Second time to the Dominican, first stay really nice (Coral Marien by Hilton) so needless to say was spoilt by the excellence of that hotel last year. On arrival to the Flamenco the room was dirty, bathroom filthy, staff very unhelpful and the Thomas Cook rep completely rubbish. Food was nice, plenty of variety for everyone although it did get...

We had a connecting flight there which was due to leave at 11:05... More

Dec 30th to Jan 11th 05. We transferred to this hotel from the awful punta Goleta in caberete, and well glad we did. This hotel is superb. The staff are the friendliest I have experienced.
