Review of Paradisus La Perla
I’ve stayed at Paradisus La Perla twice before and always had great experiences. Both times, I booked a Junior Suite Reserve with a nature view and was placed in the Reserve building, which is quiet and relaxing. Because of those positive visits, I chose the resort again for my 40th wedding anniversary and even upgraded to a Master Suite Reserve with a nature view six months in advance.
Unfortunately, this stay did not meet the standard I had come to expect. Instead of being placed in the Reserve building, I was given a room in the main building overlooking the main pool, which is extremely loud. I also did not receive turn-down service on the first night. When I asked to be moved to the Reserve building, I was told that only Junior Suites were available and that I would receive no credit for the downgrade, which was disappointing.
For my anniversary, I booked a romantic dinner for two at the La Perla pavilion. Unfortunately, a worker was power-washing the sidewalk about ten feet away during the meal, making it hard to enjoy the atmosphere. On top of that, the food arrived barely warm, likely because the waiter had to carry it from far away. Overall, the food quality seems to have gone down compared to past visits.
I will say that the staff remains friendly and helpful, which I truly appreciate. However, between the room issues, the noise, and the disappointing anniversary dinner, this stay fell short of the excellent experiences I once associated
