In my opinion, the resort was OK. I don’t wanna be a person that holds everything to high standards but when you pay $1000 or more, you should get a very good service and not be lied to make people run around often you to give you gifts and welcome gift and you never receive nothing The clean. I stated I stood there for four days. The room only got clean once I only got room service once very bad service not a lot of food choices not a lot of food choices. My recommendation is not to go there my opinion been there once. Never going back again.

1. When I arrived at the hotel around 2:30pm I was told I couldn’t check in unless I pay $10 for adults and $5 for children or just wait at the lobby till 3pm for check in. Then reservations for la carte restaurant had to be done at 8pm. When you go to the office to do the reservation for the restaurant the line is pretty long. The best restaurant they had was the Mexican & the Dominican restaurant very good food.The buffet is very small not a lot of food. The quality of the food is not that great. also not enough staff in the buffet. The shows they have are not that great they are very boring.once it’s 2am there’s no water running they shut it off. They should change management, they need to hire more people.the hotel is pretty, but I won’t stay there again.

Pasamos 2 noches. Nos encantó. Era nuestra segunda visita. Todo muy limpio, comida variada, amplias habitaciones y excelente servicio al huésped por todo el personal del Hotel. Aunque marqué mi estadía excelente, aquí algunos detalles que entiendo podrían tomar en cuenta para mejorar: cuando servían el café nunca ponen cucharitas para moverlo, siempre tuve que pedirlas. En el área de buffet no ponen cucharas, no entendí por qué pero no es parte del arreglo de la mesa. Desorganización en el check in, larga espera, llegamos con mucha antelación y completamos los formularios del protocolo mientras llegaban las 3:00 p.m. hora del check in. Nos acercamos y nos dijeron que nos llamarían por los nombres. Espera y más espera. Atendían otras personas que llegaron en ese momento, grupos de personas que no habían sido llamadas y les hacían el check in. Me acerqué de nuevo al front desk y le digo que tenemos rato esperando ser llamados que qué pasaba pues atendían personas que acababan de llega al hotel antes que a nosotros. Así me atendieron. En el check in 3 estrellas solamente. 5 estrellas para las instalaciones y 02 estrellas para el show nocturno, muy pobre. 05 estrellas para las atenciones del personal al huésped

I honestly never complain about anything and I never do reviews for anything however if this review can help at least one person not waste their money then I’m ok with it. I’m Dominican but I live in the U.S and I decided to stay here with my family and spent over 1k for 4 nights which is a decent price for a “good” resort and this resort is FAR from being good. Their food is TERRIBLE, nothing tastes decent. On top of that we saw a cockroach walking around the food in their snack bar by the beach which had burgers, French fries etc (food tastes disgusting by the way and uncooked) . The beach is dirty we even found broken glass in the sand. They have a kids club and both times I tried to go during their alleged open hours it was closed. I honestly would not recommend it at all.
