    Underwhelming

    Underwhelming and lack of service from the front office employees. Restaurant service was not great either. IMO you can find a lot better for the price.

    Utterly Beautiful

    The property was utterly beautiful and well maintained. We felt safe, even on the beach at night. The security guards light up the beach and patrol it. It was great.

    Great short getaway!

    Great 5 day trip with the family! Stayed and the prefered club. Marcelo, "the man with the briefcase" was top notch. He definitely takes service to the next level! Shout out to Nelson "Mandela" and Daily at the pizzeria and Portofino. Very hard workers and always with a smile!

    1st time in Punta Cana

    Went for a destination wedding and here is my take on this resort: PROS: beautiful beach in November, clean and plenty of beach chairs. Delicious food at the restaurants, we loved the Mexican, the seaside grill and the Italian on the preferred side, I liked that we didn’t need reservations and were always seated promptly. My daughters enjoyed the kids pool. Drinks were very good and strong. Staff were nice and friendly, cleaning ladies did a great job everyday cleaning our room and giving us clean towels. Rooms were clean and comfy, we liked the jetted tub on the outside sitting area. They were accommodating giving us a connecting room with my in-laws. Entertainment was great, had something different every night. I liked that they don’t give out bracelets. The breakfast menu for room service was good too. The pool area is big lots of places to hang out and relax. The wedding was very nice, reception was at the beach, the food was delicious and the welcome dinner the night before was such a nice time and delicious food as well. The walk to the preferred area through the wooden bridge was so beautiful, during the day and night. My girls loved seeing the turtles, iguana and some really cool looking ducks and at night the whole bridge is lit up. CONS: Extremely noisy to stay on the 1st floor of building 5, we had room 5146 and people are constantly walking by the hall until very late at night, you can hear everything! It is also such a bad design to have the buffet attached to that building because everyone just walks through there as it is a maze to go through the middle area where the pool is. The buffet was a let down for me, especially at breakfast which I always look forward to, the food is so overcooked (can barely bite into a hashbrown) and so many repeated items, omelette area in the fusion restaurant is so slow and omelette was overcooked almost burnt. The food at the fusion restaurant was bad too, I’ve had way better teppanyaki at other resorts. We payed a lot to go to this resort as we travelled from the west coast (Canada) and unfortunately we just didn’t think it was worth it compared to Mexico, not to mention a lot of us got sick with some stomach bug, my mom and dad had to stay in their room one night and got the shivers and bad stomach pain for that reason alone we wouldn’t go back but is probably with it if you’re in the east.

    Family Vacation

    Great experience. It's a good Resort. Although you don't really need the butler service, I did pay for it with the package, and they were terrible when I needed it. Didn't even greet us during check-in process and check-out procedures could have been prevented due to the butler giving out dummy room numbers when we got spa service.
