Check in took 2 hours. We had to stand in a long line, it was very hot. When I got to the desk I asked was the wait usually this long they completely ignored me. Our room keys stopped working multiple times through out the stay. Each time they would say it can’t get wet or go near phones, which we weren’t doing anyway. I noticed several others had to keep getting new rooms keys as well. The casino and rooms smelled like mildew. Again when this was brought to the front desk attention they ignored us. I ended up getting sick on the last day of the trip. My friend was told she could not bring me a piece of bread out of the buffet area even though I was sick. We booked a shuttle and almost missed it due to miscommunication on the hotel workers. I will not be staying at this resort again.

The outside grounds were beautiful, the pool, the ocean, the landscaping. The resort itself is very old and nothings been updated for 24 yrs. The shower drizzled on you and was usually luke warm, if that. I killed 2 cockroaches in my room. The food was not desirable at all. The best thing was the little pizzeria but you would wait up to 2hrs for your food(not exaggerating) The communication was extremely difficult being that they all speak spanish and we speak English, google translate was a life saver, literally, because my son has a food allergy and it was almost impossible to find out what was ok for him to eat. He lived on pizza and quesadillas for 10 days.

The rooms are very spacious, clean & serviced everyday. The food & drinks is very good at all their restaurants with excellent service.

Una estafa de hotel si quieren saber la realidad lean todos los review en la página. La comida es un desastre no sirve ni el refresco, El AC de las habitaciones tampoco sirve actualmente estoy hospedada en el hotel y es la cuarta vez que cambio de habitación sin ninguna mejora al contrario cada día es algo nuevo hoy amanecimos sin agua en el hotel entero. Es un infierno y cada review de la aplicación de expiria está en la realidad máxima. Las habitaciones son viejas los baños oxidados golpe a humedad un desastre realmente me arrepiento de no haber hecho caso a los review.

El servicio de limpieza en el cuarto es excelente. Fuera de ahí, el servicio es horrible. No tienen personal atendiendo en la piscinas tienes que salir hasta la barra. El buffet tiene una espera de entre 30@60 minutos y los huéspedes locales se cuelan y no hay control alguno, hasta una pelea hubo en el area de la piscina. Muy poco personal. The cleaning service in the room is excellent. Outside of that, the service is horrible. They don't have staff serving at the pools, you have to go out to the bar. The buffet has a wait time of between 30-60 minutes and local guests sneak in and there is no control whatsoever, there was even a fight in the pool area. Not enough staff.

Our family had previously stayed at this property six years ago. Although the food six years ago was less than desirable, the property itself was decent and the beach outstanding! I was beside myself over the condition and deterioration of this property in the six years since we had last been there. We had booked four rooms and two suites all with dilapidated conditions. The customer service was awful. The lack of cleanliness in the rooms…disgusting. It wasn’t just one of our rooms in that condition…they all were, even the suites. The frustrating part, the resort could have cared less. We had booked third-party through Expedia, therefore had some difficulty in trying to book another Property to go to..that is how bad we all wanted to leave. The staff was rude and less than helpful….and not just once…this was the norm. Nielsen was the only staff member who tried to make us feel welcomed and went above and beyond for my family. We truly appreciate his kindness. This experience will keep us from ever going back to the Dominican again.
