Basic terrible

Hotel under construction where upon restaurants not open except buffet. No speciality restaurant open as advertised and when spoken to staff they said Expedia were informed. Free WiFi zone good but if you arrive after 3pm the private company who sell WiFi were not there. Hotel stated it’s private company so could not do anything. No tv working in the room and when asked if an engineer could rectify no staff arrived. Terrible pool. Terrible food. Terrible amenities. Located within residential area. Manager David was good who tried to rectify all the problems which should have not been there in the first place. Restaurant staff good. Front desk staff good. It’s a below basic hotel cannot classify orcas a resort. If desperate then only stay at this hotel. As what’s on the website it’s not there.

This place is beyond unacceptable and disgraceful. First of all No WIFI unless you pay a ridiculous amount per cell phone & per line. The bathrooms are very tiny and our shower over flooded into our room. The restaurant or eating area is always crowded with their own employess as they dont have a separate eating place. Food was just okay. NO RECOMMENDABLE AT ALL. Save a few more buckd and go to a decent and modern place

First off there is only one pool. The second pool with the bar by the water is closed. The food is terrible! To eat you have to make a reservation in certain restaurants. There is only two restaurants a available. One is a buffet restaurant and the other is by reservation, that you can only make at 9 am in the morning. I called at 8:55 am , and they said call back in five minutes in a ride manner. The beach is not that far, but they offer a shuttle. They have three goft cart shuttles but only one driver, that drives around resort to give people rides. There is a whole lot of construction too. Maybe in two years time it will be better. The Expedia representative out in the hotel was one of the only greetable person to us when we were ready to leave the shuttle never came to pick us up. I had to carry all my luggages to the reception area, which was about two blocks from my room.

Difference between what's advertised and what they have available. Site under construction/renewal. Too much dust. Only one swimming pool and one restaurant. Not many choices at the buffet. At least the room was excellent in clean and comfort. Also excellent service by Antonio at the buffet and Barbara at the bar.

I was mislead by the marketing. The hotel was a motel not a hotel. The first day I got there the ac was broken. The food wasn’t great. I thought there were more restaurants, tennis courts, and the pool hours were longer then 9am till 7pm. I should of learned more Spanish because no one was fluent in English. I could go on with complaints but it is what it is.

It was a lovely hotel! Although i wish i wouldve known about the construction going on because there was not enough activities to do in the resort. The food was very good! They served classic Dominican dishes! The internet sucked. It was slow and not free. The rooms and facilities were very clean and the staff is very friendly and worked hard to maintain the facilities clean. Overall I was very satisfied!

The first night we arrive the toilet was overflowing and not working properly. The hotel advertised that there were 7 restaurants but when we got there we where told by staff members that only 2 Restaurants were actually available. One of the restaurants would provide snacks during 3pm-4pm which consist of uncooked hotdogs. There was 1 pool available (even though 3 were advertised). The bar by the pool only had piña coladas available but it was hard to order a drink because my group and I were consistently ignored being ignored by the staff. Overall it was a bad experience and I would not recommend anyone to stay at this resort.
