Honestly, I loved everything about this resort. The only complains I have is just some of the room smell like mold, although they were very beautiful. The other complaint I have is that the main buffet didn’t have food that tasted good but all the other specialty restaurants the food was amazing. But the Resorts itself was very beautiful very clean, and I would recommend it to anybody.

The only thing I did not enjoy about this property was the beach. Need to invest back into the beach. Also it rained every single day we were here. 7 days of rain and only 3 days of proper sun. I would give this resort a solid 9/10 experience. Room was great, double shower was great, pools, food, staff, everything. You can play volleyball, tennis, go on a lazy river, and go down water slides. The restaurant choices were great as well. Sakura and Margarita were the best ones in my opinion. Buffets had a lot of options, and food was cooked well, seasoned well, and fresh. The desserts were insane!

Beside the place where the cook the food in from of you the other places food was not what I thought it would be . There wasn’t that much to do on the resort u had to leave I feel they should have more beach activities for free like snorkeling other resorts have that for free. Food needs more seasoning if those improve I would rate the resort 10/10. Again the food was okay but can be a lot better I’m from nyc so you know how people from this side of town like there food.

The beach was nice, although be prepared to get harassed every 5 mins by people selling stuff on the beach. Overall service was terrible and the food was really bad. And typically I’m fairly easy to please. Staff is very apathetic and unprepared. Good luck getting room service delivered with anything less that 4-5 calls. And god help you if you injure or cut yourself. I had to ask 10 different staff members where I can get a bandaid and antiseptic, all giving me shrugs. Even the front desk didn’t know. Eventually a woman at guest services pulled one from a small stash in her drawer. I am shocked this is a “4-star” resort. The whole thing feels a “movie set” of a resort — looks the part when you squint from a distance, but inspect any aspect closely and you’ll see there’s no substance.

Great property overall. Stayed at the adults side. Their service was great. If they approach you with a ‘welcome package’; politely decline…. They’re selling you on their vacation club program. Pools are great, and they have activities to keep you entertained throughout your stay (volleyball, tennis, darts, bingo, archery). It wasn’t busy season, so we were able to make reservations at their restaurants that require them. Nothing special about the food, but no complaints about it either. The resort is located far from the main area and other resorts (about 1.5 hour drive to La Romana), so you’re stuck on the property, unless you book excursions. We were only there for four days; then we took a cruise with Norwegian from La Romana for 4 days sailing to Miami with a stop in Puerto Plata. If you’re looking to relax for a number of days, this may be the resort for you.

Beautiful property, great entertainment at the pool, pools were all very clean, plenty of chairs available at all times of the day by the pool. The beach was rocky however the lagoon on the far side was fantastic and so clear. Juan Carlos at the pool was the Best!!! So personable and you could truly tell he enjoyed his job. Food was good and drinks were awesome. Many of the staff could use some training on what hospitality is about from the staff that are extremely good at it. We only experienced one night where our ceiling was leaking (pretty badly) and had difficulty with the front desk addressing the problem. Multiple calls where no one answered and walking to the lobby multiple times to get someone to help us with this. Katrina, at guest services, the next morning was amazing and very apologetic for what we had experienced and Alexander was always around making sure we were happy and having an amazing time. Overall we had a wonderful time.

Great weather and food. Rooms had poor air conditioning that left a musty smell to clothes and couldn’t dry in the room. It was one resort shared restaurants with children, therefore not completely adult only except two pools and 1 buffet. Most a la carte restaurants took over 2 hours to serve the main dish. No group activities on the beach and very rocky beach, high waves. Overall 3.5/5, wouldn’t go back.

Is a family resort with a small Adult only section. A lot of unique amenities like multiple restaurants but appeared insufficient staff to support everything they wanted to do (1 1/2 - 2hr wait for dinners after arrival). General buffet was quite good. Things like mini-bar service was hit or miss, members in my group would get each day, others not for many days. Simply trying to do too much and not fully delivering on most. Gift shop had to be the most expensive shop I've ever visited in my many travels (like $50 US for spray sunscreen or $2 US for two individual Halls (not packages). Location is quite isolated from other resorts/areas, so don't expect to leave/explore. The rooms were nice and well serviced, excellent beds and items like portable steamers for clothes. Overall, not bad but could improve by limiting the restaurants/offerings so that the ones offered were well staffed/operated rather than multiples that don't really meet demand and/or appropriate levels of service.

Supposed to be adults only, and that was not the case, kids everywhere, and only one restaurant was no kids allowed. We have kids, and needed a brake and be around adults only. Entertainment and activity’s(never on time, and had no idea what to do) were not good at all, except the magic show that was great. Food was limited, and the worse part of the trip is the push for Membership(time share) and then after refusal, the rest of the vacation was really in your face that your not a member(even for the towels, they make you go to a different area to get one, because your not a member). The room and restaurants had a really bad smell from mold like smell. I would never go back to any of the properties for this resort.
