My friend and I have just returned from our vacation, we stayed at the Casa Marina Beach part of the Resort. We were both skeptical due to the "bad" reviews we both had read. I beg to differ with those comments, the Staff were all extremely pleasant and friendly and helpful. There was a great selection of places to eat, and plenty of food choices. The drinks were plentiful too! The grounds are gorgeous and very relaxing. The rooms are just fine, and both the air conditioning and the TV worked perfectly well. I have to assume that the poor reviews were written by people who expected a four or five star experience from a 3 star resort - quite unfair in my opinion. Usually you get what you pay for, but I have to say that in this case we got more than we paid for!!! And I would definately return for another stay.

Hi just got back from this great place i do have lots to moan about cuz ,no one told me and my family and friends that we would put lots of weight on from the great food available at all times ,this holidays has got to be the best iv been on great people locals and staff ,if you go you must do the mega trucks trip and ocean world theses are well worth the money and a great day out we met some nice people there who are still there jammy devils i will be adding photos so if you where there between april 11 and 26 keep looking you may find yourselves on here ,missing you all pepi and the gang x o yes and dont be fooled by the bad weather haha if its dull or raining still put your sun creams on cuz you will burn

stayed at the casa marina reef from 9/4/08 for 2 weeks. I was going to cancel/change this holiday after reading some of the other reviews on this site. However Im glad I didnt as it was no where near as bad as people made out, some areas needed upgrading but nothing urgent.

ROOMS - basic and it was here that needed modernising, we were on the reef side and i believe that these rooms were nicer than the beach side as i heard quite a few complaints about their rooms.

GROUNDS- very well kept, sometimes a bit dark at night though not very well lit in places

BEACH- sea very rough apart from two days, red flag out most of the time.


FOOD- quite good for the number of people they cater for, lots of vaiety, speciality food areas good but need to book well in advance,

STAFF- rude most of them, cleaners, maids bar staff okay, reception staff restraunt staff miserable

POOLS - three pools, one with all activity (and very LOUD americans) and two quieter pools

TRIPS- monster truck safari, enjoyed this day, Saona Island trip quite expensive, quite tiring, full of drunken germans on the boat on the way back and return flight Terrifying!!!!!!

DOWN SIDE- let locals in at weekend, dont mind this but they do take over the pool, restraunt and they are all very loud!!!
Also the local PROSTITUTES are allowed in with the men (english german and american) that have paid for them!!!!!

will visit somewhere else next year but may return to this hotel in the future.
