Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Puerto Plata

Beautiful resort. Food is better than many resorts in the surrounding area. The swim out pool in my back patio was a nice touch. Will book again in the future

It was my first time there. The receptionist at the front desk (Karen) was very kind upon check in. The Japanese restaurant was awesome. We celebrated my mom’s birthday there and the cake and champagne package were great! Also the swim up room for my parents was beautiful! Great place!

Service was excellent, food was adequate, room accommodations were great for swim up

The resort was good had a swim up room , went to 2 of the 3 restaurants the steak house and Italian Restaurant. The Italian red restaurant could use some help with there food.. Other then that the staff was Great

The staff was great, the food and restaurants wee delicious! The rooms were clean and we had a great time at the pool parties and with the activities by the pool

Villa Dona Kika is a beautiful home. The pictures are very accurate, but in person it is even nicer. Everything was very clean, no bugs, no dust. If you like to cook both kitchens and bbq are very well equipped with all the utensils you need, just buy food. The beds are comfortable not worn in. The pool was clean and not over chlorinated. There is a full bathroom with a washer and dryer outside in the pool house as well as an outdoor shower. It is close enough to the beach and restaurants that you could walk. The owners of this property take very good care of it. I felt as though I was in my own home with my family. My family travels from the States twice a year to visit relatives in DR and absolutely will be back!! We highly recommend renting this beautiful Villa.

Beautiful villa and surrounding property. Wet bar by the pool for added convenience. 3 full bathrooms

The apartment was beautiful, and the owner clearly thought of everything when preparing it for rent. It had washers and dryers, towels for the pool, towels for use inside the apartment, and even beach chairs (though we didn’t use them, as the beach in front of the apartment isn’t ideal for swimming—maybe just for relaxing and enjoying the breeze). The owner responded to my messages very quickly, making our stay very pleasant.The small pool was lovely and open until late, perfect after a long day of sightseeing. The restaurant in front of the apartment, La Lola, is 100% recommended.

Interior is beautiful and the place is very comfortable and modern

The property is clean and beautiful. The staff is super friendly and helpful, but if you know Spanish it helps even more for smoother communication. I wish we could stay for longer. The villa was big and had washer, dryer and other utensils. They also have a private pool, would definitely recommend this place to more people. It’s also convenient to go to many places from here. Only one thing was - wish they had more restaurants and included breakfast in the package. Overall it was great!

Beautiful location, amazing pool and service. Nice rooms with strong wi fi, good A/C, and comfortable beds. Very secluded and safe near a beautiful beach. Great restaurants nearby and close enough to downtown Puerto Plata and its tourist attractions, reachable by Uber and taxi. Also not too far from the airport.

A beautiful, safe, and spotless resort with outstanding staff. We stayed in a villa, which was absolutely perfect. Parking was seamless. The pool on the property was lovely, and the beach club was exceptional. They even provide a complimentary shuttle, but it’s an easy 10-minute walk if you prefer.

Our stay in Xeliter Green one was pleasant. There are a couple things that could use improvement. First, there was no clear indication on where to eat so we ordered out and it took over an hour to get the food. It would have been helpful to have a list of places to eat within walking distance so we knew there was no need to order out. Also, we weren’t given enough garbage bags so we ended up having to stack garbage on the counter which was obnoxious. Last, Wi-Fi was only usable in the villa, which proved to be inconvenient when we had to communicate with the food delivery to find each other. We had to keep running back inside. Other than those minor issues, the stay was good! The views of the mountains are gorgeous, the pool is huge and was mainly unoccupied. The beach was breathtaking. I would visit again, especially since I’m familiar with what to expect.

Property condition is excellent but in this particular one sun tocuh in front and felleing was hot even with air conditioning. A perma (exterior blackout) curtain is needed. Also, many furniture inside the studio and balcony. Not easy to walk and move inside. Coffee maker not working... Service from Xeliter staff was great (Esther and Felicita specially). Pool area and beach excellent...clean and quiet...

