Just got back from the Merengue last week and had a brilliant time. The staff are really nice and always have time to talk to you, they are so friendly - there are loads of Brits there and they have really accommodated for that.

We stayed here in April 2008 for 15 nights and I must say it is good value for money. Some of the more negative reviews I have read I don't think do the hotel justice- at the end of the day you get what you pay for and you do get good value here. I don't think you can compare... more

Having already posted a short review on the Merengue, it's been suggested i should've been more specific, so here goes. The wife and I have been to the Dom Rep 4 times now so I feel we are able to make a comparrison with other hotels. We enjoyed our holiday but that was because we had great weather & met... more
