Vista Hermosa Holidays

The property is gorgeous and the weather was perfect. The staff was attentive and friendly during my stay. I wish the food was better and the quality of the food was better…some days the food was hot and some days it was cold… the food is mostly bland. The only decent meal I had was at the Le Gourmet restaurant on the property. The wait staff was impressive. The food was good but not excellent. Overall I enjoyed my time there and it was very relaxing.

Overall great experience and I recommend going here. Here’s my thoughts: Pros: Clean, friendly and super helpful staff, lots of stuff to do. They have so many workers trying to make you happy - crazy like 1 employee per 2 guests! Cons: 1. Far from airport (1.5 hour) without any hotel shuttle so you have to either rent a car or get taxi or call hotel to get transportation ($180 each way). We rented car with full insurance ($600). It was a mistake! Driving in DR is a nightmare. Roads are mostly ok but lookout for crazy drivers, motor bikes meant for 1 person but packed with whole family! It is rare to have headlights or tail light working. Lookout for stray dogs everywhere! Also many locals just hang out by the road so be careful not to run them over. Don’t drive at night - you will likely get in a crash. 2. The resort food was about 1 out of 5 including all the restaurants. They have HUGE selection at their main buffet and almost everything LOOKS absolutely amazing. But it lacks taste and quality. The fruits, salads, coffee, ice cream, croissants, guacamole/chips and most cooked veggies were excellent. Everything else we tried were awful. They have 3 beautiful wood-fired pizza ovens onsite but NO WOOD! So we never saw them in action. The pizzas they had were worse than any frozen pizza I ever had. I think they were baked in microwave oven as they lacked any color. All meats I tried were awful. Best meal was scrambled eggs. Baked chicken was ok too.

Hotel staff was amazing! Loved the palm tree covered beach. Very simple and nice resort, not over crowded; would recommend for sure.

I went alone and the service was great and had an amazing time the experience from the start was fantastic the property was beautiful the up keep of the property was great

I love this resort. As a Dominican it feels like home. I’ve been twice and have my next visit there already booked.