Tania was very professional and good at communicating. The place was wonderful it has everything you would want in a room and I can’t wait to stay here coming back to sosua

We went to relax and we booked a premium room with a beach view our room was modern and had a beautiful view we love the beach and enjoyed every moment we spent there the resort is lovely and very well kept the food options were also very good, we tried the Mexican and Italian and really enjoyed the Mexican food Near the pool there was a snack bar which was also very good and close to our rooms the pool was huge there were lots of kids in the pool which made it splashy and busy we felt like the water was cloudy compared to other resorts we have been to but we preferred the Ocean anyways There were lots of places to sit and relax everywhere and there were plenty of opportunities to share good times with the ones you love Overall the stay was great and i would rate it excellent Thank You for the hospitality

If you're planning on visiting this resort...Go for it! I just came back from a solo vacation on 04/25/25 and regret nothing. As a solo traveler, I was a bit scared to be alone. This was my first time out of the states solo so of course, I had some concerns. Once I arrived the staff made me feel 100% comfortable. Leo, was some I spoke with prior to arriving and he assisted with getting my transportation setup from arrival and departure. He set up my excursion and was extremely informative with all my questions and concerns. The pools are cleaned. and it does close at 7 but it's to service and clean the pools. I swim bars are cleaned. The beach is beautiful and kept well cleaned. But keep in mind you will find people coming up to you to try to sell you things. Food options: I read through the reviews and seen many advise to try the Japanese restaurant. They were 100% correct. The food was delicious and the staff was very attentive to everyone. The buffets are good and clean. I recommend getting omelets made for breakfast, it's delicious. The desserts and fruits are for sure delicious as well. The Mexican restaurant was not that good. But it's expected considering it's DR. With all that said, I recommend coming here. Solo traveler or not, you will have a good time.

The resort is very nice the beach is very clean, they work on the beach all day removing glasses and straightening lounge chairs and seaweed from the shore. Love the attractions on the beach they cook, many games that the staff gets everyone involved. My only issue with the beach area the only towel hut is by the pool which is a distance from the beach. The pool area is also kept clean and the entertainment and music is fun as well. The bar staff of very attentive. As for the night entertainment it’s not much but a good place to get to know the other guest at the resort

Lovely experience for a group of 8 adults and 6 kids. From the kids perspective, the pool was nice with plenty of space and pool chairs for everyone. Plus the snack bar and drinks.

Pool and beach was amazing pool bartender was great

Stunning architecture and beautiful lobby/front desk area. Clean and gorgeous rooms with lots of space sand gorgeous view. The staff is super friendly and very professional, all very pleasant and helpful. The spa is very well equipped and nice. The pool is for relaxing, not more than 4ft infinity style, the lounge area by the pool is soooo cute and there’s hot tubs with spectacular views! The hotel surroundings are simply breathtaking full of tropical greenery. The beach was y believe calm and warm. The breakfast/lunch restaurant very accommodating and the food is superb. The staff there is also great. The only thing my husband and I did not appreciate was the outrageously expensive menu at Lucia, the dinner restaurant. We had bottled water, one glass of wine, one salad, one shared appetizer and two fish dinners and the bill was nearly $260 without tip. Without a bottle of wine, even in the US, that was a bit much! After the experience, we decided to drive around for dinner restaurants and found try gems. Casa Colonial is overall a hotel everyone needs to experience when in Puerto Plata!

This was a lovely place, excellent staff and beautiful grounds! Clean beach. The beaches nearby were not as clean. The food was delicious but it was the same choices everyday, however there were plenty to choose from. The beach is very close so you can hear the waves. The drinks are delicious. The massage was amazing. Everyone is very kind and cordial. It’s quiet and peaceful. The only complaint was that the pool and hot tubs were under construction and we didn’t know this. They emailed us to tell us but it went to our spam so we never knew. There’s nothing on the website about this. We were highly disappointed about not having a pool or hot tub! With those are in working order, we would give 5 stars.

I have hesitated to write a review only because I don’t want this place to get ruined by hoards of people going there 😂. What a gem! I hadn’t been back to the Puerto Plata area in ages. We have been to many 5 star hotels in Punta Cana and this one has nothing to envy from those. The place is as beautiful as the pictures if not more. Service is 10/10. The food is AMAZING, literally not one bad or bland meal. The staff is genuinely friendly and attentive but never hovering over you- they let you be. We are actually returning to celebrate our birthdays there (my daughter and I). The only thing I will say is that this place is definitely for relaxing, I think we were the noisy ones there. It’d be nice if they had some type of entertainment at least on the weekends for people who want a more lively atmosphere, for me the pianist in the lobby during Sat night dinner was perfect- (great tunes!), but I know other people would maybe want something more interactive. The place is immaculate, super clean. Keep doing what you’re doing Casa Colonial and from the bottom of our hearts, a huge thank you to the entire staff- Odalis, Victoria (breakfast/pool), Luz from the bar, Lissette from concierge, Rafael, Nelson and all the waiters, Yeniz and all the cleaning ladies.

