The room has everything you will need and it faces the ocean. Wake up to the sound of waves and palm trees ruffling. The resort has a big pool with activities every day. You have acess to all the resort facilities except for the food and drinks which was a blessing in the end. Lets be honest, hotel food sucks, and because it's all-enclusive you tend to overeat. Get out and taste the local cuisines. I recommed a place called El Manguito which is just outside the main gate, ask for the mangu, it's a very local side dish. There's another couple of places just a small walk up the beach in the town of El Pueblito. The restaurants on the beach there are good but walk into the town to the end and take a right and you'll see a place called Fefa where the locals eat. The resort also has two restaurants that have a cash menu. We also ate in. Jerald has a small kitchen area very well equipt. There are two local big supermarkets, Jumbo and La Sirena which has a food court type area on the second floor. They both sell booze. The hotel gives you all the ice you need. Our whole stay was perfect in every way except for the taxi situation by the hotel. Taxis are the only one allowed to pick up tourist and will try to over charge you. The way we overcame this was to walk to the main entrance, a 10-15 minute walk, or to the Pueblito and used Uber, which is very cheap so we always tipped. Uber is allowed to drop you off at the hotel lobby just not allowed to do pick ups there. We will return again. Thanks Jerald. ##### Julio S. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2020 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin W. 22 Apr 2017 #### On the Beach Location, Location, Location, if you want on the beach this is for you, only thing closer are the sun chairs. Great beach with excellent sand, plenty of room, chairs, and very safe. You could not wish for a nicer location, with at least a mile of sand beach in both directions. The accommodations and resort are as described in the homeaway posting, and the resort web page grandparadiseplayadorada The unit owner, Jerald, was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to questions we asked prior to booking, and emailed after our arrival to see if we had questions. Having access to his internet was outstanding, and he provided an on-site contact who assisted in coordinating everything, including a rental car (cheaper than advertised rates on rental sites). There is little to no activity on the beach after dark, this makes for easy sleeping, no excessive noise. we went for the beach and to tour, so we did not spend a lot of time on resort activities, but everyone we met was always smiling and welcoming. Great value, you are not likely to find a better value than this for an on beach location. Thank you. Martin & Elizabeth ##### Martin W. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2017 ---
