  Nice but won’t be back

  The hotel is beautiful. I did not like that the buffets were all outdoors and that smoking was allowed. I wish there was filtered water in every room. They tried to get you to buy a membership and were very persistent. I didn’t like that they tried to sell you something on the beach and everywhere you go. The pool was great and so were the employees.

  Fine for budget friendly option

  Property is small but we'll kept. Rooms are nice with great AC. The entertainment team is fantastic, my favorite part. I recommend joining in with evety activity they have Gym is small , but nice. Food was fine/ok. My favorite was the local Dominic food served. We ate at the Siblia restaurant and had really great steaks and they had a fantastic birthday celebration for my teen daughter. You have to reserve this with customer service desk 24 hours prior and pay $35 for a cake. Cons: for the 1st, 3 days I was told that there were no reservations available at either of the 2 nicer restaurants during our 4 night stay by the Dominicana side customer sevice desk. Then a staff member recommended I go to the Punta Cana side and magically they had space for us at both. I suggest staying on the Punta Cana side and going to the Dominicana side for their large stage entertainment. The customer service is better there in general. At the Dominicana, the staff can be rude and miserable. It's very hit or miss. Once you find a great server or bartender though, tip them and treat them well and they will be your best friend. There are definitely some great ones. Wifi was terrible for me. It worked best at pool area but rarely in the room. Bring an empty water bottle in your suitcase to refill. They don't give you any in your room, but have glass bottles for $20 available that you need to refill yourself. I found that ridiculous. Cocktail servers are very hit or miss at beach and pool areas. I almost always went and got my own drinks at the bar for lack of attention. I brought my teen daughter and 2 of her friends and this resort was fine for that. I won't be going back, personally. for a nicer type trip.

  Amazing all-inclusive resort with beautiful beaches

  We stayed in this resort for a week in February and we loved it. This is an amazing all-inclusive resort with beautiful Caribbean beaches, great food options, excellent customer service, and very helpful staff always smiling, friendly and welcoming. We particularly enjoyed the daily fun entertainment activities and fitness classes tailored to accommodate all levels. Thanks and we’ll come back.
