We were 4 girls (in our upper 20s) that went down there for a week and we had a fabulous time!! True, the resort has many stairs, but it really wasn't a big deal for us. Our room flooded the first night (we were on the ground floor with an amazing view) when a huge hurricane like thunderstorm hit and... more

We went to Sun Village last year. I am not surprised at all by the bad reviews it has gotten. First and foremost, the food was absolutely horrible. I think I actually lost weight on this vacation. Day after day of boring, greasy, monotonous food. We went once to the mexican place only to look at the pathetic offerings and... more

Sun Village Resort does have a very friendly and efficient staff. The hotel grounds are lush and pristine. It truly is a beautiful place! Our food usually receives rave reviews. It is rare to hear anything to the contrary. Things do taste differently here than they would taste in your hometown, wherever that may be. We use fresh ingredients for...

Returned from the dominican on tuesday 15th july 2008. This was the best holiday i have ever had. I went with my 2 children aged 4 and 8 and my 16 year old niece and we all had the best time. Where can i start. There are just so many good things to say about this hotel. The complex is... more

After much research on where to go for a romantic getaway, my significant other and I found this unforgettable deal at sun village resort & spa. We could not refuse the offer. We visited Sun Village for 8days/7nights, from June 15th to June 22nd, which was off season. The resort was nice and quiet. However, towards the end of stay,... more

Please read this carefully before deciding on a vacation resort !!!! July 8, 2008 Upon arrival at the airport we were met by a very nice rep from Cosco Tours and was taken to the hotel via van. We were greeted by very friendly porters and taken to our hotel room after being checked in. The room we were issued... more

This guest; unfortunately, did become ill at Sun Village, though it was not because of the hotel food. In communication with his wife, she says her husband, who fell ill, did not have Traveler’s Diarrhea, which is correct. He was diagnosed as having gastroenteritis. There was NO outbreak of e-coli or salmonella here nor has there ever been. Gastroenteritis is...

We went to Sun Village 6/23/08-6/30/08, booked the Spring Package (7 nts for $399/pp + taxes and fees). It ended up being $550/pp. This was for a superior room so it was a great price. I agree with a lot of the comments that I've read on here about the food and the staff. The buffet is the only thing... more

Both my girlfriend and I visited Sun Village for 8days/7nights (June 15th to June 22nd). We were obviously there on an "off season" week; the resort grounds were very quiet. At first we questioned it, but in the end we welcomed the seclusion. Towards the end of our trip more and more people started arriving, that's when everything got "loud"... more

Sun Village Resort & Spa is undergoing a renovation. The guest rooms are being revamped and the process takes time as we must fit in certain upgrades in between reservations. If a guest room has an issue we immediately remedy the situation or move the guest to another room. Our grounds are pristine. Indoors and outdoors our facility is extremely...

We visited sun village in the first 2 weeks of June. The staff were friendly and helpful,and there was a lovely atmosphere, particularly in the first half of our stay, when the place seemed to be only half full. Unfortunately we had a substantial amount of money stolen from our room almost as soon as we arrived. The security people... more

Sun Village Resort & Spa is a very safe and quiet place. It is rare to hear of anything going amiss. The few instances where a guest has reported something “missing” s/he later returns to the front desk or calls to let us know they’ve “found it!” and it was temporarily misplaced. This particular guest did report money missing from...

Despite reading the mixed reviews, we booked a seven-day trip to Sun Village at Cofresi Beach to decide for ourselves what it was all about. We aren’t very picky or of discriminating tastes, so we felt we could work through the low points we heard about the resort and it would be a pleasant stay. Let me preface this review... more

Sun Village Resort & Spa is in the process of upgrading its guest rooms. Our beds are posturepedic and our amenities are first class; we are continually modernizing our furnishings. Still, guests wishing for an immediate upgrade are certainly offered a change whenever possible for a nominal fee. Our air conditioning units are part of the renovation work. Still, we...

For one Check in is horrible we arrived at 1p.m. and weren't able to check in until around 5 p.m. Second, we had to call 5 out of... more
