There was a large amount of mosquitoes found in the room. To resolve the situation I was given a spray can of raid. The electrical outlets weren’t working, and you can’t lock the bathroom door. None of the restaurants were cool, most were open to the outside. Everyone complained about the heat and lack of air conditioning. I was actually sweating while eating dinner, especially at the steakhouse where you have to make a reservation. This is not a 5 star resort.

Rooms need updating. Food mediocre. I was expecting the food to be much better - disappointing. Resort itself and the beach was clean and pretty

This was our 4th time in the Dominican as a family of 4 with two kids ages 6 and 8. The pros about this resort is the pools, their are many of them so we were able to find pool chairs fairly easily. The ac in our room worked great and the mini bar set up in our room was the first of seen where there were full bottles of rum and vodka hung against the wall for easy consumption. For the cons, the food was not that great. It was basic and definitely not comparable to the other resorts we’ve stayed at. Speciality restaurants were buffets. The shower towels smelled horrible and weren’t replaced regularly. House keeping didn't show up 3 times out of our 8 night stay. Overall for the price it wasn’t a bad place to stay all inclusive but next time we will try somewhere different.

Overall, the property was nice staff was nice food was good. I didn't have high expectations because of other reviews I had read. Was surprised with the resort during the stay it was nice. Last night we stayed woke up to a rat in our bathroom. It came up through the shower drain. Staff didn't believe me about the rat until maintenance came to remove it. Thought for sure the guy was going to die when he saw it. They killed it in our bathroom, never cleaned the bathroom after. Good thing we were leaving that morning. Left everything that was in the bathroom to be thrown out. Walked to the lobby to use main bathroom after. When speaking to management about it they didn't seem to care. All they said was sorry about that. Will never be returning.
