' you expect from the caribean but it is clean and it is only due to the nearby river inlet that it appears slightly murky. I went in a few times no problems with jellyfish. The main buffet restaurant is lovely, with lots of choice. Watch out for Hugo and his team of waiting on staff, (to the left of the restaurant as you walk in), they are so attentive, hardworking and genuinely friendly. The pool/beach restaurant provided enough choice and was not restricted to fast food only. We didn't restrict what we ate at all and this is the first time in years that neither of us have had an 'off' day due to tummy upset whilst on a longhaul holiday. The staff in every department are wonderful. Particular mention to Hugo and Jhon D in the restaurant, The maid in block 11, Jenna, from the entertainment team, the reception staff and the general manager who was visible at different times throughout the day in different places and she always makes the effort to stop and chat and ensure you are having a good time. Overall, we have really enjoyed our stay and plan to return next year.

5 nights stay in this newly opened Hilton property. Highlights: Beautiful pool. Very clean hotel. Rooms are modern. My stay was quiet with little to no other guest noise from other rooms or people outside my room. Location was near the excursions my wife and I wanted to do. Staff is attentive and offered help when asked. Checkin and check out was correct and easy. Morning breakfast was a mix of local breakfast items and typical North American style breakfast buffet items. Cold fridge in the room Big bathroom Beautiful view of ocean from ocean facing room from the 2nd floor room we had. Recognized my status and gave me a room upgrade and daily food credit for being Hilton Honors Gold. We were the only people at the pool on a beautiful sunny afternoon day. This is a plus for me. Entire Staff was incredibly friendly to us our entire stay. Room A/C worked perfectly the entire stay. Things to consider before staying here. Hotel is not in a tourist area yet, its location is in a developing neighborhood. In my opinion. On call taxi service on site provided by hotel staff. The cost of a taxi from hotel is a bit more than the rate of local taxis. No stores or convenience stores next to location. Speaking and understanding at least a few key words in Spanish will help you navigate the hotel and surrounding area of La Romana. A few staff members spoke English. Hotel is inside a gated area with 24hr security guards. My wife and I bought lunch and had a few local beers at the hotel. Food was good, the prices plus tax were reasonable and comparable to an average restaurant visit in the United States. Meal cost around $45 USD with tax. No beach access, just pool. Extra Information: La Romana the city (not the cruise port) is a busy buzzing active community lots with people walking, motorcycles everywhere, a few stay dogs and lots of bodegas. Supermercado Jumbo is the major grocery store in La Romana. We went to the Multiplaza La Romana (mall) One afternoon. It’s a 10 min taxi ride from hotel. It has a few stores and a store that reminded us of Target in the U.S. Our Opinion: This hotel for the reasonable room price met all of our needs and expectations. The pool is beautiful and hotel is extremely clean. The food is great. My guess this hotel will grow in popularity over the next few years. It’s not a resort or all inclusive but it is a good place to stay in a tropical island in the Caribbean along the ocean.
