The property is beautiful, the beach is amazing. The workers at the main buffet work so hard and deserve appreciation for all the rude people I saw . The bar tender Juana Hidalgo was absolutely amazing she made our trip memorable. The pool attendant that gave out the beach towels at the quit pool was such sweatheart she always had a smile. Our housekeeper did a fantastic job at keeping our room clean and mini bar stocked and plenty of towels. The room furnishes were very dated but it was one of the cleanest rooms I have been in. Very old and dated but clean so for us it worked. The buffet had so much food if you left hungry your a snob sorry but after reading all the bad reviews I find it hard to believe you couldn’t find anything. The beach chairs at the pools and beach are gone by 7am we even saw people out at 4am saving the really good spots. Get to buffets early to avoid waiting. To make the specialty restaurant reservations you have to be in line by 6:30am on Sunday morning even then there was 20 people ahead of us but we were able to get into all the restaurants we wanted at the times we wanted so plan ahead and get up early if you don’t want to be disappointed. The pool foam party was one of absolutely best times we have had at Punta Cana this was our 8 the trip second time with this hotel. We are older but were surrounded by younger people and held our own dancing and jumping to the rave music. After that we spent the rest of time at quit pool recuperating .

Dear Madam,Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay.We are disheartened to hear about your experience with the early reservation requirements for our specialty restaurants and the demand for beach chairs. We are aware that comfort and accessibility are important to our guests; hence, we continuously strive to improve these aspects of our service. It's delightful to learn that our housekeeping team, along with Juana Hidalgo at the bar and our pool attendant, provided you with memorable service. We're also glad to know that the cleanliness of your room met your expectations and that you found value and variety in our buffet offerings. Your enjoyment of the foam party and the quieter pool area is heartening, as we aim to create a fun and relaxing environment for all our guests.We look forward to welcoming you again.Kind regards,Álvaro Fontenla, General Manager

We only stayed a night, but we had a good experience. They were able to schedule a shuttle for us to take us to the airport on time. Hotel room was clean and beds were very comfortable.

Arraigned for early check-in due to arrival time and medical needs. Received an email acknowledging and agreeing to same, only to be denied this on my arrival and told by a supervisor that the email was not an agreement. As to cleanliness, i have pictures of the roaches. Room was fumigated, but I was not offered a change of room. I could go on…

The staff was very unfriendly, it took 3 hours to check in, the room was falling apart we did not have a beach view, and my reservation specified we did, we were treated like second-class citizens and I will never stay at an occidental property again anywhere

Este hotel es excelente, los empleados son muy amables y bien dispuestos. El único detalle fue que el aire no estaba enfriando como debería, pedimos cambio de habitación y nos movieron, pero el problema seguía. En cuanto a todo lo demás, fue espectacular.
