Golden Crown Paradise
This all inclusive, adults only hotel was an experience. The staff were amazing. Check in is not until 3. We packed our bathing suits and beach gear in a separate bag and used the courtesy room to change. We were able to sit by the pool until check in. The food was good. You have several options, room service, pool side restaurant, or a more formal area for dinner.
The rooms were clean and nice. The bathrooms were huge. All of the rooms face the pool or water. The pool is smaller than we expected. Get there early to reserve a seat. Also, there is not much shade, so the seats in the shade are really hard to get. Don't sit too close to the bar, there was a bee problem while we were there.
The only problem was not the hotel's fault. The beaches are public and you cannot sit out there without being bombarded with people selling stuff.

Our only visit to the Golden Crown Paradise Hotel was in late October of 2005 for our 25th anniversary. We spent a week there in a pure tropical paradise. Everything you need is there to ensure that you have a wonderful time. The attentive staff, the wonderful food, and the ample drinks make this a very romantic getaway spot. Every day is paradise.

This was such a fabulous place to stay. My husband and I can't wait to go back. Not only was it all inclusive but it was adults only. If you're not sure what the difference would be...the only conversations we had to listen to were "honey, can you put more sunscreen on me?" and "una cerveza por favor!"
The rooms were very ample. The bathroom was a very good size. There was an iron and ironing board in the big closet. This was a good thing because I had to iron our "nice clothes" for dinner. We ate at both the Salvador and Paradise restaurants on site. Both require that men wear long pants and closed toe shoes--my husband didn't have either so we made a quick run to Wal-Mart.
The view from the pool out to the ocean was breathtaking. The pool side service for drinks was excellent. The food (restaurant or ala carte) was really good. The only money we spent was when we took a little trip downtown and on tips. Even though it's all inclusive, it's such a great idea to tip your waiters and bartenders--they REALLY appreciate it, and they will remember you. I read other reviews about the vendors on the beach and how pushy they can be--just say "Gracias, no" and they will move on. We didn't feel inundated by them at all.
I would recommend this to anyone with a significant other that is looking for a very reasonably priced, yet relaxing tropical vacation. We are already planning our return trip next summer!
