The Coral Canoa, and La Romana in general, rises and falls on the resort itself as one may not take many trips on the property and there is no town I saw worth visiting. In summary, this is a 3 star hotel with substantial construction occurring. It is easy to have a great time here, but I have liked other... more

We were on vacation at the Oasis Canoa resort from April7th-14th 08. We’ve be traveling in the Caribbean islands for the past twenty years and we stayed at different hotels from three stars to five stars. This hotel is rated a four stars and we have no problem with this rating. Other that some constructions going on at the resort... more

Sorry this review is a little old, but I'm new to trip advisor! I stayed here in Feb. 2007 with my boyfriend and parents. We booked through selloff vacations for about 1100/person (reading week, so it was pricey) The resort: The resort is pretty big, and very attractive! Everything was very well maintained. There were workers all day cleaning, and... more

We read all the reviews and once we were there, we kept saying, what were all those negative people talking about? We loved this resort. The staff was so friendly..The weather was amazing. We also left our belongings at our chairs while we went in the water with no issues. As a matter of fact, I accidently left my digital... more

We upgraded for $50 USD per day to a penthouse in building 12 and LOVED IT. The room had 3 balconies including a very large 20x10 deck with beach chairs... more

OK - It is a 2 hour bus ride from Santo Domingo, but we knew that. We meet 2 couples on our bus also going to Canoa. We were discussing the bad reviews and hoping all would be fine. I assured them that the last 3 star I stayed at also had bad reviews and I thought it was because... more

We spent week in mid-November '07 through SunWing Vacations. The trip started at postponing the flight by nothing less then 12 hours due to 'undisclosed problems' which seemed just the beginning of pile of misinformations along the way. Upon arrival in the morning we were told that our rooms were given away as we didn't notify the hotel we're running... more

We just returned from 5 night stay at the Coral Canoa (Oasis Canoa). First the positives. Coming as veteran cruisers we expected to be disapointed by the food and were pleasantly surprised. We ate at all the restaurants (no reservations) and enjoyed all but the Mexican. We especially liked the Italian restaurant for the food, presentation and service. An excellent... more

We just returned from a trip at the Coral Canoa Resort. We stayed from October 27 - Nov 3. My expectations were low because of some of the early reviews. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The last review we saw before departing was an excellent presentation of the resort. The staff were friendly and communicated very well although we did... more
