Iberostar Selection Hacienda Dominicus - All Inclusive

We give it 9.6 out of 10. Beach extremely clean, lot's of sun loungers and plenty of room between them for privacy. Variety of drinks available at the Lighthouse on the beach. You can even take the drinks in the sea as plastic re-usable cups! The sea was crystal clear, beautiful. With your head above the water you will be able to see each other's feet! Caribbean sea was like a hot bath, you can get into the water instantly! Even at 8pm it was extremely warm. You can see fish in the sea at two locations, one as you get into the water on the far left, and another a bit further in. There was plenty of fish there but not a huge variety from what we saw, but we still really enjoyed it. Buffet food always 10/10 big variety to choose from. Service is always fast and your waiter will take good care of you. You can even get sparkling wine at breakfast! Fruits here were incredibly fresh and juicy. No matter which time you arrive everything is always fully stocked up and ready to eat. We went to 3 different al Carte, Italian- steakhouse, Japanese and Mexican. We enjoyed Japanese the most, the chef cooks in front of you and it's very entertaining! Food and service was 10/10 for the Japanese and steakhouse. Sadly our experience at the Mexican wasn't so good we give it 1/5. Whilst waiting to enter we noticed Spanish speaking couples sitting there had drinks but we were not offered any. When the waiter came to invite us in despite us arriving before another Spanish speaking couple they were invited in first, seated first, and served their food first. This was poor service by the waiter. When we sat down we were immediately offered the expensive wine menu and not told about any house wine. You will find a huge variety of alcohol at this resort, cocktails, rum, beer and many more! The lighthouse bar and the pool bar were our favourites! The hotel itself and the grounds were beautiful! It was a joy to walk around the resort each and every day. The place was kept very tidy and the gardens have been well looked after. The vibe of this hotel was very Dominican and fun! There was a variety of evening entertainment every night including live shows, music and dancing. One night a Michael Jackson act performed, if you have the chance to see him whilst you are there do NOT miss him! He was absolutely amazing! So why do we give this hotel 9.6 instead of 10? We have a few recommendations for improvement as follows: 1) During our 7 night stay we saw on two occasions third party vendors come to the resort and stay for what seemed like hours. They were very pushy and made it uncomfortable to walk around the hotel as you couldn't really avoid them due to them setting up in multiple popular walkways around the hotel. It would be better to have them in one area only so that if guests do not want to be bothered by them we can simply walk another way. As there are local markets very close to the resort I think it's best that vendors do not come on-site. 2) Sargassum

We vacationed at this resort in April and I can leave only positive feedback.Service and food were above our expectations.Very clean beach with crystal water ,many sun loungers ,very friendly staff who try to do everything for a great vacation.I read a lot of responses and was a little worried because I didn’t know who to trusted until I saw everything with my own eyes.We were very pleased with the experience and plan to return again in August, I advise everyone who reads the reviews , believe me , this is a great place for vacation .Thanks to all the staff for a great job.

Me my wife and her father checked in on 5-6-25 and have had an amazing time! Check in was very smooth and quick. We arrived around 2 pm and our rooms were ready. I will say we are club members so I don’t know how the main lobby check in is. The entire staff here has been friendly and helpful. If you visit the beach area for prestige be sure to stop by the bar and grab a drink and say hi to Carlos!!! The food has been average I would say but you will not go hungry!! Can’t wait to come back!!!
