"I’ve been to the Dominican Republic many times and stayed at both high-end luxury resorts like Secrets, as well as more budget-friendly resorts like Catalonia Bávaro. I’ve also stayed at Lopesan, and unfortunately this resort would probably rank last for me. In my opinion, it’s definitely not a true 5-star resort — although there were still some positives.
Pros:
• The hotel was consistently clean
• Staff were overall friendly and fairly helpful
Cons:
• This side of Punta Cana has a significant amount of seaweed. If having a beautiful beach is important to you, I’d recommend visiting Saona Island or staying closer to Bávaro Beach instead.
• Food selection was quite limited. I’d rate the adults-only side around a 2/5, while the main resort restaurants were closer to a 3.5/5.
• The rooms showed a lot of wear and moisture damage. We noticed many room doors throughout the resort that were visibly damaged and in need of repair.
• Nightlife was very underwhelming — most things seemed to shut down around 10:30 PM.
Overall, it wasn’t a terrible experience, but I personally wouldn’t consider this a 5-star resort. I’d rate it closer to a 3.5-4 star at best, and I don’t think it was worth the $2,600 price point. Personally, I’d choose Lopesan or spend a bit more money for a higher end experience.
Cheers"
