Terrible

Highly recommended.

All staff was courteous

Five start hotel service. Excellent rooms with modern decorations and technology. This hotel is highly recommended. Excellent food and restaurants at the hotel and nearby.

Great facility

La atención es excelente y hotel es acogedor y limpio !!

The hotel was really clean and everyone was very helpful my only complaint is that is not a kid friendly hotel. I have 2 children , 4 and 12 and the pool didn’t even have a kid section. Nothing available for them to keep them entertained.

I liked how this old/traditional hotel's rooms have been remodeled to fit a quite more modern feel. I think the rugs by the bed could be changed or cleaned better. I loved the food, a mix of traditional Dominican delights with international cuisine makes leaving the hotel unnecessary for gastronomic reasons.

Since the first day we arrived the Air conditionner was not working properly after the electricity was shut down. We called the reception, someone came and after that we had the same problem again and calle d the reception but nothing was done. here was also a water leak in The bathroom when taking the shower.

Immediately upon entering the hotel and speaking, the front desk lady asks, in a nasty tone and with disgust on her face, “You don’t speak Spanish?” And then proceeded to be rude while checking us in. Besides the front desk staff and operator, no one speaks an ounce of English and became mad at us for trying to speak broken Spanish to communicate our needs. TWO times staff just opened our hotel room door. Both times they knocked once and I said hold on and both times they just walked in. When I tried to hold the door close, the first time it happened, the employee kept trying to push the door open ANYWAY! Upon ordering room service, they constantly knock on your door to see if you’ve finished, even if you have the do not disturb on. It’s very frustrating when trying to have some relaxing time. The hotel doesn’t offer Covid-19 testing but gave us a list of places we could call to schedule ours before flying back home, which we were initially thankful for. I asked the guys the front desk how far the first one on the list was from the hotel and he said, “if I told you, you wouldn’t understand anyway.” Upon calling the sites, none had employees that could speak English and the employees at each clinic hung up on us as we tried to communicate in our broken Spanish to schedule the required test to get back home. I called the front desk and let them know the issue and I had to request that they help me with scheduling. I DO NOT recommend this hotel.

Perfect

Excellent in every way.

I liked that it felt like a resort( away from the push and pull of city life)- I did not like that when we arrived the room was set for 1 when I booked for 2 people. And we never got the mini bar filled although we asked twice in two separate days. Besides the fact that the plug in the bathroom for the hair drying was broken, hence we could not use it.

everything was perfect

Very nice hotel. Staff was very pleasant. Breakfast was delicious. Room and facility are very nice.

I was charge a lot of money for refrigerator bar. The staff spoke very little English.
