    We were expecting a good hotel but not expecting a big, luxury all bells and whistles hotel as the price was very good, especially considering the area and beach location, but it's definitely a good hotel with good rooms and nice swimming pools...

The TV wouldn’t turn on, the digital key was finicky and on and off worked, the phone in the room didn’t work to call front desk so we had to walk back and forth numerous times, the bed is all splintered... There are no blankets in the room and just 2 bath towels... I do not recommend this hotel as there are just too many areas that need improvement...

    I booked the hotel through an online travel agency because I was looking for offers in the Punta Cana area and this hotel appeared in the search... The check-in process was cumbersome, I arrived at 4:30 pm and my room was ready until almost 5 pm even though the check-in time is 3 pm... The floor in the room was still wet from being recently moped and there was no electricity, we were not told anything during check-in time so it was very disappointing to get to our room and have no electricity...

    To start with the receptionist was very unfriendly on our first day the 3rd November on arrival and just pointed in a general direction as to where our room was, the rest of the 9 days the other staff were fine... If you do stay here it is advisable to get a sea view room as the bar shuts at 11pm so we went back to our balcony and had a few night caps there instead... On a positive note, we had an issue with our room and the manager moved us straight away, also Raul the barman was a very nice happy man...

    Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed. Brown shower and tap water... US$20 for a beach towel that we had to wait 3 days for... Food disgusting and raw - ended up going out to a restaurant at a huge cost which was not envisaged, alcohol dire and not palatable... My first and last time doing all inclusive, had saved up for 3 years for this holiday and am gutted... Also don’t book with Loveholidays as no rep and left to get on with things alone 😡...

    ...With good air con and fan. Bed was huge queen size... Plenty of soap and shower gel Nice fluffy clean towels... Ranging from eggs made to order, porridge fresh fruit, yogurts, hot and cold buffets & variety of bread rolls, coffee and tea and juice which is more like a squash drink... Lunch & dinner :variety of meats and fish daily... With pasta, salads always plenty of fresh cream gâteaux style cakes and smaller cakes and different flavour ice creams and fruits... Beach was always kept clean... But of course the best was the infinity pool on the roof... But no free all inclusive drinks at this pool as it was to encourage you to buy the cocktails...

    We were expecting a good hotel but not expecting a big, luxury all bells and whistles hotel as the price was very good, especially considering the area and beach location, but it's definitely a good hotel with good rooms and nice swimming pools... I was already aware that the water in the bathroom was going to be salty and not the regular water we are used to, so no problem as that's just part of the way things work there... Bottled water is easy to get hold of... Loved the infinity pool on the roof and the bar and restaurant up there...

    ...We liked this hotel mainly because of the location and we went on the beach every single day. Sunbathing, walking, people watching or just reading with a cool drink... Simple, nicely decorated and clean and in the right place... Food good and staff all nice... They have different levels of rooms with some overlooking the beach and some in the more modern part so be aware of that when booking... We stayed in one of the best rooms with amazing views and we though it was worth it!...

Barmen good at remembering drinks we liked and food all fresh... The hotel has various swimming pools throughout the complex and the whole place was always clean... Beds comfy although pillow not the best in my opinion... Great beach side hotel at a good price...

Although the location is close to restaurants and shops, being an older couple, we decided it was safer to just stay put... The stretch classes and dancercise on the beach were fun...

The staff don’t rush, but are friendly and easily found if needed... The freshly baked breads at breakfast were delicious...

The hotel has used the roof space for a bar and eating area, so clever as you get the odd cool breeze later on, it’s romantic for dinner and drinks and the views are never ending... My wife and I enjoyed the whole dining experience, the buffets were always appealing and the sushi restaurant was extra, but well worth it...

We loved it here. Location was excellent, just about on the beach. Available beds and shades and drinks were long and cold. Modern room style, on the larger size with good a/c. Holiday special buffets, apart from the sweetest pineapples I’ve eaten. Total package here, highly recommended.

