The complex was beautiful. The food was really good. Lots of restaurants that were pretty good. The staff was very good. Not a lot of staff proficient in English. There was a concierge at the end off the hall to help with extra towels, room cleaning, restaurant reservations. The rooms were ok. Clean, spacious.

When you book from Expedia , hotel never respect your reservation. They gave my family of five one bed! We reserved two beds and one sofa! This is huge scam happened to us. Everyone asked me to pay USD to them for each question. No access to the restaurant and reservation accepted when you paid extra money to employees! What? Is it all inclusive? It’s big lie. People DO NOT COME HERE IF YOUR HEALTH AND YOUR KIDS ARE VALUABLE FOR YOU!!! People urine in the pool! Mucus in the mouth and Food was seen in the pool. Zero hygiene. Children urinated in the water. The smell of sewage in the bedroom all night caused my child to be poisoned. No cold water in the room. This is a big scam. If you like to die, come here. They told me that if you want to access the service you have to become a member and they kept us in a room like a prisoner for two days until I signed a contract with them for thirty thousand dollars for sixty more trips here!!!! You must be an idiot to repeat such a trip! I told you the truth. Will you understand and believe it or will you pay and leave your physical and mental health in the hands of these scammers? When you enter the dining hall, the stench fills your nostrils and you will remember me. When you vomit from the smell of sewage, you will remember my child.

Very friendly staff. The front desk was very helpful. Each restaurant had a friendly face. The only thing I can complain about is the Dominican night. I been to several hotel in 4 parts of the Dominican Republic. I never paid extra for the Dominican music/ show. In this hotel they made what they call a village where they have the show and little bites of different Dominican foods. The show was good, but I have gotten it for free in the other hotels I been to and the food had more variety Dominican food in the buffet. Other than that my experience was fantastic. My 6 year old loved every minute of it.

While the property was maintained, it clearly showed its age, and the aging infrastructure led to persistent issues. As someone with plumbing experience, the repair process was particularly frustrating; we dealt with leaks/repairs almost daily, yet staff was unqualified to address them. For example I reported a leaking bathtub only for them to replace a toilet valve—a completely unrelated fix. This lack of technical expertise, compounded by a tough language barrier, meant that problems were rarely solved correctly. Furthermore, while the pools were solid, they needed more frequent cleaning, and the trolley system was inefficient due to excessive wait times. Service was also inconsistent, as the abrasive attitude of the front desk staff felt out of place compared to the hospitality found across the resort. The dining experience was a mixed bag, though it contained the highlight of our trip. The buffet was a 6.5/10, suffering from repetition and a lack of high-quality variety. As for the restaraunts the only poor experience was the Greek. Additionally, the snack areas offered very little for those with dietary restrictions. However, the resort excelled in its care for Celiacs. With two Celiacs in our party, the staff’s accommodation was at a minimum 9/10. Every chef was willing to speak with us and prepare dedicated gluten-free meals, providing immense peace of mind. Combined with the fantastic beach, the resort is a strong choice if it can improve maintenance.

The a/c in our room had issues and dripped heavily from the ceiling and on the wall, forming a very large and slippery puddle in the room that required us to throw towels over it, as it took 3 requests and over 6 hours to have it fixed. Most of the staff is not as friendly as you would expect to find at this type of resort, although there were a few standout staff members that were friendly and welcoming, but only at the Il Paradiso and Garden Circus restaurants. Many of the staff members appear to be lacking trainining or aptitude, as they are unable to answer basic questions regarding resort schedules, locations, etc. (if you ask different staff members the same question, you will get different answers from each one). VIP access was an issue, as staff members from other hotels were not aware of how it worked and they denied access the first couple of days of our stay. We had scheduled assistance with our luggage for checkout with the concierge, but nobody showed up and we had to carry our luggage down the stairs from the 3rd floor (there is no elevator in the building) and all the way to the other building where the lobby is. Overall, the place is very pretty and there is plenty of entertainment, but there were many details that could have been better.
