Just got back from a one week vacation at Holiday Village Golden. We had a good time. We stayed at the Royal Suites which was nice and definitely worth the upgrade. I really don't think I would have liked it if I had stayed in the regular part of the resort, too may kids. The one thing I was so disappointed with was the food at the buffet. It was horrible! I have stayed at this resort twice before when it was a Jack Tar Village and the food was great. But, it was really bad this time. The specialty restaurants are good. Especially the Japanese One. Overall it was good. Ino at the pool bar is great, and Wilson at the Aquanox Lounge was great too! Most of the staff is very friendly. Met some nice people. What time is it Allison? Stupid o'clock?

we stayed here from the 12 to the 26 may we all had a fantastic time. There was 11 of us as we got married out there. We were a bit worried from the earlyer reviews but soon found out we had nothing to worry about the place is great . The rooms are a bit dark but if you put all the lights on its ok . I would say this is a 3star pushing a 4 star. Its clean and tidy never seen any litter. The maids cleaned changed towels bedding and restocked the fridge every day. The buffet was realy good lots of choice and always fresh.None of us got sick. The italians was good had our wedding reception there staff could not do enough for us. The wedding was fantastic sophie the wedding coordanator done a real good job The flowers were beautiful the hole day was just amazing The only thing that upset us was the guy in the photo shop were you get your wedding photos from You get 14 free with you wedding package if you want more you have to buy a package the cheapest is $390. We bought this package and asked for the rest to be put on to disc. He changed his price 3 times adding more on each time he is so greedy dick terrpin without the mask. He is english and charges exreme amounts to put your photos on to disc We spoke to the reps about his prices and they made him drop his price by almost $500. The place is lovely beach is fantastic people are realy friendly staff could not do enough they work so hard for very little pay. At times i felt ashamed to be english as some of the other english staying there were very rude and ignorant towards the staff swearing ond shouting at them. A little politness and respect would not hurt. We did some trips ocean world swim with the dolphins they are so cheeky had a fantastic day . The best trip for me was paradise island wow amazing place the boat ride the speed boat just an all round great trip for everyone. The orange market is an experience not to miss you can barter with them and get a good price . Delboy at no 37 is a good one for dropping his prices. If you go see him. The entertainment is a bit hit and miss some good shows and some not so good. The kids are well entertained lots for them to do. All in all we had a great holiday and would go back in a flash can not find fault amazing place .

just a quick review until i get more time, we stoped at hvgb 12 may til 26 may there was a party of 11 as we were to get married out there. after reading the reveiws we did not know what to expect when we got out there, we booked 4 rooms one of the rooms the air con did not work but the hotel had 4 guys there in minutes and had it fixed, that as the only snag we had on the whole holiday the only thing that spoiled the holiday was the english or some of them (no i am not canadian iam english) some of them were rude, insulting and went on like a bunch of total idiots at times we were ashamed to call ourselves british. the firstchoice staff and the hotel staff were amazing.the dominican staff are so nice and will do anything to help you as long as you treat them with a bit of respect its not to much to ask is it. all in all the holiday was fantastic the wedding was out of this world and i would recomend holiday village to any one

We stayed here Week of May 18th. The resort is advertised as a family friendly/child friendly resort. And generally it is... BUT unfortunately they allow smoking pretty much everywhere on the resort including the restaurants. So if you or your child has any breathing difficulties, this is NOT the place to go, because you can be sitting in any of the restaurants and odds are that someone next to you would be puffing away. As previous reviewers have said, accommodations are not the greatest; we also had little ants marching around in our room. Otherwise staff is great, and if you don't have a problem with the smoking bit and you have a child, a good place to go.
