I don't know where the BAD reviews stayed but it could'nt have been H.V.G.B. or are they just hard to please !!! It's not a 5* luxury hotel but you get what you pay for, 4* enjoyment !! The food was fine in the buffet, always found something to eat. The tables were kept cleared and spotless, the staff work... more

we have just arrived back today from GBHV, there were 8 in our party, ages ranging from 10 to 56, we read a lot of reviews and were confused by the varying opinions of previous holiday makers. I have never written a review before but felt compelled to do so this time. The rooms are basic, although some have been... more

Having travelled all over the world i have stayed in better camp sites. Bedrooms are small, dark and dingy. local wildlife lives on your balcony (well if you can... more

Having read a mixture of reviews prior to booking this holiday, I thought I'd write one of my own just to highlight my thoughts and opinions of the HVGB where we stayed for 2 weeks from 9th June. Firstly, bearing in mind that we only payed £700 each for 2 weeks in the Caribbean, we wasnt expecting 5 star luxury... more

Flight: Flight left Toronto half an hour late which was fine. SkyService is very no frills, plane on the older side. Served a small meal (sandwich, water and a fruit bar). Arrival in Dominican went well, Customs was fast and smooth and the transfer from the airport to hotel was fast. Check-in was great, we had our keys within 10... more

We have recentley returned from the H.V and we had a great time. There was 12 of us, 6 adults and 6 kids ages from 18 months to 15 years old. No one was dissappointed. The hotel was clean and our room was nice and fairly big. we had hair dryers supplied and if you put a couple of dollars... more
