Saona Natural Pool

Great room, amazing pool, beautiful place.

Beautiful Property, Not a True Luxury Experience At $1,500+ per night, the expectation is a seamless luxury experience. Casa de Campo is visually beautiful, but service and value did not match the price. Check-in required a 25+ minute wait for a “concierge check-in”, while 2 front desk agents remained unoccupied, yet there was no meaningful property overview or proactive assistance. The room was standard at best and consistently humid. We had booked expecting a hot tub, but only select rooms in another section section of the resort have them. Even after a partial adjustment through Expedia, the value was not there. The main pool shows visible wear, and overall upkeep does not reflect a luxury rate. Concierge service lacked initiative. When restaurants were full, we had to prompt alternatives. There was also confusion about what our stay included, despite the high rate, it covered no meals or experiences, only the room and a golf cart. Dining was good overall. Breakfast at Lago stood out thanks to Jael, who delivered the only truly five-star service we experienced. The property and golf course are beautiful, but service precision, clarity, and overall value fall short of true luxury standards.

Beautiful, fun place to stay for our family vacation with our adult kids. This hotel surpassed my expectations. It was clean and smelled amazing everywhere you went. Rooms were gorgeous & comfortable. Ocean was a beautiful temperature & seaweed free, at least at this time of year (Feb). Pools were clean & beautiful, but could be a bit warmer, for my liking. They had more activities & fun things to do than I expected! Only thing missing that we would have liked was tennis or pickleball courts. Restaurants were all good- especially loved the French restaurant (chez rose), the Mediterranean restaurant above the main pool (Huzur) and the Asian hibachi at Seishin. Also really enjoyed food at the buffet, sports bar and Italian restaurant too! Really enjoyed hydrotherapy & a great massage at the beautiful spa! Beach was gorgeous & service there was great! Shows we saw at night were surprisingly great! Michael Jackson show was way beyond any others we’ve seen. And karaoke, dj parties & nightclub were lots of fun too, with great music. Foam party in pool was fun too. Lobby bar & aqua club lounge bar made great drinks for us every night. Special thanks to Angelo, our great beach server, who went above and beyond to keep our beach days comfortable & happy. Also thanks to our butler Smerlyn, who was always happy & eager to help with anything we needed. Staff here are all well-trained to be very friendly & customer service oriented. Would love to return!
