“nice place for a good price”
Awesome place for activities and night life. The workers are great and funny. Food was real good. The only negative thing is we booked a king size bed and they give you 2a twin size beds. You have to compliance to get the ling size bed.
“Had a great time”
I loved everthing about this hotel but the food at the buffet should not have the same food every day. Also $10 a day for internet is a bid to much.
“Vacation Beware with upside.”
First Impression were below expectation with the manager David C of the resort. We booked a king bed and the 1st night was stuck in a room with 2 full beds. What was very disappointing was the managers atttutide and lack of apology. We stayed in one of the villias which was very basic, but the rooms in the buildings in the center of the properly looked much better. There was not an iron in the room. When we requested one, we were inform there were none. We could have our items pressed for a fee. If you do not speak spanish choose another resort. Although the staff was very friendly and willing to help in anyway, it was hard to find one who spoke English. Each staff member we met did there best to make our stay enjoyable. There are some positives to the hotel. The food was above average. Be sure to make a dinner reservation before 9am because they time slot fill fast. You can eat at the buffet which is also good. The staff had planned entertainment at the pool and took pride in delivering a great guest experience. The 3 pools were very nice and the beach was only a short 5 minute walk. Lastly, the spa was enjoyable. There sauna was not working but the gym and the massage were execellent. Enjoy your staff if you venture to this resort, but beware of what to expect.
“Not Impressed”
Although I am a firm believer in the saying "you get what you paid for" I don't believe that there is any hotel that shuoldn't give you a set of clean towels on a daily basis. Initially, when we got there we got the wrong room, we had selected 2 bedrooms with king size beds, instead we got 2 bedrooms with 2 double beds. The staff, including management, was really rude about the "mix up." They said that they would put us in the correct rooms the following day because they didn't have anything then. OK fair enough, we were to be at the lobby at 4pm the following day so we can get our new rooms. We waited, at 2pm I went to the reception area and asked if everything was still okay for our change later that day, "Yes, they are just cleaning them up now" Well, come 4pm we were told that they people who were suppose to check out didn't leave. Hmm interesting. The pillows smelled dense and humid, the food was a little below average. Most of the staff was rude. The only staff that was accomidating was a waiter we had. He always made sure we had anything we needed. He was even kind enough to leave my husband some beers outside of our door and made sure that our mini fridge had pop and water at all times. Other than that, I'm not really impressed. It's sad that even management, I believe his name was Maximino and the concierge, Jennifer, were beyond rude! The beach isn't far but it's still a walk, no oceanview avaiable at all. Not a big variety of drinks either. Wouldn't go back!!
“Can't wait to go back”
We went on Sep. 28 to Oct. 2/11. Definitively, we will come back again!. The Dominican people at the Hotel are the most friendly people we ever met. The Hotel and the activities were very good, just one recommendation and it is about the temperature at the Theater during the shows every night, is very hot in there and there is not fans or air conditioner. The shows were spectacular, very professional. We were glad we brought some medicines, because at the stores in the Hotel are very expensive.
“Had a great time!!!!!”
The staff at the resort are really nice and willing to help. There are so many things to do besides laying out by the pool. Make sure to bring some extra cash so you don't have to keep going to the ATM. It was a really nice place for the price so I couldn't ask for more.
“Good, But not great”
GOOD: Beaches and pool were great Villas were nice change from hotel room Staff wasn't overbearing BAD: Mixed drinks were horrible, and only one kind of beer Food at certain restaurants was sub par more employees need to speak English Not much too do outside of resort
“It was ok, it was what i paid for.”
It was ok, the food was ok, not great. Same with the alcohol, the beer was bad. Take ur own sunblock and mosquito repellent. (mine was repo by the security in the airpot) they charge you at the resort $35 for a small sunblock. and the mosquitos will eat you alive if you dont use mosquito repellent. But everything else was good no complaints, my room was clean. we stayed at the villas on the resort wich we liked after partying at night the next day we wanted to sleep in so it was very quiet. If we had stayed by the main pool there was no way we could have slept in with the loud music on the pool. It was great but I think next time I will try somewhere w a 4 star or better. It was a good experience after all!!!
“Loved it”
Great, chill vibe
“great”
great location, availability of food/drinks great, multiple locations for bar areas, abundance of seating areas, european influence evident, great time
