We have stayed at many all-inclusive and resorts - we're seasoned travelers. This place has OK accommodations ( not great) and OK food (also not great). But the service is just terrible. Waiting 30 minutes to get a drink frequently, or waiters that just done wait on you nor bring the food until you demand service. But we also had 3 infants and were assured they would have cribs for them There were no cribs the whole time - they just lied. There's just too many other nice places to stay way closer to the airport. I would never return here

Went with group. Frequrnt times service poor or non existent. We overlooked this many times during our 2 nighy stay but waking up to a stream of water coming from the bathroom ceiling at 6am on our final day was the last straw. Took 4 hours to resolve with maintenance and then spent the remainder of the afternoon being degraded by multiple supervisory staff because none of our very reasonable requests for compensation were honored. Horrible customer service. Wont be back.

The resort is brand new and they don’t seem ready. The staff is clueless of what’s where, restaurant hours, and general directions. Like they have no experience or general knowledge outside of their responsibility. Made me wonder if they’ve even walked the grounds or seen a map. The food display was great but was way off. All the hot food was cold (unless it was grilled items), the cold food was at room temperature (ice cream and desserts), the mangu (smashed plantains, common dish in DR) was dried up as was the fried cheese. The airconditioning was on freeze mode which probably affected the food but also bars and general areas. People were in blankets and bundled together for body warmth and the staff even complained about it in the shopping areas. The servers brought out the wrong food at each meal and took forever to take orders. The shuttle drivers were great, poolside grills and pizza makers were great, overall staff very friendly, and the place looked great as long as you dint look closely or touched anything because it all looked like it was poor engineering and loosely held together. Not to mention it’s about 1.5 hours away from the airports. I went 10/2025, I’d say give it a year to work out the kinks before considering this place as it is beautiful and has lots of potential with proper management.

The resort was beautiful the staff was amazing would like to mention that Nilvio was a awesome host and that Adrian and Cassandra at the pool bar are two of the best bartenders ive ever met as well as wonderful people,the only disappointment was that the resort had advertised 11 restaurants did not mention that only 2 or 3 were open each evening not all 11 daily kind of false advertising..but overall love this resort.
