Sep 05, 2026Best Holiday Ever
Leaving soon sept 5th Would like the thank all the amazing lovely staff who have looked after us on our 2 week holiday. Fernando, head of entertainment. Hes absolutely brilliant funny guy who clearly loves to make people happy. Entertainment crew all absolutely brilliant and make you feel happy so you enjoy your holiday even more. They are by far the best entertainment crew out of any resort we have ever stayed in. Alejandrina, Yery, Moises, Yulan, Carlos and the rest of tje entertainment team. Bar Staff who looked after us and were Yafreysi, Marileydi, Rosmerly and all the other bar staff in main bar. Absolutely amazing service and so friendly and chatty and made you feel so welcome.The best staff ever. Pool bar staff Elizabeth, Ronaldo, Carlo and Jessica. The best ever pool bar staff out of any resort we have ever stayed in. Restaurant staff Martina from the Ranch restaurant and Caralina from the Gran caribe restaurant who we met but there were many also great service and friendly. We would like to recommend coming to this hotel as the rooms are lovely, the grounds beautiful with small ponds filled with amazing wild life, turtles, different fish, different birds from Ducks to Great Egrets, Dominican woodpeckers, and Iguanas. Even around the main restaurant theres pools with beautiful Koi Carp other fish, turtles and Great Egrets. The beach is beautiful but the time of year we have come there's a lot of sea weed but we can accept this as its nature. The restaurants offer a great selection of food that is tasty, freshly cooked personalised stir frys, pasta stations, egg stations. A la Carte. Steak house great. Italian, good Japanese, great Asian not good. Day time entertainment good with games dancing, water aerobics, pool party. Nightlife good as well. Different themes each night. We can honestly say this is the nicest, frieniest, most beautiful resort we have ever stayed in. Even better than Riu in Jamaica.

Aug 31, 2026Worst experience
We had a bad experience, from lack of air conditioning, flood in the bathroom, the fridge was broken. They just apologized but we slept without it. Imagine hot nights without air conditioning.

Beware! Do not go!
The worst experience at a resort. The AC was not working in the entire resort. My sliding door to the balcony did not shut close. We complained a total of 6-8 times to the front desk and no resolution was given. It got so hot in the room we had to sleep ultimately naked. It was warmer in the room 29 celsius than it was outside. We ultimately had to leave and go to a different resort. Never again. The property is outdated, rooms were dirty there was even gum in the trash bin just gross. The smell from the ponds on the property was disgraceful and disturbing. Food was mediocre at best. The staff serving in the restaurant had an awful and lazy attitude
