If you get a great deal on this resort, go but be relaxed about minor problems. The good- beautiful beach if you don't mind big waves. Not for children. We enjoyed it. Nice, well, kept grounds, beautiful pools, Presidente beer is very good. Plenty of food, some pretty good some just okay. Staff is very friendly. Large room. The spa... more

I arrived 9-12-09 and was supprised at the reception very nice (for the money). All inclusive the only bit about all inclusive is you are tagged like birds. You have to were this tag where ever you go. I managed to take it off at night to sleep. You can drink and eat what you want. There is a bar... more

This is by far the worst hotel I have ever checked into. The members' area is about 10-15 min from the beach. The grounds are not cleaned, the pool was always dirty and never cleaned. The buffet did not have many choices and the few they had were really bad. There was no existing service in the restaurants. You literally... more

The title says it all, the hotel was too big for its own good. Beaches were beautiful and the a la cartes were amazing, but everything was crowded and impersonal. It was a long trek to get anywhere and it was difficult to find anything. BEACH The Bavaro beach is absolutely beautiful! Exactly what you picture a Carribean beach to... more

Food was great, way better than I expected from a buffet,I found multiple things I liked at every meal. I really liked the barb'q close to the beach. There is a bar near... more
