InterContinental V Centenario Santo Domingo, Santo Domingo

i stay at this hotel with our group march '06 and I can tell you the service here is the worst I have seen. The staff is very unfriendly and they all seem to have a major attitude problem. Go to another hotel.

Place is ok if you want something cheap. Service was not great and rooms are old and worn. I stay at the Brand new Hilton now..more expensive but well worth the extra dollars. Great service and NEW rooms

I have stayed at the Intercontinental more than once. The staff was generally kind, and tried to be helpful, but the hotel just needs an overhaul in rooms (dingy, musty, not well-lit, old) and upgrading in service (15 minute check-ins). The bed clothes smell like mold and I feel like I have to work much too hard to get anything the way it should be to begin with. The cleaning staff keep it very clean. The pool is decent. But overall, I would absolutely not consider staying here again or recommending this hotel to anyone.

I flew to the Dominican This past November (2005), and decided to stay at a hotel instead of my family. I was looking for nice view, good food and quietness. The hotel is indeed Beautiful. I stayed at a executive suite and the view was fantastic. The personnel was very nice and the atmosphere very pleasant. Here it is the down side: The price for the suite was ok, it could have been cheaper. The food was Horrible, they could not get a fresh squeezed orange juice right, or any other juice for that matter. The juices were either to waterie or too sour, no sugar or too much sugar. I don't drink soda and had to drink soda every day-(by the way this was room service, not the restaurant). They also serve very little food for the outrageous amount of money they charged. I was spending close to $100 dollars for breakfast for 2 people and we were not satisfied. We had to go out and eat more. Their menu is not extensive and if you ordered the same food everyday, it will look and taste different every day, not consistent at all. The rooms were not cleaned everyday and towels were rehung as the other reviewer mentioned. I went through a lot and was never even given a discount on my next visit for the inconveniece. I will probably check out the Jaragua, but will most likely come to this hotel again, they should really fix minor problems that ruin their otherwise excellent reputation. I stayed at this hotel for 6 days. New Jersey-

I wouldn't recommend this hotel for the following reasons: poor quality mattress; poor quality sheets; musty smell in the room. If you do stay here, know that you can't cash a travellers' cheque, even a small one, if you aren't paying for your room or extra services with it. The casino does not cash them either. Location is a good one. Room was clean. Doesn't compare to other 4-star hotels; not even close. Needs renovations.

Prices were okay the pool and the gym were really clean

I have written other reviews about this hotel and it doesn't seem to help. The first time I stayed at this hotel, I wrote, that the experience was nice and the location was excellent, however, the food was horrible and the cleanliness was just not there. I had to call the front desk for them to come and change the sheets, this is after 2 days by the way. One day, I don't really care, but a coupe of days, that's rediculous. It is a real shame, that I wrote my first review a couple of years ago and nothing has absolutely changed. I was there last June and the food was still bad, and the rooms were dirty. This is a very good looking Hotel, whomever the manager is should be doing a better job. I went back to DR last October and stayed at the Melia. This hotel is very nice, it is a bit more expensive, but the service is excellent and the rooms very clean. Whomever likes the food from V Centenario has very poor taste or doesn't know hoow to cook, in which case, I agree, the food is good. Anyways, I am planning on going back to DR in February, but WILL NOT stay at this hotel, I refuse to pay my money (work very hard for) in a place that doesn't cater to my needs or makes an attempt to do it. Please pay attention to the negative reviews, it will help you tremendously.

I really liked the quality of the hotel but if I had to say a downside, I thought the food was mediocre and they really needed better service but I definitely reccamend it to someone who wants to stay at a great hotel with their family for a fabulous price.

The service was excellent, and the people awesome. The waitstaff was top notch and very courteous. My only disklike is the jacuzzi had no heat....But it was hot outside enough for the pool anyways. Enough people speak english at the hotel for things to run smoothly. Their gift shop held some unique items. Our room had a great view of the ocean and the pool. My blow dryer worked in the outlet. I know I reported a lot of random stuff but overall it was a great hotel. Take all the advice you can get from the front desk and enjoy being a tourist.
