hi we have booked to go to this hotel in august, we have`nt been here before but my brother and his girlfriend went in 07 and had a great time they dont have kids but said there was loads there and always things going on! we do have kids 16,11 and 3 so entertainment for the kids was really important to us and the price of course i think we got a really good deal cheaper than going all inclusive to spain in the summer hols and we wont have the euro so our spending money should go further too! by the sounds of this complex if you expect to have a swanky room then do go the rooms sound like they need redoing but if you dont mind that then everything else sounds great we thought that we hopefully ont be spending too much time in our rooms so hope it wont bother us so i think if that puts your mind at ease then get booking we are really looking forward to our holiday just hoping the little one will be ok on the 9 hour flight but im sure itll be worth it when we get there

I'm just about to take my 7th trip out to the DR as I love the country. I stayed at the Casa Marina in oct '05 and may '06 and its a great hotel. The food was excellent in my opinion, plenty of choice for everyone and the rooms were really nice basically had all you need.
The pools and grounds are really well kept and clean and it has 2 private beaches and 3 jacuzzis.....sunbathe by the jacuzzis as there is a lovely breeze coming up from the sea and you'll get a lovely tan....
I stay in Cabarete usually which is a great town about 20 minutes away. Take a taxi there for the day your kids would love it watching the kiteboarders on cabarete beach.
I'll be in Cabarete this wednesday for 3 weeks and cant wait to get back. I'd definately stay at the Casa Marina again without a doubt and as I travel there alone it also works out cheaper for me than travelling anywhere in Europe.

We stayed at the Casa Marina in 03 and its a very good value for money hotel. The food was good as was the location.
I would agree about Cabarete its well worth a visit.

Hi we stayed here june 07. Had a fantastic time. Our son is autistic so we were very nervous about going to a big busy resort but it worked out great. Staff were very friendly and understanding. The entertainment, especially at night, was superb. The resort was very clean and food amazing. At breakfast you can get omelettes cooked at a queue up skillett where you chose your own ingredients and these were heavenly.

Hi
Was it really 2004 when we stayed at Casa Marina Reef?
Time may fly but good memories last forever.
The "Hot Tubs" above the beach were fantastic great to relax.
I took the early morning cycle ride no breakes no gears but soon knew my way around town. You just go out the main gate turn right and walk into town no need for taxi etc.
When we stayed the evening shows were fun, the food good and don't forget there are 2 hotels on the same site.
Go enjoy a real Dominican town, friendly hotel, big pool try a Monster truck treat and visit The Rum Factory
Enjoy a real holiday

hi i got married at the casa marina 10 years ago and would love to go back, we went in october and just missed a hurricane which struck 2 weeks before we went.obviously had a wonderful time, there was no proper childrens entertainment them. just a hotel staff trying there best, but the shows in the ampithetre were good, although things have proberly changed by now. staff very friendly and helpful, thompson rep/wedding co-ordinator was brilliant we felt so relaxed and it was quite funny having people in bikinis watching you get married. food was fab, as i remember you had to pre book tables but that may of been as there was 7 of us. great time had by all, and would recommend it for weddings.
