If you love people, music and lots to do then you will enjoy this. If you’re like me and want to listen to the birds with your morning coffee and have some quiet space go somewhere else. The noise level is rarely below 60 decibels. I was next door to the gym and the outdoor music started at 6:15 am. Restaurants were between 70 and 80 decibels. Each pool is louder than the last. The beach is packed and there you get not only the resort music but everyone’s personal speaker’s blasting in all directions. I was in one of the newer rooms and it was nicely appointed aside from being unable to enjoy any quiet time on the balcony. You will gets lots of walking in. I averaged 20,000 per day. Apparently the adult only area is quiet but they were full when I was there. I will opt for Melia if I return to Punta Cana. Way more my style.

We had the Junior Suite. Our room had bugs in it. We called twice no one came. We went to guest services to report it, they said someone will come and no one ever came. The buffet staff were extremely rude, daily. The front desk staff was not knowledgeable about included services offered to guest. Lobby bell man was rude. The bell man was upset because we didn’t use their recommended transportation. But I informed them that I had been asking for 2 days on getting assistance with airport transportation. And I wasn’t going to cancel my guaranteed ride. They went as far to stop my transport from coming on the property. I had to go to the front desk to tell them to let him on. Besides the staff, the property overall was nice and clean. The pool areas were great! ALL bartenders were pleasant and entertaining. Flames restaurant staff were great! As far as entertainment, I should have did more research on the resort. I believe the resort is for an older crowd and more popular to natives.
System won’t allow me to upload the videos I have for my review proof. It only allows still photos.

My wife and I were very disappointed with our overall experience at the resort. Check‑in took almost 30 minutes, even though the line wasn’t very long and there were plenty of staff members walking around. The room cleanliness was poor. Housekeeping only replaced the towels and made the bed, but the bedroom and bathroom floors remained dirty throughout our entire stay. Aside from the entertainment team, most of the staff were not friendly and service was consistently slow during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The resort allows you to book one restaurant for every three days of your stay, but reservations appear to be fully booked even though many tables sit empty when you arrive. In the shopping areas, the guys in front of the stores keep following you inside the store, and pushing you buy things. Lastly, when we went to Flame, we waited 30 minutes before anyone took our order, and the waiter only came after we called him over.
