“Cockroach Haven”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed April 29, 2012

We stayed in a beach front junior suite . This was from April13 to APRIL 27 The first problem that arose was that the room keys continually wouldn't open the door.Maintenance was called in and still every time we struggled to enter. The maid only changed towels and made up our bed but no cleaning was done.We even spoke to reception concerning this and still no improvement.The most upsetting aspect of this is that we kept seeing cockroaches on the bathroom floors. Drinks were swill, cheap booze and wine from a plastic jug. The food was just O.K. This is the forth time that we have visited the Dominican Republic and are sorry to say that if this is the typical standard that we would have to expect ,another time we wouldn't be going back.

Room Tip: The junior suites are good for access to the beach but bring a good pair of walking shoes because yo...

“The Service Sucked”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed April 21, 2012

The beach was very nice,but like most of the dominican,there were people hounding you to buy stuff every 5 minutes. The service sucked, too many people and not enough bar tenders. i gave out over 300 dollars in tips,to the ones that deserved them.when the bartenders served all the people behind me and still made me wait, they didnt get any tip you have to earn a tip where i come from.On the other hand the waitresses were very nice,the maids did a good job. Its a good thing they had a self serve bar for pop and beer.They Cater to the French ,If you cant speak it dont go.You will wait for your drink everytime.

“Beautiful Beach and thats it!!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed April 19, 2012

Well we were there from april 7 to the 14th,2012. When we arrived we had to wait for our room which really didnt bother us. we were in room 1204.it was acceptable.
From the moment we arrived the bar service sucked big time....always served us last and the night before we left there were 5 bar tenders and they just wouldnt serve me....the guy at the front desk came over and served me and yelled at them in spanish.
When i pay for all inclusive I expect all inclusive.
It was over runned by the french...very rude and ignorrant people......Im half french myself and I have never seen so many rude people in my life!!!! Infact there was a french lady that said she was ashamed of the french and how they acted there.
My hubby travel all the time and never experienced anything like this. We will not go back and we would not reccomand this resort to anyone unless they are fluent french and rude then thats the place for you!!!!
The only thing this resort has going for it is the beach and the mexican and gormet a la cartes they were awsome...but the buffet was nothing more then a cuba buffet with alittle bit more varity.
One bar opens another closes and no 24 hrs like i was told.
The noulitours rep only there half hour and not everyday eiother and if there are more people to talk to them you have to wait until they come back......I will not go via noulitours again...even she (maria) had to get permission to speak english to me?????whats with that?????
well if you go just dont say you weren't warned...because I told you so!!!!!
