We have been in the Dominican Republic over 10 times and this is our first negative review. Where do I begin to explain how terrible this resort is? There should be a disclaimer that they only cater to Spanish-speaking customers. Every piece of entertainment was all in Spanish. Spanish speaking people were greeted with smiles and seated right away. All inclusive does not mean all inclusive unless you are constantly tipping people to get any kind of service. Even then it’s substandard. You will never be over-served alcohol here because getting orders filled at the bar or restaurants is almost impossible. You can order room service but will not get it. You can order towels and things multiple times and you will never receive them. You will get rolled eyes if you try to speak English to get a table at any of the restaurants. You could possibly find a big piece of plastic bag in your food like we did. You can try to book a restaurant for a week for a big family dinner and never get it. Hands down the worst resort I have stayed in in my entire life.

This hotel was a total disaster. The people are unfriendly and it was very disappointing. The hotel was very outdated and dirty. The bathrooms were filthy and mold all over. It was very unpleasant. It definitely would be our last at this hotel.

The property transportation is really bad. You have to wait a lot for the trolleys to pass and when they do you sometimes need to take another because not all go to the same place. The staff at the buffets are not friendly you have to wait a lot to get water. I think they are under staff.

the property is beautiful! the rooms are very comfortable and have it all but the service it’s just terrible, starting with the check in process; it took forever and we have to go back a couple of times to the lobby because the rooms were not connected and they said they would be. there are some good employees but must of them are not, not helpful, distracted and rude. I been to Punta Cana a lot of times already and this is probably one of the hotels that I would rather not go. they have good quality drinks at the bars and that’s probably why I choose the hotel but service at the beach can be awful. also in the buffet located at the beach.

The beach was not cleaned from the seaweed. We went in hopes to enjoy the beach there, but it was not cleaned up so we didn’t enjoy the beach spent all our time in the pool.