My husband has been to the Dominican Republic a number of times but it was the first time for me. The heat was amazing and hit us as soon as we arrived. Very laid back check in, definitely the largest room we’ve ever stayed in, it was huge. Took me a few days to get with the salt water, but you get used to it. Meals are as usual buffet, some food could have been hotter some could have been colder, enough choice to keep anyone happy, great choice of fruits. We did nothing to write home about, apart from eat and troop down to the beach, swim in the sea and get a mahogany tan. All was accomplished. So good to spend time with my other half.

Substandard resort and accommodation. Don't mislead your prospect patrons. You're not even a 2 star hotel. The room was not prepared. The bathroom smells horrible like sewage. The air conditioner flooded my room. I informed maintenance. They didn't care fixing or transferring me just I am there for one more night. Improve your room especially the bathroom. Food were also substandard. Not a lot of choices. Tasted mediocre. Alcoholic drinks was average ok. Customer service was average. No above and beyond. Your security contacts sketchy taxi drivers that will ask for very expensive fare. Overall, very disappointing stay. Not recommending your property. Expect this review at all social media outlets. At least improve your place, don't rate yourself as a 4-star resort. You're not even close to 2 star.

Good relaxed vibe and the hotel is not too flashy or too modern, so it suited us as we like a more traditional and authentic experience when traveling to other countries. All the food, drinks, service, pools were of a good standard. One day our tap in the bathroom was dripping and the maintenance guy sorted it out quickly and cleanly with no fuss. Housekeeping ladies were good at their job too. Naturally the beach is the main attraction in this area and it didn't disappoint. Beautiful sand and amazing views to enjoy. Very good experience.

Nice hotel in a very good location by the beach. We were warmly welcomed and had great service from the hard working staff during our holiday. Lot's of smiles and they always seemed to be cleaning the public areas and pools. Nice plants and trees surround the buildings which gives a good feel when we you are sitting on the balcony in the room. Room spotless and a lot of space for luggage. Also a good bathroom with nice towels that were regularly changed. Food good and cocktails tasted authentic. Loved the big beach!

I’ll sum it up quite fast Worse place we’ve been to ! When we arrived the staff wasn’t comprehensive they didn’t care for what we asked And nobody told us they were in heavy renovations! The beach was epic dirty with styrofoam pieces everywhere The snack bars were disgusting Do not go to this place The staff doesn’t give a $#%£ about you unless you show money The only buffet restaurant was ok but that’s it It’s a place for locals so when they are there they storm the 4 bars and play music so loud it’s deafening At the four bars you get four kind of music it’s very annoying Avoid this place like the plague !!! Oh and they sell you the pool on top of the hotel ! It’s a scam the water is viscous and the bar you have to pay for your alcohol! And the restaurant was closed, and it’s not all inclusive

NOT FOR THE BRITISH OR CANADIANS. The WORST encounter of a “holiday” we have experienced. The staff are racist, they are ignorant, and if you are there when locals or closer communities are you’ll have a battle to get served at any bar. Unless you flash constant tips or are of the same ethnic background you will be the very last to be served The staff in the restaurant will ignore you, throw filthy looks. This is a truly AWFUL establishment. They serve a “filet steak” it is like a poor piece of rump. The customer services manager? Corrupt. Hotel manager? Corrupt. You complain they’ll shove paperwork at you, refuse to sort the issue. No running water for days when we were there, not because of weather or a draught cause the hotels half built. The NOISE is UNBEARABLE 11-11. Save your money, don’t go to the Dominican republic, and if you do insist on going definitely don’t stay here and after all the warnings if you still want to go, take diarrhoea tablets, earplugs and a lot of patience cause you’ll need it!!!!!

Nice hotel great location. Great value for money. We had a superior room which was huge. Most staff are friendly and attentive particularly in the dining room. Despite this some staff on the bar (female ones mainly) ignored me and others sometimes when ordering drinks. They only served people who shout or who obviously tip them. Encountered language issues at the bR and sometimes on reception. Pool areas are lovely but the main one blasts out music far too loud when when hardly anyone around the pool-its so loud bar staff can't hear. Despite this clean rooms, great location a minute from the beach a lovely sky bar. Food OK- breakfast food is the best
