Be Live Grand Marien - All Inclusive - Puerto Plata

I am not experienced traveler. It was my second vacations in all life. I loved this place! It was paradise for me! I appreciate every moment that I spent in this hotel. It was a lot of funny contests, shows, games. I had no time to be bored. I will come back one day!

The best thing about this resort is the staff, they are super friendly and lots of fun. The worse thing about it is the food. I would stay again just because of the staff and don't mind losing weight from not eating.

Wow! As a person who has been to the DR over 50 times I feel this could top worst hotel in the DR yet. They just don't care. Underpaid, under managed, lack of commitment .....who knows but something needs to change. One clear example of so so many is three nights in a row of large black clumps of hair in both beds. I've never seen anything like it. […] The food you can't even explain! They have three places to eat but with out a 48 hr reservation you could only eat at the "all you eat" If I had more time I would go on but in short DON'T DO IT!!!!! Read more

Hotel was good overall, the food was not so tasty at the buffet but at the restaurants was great! Very quiet, Excellent for the price!

First off I have been to many hotels in the area and there are way to many employees who walk around all day. They are no where as nice as the other resorts in the area. It's hard to get comfortable at this resort with all the employees walking around looking lost, grounds crew mowing grass and the photo shop people bothering you all day. Would not […] recommend, Christmas lights, landscaping and service was all half assed and will stay somewhere else next time. Read more

Pros: Beach, large rooms, balconies, incredible views, entertainment and activities, the ocean, the smoothies at breakfast and at check-in, good amenities. Cons: tried to take us aside for a sales pitch for their VIP club, the room had a strong mildew smell at first. This is a typical all-inclusive. The food is plentiful, although nothing to rave about. […] The hours of service were quite ample. There were organized activities for those wanting to join in. The room: During the sales pitch, they claimed they were a four star hotel, but we only had two bath towels and one hand towel and one washcloth for two people who were in and out of the water and showering often. The bed and pillows were in good condition. Everything in the mini bar was included: two cans of beer, a coke and a sprite -- that was it. There were all age groups visiting -- many Europeans, some Americans, few Dominicans. Staff were nice. Even with the complaints, I would go back again at the right price. After all, the beach was great and there were no worries. Read more

UPON ARRIVING, I WAS UPGRADED TO A SUPERIOR OCEAN VIEW ROOM, WHICH I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE VIEW OF THE OCEAN. AS I ADVISED THE EXPEDIA REP WHEN I MADE THE RESERVATION, MY MAIN ROOM CRITERIA IS TO SEE THE OCEAN! I RETURNED TO THE FRONT DESK AND SPOKE TO FAUSTO. HE IMMEDIATELY GAVE ME TWO OPTIONS TO GO CHECK OUT WITH THE BELLMAN. WE GOT TO THE FIRST […] ROOM, A STANDARD OCEAN VIEW ROOM, WHICH I IMMEDIATELY MOVED IN TO. IT WAS THE SAME ROOM THAT I HAD STAYED IN SEVERAL CHRISTMASES AGO. NATY, THE PERSON ASSIGNED TO TAKE CARE OF MY ROOM TOOK BETTER CARE OF ME THAN MY MOTHER USED TO. BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND DINNER WERE EXCELLENT AT THE CAYUCO RESTAURANT. YOGELY GREETED ME WITH A BEAUTIFUL SMILE AND AN EQUALLY ATTRACTIVE TABLE FOR EVERY MEAL! EVERY EMPLOYEE THAT I CAME IN CONTACT WITH WAS FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL. I CAME TO REST AND UNWIND, BUT WAS ALSO TEMPTED BY THE BEACH TO INCLUDE IN A COUPLE OF LONG WALKS ON THE BEACH. I LEFT THE PROPERTY TOTALLY RECHARGED AND FEELING LIKE A NEW PERSON! THANKS TO THE ENTIRE MARIEN STAFF! Read more

staff is very friendly. Food is yummy probably the best in all inclusives Ive had in recent times. Beds are a bit stiff

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very good value. Although the appearance of hotel was impressive, some of features showed wear and tear. AC in my room was frigid. They came three times to fix it...but never did get it fixed. Had to turn of AC so I didn't freeze. Food was pretty good. Service and staff were very good.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I enjoyed the hotel...this was my second time staying...the first time we stayed it was awesome everything was great this time however our room smelled of mildew and mold and we were by the ocean which made our room feel drab and damp when we opened the door...the room had kind of a musty smell and the bed was uncomfortable to me that I had a difficult […] time sleeping...the grounds itself were beautiful and the staff was always professional and attentive to our needs...I like the hotel and would go back but would lie a room in the 8000bldg like my first trip...

Needs a bit of renovation , whole pool bar area flooded after torrential rain . I had to wade through one foot of water to return to my room . Also had water coming in through bathroom ceiling.

