The property was good. The problem we had was the attitude of your staff towards us. Also, the food was horrible, always cold. We ate mostly burgers the entire stay, snacks we bought and sometimes chose to stay without food. For a resort that gets different cultures, they need to have more English speaking staff who are frontline too cater to visitors.

Food was horrendous and very poor quality. Buffets were too crowded and lines to get hot food were too long. The food at the truck was too limited. It was too hard to make reservations at the specialty restaurants. Service was good sometimes but mostly it was subpar. Lines to get drinks were too long and bars were understaffed. Cleaning service didn’t give us fresh towels, change our sheets, make our bed, or empty our garbages on a couple occasions. No room service available.

If you love people, music and lots to do then you will enjoy this. If you’re like me and want to listen to the birds with your morning coffee and have some quiet space go somewhere else. The noise level is rarely below 60 decibels. I was next door to the gym and the outdoor music started at 6:15 am. Restaurants were between 70 and 80 decibels. Each pool is louder than the last. The beach is packed and there you get not only the resort music but everyone’s personal speaker’s blasting in all directions. I was in one of the newer rooms and it was nicely appointed aside from being unable to enjoy any quiet time on the balcony. You will gets lots of walking in. I averaged 20,000 per day. Apparently the adult only area is quiet but they were full when I was there. I will opt for Melia if I return to Punta Cana. Way more my style.
