Hotel's Favourite
Awesome vacation!!
Went with 2 other couples first of April. Any little things we needed fixed, they did, right away. Rooms were clean, some days maids left flowers on the bathroom counter, rooms were good size too, with a small balcony. Food was great! Went to a different nice restaurant every night. Steak House was awesome, as was the Japanese Restaurant where they cooked your food right in front of you. Pedro, at the buffet, went out of his way on our last day for breakfast. Had flowers all over our table with cloth napkins, very special. We loved him! Would love to come back. Only thing I missed was you couldn’t see ocean from resort as there was a high ridge between resort & ocean, but you just walked over it & had all kinds of loungers to lay on while enjoying the ocean view. Great place!…

Memorable Christmas Vacation
We choose this resort due to its overall rating, and availability during holiday season. No doubt an amazing resort in Punta Cana. Reception/lobby, Mikes Coffee, Room, Swimming pool, Sensai Japanese Restaurant were awesome. The beach looks bit smaller/ crowded due to sandbank wave barriers. During day time the vendors/ site seeing agents/time sharing sales agents were too annoying, also the Saturday night flee market sales persons were stopping each and every guests to come to their tables/purchase their products. The Steakhouse Restaurant ignored our table during our last dinner, they forgot to serve us our drink and deserts. The overall stay was great except the LAST experience: we called front desk 211/requested bell boy early in the morning to help us to bring our luggage from 3rd floor/building 4 to lobby (bit far to carry), but nobody showed up even after 30-40 mins. wait. We had to carry our suitcases to the reception and rushed to take our Airport Transfer early in the morning without having breakfast due to wastage of time waiting.…

Good value for money
Very good hotel, amazing food, resort and pools very good, kind and responsive staff. On the down side, Junior suite is only a room with a single bathroom where 4 people are accomodated. Beach is very small and poor, sellers of all kinds are pretty agressive.

Vacation
It was very nice. The entertainers really try their best to get us engaged and make the atmosphere very lively (especially Cherry, Pokémon, Mickey Mouse, chocolate and Morocha). The beach party they had was a lot of fun and the fire dancers were unreal. Beware of the casino though, can’t win.

Has anyone had problems with ice in their drinks or smoothies? My kids are so excited about the smoothies but wondering about the ice they’re made with. Thanks!
Thanks for writing to us. The type of ice we use for our services is made with purified water which is free of any contamination since it goes through a depuffing process Cheers!
