Location. Along the Dominican Republic’s Amber Coast the Grand Oasis Marien Resort All Inclusive offers travelers to the Caribbean an all inclusive vacation in a family friendly yet romantic setting. 13 miles from Puerto Plata International Gregorio Luperón Airport, this resort is a short distance from the Victorian city of Puerto Plato.
Hotel Features. The beaches of the Atlantic are but one feature of the Grand Oasis Marien Resort All Inclusive. Water and land sports including windsurfing, snorkeling, kayaking, tennis and volleyball are standard, but the pool sets this resort apart. Shaped like a Y with a large garden island, this grand pool is the centerpiece of the resort and includes special areas for children.

Kidz Paradise offers kids ages four to 12 their own pool, playground and supervised activities while parents have fun in the sun. As the sun sets the hotel offers evening dancing and theatrical shows.

The resort’s dining options include El Cayuco, serving international fare buffet style with themed dinners each evening. La Guama has a casual beachside buffet during the daylight hours and in the evening transforms to El Charro for formal Mexican fare. Above the Tubano Bar, the Caribbean Grill is not part of the all inclusive plan but offers all you can eat dinners at a modest price.

Guestrooms. The warmth of the island is reflected in the 322 guestrooms at the Grand Oasis Marien. Terra cotta tile floors and orange and green fabrics contrast the cool breeze from the balcony. Standard amenities include air conditioning, cable television and mini refrigerator stocked with beer, sodas and bottled water.

Nice complex, disappointing lodging

Gini's rating:

"Took Mom to Dominican Republic for 10 days. It took us three hours to check in to the resort because we arrived on a Friday. Apparently if they have any vacancies over a weekend, they offer them to locals. I don’t have a problem with this except that the locals show up en masse with all of their relatives and children in tow and duke it out for lodging space at the front desk. Forget standing in line, forget the desk staff even attempting to restore order. It was literally a brawl for over two hours just to get checked in. Our room was clean but spare. Very plain, very utilitarian and with a lovely view of the concrete wall surrounding the property. The pool was very nice. Absolutely huge with plenty of chairs for everyone. This was especially needed throughout the weekend as the entire island apparently uses this pool! There were loads of people there, most of whom didn’t seem to be staying there. The buffet restaurant was very nice, the food was plentiful and good. There’s another “by reservations only” restaurant on the property. They couldn’t accomodate our first request for a 6pm reservation, but “got us in” at 7. A bit odd, as when we arrived at 6:45 we were the only people there. In fact we were the only ones there the whole evening. Also odd was the fact that, although there were about 6 waiters in the dining room doing nothing, we had to seek one out any time we needed anything and the service was horribly slow."
