Grand Paradise is a great hotel.
Be nice to the staff, don`t act like a snotty all-deserving person, and you`ll be fine. Speaking spanish helps, but they won`t ignore you if you can`t speak spanish. During my stay, I was the only one who could speak spanish, and the rest of my friends and fam still had great service!
I stayed in the rooms near the beach, which were fine. The food is delicious if you`ve been exposed to things other than the usual "steak and potatoes"
Hope you enjoy your stay!
and go to Mangu night club!
