Dreams Dominicus La Romana

Hotel staff was so friendly & accommodating. Always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Staff was always smiling & kept positive attitudes...they were always "" excelente"" & made us feel ""excelente"" too! The E-team works very hard on all of their activities. They were very busy all the time & interacted with guests very well. They were all very friendly but had very little involvement with me or my class. The Kappa Club always sent someone at the end of class to help pick up towels & mats...I was responsible for getting mats, towels & waters before class.

TEACHING: The teaching set-up here is fantastic. I taught one 40-minute Yoga/Stretch class at 9:30 am every day on the covered pier surrounded by water on all four sides. Gorgeous! The resort does have mats available, but since the pier tends to get quite windy, I just used towels. The entertainment team here is extremely hands-off, so after meeting me on my first day, no one came to my classes or checked in in any way throughout the whole week (you need to pick up mats/towels for the class and drop them off yourself; I also always brought water bottles from the closest bar). I had 3-7 lovely participants every day. You should know that non-participants are often strolling onto the pier to take pictures and hang out, so it’s not a particularly private or “zen” environment for classes. RESORT PROS & CONS: The beach here is spectacular: walkable in both directions with crystal clear turquoise water (and, at least when I visited, no seaweed at all!). Well-equipped gym with incredible views. Fun nighttime entertainment in open-air areas around the resort every night (although if you need quiet to sleep, this is not your place – they play loud music easily until midnight every night!). Great (affordable!) treatments at the spa, although the facilities are nothing special. Pools are OK. The WiFi here is catastrophically bad and I had to use my cell signal the whole week, which was also very spotty (you absolutely cannot plan to livestream anything or take Zoom calls here!). The food is OK at best, compared to other (20+) resorts I’ve been to with Fit Bodies, and there are not enough dinner restaurants to dine in a different place for a whole week. Service is generally not up to par, again compared to other resorts – I called multiple times to get my towels refreshed and jacuzzi fixed but it never happened; I often didn’t get any service at the buffet for breakfast or lunch; and beverage service at the pools and beach is nearly non-existent. Another thing you should know is that due to the layout of the resort, there are less than 10 rooms out of 400+ that have any kind of ocean view. The rest are looking at pools or courtyards/landscaping, with many on the ground floor (since virtually all of the buildings are two stories max).

Beautiful yoga class location, on the pier. Easy booking experience and plenty of time to relax.

All information is provided very quickly making it an easy booking, thanks! Yoga is on the pier over the water. Beautiful! Everything went smoothly. My husband helped me carry mats and towels, and a member of the Kappa Club usually joined the class and helped return the towels and we returned the mats. They asked the class only be 30 minutes, so I stuck with that from 9:30-10:00. The location on the pier was amazing! Dreams Dominicus was an amazing resort to teach yoga. One 30-minute class at 9:30am on the pier, awesome location! We picked up towels and the mats on our way out to the beach. 5-9 attendees each day, with several returners. The resort is beautiful, relatively narrow, but you can walk along the beach in one direction for quite a way. No seaweed, gentle waves, soft sand with very few rocks, a great setting for beach lovers. Several restaurants to choose and the buffet had a good variety of choices. The guest room was very clean and modern with nice balconies. Definitely a 5 star experience here! Thanks FitBodies!!

My teaching vacation at Dreams Dominicus La Romana was absolutely amazing! Transfer from the airport and check-in were seamless. The resort was beautiful and clean, and my room and balcony were incredibly spacious. All staff were so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The food and spa were spectacular. I taught 1 class at 9:30. The E-Team set up music for me every morning. I was told someone would help me with towels, but no one ever showed up. It was no big deal though. I found out where to get them and my companion helped me. I highly recommend this resort!!!

Nothing but amazing! The E Team Supervisor said someone would meet me at my class time to help me get towels. No one ever did, but I was able to figure it out, and it wasn't a big deal. Best experience I have ever had! Everything went smoothly! Classes went well and I enjoyed myself fully!!!

The entertainment team was truly exceptional and treated us very well, like family. Can’t wait to book again!! Seriously loved my trip more than I expected. Teaching yoga on the beach is amazing! Amstar took us in a personal car, not hard to find and very easy.

It was a very relaxed yoga class. 30 minutes. Between 8 and 30 participants, usually around 10-15 per day. The age varied between 30 years old and 75 years old.

Yoga was scheduled to begin at 9 am each morning. Most of the attendees were from Europe and many don't speak any English. I would simply do a slow practice and they would follow along. I taught a slow flow with a long restorative posture to end the class. The staff was delightful and super helpful.

Wonderful experience- resort is gorgeous. plenty of fruits and vegetables, they are going out of their way to make this top notch.

I visited Dreams Dominicus from Feb 5-12,2017. The resort is very new. The entertainment staff were very friendly. I was able to choose my schedule so I taught Essentrics from 930-1030 but could have taught two 30 minute classes in that time slot. I picked up my mats from the entertainment each morning and after the first 2 days they had my music set up for me- I would remind them each morning. We had a lovely shaded spot by the beach but in clear view so people could see us in. One morning the beach was closed for a photo shoot so I taught in their gym. The gym has an adjacent terrace which is perfect for classes. We enjoyed the food but out favourite spot was the Seaside Grill- no reservations required. We loved that they had a 24 hour cafe too. The resort has construction taking place across the street and to one side but we didn't really notice it. Our room was gorgeous, a beautiful junior suite with tons of space and a private deck. There are lots of different spots around this intimate resort depending on what you want- a relaxing pool, a livelier pool and a party pool near the swim up bar. This was my first teaching vacation and I really enjoyed it. The resort had a mix of ages - families and older couples. Wonderful staff, lovely rooms, really.nice amenities. We would come back.
