In general i will want NOT recommend this hotel to anyone. i have been in Punta Cana many times and this is the worst place that i havce seen so far. The hotel has nothing to do with what was advertised and there are seaweed everywhere and it is not being maintained or cleaned in front the hotel. We had to walk 1/2 mile every day to get to a clean beach . They first couple days had to move us to a new room because of a broken AC

The experience was terrible. We had to change to 4 rooms to finally be in a room that was satisfactory. The 1st room the door will not open, after 1 hour of waiting, that when they decide to get us another room. The 2nd room was flooded with water from the bathroom. One of my bags and clothes were ruined. The 3rd room, the AC didn’t work properly, we slept very uncomfortable. All these in less then 24 hours. The staff showed no empathy and never showed urgency. The worst experience I ever had in a resort.

The worse experience! The seaweed that’s piled up in front of the beach. It’s stank really bad and was there the whole 4 nights I stayed at this hotel. Who knows how long’s it’s been there but by the looks and smell of it, def a long time. We had to walk over to another beach to be able to enjoy the water and not smell the rotten piled up seaweed. This hotel is not ocean front. You need to go through another hotel in order to access the beach. The staff was horrible from the moment we walked in to check in the person took a long time to attend to us and when she did she got distracted with another guest who already being taken care off. By the way this hotel is full of Columbians and I guess because I’m not Columbian I wasn’t a priority. The food was horrible and it made my stomach hurt. The restaurant that was included was part of the snack bar and when we reserved we were served snacks! The whole staff were not friendly at all! The bathroom advertised on Expedia did not look like it at all. See pictures of sink and handle! The water from the bathroom smell like seaweed and poop! The entertainment was trash. One of the bar tender was super drunk and served my cousin the wrong drink twice and even after she call her out on it she had an attitude. The uber driver who picked usup to drive us to the airport noticed how uncomfortable and upset we were and said we are not the only ones who leave unhappy some have left super sick with rashes stomach issues etc. Just don’t!!

Nada mas entre al barrio el olor a aguas albañales estaba en todos lados, y cuando entré a la habitacion, mi unica decision era que me quedaria primero a dormir en el auto que en esa habitacion, horrible los muebles viejos obscurity y no se repiraba un ambiente seguro, al final no me quede en el hotel ni 5 minutes y me fui , mi sugerencia e expidia, siendo yo un cliente de tanto años es que retiren este hotel de sus ofertas ya que no cumple con los minims standards de un hotel, mas tarde hare un claim para mi reembolso.

I did NOT like it at all !

I hated everything about the food. The first day I went to the snack bar, there were flies everywhere. It was such a turn off! The food at the buffet was not good either, I just left and bought food on the road or at Bavaro Beach next door. The bathroom was so hard to look at. In between the tiles were brown and look like they years of dirt and soap scum trapped and the pipes were rusty and clearly old and needing replacement. The lady said it was “wear and tear due to cleaning” WHAT!!!? I showered in cold water because there was just no hot water. On the last morning I had to leave the shower running for 20min before it got a little lukewarm. Shout out to Erick though, he tried his best to make me feel comfortable and even got the restaurant to give me a whole cake for my birthday. Overall, this hotel needs some serious upgrades to even be considered anything more than a 2 star hotel.

Avoid if you can afford elsewhere

A la carte restaurant is terrible, slow. Buffet mediocre and unless you are early they don’t replensish the food. Few staff speak English. Tiny amount of cocktails on the menu and all made with cheapest liquor and often don’t have the ingredients for all of them. Can be very noisy. Small pools. Only upside is a couple of the bar staff are great. Beach is terrible covered in seaweed and smelly so cannot get to the sea. Sister hotel charged $50 for a day pass
