We all agreed 4.5, but only whole numbers allowed so we did 4. All complaints we had were very minor. Patio door that didn't slide well, sales pitch for the membership could have been shorter and more to the point. Lots of people peddling goods on the beach. The good.... staff was super friendly and helpful. Not just some, but every single person. Beach was clean and well maintained. Food was delicious.

I enjoyed my stay very much. Joe the manager was very attentive, kind and helpful. My only suggestion is to have more restaurant availability each night and to have different daily options for breakfast. This was a beautiful hotel, I loved the adult only section and having a coffee cafe was wonderful!

This all inclusive is a very good option in Juan Dolio. The property was well maintained and the room was spotless. The food was good and the staff polite. Unfortunately the beach had some seaweed when we visited so we couldn’t enjoy the beach. Other than that our stay was pleasant.

This was a disappointing experience. The buffet was horrible and the staff kept telling us that regular things like ice cream, chicken, fried cheese, were either not on schedule to come out that day or they had run out. The staff did not try and accommodate us at all. The only thing that saved our trip was the entertainment and that we were with friends and made the best of it. I would not return to this resort. Hard Pass.

Was a bit disappointed with the service. This was my third time staying at emotions and by far the worst service I have experienced here. We paid extra for a room with the swim up pool and did not get to enjoy it until the third day after calling front desk twice requesting for the pool to be cleaned. Our first night we had to call twice to request towels because the room did not have any. Other than that, the coffee shop was as good as always, the beach clean and peaceful and the restaurants were delicious.