Beautiful property, well-maintained suites, meticulously maintained grounds, awesome staff at every turn, whether it was housekeeping, restaurant staff, front desk, bell hop, or anyone else you ran into on the grounds. Wide variety of food, which was also tasty, with the freshest vegetables and fruits. Never had to wait for a table and room service was always prompt. Surprisingly inexpensive for the quality. Pool and beach were never crowded and always someone to get you a towel, food or drink. It was the most relaxing and restful vacation we’ve taken. Shout out to all of the ladies who made sure our suite was clean and stocked every morning and every night. We always had an abundance of towels, washcloths and bottled water, and the rooms always smelled fresh and clean. And special shoutout to Felix who drove us around whenever we needed.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Casa Colonial. The property is exquisite. The setting is tranquil and serene. The staff make you feel like family from check in to bartenders to waitstaff to cleaning staff. So accommodating and friendly, all of them. Several staff found out our daughter was taking high school Spanish and went out of their way to teach her words, phrases, and even quiz her from time to time. The rooms are large with a first class decor. The infinity pool, and 4 built in hot tubs were amazing as was the food and drink. The beach front scenery was breathtaking and the grounds are gorgeous and immaculate. What a great time. Thanks to all of the staff who made our stay so special, relaxing and memorable. We can’t wait to come back.

Any unit close to 3 swimming pools. Fantastic swim up pool bar with huge sparkling clean pool. Excellent sturdy loungers poolside. Dining chairs comfortable. Beautiful green landscaping.

Second time at this resort ! Really enjoy that it is small and get to know staff and other travellers ! Some things could be updated , but I am not concerned about how fancy it is. Here for the swim up bar and beach. Lots of food to choose from and great service

I really enjoyed the animation team & the beach is beautiful. The people who really stood out to us were Lisselotte, Lisbet, Alfredo. The kitchen staff were great didn’t catch their names, but very nice. The swim up bar Diogenes was great & Ricardo by the beach too!

The resort is getting older, however it is kept up and clean. The staff in all departments is very pleasant to deal with. The animation crew is the main reason I keep coming back,( been going there since 2013) There is 3 pools to choose from, 1 has a swim up bar, one has a volleyball net and the other is a smaller (no alcohol allowed) back next to the weight room and has a couple flavors of juice, as well as coffee. The beach is tidy and clean and serves food 24 hrs. 7 days a week.

This is my favorite resort! It's my third time staying here. The staff are simply wonderful, Manolo, junior great and sol is great. The property is beautiful.. I like the rooms they were nice and cool. I always love their shows and their buffet which is on point . I enjoy the Chinese food restaurant and the seafood part or day of the restaurant.. I like the fact that the waiters are on point and very intentive. It was just one day that the Wi-Fi didn't work but luckily you got resolved the next day in the afternoon. The drinks were okay.. the resort have a great welcoming as well with a drink. Me being there few times and recognizing some of the workers it was like seeing old family lol.. I really enjoyed the pools and the pool bar. Only have one complaint which is the gym. The gym equipment there is very dated and it needs to be new equipment because only the treadmill worked.. it will be great if it closed at 9:00 instead of 8:00pm. I'll be back soon everything is definitely four out of five stars

Costambar was easily the best hotel I was in on the entire island! It is in a cash only part of Puerto Plata. The room was exceptionally clean, has cheap drinking water 5 gallon bottles and pumps for your use, the balcony was great, the air conditioning and ceiling fans were perfect, the pool was clear and pleasant, staff were all friendly and it was 24 hour manned security even with the neighborhood already being safe. Uber works here, but many drivers will try to scam for extra money so tell them Uber app pay only and report them in the app. The restaurants are amazing along the beach and way cheaper than in Puerto Plata, the tide is gentile and perfect for swimming, beach chair service under palm shade is great too. I usually like to pay at the hotel, but I am so happy I took the chance on Costambar as it was affordable and after a couple day trips visiting Puerto Plata always found Costambar the perfect more quiet escape from the main busy tourist city. If I ever return to the DR, this is the 1 area and hotel I will for sure return to!

