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 While the rooms were clean, they felt a bit outdated and cramped, and the service could have been improved, particularly during busy times.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. The dining options were good overall, though some improvements are needed in service and variety. While the staff was friendly and accommodating, the dining experiences did fall short in a few areas. Overall, great value for money and the atmosphere was fun and laid-back.

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.
Service

The service had its highs and lows; while some staff members were attentive and friendly, the late response to our pool issue and the way they handled our room change left much to be desired.

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.

Rooms
