Hotels near Church of Saint Dionysius Sanctuary of Our Lady of Altagracia

"A great property where you can tailor your experience. Each night we could walk around and there was always a lot going on, with different parties/activities and different vibes depending on what you want. I was very satisfied with the food options, from the main buffet breakfast to privilege lounge dinner service. Drinks are good quality too. The lagoon was perfect for swimming, soft sand & gentle waves. The main beach is too rocky & rough to swim but the lagoon makes up for it. We never had problems finding chairs on the beach, and the el beso pool was a great option during the daytime too. Staff were all awesome and added to the overall experience. Minor drawback in the standard junior suites, ours smelled a bit damp upon arrival, and we didn’t feel the bathtub was clean enough to use if we had wanted to do so. The bed was comfortable, the room and balcony are very spacious. We will likely return in the future, in upgraded room."

"Our stay was AMAZING so much for kids to do."

"The toilet was not clean the shower can be scrubbed better in the corners and surfaces "

"Beautiful pool and beach! I really liked that the water park area is separate from the main pool and beach, it made it feel more relaxed overall. The water park itself was great for kids; my 6-year-old had a blast on the slides, though it was a bit smaller than I expected. We upgraded to a beachfront swim-up room, and honestly, that saved our trip. The room location and convenience made a huge difference. Unfortunately, the food was a major disappointment. Even for an all-inclusive, it felt very mass-produced and low quality—most of it was barely tolerable, and even the pizza wasn’t great. Service was also hit or miss. While we did come across a few genuinely warm and welcoming staff members (who really stood out), overall the friendliness level felt lacking. In the end, the upgraded room made the week enjoyable, but based on our overall experience, we wouldn’t return."

"I think the resort is extremely overpriced. It's a massive property and a lot of the hospitality feel is lost as a result. Most of the workers do not make you feel welcome -- some do, but it's very hit or miss. I've experienced much better service at other resorts that are half the price. They don't even smile here. The rooms need to be updated, and many of the fixtures in my room were broken or work (i.e. toilet seat and tissue holder). There was also a lot of rust. The food at La Isla was the best on property -- the breakfast at The Market was very lackluster, cold, bad quality. It was also next to impossible to get a dinner reservation at the nicer restaurants, even trying to book a few days out. The shuttles ran consistently, but the place is not very walkable. They need better signage, it's very easy to get lost. The pool was ok, and there is an adults only pool if you don't want to be around kids all day. The golf course was in good shape, but overpriced compared to quality places like Punta Espada and PGA 4. They did have decent rental clubs, but you had to rent for $70 USD. Overall, I don't recommend this place. For what you're paying a night, it's simply not worth it. "

"Everything was perfect. The only thing I was disappointed with was not being able to swim later in the evening 😔"

"I was very disappointed with the current state of the facilities. The water quality was poor, and bird droppings were visible throughout the area. To make matters worse, the ice cream has noticeably declined in quality compared to last year—even my daughter didn't want to finish hers."

"Pools were great temp. Beach was amazing. Food was ok, I ate mashed potatoes and hashbrown patties/fries for breakfast lunch and dinner. I’m a picky eater and vegetarian, there wasn’t much for me to eat. We upgraded to a king after finding out we booked a king but actually had 2 doubles. Our room was across from the main theatre and people were extremely loud and partying til 5:30am. I got no sleep. The shower is super slippery and hubby slipped walking into the shower and went head 1st into the shower window and shattered it. I slipped in the shower and ripped my baby toe nail off. They need to install textured grip to the tiles. The mini bar was only filled once during our week long stay. We found the pools to be clean except for the party pool (beach right) so many people in there it was filmy and can’t see the bottom. The other pools were nice and clear. The music we found was too loud in the pools and was extremely hard for the bartenders to hear your drink order, they made us the wrong ones quite a bit. From what we saw most people weren’t tipping. This was our 1st time in the DR and coming from trips to Cancun where everyone was tipping was a big shock. The workers here worked so hard it was sad to see them tip less most times. We had issues logging in with the wifi and had to get the lobby to help which didn’t work so they had to hotspot my phones data for the tv. The highlight of our trip was the mattress, it’s the most comfortable mattress we have had at a hotel!"

"Good food "
