I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff was friendly, and the property was beautiful. One suggestion, I would love to see more of the Dominican Republic’s culture showcased throughout the experience. It would be great to hear more Dominican music, see local art, or have cultural activities that reflect the country’s spirit. That kind of authentic touch would make the stay even more memorable and unique.

The resort was really amazing. The food was great. The pool and beach were great. Just don’t fall for the club in the resort. They will hustle you big time. They said 60 dollars for men with unlimited drinks and women free. Ok cool. Once you go inside the only alcohol that’s free is the cheap no brand name stuff. If you want the good stuff they charge you. For example Black Label 12 bucks a shot. Then in the resort all the stuff is free. Such a scam. Oh by the way the only people that were in the club was mostly workers. Maybe a total of 10 guests all night. Beautiful place but definitely a scam

The property was beautiful and clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The concierge staff inside each building was so helpful with booking dinners and help you with any request you have. The two in building 90 were so helpful and helped have coffee delivered to our room at 6am everyday. Any requests we asked for were met quickly and with a smile. Our room was cleaned spotless everyday. The buffet food was good and the à la carte restaurants were exceptionally delicious!! The one complaint we had was being asked a number of times to join the Privilege Club. We had no Interested but was continually asked to go sit for a presentation. Besides this small factor, everything about the resort was great. We went at a time where the beach wasn't the nicest but the pool definitely made up for it! We stayed in a swim out pool and for the most part we had the whole pool to ourselves for a quick dip. We will definitely be back!

The customer service is top-notch; however, some staff don't know basic English, so have your basic Spanish vocab ready. These people know how to set good vibes and ambiance; get ready to dance and party everywhere! There is something for everyone, for all ages. The only thing I hated about this resort was how easy it was for smokers/vapers to smoke with no shame because the staff did nothing about it, but I saw signs that said no smoking. It was not reinforced. Also, beware of scammers near the ocean selling souvenirs and massages; as soon as they know you are from a rich country, the price goes up significantly!!!
