The Gran Ventana Beach Resort offers a great holiday full of sun, sea and sand; benefitting from a great location right by the beach, the sea is within easy reach, making this fantastic for those seeking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Guests here can recline on the wonderfully soft sands and listen to the waves gently lapping the shore whilst making the most of the Caribbean climate. The Gran Ventana Beach Resort's amazing location is augmented by the spacious complex, complete with stylish low-level blocks flanked by greenery and majestic coconut palms.
Guests here can choose from two swimming pools, and the raffia-thatched swim-up bar makes the perfect place to savour a fruity cocktail. The cuisine is another fabulous reason to come here, with seven restaurants to choose from ensuring that all tastes are catered for. Holidaymakers can order whatever they fancy, whether waffles for breakfast, or a specially made-to-order omlette. The Ocean Grill offers a great selection of fresh fish, whilst the dishes on offer at the a la carte Italian restaurant are delicious, and the buffet will leave all feeling well-fed. With its fabulous cuisine, top location and lovely accommodation, this is a great place to stay.

Holiday Review
This was our first time all inclusive and in the Caribbean and we were not disappointed! Gran Ventana Beach Resort is a must. The resort is very clean and the food is out of this world. The nightly entertainment is the only downfall but the staff work very hard (the same staff do the day entertainment also)and you have to remember they are not professionals but they do their utmost. The professional entertainment they book is not brilliant but i think they book what is available on the Island. The trips that are available via your tour operator are somewhat expensive but the Dolphin Swim is brilliant! Should you decide to do the Bravissimo Trip do not include the meal, the food is very nice but not worth the extra cost. The beach located directly outside Gran Ventana is lovely and even though you will encounter the Lucky Lucky guys they are not unbearable (the manicure is well worth trying though) if you are looking for your first Carribean holiday look no further than the Gran Ventana but be prepared to gain lots of weight!

My wife , granddaughter and me , have just come back from The Gran Ventana, the hotel is first class .Its a very comfortable,clean and friendly hotel. service is wonderful and food in the buffet restaurant is very ,very good. there are 3 al acarte restaurants and guests on a/inc can go to each of these once a week (6x over a fortnight period ) . The outdoor area's are large ,with plenty of sun loungers and are kept spotless , all pool areas and there own beach area is raked early each day(approx. 6am) The rooms are good too with basic mini- bar topped up every other day (4 xbeers and large container of water) I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

We went to Gran Ventana in August and it was fantastic, the whole place is lovely and is certainly one of my best holiday places, the people are most helpful and genuine. We loved this place so much that on our return we booked to go again in Jan 08 and take my mum for her 80th birthday. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a relaxing holiday and enjoy eating as the food is second to none!
