Basic business hotel, good for the first night in the country.

Upon arrival bathroom was dirty, but this was immediately rectified.

Would benefit from a pool - however, it is possible to buy a day pass for the neighbouring Larimar resort for 58 dollars per day - and this is a rather nice all inclusive resort.

I would say the price is probably justified given the high price of meals in this town. It includes either Buffett or very nice specialty restaurants - only the Japanese costs extra.
The beach is a dream in this location, wide, clean, protected by a large ear, and ideal for children, sloping very slowly.

We stayed here for 4 nights, as we arrived DR. It is close to the Punta Cana Airport - taxi costs about 30 US$ (taxis is expensive in DR).
The hotel is quite new and the rooms spacious and very clean.
Breakfast is very good and it is possible to have it outside.
Once I had dinner at the restaurant and it was very good and well served and for only $ 14.
Twice we bought all inclusive for the Now Hotel, which is situated right beside. It costs $58 p/p and is worth it. Good food and good drinks.
For free it is possible to have a bracelet for beeing allowed to go to the beach and the swimmingpools and have towels at Now Hotel.
We had a room at the first floor and had some problems with noice from the room above us (and you can hear noice from the corridor as well), we therefore asked for a room at the highest floor, but that wasn't possible, because that floor was reservated for special guests as flight personnel.
As we checked out we had a nearly unreadable invoice, but we found out that we were charged for a meal we did not have. It took a very long time to have that mistake sorted out, but we succeeded at last.
If you want to go to further on to Santo Domingo it is possible to go by local bus to Bavaro, costs about 100 local $ for two and takes about 15 minutes. From there you can go by another big and comfortable bus to Santo Domingo. It costs 400 local $ p/p and takes 3 hours. Only thing to remember: it's cold inside the bus and the music is very loud.

This hotel is only about 8 months old I was told. The rooms are gorgeous - very well designed with the toilet and bidet area separate from the shower and the sink area. The bed is huge and comfy. There is no pool or beach access. If you want that, you can pay $58 per day to use the pool and go to the beach at the hotel next door (Larimar). Or you can go to other beaches on your own at no cost. The breakfast buffet is beautifully set up and there is an enormous selection of food choices. They'll even make a white egg only omelet!! There is free wi-fi and a computer downstairs for guests to use. I didn't need or want the all-inclusive type resort so this hotel was perfect for me. Lunch and dinner are available at the hotel a la carte but are a little pricey in my opinion. The only thing I would say they should work on is familiarizing themselves better with the tourist attractions and how to get there. I think the staff was still too new to know everything they need to know and they don't all live in Punta Cana so I think that contributes to not knowing everything. Example, I asked one of the receptionists about visiting Manati Park and was told that it would cost $18 each way by taxi. I had my DR guide with me which said that there is a free shuttle service that picks up tourists from the hotels and takes them back. I'm so glad I found that out!!!! Booking on line got me half the price of booking directly with the hotel.

I stayed here because the other resorts was sold out! The pictures are exactly what you will see when you arrive. I love how warm the workers are and professional they carry themselves. The breakfast is great. I like how there's a resort next door so if we want to we can pay for access. The hotel itself is wonderful the location is okay since a lot of resorts are there. Lovely stay!
