We booked through Beach Destinations. Let me start by saying we are very outgoing and laid back individuals. We do not expect the best of the best and realize that different countries have different ways of life so we are open minded. I am also fluent in Spanish so I was able to communicate with these people. As far as... more

Went for a short dive trip and decided to book on this hotel, having previous experience from other Barceló Hotels in Costa Rica. While the "all included concept" it's the same, the quality in NOT. Lack of important basic touristic information on desk. Many of the employees are not friendly or do not apreciate their job. I cought one of... more

The resort is old but quaint. Our room was adequate. Did have difficulty with getting enough towels and wash cloths. But we did have hot water. We thought the beach was very nice. The weather was very warm but pleasant. The problem is with the food. The buffet food was barely edible. If it had not been for the pasta... more

OK, here goes nothing! 4 girls, aged 30 to 33, and this was our second fall holiday together, last year being Cancun. We booked 8 days, Wednesday through Wednesday, all-inclusive including transportation to and from the airport for $703 each, so we knew it wasn't going to be anything extraordinary. Leading into the trip, we checked tripadvisor daily, but there... more

The Domincian Republic seems like a lovely place to go on holiday - me and my friend went for a week - 2 English girls in our 20s. The beach is beautiful and at this resort you can go walking along the beach in either direction for quite a while. But the beach and the beer were the only nice... more

We stayed at the resort from 10/3/08-10/11/08 and the stay was…rocky. It is true that the locals come and spend the entire weekend. They are very noisy and most do not speak English. Yes, the cut in line and take over the swimming pools but there is always the beach. It is important to note that the food changes when... more

We got to the resort Sat. evening, everything they say about the locals coming in on the weekends is true. There were over 100 locals there at the resort both weekends we stayed. It is very busy and loud during that time, they take over everything. The food even changes on the weekends catering to them. Sunday night they leave... more

i have to agree with most of the reviews on here. The hotel itself is really nice - a lot smaller than most resorts in the Dominican Republic. Its nice and quiet and has lovely views etc. However, the locals that arrive every weekend with weekend passes totally ruin the experince for the rest of the holidayers. Theres no room... more

We did not book this hotel, but ended up staying here anyway when our travel agent booked us into the wrong hotel. We were here for 4 days in February before we got moved to the proper hotel. I was NOT happy to be staying at this hotel - since we had paid and booked a 4 star hotel, this... more
