Where do I start. The property looks run down thou the reception area was nice enough. But our room was horrible the shower was broken and clogged, and the water came out to wet the whole bathroom floor so much so that we ended up using a towel. There was no door to the actual bathroom just on the stalls so the smell of whoever was in the bathroom came out to the room. We were 3. Then we try to make a reservation at one of the restaurantes and we are told that there are 3 but because of a holiday and low occupancy there was only 1 open, and it was completely booked. The food at the buffet was not adequate so we went elsewhere to eat. And to put the cherry on top my niece had to purchase a pina-colada (which i have never had to do in ANY other all inclusive hotel, and I have been to many many of them) there was an issue with and that the receipt didn't print so they take her card for like 20 minutes and disappear with it and when they finally came back they charged her twice. We were there only 1 night and 2 days later we are still waiting for the re-imbursement. Don't waste your money it was a total let down and a dive the only thing good was the beautiful beach.

Checkw-in was a long process (one hour on a 95 degree day). I asked for two beds instead of one. This request needed to be ok’d by a manager who was nowhere to be found. I couldn’t make a restaurant reservation because I didn’t have room number assigned yet. After having no success getting into any of the three a la carte restaurants, I went to client services and explained what had happened. This got us nowhere, as they were still unable or unwilling to accommodate a table for two in any of the three restaurants.

Stayed here for 3 nights and was not impressed. The resort is very basic and average. The price made sense once I got there and seen what was offered. The food was not good quality at the buffet and the restaurant Oregano was only slightly better. The wait staff was usually pleasant and were quick to notice you sit down and get your drinks. The drinks were super sugary and very limited. Only 1 local beer option and well liquor for the few mixed drinks they make. The room was average and showed many signs of wear and tear. The sheets had some small stains in places and the glass in the shower was not clean. The floor seemed clean and the a/c worked but the remote was a little touchy. The bed was overall pretty comfortable as were the pillows. It downpoured for the second half of my second day there. The entire resort was flooded and the walkways had 6 inches of standing water on them. Its a beach resort so not the biggest problem except for during this rain a friend staying 1 room over had the ceiling in the bathroom start pouring down water. He called the front desk as well as placed a complaint on their website where you can post issue you are having. No on showed up or called him back. The next day we stopped by the front desk, they said they would get someone over there and still no one showed up. I had no hot water in my room on the 3rd night and another friend I was with that was in a different building had no hot water for 2 days with no help from the front desk.

Everything was close so not a lot of walking which was great since I had my elderly mom. Dominican restaurant wasn’t great so we stuck with buffet. Lots of variety. The only thing I would say is the room needed somewhere to sit other than the bed.
