Casa Colonial Beach & Spa Resort Puerto Plata Dominican Republic. Best Hotel Deals & Reviews

Description:

A European manor in the Caribbean... Located outside the picturesque town of Puerto Plata on the Dominican Republic Amber Coast, known for its stately Victorian houses and unadulterated views of the Atlantic Ocean, Casa Colonial, with its style of a private estate nestled in the warmth of a Caribbean island, offers European elegance of colonial past and gives an entirely new meaning to the five-star concept. . Some of the 50 junior suites and suites reflect the style of the great plantations of the past, while others reveal a surprisingly contemporary flair! Intimately defined as a boutique hotel, Casa Colonial is exceedingly grand in matters of comfort. The shimmering sands of Playa Dorada invite you to go barefoot and feel the warmth of our golden sun. A swim before breakfast is the perfect start to the day at Casa Colonial. The infinity pool and four temperature controlled Jacuzzi whirlpools, provide hours of relaxation on our serene rooftop terrace facing the ocean. Enjoy a swim, sip a tropical cocktail and lose yourself to the majestic views of the horizon. Vibrant gold and indigo sunsets are viewed from the beach or from one of our bars offering panoramic "vistas". Our stunning gazebo on the beach is the perfect setting for special parties and the idyllic choice to make your wedding or anniversary celebration unique. Our gourmet Lucia restaurant serves international dishes with sensuous variations inspired by our award winning chef, who often enhances flavors with exotic island fruits. Inspired by the warm waters of the Caribbean and the island lush and verdant landscape, Bagua Spa draws on the abundant natural resources the Donimican Rebupblic offers, in creating Spa treatments rooted in the ancient healing arts and time-honored traditions of classic therapies. For those who favor the sporting life, activities include swimming, snorkeling, sport fishing, scuba diving or a challenging round at Playa Dorada's golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Senior, only few steps away.

The hotel is truly magnificent--from when you are first greeted, offered a cool drink, and checked in to our last day, the service was impeccable. Our room was on the third floor, had a balcony which overlooked their lagoon/manicured gardens, and was on the same floor as the pool. We spent the days reading, walking on the beach, hanging out by the pool, and not doing much else. Casa Colonial is one resort in a larger complex of resorts that share the same long stretch of beach-- The resort was not busy, and we did not take advantage of the spa, which looked amazing. The hotel had amazing outdoor spaces--the rooftop infinity pool with four jacuzzis overlooking the beach, a beachfront bar, beachfront cafe, and formal indoor dining space-- The service was personalized and impeccable. Finally, the food was consistently good to great--even for vegetarians--

As a certified meeting planner, I travel a lot and have spent many nights in "resorts" both stateside and in the caribbean -- I have even worked in one. Casa Colonial is a wonderful surprise on a island overrun by all-inclusive impersonal mega hotels. This trip was to celebrate my 40th with my best friends -- two other experienced travelers. From the moment the enoromous gates are opened, you relax in the tranquil elegance of the understated courtyard. Casa Colonial is a magnificently maintained property where you are treated like royalty by the staff from the start. Check-in was smooth, room beautiful, food outstanding and personnel that is unrelentless in providing the best service ever. Chef X's birthday dinner was decadent . Y at the beach tended to our every need. And the spa staff turned back time for me. Z not only removed stress, but about five years, too. If you are looking to relax, rejuvenate yourself, make your reservation immediately. P.S. Don't balk at the room rates, because you are worth it and you will be pampered right through check-out.

There is no question that "Colonial" is a first class hotel. I was lured to this newly built (3 or 4 years old)with what seemed a reasonable rate considering it's proximity to a great golf course and private beach. (About $1700 for seven nights)However, the cuisine and liquid libation is prohibitively expensive by any standard, never mind "Dominican" pricing! Further, you can only "charge" to your room and they employ a very misleading accounting practice of separately listing the food and drink. This makes it difficult to reconcile the "totals" you sign for each time you charge dinner, lunch, etc., etc.! I will contest these charges whence I receive my Visa statement. Exchange dollars for pesos at the local shopping Plaza (Hotel drives you for free by golf cart)...for tips for the staff. You will save appreciably by tipping separately in cash. 100 pesos goes a long way with [...] at the breakfast "Veranda" and other beach and jacuzzi conveniences; such as that frozen Pina Colada or daquiri, "officiously" served to thee after a refreshing dip in the azul sea water! DO NOT reserve dinner "on the beach!" Exhorbitantly Expensive!!!!
