Food at the buffet was great, the bartender at the wet bar makes the most delicious coco loco. The least faborite was the Dominican restaurant. The wait staff was rude, they kept forgetting our food and although the restaurant was not packed, the eait times were looooong. Other than the restaurante, the service, staff, cleaning crew and bartenders were awesome. Would definitely recommend.

Unfortunately this hotel is average. Dominicans in general have the worst customer service ever. The food was average (always the same). We saw roaches at the Italian restaurant. The waiters are terrible. You’ve to go and get your own drinks. Be ready to serve yourself if you want to get good service haha. Cleaning was average. The main pool was ok. Entertainment was okay. I’ve traveled with 2 kids (10&8) the water park in this hotel was for toddlers. The shows were boring only few were good. We’re not coming back. At least this hotel is not for us. The beach has a lot of seaweed and the smell omg. They’re not maintaining the access to the beach. Very disappointing because the beach is beautiful. No nos gusto este hotel. La pasamos bien, pero no fue lo que esperabamos!

Bueno en General. La transportación de carritos dentro del hotel no es muy eficiente, ya que el hotel es grande y para desplazarse hay que esperar a que pasen a llevarte. Es necesario planificarse para no llegar tarde a las reservaciones. Los carros no están claramente identificados.El cuarto limpio y con el equipo estándar de hotel, aunque el aire acondicionado no enfría muy bien y la mini-nevera, tampoco. Los empleados fueron amables y respetuosos. La calidad de la comida en el buffet es buena, pero los restaurantes especializados ofrecen una calidad regular, bastante básica y la espera en ocasiones fue larga. El entretenimiento y los shows, aunque sencillos, son buenos y los bailarines son talentosos!! El ambiente muy pasivo para nuestro gusto. La playa no sirve, demasiado sargazo. Nuestros dos adolescentes no tenían muchas alternativas, aparte de la piscina, por lo que se aburrieron con facilidad. La zona exterior del hotel estaba sucia debido a la gran cantidad de construcciones en las áreas circundantes. Realmente es mejor quedarse dentro del hotel, y si se sale, que sea para algún tour, fuimos a los Buggies. Son agresivos en la oferta de los planes Privilege de la cadena hotelera; no son claros cuando te invitan asistir a una orientación de 1 hora que en realidad es para vender un plan exclusivo y bastante costoso. Los vendedores son hábiles y manejan la situación para que se te dificulte rechazar la oferta.Todo estuvo bien, pero optaremos por opción en el futuro.

My overall experience was okay . Staff was amazing though. They really made us feel welcomed and went above and beyond for us . I wouldn’t return to this hotel due to the air conditioning . We spend a lot of money coming on vacation and all we want at the end of a long day in the sun is to come to a hotel room that’s cold. If this changes in the future I’d reconsider coming back. Next vacation we will consider a different resort.

The highlight of the Hotel was the Taino restaurant. Both the cuisine and the ambiance were outstanding. The hotel's transportation system is perplexing, and the wait times are lengthy. Occasionally, the staff instruct you to wait while they arrange transport to the main entrance, but they often neglect to inform you when it is ready, resulting in the transport leaving without you and necessitating another wait.
