This is a nice couple star resort . There is not much to do on the property . If you like to get sun at the pool they have palapas everywhere so have to be creative to get direct sun. Food is hit and miss . Entertainment not real good but they try . Most of the staff seem to hate being at work and unless you tip they really don’t provide service . If they all were like Henderson this resort would’ve much better . Conditions of the room where not great our sliding glass door didn’t shut or lock the whole time . They have 2 TVs in the room but one remote so you can’t turn one off from Bed without turning the other one on . Little things that add . I feel it is overpriced for the food , amenities and service for sure .

Beautiful resort, service was excellent from resort workers, rooms could have been a little cleaner along with pool... we had club suite with private pool and the pool was dirty with leaves in it everyday and had to call to be cleaned. Best show they had was pure energy, circus show was cool but it was way too short. For an adults only all inclusive resort- the energy and liveliness closes down way too early. It felt like after the show ended there was nothing to do. Went to club Alegria and it was disappointing. Super confined, small space for such a large resort and if you're younger in your 20-30s- it was a bunch of 50 year olds grinding on each other. The food was okay. Best restaurant was Spice & Flavor Market. Nothing is seasoned and fell short but this was kinda expected reading prior reviews. Went to the spa and ended up getting MRSA on my nose from sauna (which I've never had in my life) so just be careful... thankfully I'm okay and got treatment at home. I was quite disappointed with this result due to the money spent and being a 5 star resort due to entertainment ending so early in the night, and also because we ended up having a delay in our flight so we missed a day we paid for... the resort was not accommodating at all. Didn't offer refund and refused to provide a refund despite not utilizing the amenities and all inclusiveness for a whole night/day. After arguing with the resort- they stated the best they could do was extend a day and then hung the phone up.

The staff was absolutely amazing! Jenny. Ricardo, Juan and Juan Carlos were so much fun they were always smiling. Dancing they even participated in our pictures from our pub crawl! They made our time enjoyable. Didnt like the utv excursion. Not enough time to see what we paid for. Too many crafters selling and constantly in your face. We wanted to shop but I also wanted to see the beautiful beach, cave and experiences that were offered. The nightly shows were also a great time and the food for Dominican night couldnt be beat.

The hotel was wonderful with many choices for food and very very friendly and kind staff. We never left the hotel property, as there was no need and the area around the hotel was still being built up and there wasn’t much to do outside of the grounds. But again, there was no need to leave the hotel grounds which were excellent.

Property was clean, nightly entertainment was offered, spacious rooms, adults, peaceful & friendly staff were highlights. We didn't spend a lot of time at the beach since we were there to relax and persistent vendors were everywhere. I'm not sure I would stay here again due to the mediocre food and limited all day options. This was my first trip to Punta Cana. We enjoyed it but I enjoyed the Cancun resort life & beaches more.