It a nice hotel and peaceful place I just went for a weekend and I had so much fun but the only thing that ruin ma vacation was the rain.. Try to look the wheater firth...everything else was amazing thank u

Genuine Expedia guest review

Staff were generally very helpful and courteous. Only down side is the aggressive timeshare staff that seem to be a part of the hotel so there's no getting away from them. A polite "no Gracias" does not work with these folks. Food was generally below average but the gourmet restaurant has good food but you have to book it early in the day or you're […] out of luck Read more

Great hotel for family. Food was good, but you NEED reservations for the nice restaurants which i didnt get a chance to go to. The buffet food was good, atmosphere was good, drinks were good and beach and pool were great. Do it!

Genuine Expedia guest review

The stay was great , but the food could be better , they should have typical food , not different flood like oriental , Italian , Asian , and alsO the restaurant should be open every night .

Great staff! Nice people. Great pool great food specially the gourmet dinner. The room was clean but needs renovation. The bed was not comfortable, not enough sheets. Overall 3.5 to 4.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was a great experience, i rated overall with 4 only because they should improve there snack bars, the snack wasn't that good, but on the other hand the rest off the food was great. My wife and i can recommend this hotel!!!!! :)

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The internet was advertised free but it was NOT. The food was bland except for the Gourmet restaurant. The buffet was not worth the trip! I ate in the local economy for better food. The staff from the casino stationed at the entry of this hotel was disrespectful and RUDE. The casino is a RIP-OFF! The timeshare presentation is a bait and switch. I never […] received my concert tickets! The rooms were clean and the maid staff was the only high point on this visit. I may go to another island on my next trip. For those on a budget...there are buses that passes the entrance of the airport to the entrance of this hotel for 50 pesos...the $20-$30 usd price is a RIP-OFF. You can rent a car and driver ALL Day for that price...you'll see! Read more

I've stayed at a few other resorts along the same strip, and Be Live Grand Marien, in my opinion, really surpasses the rest. My room was gorgeous and super clean! Pleasant staff that were always eager to help. The entertainment team was full of energy round the clock. The food was decent -- tasty but nothing that really stood out.

change the food of the buffet! but I was very pleased!! I would go again.

I have stayed at this hotel many times over the past eight years and will continue to stay there exclusively in the future. The staff is always ready to help and take care of your every need.

I truly enjoyed our time there. My husband and I have stayed in many resorts in DR and this is one of the best by far. Beautiful beach. The rooms are very clean and modern. I loved the decor and the food was very good, the service too. But the Brazilian restuarant especially was delicious... do make a reservation to eat there! The evening entertainment […] stage shows after dinner were a bit lame but the Night-Club/ DIsco totally made up for it. It was crazy packed with a young fun vibe, drinks and great latin dance music! Fun in the Sun, Good Food, Good Music in a Nice Hotel Resort ... who can ask for anthing more? Read more

drinks with cheap alcohol in very small cups with kind of long lines and 1 bartender

I spent 6 days there on 4 different reservations. Originally I was very dissatisfied because of the people at the reception area. They were uncooperative and kept quotin rules that I did not know even existed. As the week went on, the service improved. The restaurants were excellent, especially the Brazilian one. The staff there is excellent. The pool […] is also amazing. I would return if I ever decide to return to D.R. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I came here with my family of six in early September. We only have good things to say about the resort. We all had a wonderful experience. Rooms- We had standard rooms, those were gorgeous. The beds were spacious, there was a flat screen TV, a mini fridge, coffee maker and many other nice amenities. Not to mention the bathroom had a jacuzzi tub and […] great AC. Food- The food was good, I personally preferred the Dominican buffet on saturdays. We only ate at the Buffet Restaurant and Snack Bar, we were definitely left satisfied! There are bars everywhere on the resort, and we all enjoyed the drinks they had to offer. Entertainment- Our family really enjoyed the entertainment. The shows at night were fun to watch and the games by the pool made us laugh. The entertainment staff was very charismatic and friendly! Pool- The pool is amazing. We all couldn't have enough. Beach- The beach was beautiful, although there was seaweed and some washed up on the sand, its still a beach, it belongs there. But that will definitely not deter you from enjoying the beach. DR offers the best beaches ever. Overall, the resort was relaxing, enjoyable and very pleasing. One tip is that it's emptier on weekdays because locals come in on weekends. They also have a casino, disco, spa, and gym on site if you're interested. It's also a great resort for couples. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel looks good, the staff is awesome , the food not so much. We stayed there for 1 week, and went to the buffet every morning for breakfast, but we only dine there twice. They mention they have 3 other restaurants avaliable , but only 1 opens every day. You must be at the front desk before 9 if you want to get a spot. If you get there at 10, you […] wont find no more space. I think they should open the 3 restaurants plus the buffet every day. The food at the cafeteria isnt good at all. I was very dissapointed about the food. Everything else is good. What we did, we went l for dinner to different local places. We found good food and the prices werent bad at all. But, what is the point of paying for all inclusive if you have to get out of the hotel to eat everyday???. I know for next time. The pool and the entertainment is very good, the beach is pretty. The food BAD! Read more

The stay was excellent, the only thing behind my living room had a residue of sewage that allowed me to go out to the balcony on that day, everything else is great, but I think that should solve the situation of having bad taste.
