    ...The rooms were absolutely disgusting, with a strong, unpleasant smell that made it impossible to sleep the first night. To make matters worse, my room was on the first floor and the balcony was completely in the open, meaning anyone from outside could just walk in into the room... What's even more frustrating is that there was no safe in the room unless you paid an extra three dollars per night... Mind you, the hotel was practically empty... Puerto Plata has better hotels around the area believe me...

    ...it was hours of fun and I walked out with 130% more then I walked in with, it's a safe casino When buying anything they start high so Hagel the price down If you want things cheaper then the stores on site walk down the beach to your right for about 10 min you will hit a market, The buffet is all well cooked food with lots of flavor and a little different then I'm used to I love trying new things so I had to eat it all With a large dessert and icecream selection So far the buffet has been the same every day except for the meat in the back As far as Brazilian restraint,it was a buffet ( same items as the reg buffet) But with better lighting and services, the main food items are the chicken, sausage, beef, and pork they bring to the table and cut it off a rotisserie skewer right onto your plate It comes with 3 restaurants and the 4th one is 50us each for a 3 course meal on site There are also 2 other restaurants in front of the resort for $ Our room is big and spacious with a nice fan Ac and heat The bathroom has a half bathtub so you won't fit if you were planning on running yourself a bath, We got the top floor so we can hear the hum of the roof top Ac unit They also did not care to patch the hole in the roof from a previous leak With that all said the bed was perfect not too soft and not too hard, lots of pillows and 3 sheets to Crowl into The rooms are lacking a lamp it's on or off for the room lights, which made it harder to set the mood...

    I just had the worst experience at this hotel and I feel compelled to share it with all of you... What's even more frustrating is that there was no safe in the room unless you paid an extra three dollars per night... I thought this was supposed to be an all-inclusive hotel, but apparently, that only applies to certain overpriced amenities like VIP... Even calling for in-room dining resulted in an additional charge for the meal, which is only for overpriced VIP guests... When I asked about the food options, since the buffet was terrible with limited selections, I was told that all three restaurants were fully booked... It became clear that they want to buy the Overpriced VIP package... I have over 250k followers on social media, and I will definitely be letting them know to never, under any circumstances, stay at this hotel... I would’ve preferred to a little extra and not stay here... Puerto Plata has better hotels around the area believe me...

    ...Sunwing should be made to check the criteria before posting 4.5 🌟... Brazilian restaurant served weiners on a skewer as well as canned ham in a square block on a skewer are you kidding me?... And the exact food is served in the buffet and its not good either way!... Last be live punta cana had sushi, prosciutto, bacon and fried chicken none of that here at all!!... Been to cuba 30 years and sadly some of the places there that were 2 star are better than this!... My advice this is a 2 star cuban at best if your looking for more steer clear or re arrange your star criteria Sunwing!...

    We were a group of 7 and overall had a great experience here... Rooms were cleaned daily with fresh towels and mini fridge restocked... We went to the lobby around 9:30 am our first morning there and had no issues booking all 3 restaurants for the nights and times we wanted (although the a la cartes are only open certain days of the week so need some flexibility)... As a vegetarian i was not looking forward to the Brazilian but they had a salad bar that was kept me happy while my friends ate different kinds of meat... The sandwich/panini station at lunch was a personal favourite... Some of our group also took a taxi from the resort to Cabarete ($70 USD return trip) and did some surfing, which they all enjoyed...

VIP service also entitles you to unlimited a la carte dining... We received excellent service from a young woman named Marlen, she made sure we got the reservations we wanted and always followed up to make sure we were having a great time...

    ...Aside from the daily program, various games in and out of the pool and at the beach, they are continuously talking to guests and ensuring that they are enjoying their stay. Shout out to Mosquito for making our stay particularly enjoyable... Also, Bladimir, Alexander, Yancarlos, Capuchino, Jose, Ricky, Angi and Meralis for all their hard work... We had a great time and would return purely for the dedication this team has to making our family feel welcomed to this hotel...

    The staff, especially Evelin at the VIP lounge and Garson, the bartender who spent a lot of time working the pool bar during our stay, were both fantastic! Very helpful, friendly and yet professional... The Mediterranean and Brazilian restaurants were fantastic, service and food... The front end staff were very patient with us checking on our missing luggage from Toronto, several times a day and night, we appreciated their not giving up...

The resort must be proud to have him in that position... We are very thankful to all the stuff but in particular to Evelyn and Johaira's kindness... To Winston from Brasillian Restaurant, Carlos from Mylos and Jose from Mexican restaurant... All bartenders were pleasant, one of them called me Miss soda because I was drinking lots of soda...

