Frommer's Review
This is the largest of three nearly adjacent hotels that are each administered by the VH chain. Of the three, this has the most whimsical and least formal decor. It occupies 100 landscaped hectares (247 acres) of ocean front that's divided into three clusters. The quietest and calmest of the three is the Beata Wing, which is just a bit removed but easily accessible, on foot, to the more animated Catalina and Saona clusters. You'll find a higher percentage of children here than at many other of Playa Dorada's resorts, thanks to the Kid's Klub and a day-care center. The resort is composed of a series of three-story buildings, softened with landscaping, that are each trimmed with latticework and vaguely Victorian-inspired fretwork; each unit has mahogany furniture, ceiling fans, a balcony or patio, and, in many cases, views of the sea.
Facilities: 5 restaurants; 7 bars; 3 outdoor pools; tennis court; health club; sauna; watersports equipment; horseback riding; children's center; salon; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; 1 room for those w/limited mobility.
