This is my favorite hotel on the northern coast of DR! In addition to the five star amenities, easy access to the beach and comfort of the rooms, the staff are amazing! Especially Orlando and Emeily at the reception desk, Carlos the bell hop, Chemy at Oak, Luis at the breakfast buffet and Águila in security!

The property is clean and the staff very friendly. It’s a bit dated but you cannot beat the amenities and the location right on the beach. Be prepared to get a lot of sales pressure to listen to timeshare pitch but we will certainly be back.
