Doncel Vacations from $786

We were a little disappointed with our trip. Being Platnum with Expedia we chose this property at it was a VIP with extra perks. Well those perks are not the same everywhere and we are offered way more in Mexico. This was our 1st time in the Dominican and I definitely prefer our treatment in Mexico! The rooms were older, but well kept. The food was pretty good although could use a little more variety for breakfast and dinner. With only 3 al a carte they could use a little more options there too. We had 2 people with Celiac and we were very sad there weren't gluten free options (as there are in MX). The beach itself was nice to walk, but the water is not clear, so no snorkeling. The pools were nicen well maintained, and cleqned every day! For an older hotel they really do a good job keeps things maintained and are quick to help if you have a need. One of our safes needed reset and they were pretty quick and another ac wasn't working and they fixed it right away. The staff were kind and hard working! We had some laughs with a few of the bar tenders and wait staff who were always welcoming! Overall great people, good food, and perfect weather.

All amenities were removed from resort and beach area became public with locals using parasols. No bars at beach area and no animations. Would only go back if resort becomes all inclusive.

Bar needs to be improved cocktails are too sweet they use sugar stead the real ingredient to prepared drink. Example I asked for a long isla ice tea, they didn’t use the real ingredient to make the drink I returned because it was too sweet. Not quality drinks, however I don’t think the bartender have the necessary ingredients.

Gorgeous place and location. Very friendly people and enjoyable

The resort was inviting from the start. Reception was polite and prompt. The gave us information that would prove later in our stay to be a guide to enjoy many elements and activities on the resort. Friendly staff throughout. Modern, clean, and spacious rooms. Endless food & drink for all. Fantastic beach and pool. My wife and i are all ready planning a return trip.
