Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus
|
LA ROMANA
|
|
|
Beautifully set on a sandy beach framing the Caribbean, the Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus claims the same outstanding features which make Iberostars the best of All inclusive Resorts. Crystal Award Winners for 3 years consecutively, the Chain continues to impress Apple travelers and earns the top honor.
Step into this lobby and you'll see why. Life size cattle and horses of sculptured iron, and an authentic wooden sugarcane splicer used to make molasses, lend flavor to Dominican lifestyle. Furnishings in rich deep purple and mint green, tiled floors of lemon and lime mosaic and polished carved tables are part of this hacienda style entrance. You're eyes will pop when you see the three monstrous chandeliers with cherubs, hand tooled from what appears to be 500 pounds of silver for each magnificent piece. It is indeed the amazing creativity from a well known artist, who works with metal from retired airplanes. One of the tidbits of information, you won't commonly recognize on your own.
Lagoons with fountains deliver soothing sounds in harmony with a sensational visual of flourishing gardens, bursting with blooms. Villa style blocks of rooms surround one of three swimming pools.
Dining is always rated highly by Apple clients with any Iberostar Resort The Hacienda Dominicus offers five restaurants, three specialty restaurants with Japanese, Mexican and a Steakhouse, a casual palapa restaurant, plus a buffet restaurant with a huge selection of fresh foods and 'show cooking.' The decor in 'El Ingenio' will make your mouth drop open. Green mosaic tiles in every shade on walls, and Latino accents with color and pizzazz could almost distract one from the sumptuous buffet, but not quite!
Accommodations: Attractively appointed rooms in two and three story blocks (with elevators) have two double (looked like 3/4 beds) or one king bed, in-room safe (fee) , mini-bar with water, beer, soft drinks, ceiling fan, Satellite TV, some bathrooms have shower only, others with tub and shower, hairdryers, balcony or patio. 498 air-conditioned rooms.

Sunscape Casa del Mar
|
LA ROMANA
|
|
Silk white beaches, like a flowing carpet, cover miles of pristine shoreline with thousands of feathery coconuts soaring to a sky of mixed blues. Vibrant turquoise water shimmers with sunbeams, and is sheltered by a natural coral reef, creating the illusion that the Caribbean is a gigantic swimming pool. The Resort traces the beach and Sea, in horizontal placement, through vast acres of manicured lawns, with low-rise buildings in Dominican style architecture. A lagoon size pool with a large shell shaped Jacuzzi is ideally located near restaurants and 10 steps to the beach.
The Sunscape is filled with unexpected dimensions, especially with the Metamorphosis Spa, a three-part journey, none of it to be missed. The Center looks like a stone ruin in an archeological site, with all the latest and most advanced treatments in a welcoming enclosure. There are even Massage Suites for couples and families, with private sauna, steam, shower and Jacuzzi. Outside is a Spa Garden with a bubbling thermal bath in the rocks under a palapa covered juice bar. Herbs and spices sprout around ponds, with Arabian like tents for massages.
However the most magical experience lies in the heart of the jungle, at the Eco Spa. A trail cuts through natural foliage of an untamed tropical wilderness, overlooking a natural clear water spring, with embankments of mangroves and lush trees and plants with extending vines. Flowers of ginger and bird of paradise grown amongst orchids. Wooden platforms over the water have thatched open-air huts, and are spaced well apart. You can lie still with the sounds of birds and the serenity of nature around you, as you receive a massage.
