Our stay was incredible. The beach was clean and the staff all work so hard. A few people in particular we loved to see everyday. The restaurants were all great. Buffet was always the last option which was always a hit or miss. A few themed nights were good. The gift shop is well enough stocked and we had to make a few emergency stops there. The drinks were strong and did the job, good service as well. First time in Dominican, was an absolute pleasure. We also booked saona island experience/all day excursion through the resort and was 10/10 (pretty touristy though). The landscapers work very hard and plants looks healthy and lush. Beautiful property

The room was really clean and spacious, the pools were big and deep and the water was clean (and didn't smell like chlorine, wich is a bonus), the food and drinks could have been better, but what took the cake was the staff! The customer service was amazing, they made sure we were always comfortable and had everything we needed, they were so funny and understandable, they made my week! Already planning to come back on october with more family members!

Doesn't deserves the price. All bad experience started with the check in. We paid for ocean view room and was "upgradeed" to a room facing a wall. Pools was cold. Food was bad, one of the kids get sick. Almost impossible to book a restaurant and cooking there was bad too. Worst experience ever. Room also wi bathroom problems. Will never return to this hotel and not recommend for anyone.