This is my second time staying at Costambar, the reason is because I love the way it is. Super easy check in, pool always clean and the beach is right in front of the property. The only issue was they are remodeling the furnitures and the old ones are still inside the apartment and over the stairs. Please remove them as soon as possible, Me and my wife love to stay there and definitely coming back.

Relax apt hotel in a secure gated area . Where your kids can run around . 50 meters from the beach, with local restaurants. Spacious apt with balcony. Good air conditioning, hot water. Clean pool to cool off.

The pool was clean and not cold. The room was was just perfect. If we stayed longer we would have cooked too.

The absolutely amazing beach is just 50 m away.Nice local food.Swimming pool.Friendly staff

The superior rooms are really nice. The pool area is amazing, very big and suitable for kids. Shallow entrance intonthe pool. At night the pool is lighted up ....and looking amazing.

Nice lobby architecture seen from Pool área, suggesrive of Taíno culture. Large beautiful clear Pool with various sections and central fountains. Excellent and plentiful food in buffet, varied themes nightly, with three a la carte restaurants. Pleasant and helpful staff. Sadly ocean was too rough for swimming-first time in 30 years of visitong POP.

Marien is very nice and welcoming. The VIP staff was very helpful and nice. All the staff in the VIP area by the buffet are very helpful and always there for your convenience. The pool is amazing, clean and very nice for little kids and adults. The shows are always very entertaining. And there is a lot of night entertainment after the show, disco, casino nearby. Lots of dining options to choose from. Our rooms were superior VIP. Very satisfied. Very nice clean Resort.

One of the most amazing and easy going experiences you could have here and with the amazing staff, they go outta their way to make sure your comfortable, taken care of, fed and having a good time. Staff Member Bombon accommodates the games and events for everyone at the pool side with a big heart and smile! Amazing people here.

Beautiful resort with a great pool. Buffet selections are good; there’s always something to eat. Customer service is amazing here. Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful. Entertainment team here is what makes you keep coming back. Mosquito, Roberto, Jesus, Alan, Felix, Hanly, Franklin, Perla, Merylis, Luna, Anton, Wally, Ricky. Thank you for a great time!

Very comfortable, the staff is very nice and helpful. They have a variety of choices for activities, several choices of dinner, several pools you can choose from and the amenities are in great condition.

Food was great! Lots of great pools. Grounds were luscious and beautifully well kept. Very large resort.

From the moment we arrived, the resort exceeded all of our expectations. The grounds were beautifully maintained, the staff was warm and attentive, and every detail reflected a deep commitment to guest satisfaction. What truly touched us, however, was the incredible effort the team made to decorate for my husband’s birthday. It was a complete surprise to both of us—I was as overwhelmed and delighted as he was. Their thoughtful gesture made our stay not just memorable, but truly special. We are so grateful for the unforgettable experience.

I enjoy everything about this resort. That is why I have been there 8 times.

The facility was superb. Super friendly staff. The food was either really good or not. Drinks great and the staff once again top notch.

It is a good little hotel for the money. Sort of a transient hotel. I good place to stay in between main accomotions or return home. Very inexpensive, breakfast included. Rooms are small, but clean and decent bathrooms.

The couple that run it. Are so damn nice. Hostal is super clean. Really clean.loved talking to them. They helped me with a situtation

Was a great time. The place is is Peaceful and the owners are very special persons friendly and kind.

Thank you for everything. The place was family-friendly, thank you very much, Angel and Alex great host!

People on diry 24 hours, clean, nice bathroom! Area is safe, restaurants near by, excellent location A/C

Great location and chill hotel. Breakfast is included and is good. There were few people staying here, which meant we got the pool practically to ourselves and the beach cabanas and chairs were great too. The restaurant is ideal for dinner and there are other options up and down the beach as well. I would definitely stay here again. Golfers would especially like this place because it is right along the green around hiles 7 and 8, I believe.

The staff are very friendly and helpful! This hotel is older so one should expect to find an older pool, older sliding doors and bath tubs etc. I was not planning to need to spend the night in Puerto Plata but I am definitely thinking about planning a trip back to stay here again!

We only spent one night. But planning to return again. Place was so clean, dinner and breakfast delicious. The gentleman named Carlos was very nice and the pool lady Francheska was very diligent wth us.

