I thought that for my first all-inclusive it was very nice. The beach and pool (main reason for going) was great not one ... complaint. The food was decent but to make reservations for restaurants was a hassle and there was little room available. Staff was great!

Simply put...the worst vacation I've ever been on. The Hotel is a horrible place. Every American staying there felt the ... same way. Many actually packed up and left. Food and beverage just horrible....and will make you sick. The rooms are really run down and hardly air conditioned. DO NOT go to this hotel if you are used to the American standard of living!!!

Make sure that you book your reservations for dining as soon as you check in, they get very packed. The Oriental Restaurant was NOT good, the rest were awesome, especially the Lobster House (which is NOT inclusive)

Shopping tip, Short Walk

Hotel's shopping stores are extremely expensive so we walk to the "plaza" its at the right side out of hotel. We walk around and find a supermarket with acceptable prices.

Looks can decieve

Disappointed Traveler Nov 21, 2009

I was so excited for this trip and was completely disappointed from day one. Our room was absolutely disgusting. Rust around ... the toilet, scum on all the fixtures in the bathroom, room had musty smell, moldy and dirty lamp shades, a fan that didn't work, patio door that didn't lock and only a few channels on the television. We asked several times to upgrade our room and was told that the hotel was completley booked. We were not happy with our room until the 3rd day of our trip after going to the front desk several times a day for a new room. The staff was not very friendly with an acception of a few staff members. The food was not that good all around. The hotel needed a major update. Overall we ended up not having a good vacation because the first few days of trying to get a new room really drained all of our excitment. Definitely not a place that I would return too!

We were very dissappointed in the food for an all inclusive resort and the availability of the restaurants. The restaurants ... were not full at all so I think they could accomidate more people. The beach & pools were absolutely beautiful. The snorkeling was not good at all. The rooms were fine and very spacious. All of the staff was very helpful.

We loved everything about the hotel and the way the staff treated us. Everyone was friendly. the only thing that was missing ... was dancing music for the older generation. We aren't into regeaton! More music from 60's, 70's, so we can enjoy our evenings more because we still like to dance! We plan on going back, if Jehovah permits, next year!

Also, I recall my reservation in cluding transportation to and from the hotel yet there ... were no documents provided to me and I was charged $70 for transportation.

Lack of Customer Sv.

Milupe Aug 31, 2009

We relaxed by the beach & pool. We tried to book horse back riding the day after we arrived and they were booked. We asked ... for help to see if there was another way of arranging for us to ride the horses & the gentleman at the check-in desk sent us to a fellow who then send us to the rude receptionist who said: (God, give me patience with these people wanting to ride horses) in spanish. We walked away and went to the beach. Everytime we asked quesions, we were sent to 3-4 people before getting an answer. Once they answered our questions, they would walk away without asking if we had further questions. In addition, the hotel has people selling excursions at the lobby and each individual gave us different pricing. I found that very disorganized. Other resorts and cruises I've been on treat me with alot of courtesy,are attentive and the staff smiles. The coffee was great; my spouse enjoyed the food; I would've prefer my food hot, not warm. IF I ever go back to Dominican Republic, it WON'T be to that hotel.

It was the worst they didn't have our room we had to sleep in another hotel that we didn't pay for it. The rooms smell and my ... bed had ants. The staff are super rude and unprofessional. I would not ever go back or book with orbits. I went to have a good time but I didn't enjoy anything. I'm demanding for orbits to do something because I book with you guys thinking that I was going to have fun.

Joey Aug 4, 2009

Were do i begin, got there air conditioning did not work in the room, argued for 2 hours until they switch my room ... terrible.the air condition was still terrible. then finally got that , thought i was going out to a nice dinner. the food was inedible, i wouldnt feed it to my dog literally i kid you not. My friend ordered beef medallions in which we are still waiting to recieve his dinner 5 days later.. No one spoke english. the liquor was bottom of the barrel.

Shopping tip, Short Walk

Short 20min walk on the beach to the left Aldi Booth Good price for everything

--Tommy, USA Nov 29, 2009

Dining tip, Short Walk

Make sure that you book your reservations for dining as soon as you check in, they get very packed. The Oriental Restaurant was NOT good, the rest were awesome, especially the Lobster House (which is NOT inclusive)

--Siah, NYC Nov 27, 2009

Shopping tip, Short Walk

Hotel's shopping stores are extremely expensive so we walk to the "plaza" its at the right side out of hotel. We walk around and find a supermarket with acceptable prices.

--The travelers, Miami, Florida Nov 9, 2009

Recreation/Attractions tip, In Hotel

Scuba certification available for low price (compared to US) and in only 2 days.

--Honeymooners, Fredericksburg, VA Aug 23, 2009

Dining tip, Short Walk

Get the all inclusive deal to include the motorized water sports. Several restaurants to choose from, but reservations are a must at specific ones. The buffet was well staffed and displayed an excellent variety of choices.

--Pat, DC Native, Washington, DC Aug 7, 2009

Money savers tip, Long Walk

Now, bring lots of mosquito repellent put it on before you leave your room.If you happen to go to the small stores in the hotel "VERY EXPENSIVE", try going outside the Hotel flea market, you can hustle the price down and they will give it to you. If in case your are bringing a bottle of Mamajuana make sure to fill it up with a cheap rum, otherwise it will be taken away from customs in Punta Cana.

--Rae Rae, NY, NY Jul 10, 2009

--Fun in the Sun, Manhattan, NY Jun 20, 2009

Dining tip, Short Walk

check out all the food and bar options to familiarize yourslef w/ cuisines, and availability...

--Walt, Henrico, VA Jun 19, 2009

Dining tip

Get up early enough to make reservations for the dinner restaurants. Although the buffets are well stocked and diverse in their selections it can get old after a week. Be sure to bring your reservation receipt to the restaurant

--Love2Travel, Pittsburgh, PA Jun 17, 2009

Recreation/Attractions tip

Bargain, bargain, bargain. Never take the first offer from the people trying to sell you activities on the beach...they WILL lower the cost on an activity and they are very friendly still.

--Em, Atlanta, GA Jun 7, 2009

Dining tip, In Hotel

The Lobster House is a must. The food there was absolutely delicious and the view of the beach was fantastic. I had the grilled mini lobsters with the lobster cream for appetizer and it was really good. Best food i had on the trip.

--Happy Vacationer, North Jersey Jun 5, 2009

Time savers tip

If you have a tough stomach and speak Spanish.... Try it.

--Died in DR, Philadelphia, PA Jun 1, 2009

Nightlife tip, Short Walk

Mangu next door is fun if you want to dance. Drinks there are not inclusive...and keep an eye on your purse and your friends/significant others. Prostitutes, both male and female, are everywhere.

--US Traveler who loves the DR, Georgia Jun 1, 2009

Nightlife tip, In Hotel

When a hikes does not include food give host some provision of food or a card for it acquires in the destination to visit

--Luis And Tully, Lancaster, Pennsylvannia, USA May 28, 2009

Money savers tip, Short Walk

Hotel lil-shops are extremelly expensive, so is the bavaro plaza..We kept walking over the same street and after a few minutes we found a regular supermarket with all kind of souvenirs and goods for fraction of the price. So it was worthy the walk.

--2travelers, MIAMI, FL. May 9, 2009

Entertainment tip, In Hotel

The facilities, pool, snack bar, activities, show, personnel, etc. was really good.

--Satisfied friends, San Lorenzo, P.R. May 2, 2009

--Corrie's mom, Alliance, Ohio May 2, 2009