We did a small upgrade to VIP and in using the VIP lounge met 3 wonderful ladies - Marien, Evelyn and Johaira who were always pleasant and greeted you with a smile...

The personnel at the bar were kid friendly and my kids were able to go get their drinks on their own with no issues... We were introduced to a man that called himself HAPPY which offered us a free pizza to get us in a room to talk about their VIP program... They only have one restaurant open; it is first come first serve and you must make a reservation the day before at 8am and you must wait on a line and if seats are filled up before you get to the front of the line you are not able to reserve for that day or book the next day...

    We had a wonderful time, we enjoyed the resort, the pool and beach... The drinks were delish, food was good and restaurants were good as well, some of the meat was dry from being over cooked, but better over then under cooked... The staff were all friendly, the cooks at the buffet were wonderful and cooked a fish we caught while fishing... The Chef did a great job and also provided a side dish of vegetables to go with our fish... It was clean, some maintenance issues but not terrible...

    ...Rooms were cleaned daily with fresh towels and mini fridge restocked. My room was on the third floor and the A/C had a bit of trouble keeping up but with the A/C and the fan going, it was fine... Our friends one floor below had A/C that worked very well... Pool: i really liked the setup - the different sections of the one pool meant there were lots of lounging spots (and lots of loungers free) and never seemed too crowded... Beach: Lots of shade and loungers on the beach and we spent some time there, although it was windy the week we went so pretty much every day was a red flag day so security would blow a whistle at anyone who went in... We went to the lobby around 9:30 am our first morning there and had no issues booking all 3 restaurants for the nights and times we wanted (although the a la cartes are only open certain days of the week so need some flexibility)... As a vegetarian i was not looking forward to the Brazilian but they had a salad bar that was kept me happy while my friends ate different kinds of meat... I was impressed with the fact that most meals had beans or lentils that could be added to rice... The sandwich/panini station at lunch was a personal favourite... The driver first took us to some other tourist sites and shops but overall it was neat to explore...

    ...The resort was small compared to some we have been at but it was exactly what we were looking for to enjoy some R&R. The rooms were clean and well kept as were the grounds and all the food and beverage areas... We upgraded to the VIP service and we were glad we did... VIPs have access to a small but very nice private lounge and an adults only area one the beach with day beds and a separate bar... VIP service also entitles you to unlimited a la carte dining... We received excellent service from a young woman named Marlen, she made sure we got the reservations we wanted and always followed up to make sure we were having a great time... The buffet dining room was very nice and the food quality was good... Our waiter Luigi was very attentive and the food and beverage manager and the sommelier came by to make sure we were enjoying our evening... We later found out that if we had requested it we could have had our room sprayed while we were out during the day...

    ...We booked it because of all the activities it says it has, We learned they have it on site but it's not included Only water sports that are included are snorkeling and kayaking, everything else is extra They do not have sailing or windsurfing Kiteboarding is $60 an hour for lessons and they don't have gear just to use,if you already know how Jet ski is 120 for 30 min Room Safe is 3 us a day to use If you want to play pool it's 3us per game air hockey is 2us per game You can play foose ball and ping pong for free They have one large pool with no swim up bar All in all if you're coming to just drink this is your place. With 2 bars and a night club/ inside bar I highly recommend buying a reusable mug once here... it was hours of fun and I walked out with 130% more then I walked in with, it's a safe casino When buying anything they start high so Hagel the price down If you want things cheaper then the stores on site walk down the beach to your right for about 10 min you will hit a market, The buffet is all well cooked food with lots of flavor and a little different then I'm used to I love trying new things so I had to eat it all With a large dessert and icecream selection So far the buffet has been the same every day except for the meat in the back As far as Brazilian restraint,it was a buffet ( same items as the reg buffet) But with better lighting and services, the main food items are the chicken, sausage, beef, and pork they bring to the table and cut it off a rotisserie skewer right onto your plate It comes with 3 restaurants and the 4th one is 50us each for a 3 course meal on site There are also 2 other restaurants in front of the resort for $ Our room is big and spacious with a nice fan Ac and heat The bathroom has a half bathtub so you won't fit if you were planning on running yourself a bath, We got the top floor so we can hear the hum of the roof top Ac unit They also did not care to patch the hole in the roof from a previous leak With that all said the bed was perfect not too soft and not too hard, lots of pillows and 3 sheets to Crowl into The rooms are lacking a lamp it's on or off for the room lights, which made it harder to set the mood...

