The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

During my stay, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety offered at the buffet. There was a wide enough selection to satisfy everyone's taste, from fresh fruits to delicious chicken wings. One night, I even indulged in a turkey dinner that was simply to die for! The quality consistently exceeded my expectations, and I appreciate the attentive service we received throughout our meals.

Great Leisure Facilities

I had an amazing time enjoying the leisure facilities at the resort. The pool area was always bustling with activities, and I particularly loved the option of a quieter pool where I could relax away from the noise. The beautiful beach was perfect for taking stunning walks and unwinding. I also enjoyed a rejuvenating massage on the beach that was among the best I've had, making my experience truly nice.

Fun Activities Galore

The array of activities at the resort kept my family and me entertained throughout our stay! From lively aqua fit sessions to relaxed Zumba by the beach, every moment was filled with fun and energy. The staff encouraged participation, and I couldn’t help but smile while dancing along with others. It was a wonderful way to stay active while on vacation.

Comfortable and Clean Rooms

Our room was impeccably clean and well-maintained, which made our stay all the more comfortable. The air conditioning worked perfectly, keeping us cool after long days in the sun. I particularly loved the flower decoration by the cleaning staff, which added a lovely touch to our stay. Overall, the attention to cleanliness and detail was commendable.

I had a pleasant week at the resort, enjoying the lively atmosphere and great pool area. While the rooms were clean, they felt a bit outdated and cramped, and the service could have been improved, particularly during busy times. The beach was enjoyable, but I found the constant attention from vendors a bit overwhelming. Overall, this resort offers good value for a fun vacation, but there are definitely areas that could use some improvement.

Overall, our family had a good time at the hotel, but a few issues arose that could use some attention. The location was great, just a short walk from the beach, and the staff truly made our stay enjoyable with their welcoming nature. On the downside, the constant smoking in the common areas, especially near where children gather, was quite off-putting. Additionally, we found the variety of Dominican food lacking during our meals.

I had an amazing time at this resort! The location had a beautiful beach with fluffy white sand, and our room was spacious and quiet.

I just returned from a week at the resort, and overall, it was a fantastic experience with a beautiful beach and a variety of delicious food options. The room was always clean, and the service was generally good, although some areas could use improvement. However, my stay was marred by an unexpected pool closure which resulted in a last-minute room change, which was quite frustrating. Nonetheless, the hotel offers great value for families, with plenty of activities for children and adults alike.

Rooms

Our room was clean and had a nice ocean view, but we noticed some wear like stains on the lampshade and a wire hanging out from behind the desk. It would have been nice to have a better welcome drink, like a bottle of rum instead of just fruit.

The hotel had some great aspects, like clean and well-maintained common areas and an enjoyable beach experience. However, the dining left much to be desired, with limited variety and inconsistent quality. While the service was mostly friendly and accommodating, the lack of an elevator and some overlooked room needs can be a downside for those traveling with families.
