Frommer's Review

This massive resort has the most extensive and impressive facilities on the island. From the wave pool to the water-slide pool to the private watersports lagoon, the installations here make it a great choice for families with children and anyone looking for constant activity. The rooms are spacious and cool, with plenty of light. Some rooms have private balconies, and the best of the lot have ocean views and balconies. All the bathrooms come with bidets, although some are quite cramped. The hotel is located on a long stretch of beautiful beach, which can get a bit rough at times. Free jitneys circulate constantly to take you around the extensive grounds. With a steady flow of European all-inclusive travelers, Laguna Mar's bars, dance club, and casino stay fairly lively. Most of the meals are served buffet-style. Reserve early if you want to eat at one of the a la carte restaurants. The resort sells a mix of all-inclusive packages and timeshares, and you can often get great deals, either through travel agencies or directly via Internet bookings.

Facilities: 5 restaurants; snack bar; 4 bars; dance club; midsize casino; 6 outdoor pools and several children's pools; 9 lighted tennis courts; exercise room; 3 Jacuzzis; watersports equipment rental; children's programs; babysitting; tour and activities desk; car-rental desk; small business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hour room service; laundry service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
