The property was clean, rooms were updated, food was good and restaurants were good as well. The only thing I would suggest would be for staff to be a little more welcoming especially in the buffet areas. Should not take flashing USD to get a smile. Kids club was nice as well my daughter (8) enjoyed it and made friends. Loved the Dominican and Greek restaurants very tasty! Mexican could use work as service was lacking. Italian service was great but food barely good. I had the seafood ravioli and the tomato sauce tastes like it was out of a can. Used the Spa very clean, cool, relaxing very much enjoyed it! The front desk receptionist could have been a tad friendlier as well. I would return as overall hotel and experience was great!

Dice q el hotel esta totalmente renovado pero no parece, 1er dia no pudimos dormir pq el AC no enfriaba, era una queja de varios huespedes. Tampoco enfriaba el minifridge. Lo cambiaron 2 veces y nada. Por suerte al otro dia nos cambiaron la habitacion y todo mejorò. Gracias al conserje Manuel por ayudarnos al cambio y su amabilidad. La playa totalmente inservible por montañas de sargazo que apestaban la zona. 5 dias alli y nunca limpiaron la playa.

Food at the buffet was great, the bartender at the wet bar makes the most delicious coco loco. The least faborite was the Dominican restaurant. The wait staff was rude, they kept forgetting our food and although the restaurant was not packed, the eait times were looooong. Other than the restaurante, the service, staff, cleaning crew and bartenders were awesome. Would definitely recommend.

Unfortunately this hotel is average. Dominicans in general have the worst customer service ever. The food was average (always the same). We saw roaches at the Italian restaurant. The waiters are terrible. You’ve to go and get your own drinks. Be ready to serve yourself if you want to get good service haha. Cleaning was average. The main pool was ok. Entertainment was okay. I’ve traveled with 2 kids (10&8) the water park in this hotel was for toddlers. The shows were boring only few were good. We’re not coming back. At least this hotel is not for us. The beach has a lot of seaweed and the smell omg. They’re not maintaining the access to the beach. Very disappointing because the beach is beautiful. No nos gusto este hotel. La pasamos bien, pero no fue lo que esperabamos!
