Three Eyes National Park

Pros: the resort is beautiful! All staff were polite, professional and friendly. The gym was great. Their spa was amazing. Room was spacious and clean. Enjoyed the coffee cafe, had really tasty cappuccino there. The buffet had plenty of food and loved the variety. The ox tails were simply divine! Also love how the Dominican people enjoy their own resorts. They were right along side of us, it was a pleasure getting to know them. Cons: if you check in on the weekend, it’s chaotic. We were rushed and hurried. We weren’t told about the tv QR code that gives more information about the resort. The buffet was good on weekend when busy but not so much during the week. Bread and pastries were dry and recycled. Beach became full of sargassum. But the worst is the rolling blackouts. All throughout our stay the electricity kept going on and off anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. It got pretty annoying, especially while showering or working out at the gym. The blackouts are why I have to give 3 stars. My first time in DR. The resort is nice but I probably won’t return when I go back. It’s pretty far from everything as well. We spent a lot of money on transportation to explore Santo Domingo.

NOT 420 Friendly!! The pool temperature was disgustingly hot! I understand it’s July, but the pool water was as hot as the hot tub. The lagoon water had jellyfish. I’m familiar with other resorts and travel months and they have been cooler and refreshing! When you arrive you’re forced to make dinner reservations for your entire trip if you want to go to one of the restaurants. Because of this limitation we gave 4 stars in the hotel lobby kiosk. AND SOME OF THEM THEY HAVE KIDS AT THEM! The very next morning- they woke us up with a call asking how to get that 5th star?? The entertainment was so so. They did a disco night and none of the entertainment team knew how to dance it; however, they had the Dance Fever motion down. Spanish is the language. Very few people speak English.

Excellent destination!