    Cappuccino and the activities staff were awesome, fun, friendly and the shows were a fun variety... Pool and beach were great, staff were friendly and helpful... Our room was near the theatre and we could hear all the announcements by the pool as well as the people in the hall... The website and signs say that lounge chairs can’t be reserved but every day there were people who put their items on lounge chairs ( especially in the shaded area) and left for breakfast so that was frustrating... The buffet restaurant had a nice variety of food... Desserts were great, and atmosphere friendly... I liked how close everything was in proximity to each other- restaurant pool theatre reception etc...

Serious safety incident
Good points: Clean, nice pool, nice beach, friendly housekeeping staff. Family wedding was well attended to and the only good meal we had. OK points: Wi-Fi is sketchy but available. Burgers at the Snack Bar. Pasta station at buffet (only eat this). Bad points: Resort is tired and outdated. Do not believe the pics! Aggressive sales people in the shops that will harass you every time you walk by and completely overcharge you if you let them. Housekeeping cleans the room in stages which is extremely inconvenient. Most other staff is completely indifferent. Buffet was TERRIBLE, bland, gooey, slimy, wet, unidentifiable mystery meats/dishes. Waitress said to another while taking away my plate "she eats like a child" in Spanish thinking I wouldn't understand. Couldn't stomach most of the food. Restaurants only open in rotation, good luck getting a reservation if you are not a VIP. All inclusive alcohol is bottom shelf and sketchy AF. Excursion Tours will take you to every trap there is in hopes you will spend your last dollar. Apparent and blatant prostitution of both young men & women throughout the resort. DISGUSTING & SCARY!!! Bring Imodium and Hydralyte...you will probably get the squits. But the absolute worst part was the aggressive, predatory nature of some of the bartenders preying on young women who thought they were just being resort friendly until they tried to force themselves on our daughters. Yes, they took a report as we were waiting for our bus back to the airport, too little too late. Worst trip of my life. DO NOT GO TO THIS RESORT....EVER!!!!

The good: The first evening was by far the best. We had a waiter, Jose Rodriguez, what a fine young man. He kept us entertained. We were upgraded to block 4 which had an ocean view. The resort was only 22% full. Nice pool, rooms were very clean. I like a small resort, so this was perfect. We met some lovely people vacationing, and the staff is very hospitable and friendly. Thank you Sexy Belly for all the fun things to do. The house keeping staff and the Dining hall staff were outstanding. Friendly, attentive, respectful, and a pleasure to interact with. Our WIFI was fine. The bad: Lighting is an issue!!! The paths are slippery, there is little light to see at night. I took a terrible fall on the first night from the stairs by the Snack Bar. The ground was uneven and the lighting was non existent. I found out when I got home that I broke my shoulder. The rest of the week was a write off. I was in so much pain, and being in the medical field, I knew I had either torn a ligament, or tendon. I knew the medical clinic couldn't help. Jose, checked on me every day. The area that I fell needs to be repaired. There needs to be more lights, the ground needs to be leveled out. It is a prime area for disaster. The food is not good. The snack bar, and mylos was the only restaurants that were ok. The buffet was horrible!! Only one ala cart was open a night and had to reserve by 8 am every morning. That was difficult as I wasn't able to get out of bed that early due to my injury. Never got to the Mediterranean unfortunately. The fridge was not stocked, we asked for diet pop, the hotel had none and when they did, it ran out quickly. The beach is rough, so the sand is always full of seaweed. I didn't get into the ocean due to my shoulder injury. We flew air transit and were promised coupons for various things. First of all no coupons, and the staff had absolutely no idea and said they would look into it. We never did get them. The weekend was a nightmare, the floodgates open Friday afternoon and the hoard of local Dominicans take over the resort. They have no respect, trash left everywhere. They ate food like they haven't been fed in a month. There is also construction going on, so there was some construction noise early in the mornings. So in closing, I do hope they do something about the path lighting, stairs need to be illuminated. Signs should be put up for hazardous areas. This is NOT a 4.5 level resort. More like a 3. The resort is pretty, but services need upgrading

My husband and I love to stay at this hotel. We’ve been staying there for over 30 years. Their customer service is excellent. It’s a family friendly place. Mr Diomedes Soriano Aka Mosquitos is so pleasant that goes beyond excellence. Mr. Liriano is very attentive. He greets everyone with a smile and makes you like at home. He treats his staff with respect. Staff always work with a smile on their face. Highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is very suitable to be with the family, the beach is also very beautiful, the rooms are spectacular, the shows are very good. My only problem was when I found out that the young man from sexy belly animation was falling in love with my daughter she only have 16 years, they have to pay attention to that boy
