What a weird name for a hotel.

It sounds like it has recently re-open after renovations of an older hotel. There is not too much info about it online but the few reviews out there seem to give it 4-5 stars consistently. It seems like it is a quieter place, not all inclusive but with a good breakfast.

The place is small, the pool is small but supposedly good service and clean.

Any first hand reviews?

you are right creature..............i think that it was one of the first a.i.s in the playa dorada complex.......at on time was jack tar village......and went thru many name changes over the years....when i stayed there about 8 years ago, it wast called holiday village golden beach......had a wave pool and good kids club.....so yes, geared to families.....walked by it last year, and it looks as though they have put some money into it and geared it to adults....but i did not stop in

I stayed there in April of 2013. Below I copied and pasted my trip advisor review!

“Modern with great potential for more”
4 of 5 starsReviewed April 19, 2013
This property is a not an all inclusive although a complete, real and well done breakfast is included for two. The breakfast lounge (also the restaurant by day) has a great view of the peaceful lawns. The beach area is right over the lawns and it was spectacularly tranquil with great canopy beach beds. Only a couple of other guest were there as the hotel was sparsely occupied.

The room was great, really well finished with flat screen tv and comfortable mattress. Great hot water and quiet ac and fan.
FYI.... I arrived driving my own vehicle instead of in a taxi/shuttle and Security at the front entrance seem protective and maybe a bit abrupt, since they thought I was a local but thats probably just me nitpicking. Overall it was good, prompt service by all. I recommend this place when gotten at the right price and I will be back.

Stayed April 2013, traveled as a couple

Be very sceptical of ANY review web site.
I knew one hotel very well. TA just republished the total BS the owner had put in his web site.
No one is perfect. So read the negative parts of the review. If can live with the bad things go for it.
No bad statements? It could be a BS review.

JackTar came from a nickname for sailors in the Royal Navy. Don't know how it ended up on the north coast though.

They're doing a lot renovating and building at Blue Jacktar.

The OP is all over the map, from cabanas to Field of Dreams!
Lemme guess, he has a Prix Fixe novia, and wants to taste the smorgasbord as well.

All of the above is outdated info. No longer an AI. The new condo building is a highrise you can see from Star Hill, very upscale lavish decor, we've only toured, not stayed there. The restaurant is excellent nice view of the beach & the golf course. I have read the Brugal family are major investors in the new resort.
