great fun and very friendly staff
This was my 1st time at an all inclusive & it was underwhelming. Here’s why: -limited dining options & hrs. Most opened at 6pm so it’s pretty much buffet only -amenities & shows also had limited times open -the beach had these huge sewer pipes along the entire beach. It was quite the eye sore & no way we were going inside the water -pool was a decent size but they should have an adults only section -most staff were nice but some were preferential in who they serviced first -in the room, our main light went off & never came back on -the buffet was very non traditional Dominican. If you want to eat American food then it’s good for you but we were aiming to eat DR food -alcoholic drinks were a joke, never got the smallest buzz Overall there just wasn’t much to do. Would probably not do again.
The hotel is very big, it has a lot of restaurants and activities every night and day.
All was good god
The hotel is alright. The food is pretty standard stuff. They are not on a great strip of oceanfront. They had half of their restauraunts closed the entire time, including the steakhouse(which is closed 6/7 days). Decent if you are on a budget, but I would spend the extra money to go somewhere nicer if you are expecting to eat at the A'lacarte restauraunts.
Room facility too old
As soon as I arrived problems started. We were a group of 6 people and each of us had encounter some sort of real issue. My aunt even at water flooding from ceiling to her room. Really it was the worst vacation ever. We went there because it was my husband birthday. over all, bad experience with this hotel from start to finish. NEVER AGAIN!
It was very disappointing that there were only 2 restaurants open a night. I feel like that that should have been something that was mentioned so people can decide whether or not too book. Also it said no reservations needed but you basically needed it in order to eat since there were only 3 restaurants open. The food was not very pleasing. The resort was very understaffed, however they were awesome and tried their best. There wasn’t much to do until 8pm and even then. Just very disappointing overall for my first all inclusive resort.
Entertainment was excellent. Disco was closed. Music was excellent at night. Food was BLAND for being Dominican. Pool was nice. Drinks were watery. Staff was very nice. Rooms were nice n clean but very distant from everything. They need better restaurants.
el lugar no estaba limpio , el olor de la habitación era feo , las sabanas se sentian mojadas , como humedas .
It’s hard to rate during a pandemic many venues were closed.I’ve been to the DR for many years and every resort hounds you about their vacation packages until you have to be rude for them to leave you alone.I go on vacation to get away from pressure. I enjoy the resort when the pressure is over with
Like!? First off when my wife i got to the arrivel gate, the shuttle that was supposed to takes to the hotel was not there. We were greeted by a child that the chauffeurs left behind so we could wait for a 30 minutes for him. As we arrived the the Hotel seemed pleasant and we were booked immediately by the front desk, which was good. Another gentleman greeted us and drove us around the premises, what a mistake that was since all he did after that was harassed us all day and night about some "Privileged" package he had to offer. At one point we felt like had to hide from
The overall setup of the property was great. We didn't have any issues finding the different facilities (everything was well marked). Beautiful beach, nice pools and excellent staff.
Me and my girlfriend tripped here for college spring break and the place was awesome. Very nice beach along with all of the amenities and events that the resort puts on, restaurants were great as well and we had a lot of options to choose from each night. There was always something to do whether it was day or night and the night life was awesome for hanging out and even meeting people and live music. Overall was a great experience for first time in Dominican Republic and definitely would come back!
Management is complete garbage. Staff is phenomenal but I will never stay here again.
Variety of eating places. But not all open every day. The snorkeling excursion was a complete waste of money! The coral was dead and brown. There was very few fish to see. We went without hot water for three days, and they were not Very accommodating to help us out. We will not return there.