We loved the friendly and helpful staff -- ftom the front desk, to the maintenance staff, to the servers at thr restaurants. We also enjoyed the beautiful pool and easy access to the gorgeous beach.

Love the staff, super nice, accommodating and best staff. Love fhe property, food, drinks, beach and pool! Would love to stay there again!

The live shows were good and the food at the different restaurant and services was pleasant. I am a water man so i enjoyed the pools. If you are planning to do some laps its best to go to the private pool on the other side of the resort. Its near the Italian restaurant. I really enjoyed the gym equipment. The water temperature in the oceans and pool was about 80 degree it felt so remarkable

Room was nice clean' The beach was very clean and had chairs. Pool was a a lot of fun. Like the Night show. Staff was very nice and helpful.

The beautifulness of the location, the enchantment of the environment, the friendly courteous and professional staff, the many pools,

The food here was phenomenal compared to other resorts we stayed at. On top the staff made me feel like at home super friendly they cared about us and overall I would love to come back again.

Excelente servicio 10/10 Excellent service

2nd time staying at the resort! Quiet and comfortable! Staff is great food is good! Francisco at the private pool is great! Luis at the private bar is also great! Everyone at the hotel is very friendly! Domingo and staff at the beach bar are great!

This resort is good, but I didn't like the pool the water was like ice, not many people enjoy the pool is terrible, the food was delicious, the staff very good,

The place is quiet and relaxing. The food is good. In the pool area the staff offers entertainment, especially in the afternoons. It is close to La Plaza, a small shopping center where one can get almost anything.

I love the property is pretty quiet and pacific. This place is perfect for someone that is looking to relax and get rest. The infinity pool is amazing and they offer diversity in international plates.

The place was beautiful, the infinity pool looking over the golf club is amazing. The staff were always friendly and accomodating, plus the food was really good.

Property was nice, people and staff were friendly. Beach and pool were clean. I especially liked the swim up bar lol. Entertainment at night was small but good. I could see the dancing and karaoke from my balcony, which was nice after a long day in the sun. Decent food selection.

In my opinion, one of the best hotels in the Puerto Plata area. It is well maintained and cared for, kept clean, beautiful and well designed, lots of comfortable areas to hang out, the rooms have good sound proofing, love the balconies, rooms have enough space for clothes, hangers included. Lots of hot water for showers, rooms have a small fridge and a safe. Nice newer tv's with a variety of channels, a few English. The main pools area is spacious and beautiful, and there is a quieter pool in the adjacent building. The inclusive menu is varied with a good variety of meat, fish, veg, local fruits, a pasta and pizza station, and lots of tasty desserts. The beach area is nice, with a few snorkel spots with some beautiful fish. The property is right next to a professionally designed golf course, a plaza with some nice stores, and an interesting bar where one can watch hockey games in the evening. I love the staff at GV. They are all very, friendly and helpful. Muchas gracias!

Room was ready when we arrived a few minutes early. Pool was clean and people are very friendly. My 11 year old had a great time.

The property was very nice, easy access to pool and beach. Food was very good and room was clean. Had a great stay

This place can be a hit or miss. My fiancé and I at first didn’t like it but later on started to appreciate the things the place offered. This can easily be a 5 star place if they fixed up a few minor problems. For some reason, they didn’t have our reservation. We had to wait over a hour for our room once they found our reservation. Second, they have this weird system where they take all your towels in the morning but don’t replace it with new ones. So essentially, you can be enjoying breakfast and if you decide to take a shower afterwards, you will have to wait for the fresh towels to be dropped off to your room. Third thing, they don’t give daily water bottles and you will have to practically beg them for a water bottle on a daily basis. Luckily, they do have some water dispensary on some floors for refills. Fourth thing, the WiFi truly sucks in this place. Connection is slow and probably one of the things I hated the most from this place. Lastly, the vibe from the staff needs to be worked on. Some are very nice to talk to, but most of them looked like they don’t like working there. Some are rude and disrespectful, but not all staff. The two pools itself is very nice. A quiet one and the main one. The beach is gorgeous but that says more about Mother Nature. My favorite part is the food. The food was the absolute best thing from the resort. A lot of variety and freshly made every day. Entertainment for me was 50/50 but that is more of a personal opinion. My honest review.
