First, we chose this resort based on proximity to the airport (I've spent an hour or 2 on a bus going from airport to resort before and I won't do it again) and price. Let me first say that the entertainment staff were fantastic. They did their best to involve everyone in the daytime events on the beach or elsewhere... More

My family and I just returned home from our first trip to the Dominican Republic. We stayed at Celuisma despite some of the negative reviews which had been given earlier on. This resort was a perfect family vacation spot with plenty to do for all ages. My boys ( aged 5 and 3) were always being entertained, wether they were... More

Arrived at this resort late, and was plesantly surprised to find how quickly we were checked in, given a welcome drink, and escorted to our clean, spacious room. Hungry from the long trip, it was great to also see a cheese sandwich, fresh fruit, and bottle of water awaiting us. Our first floor room was quite adequate for the amount... More

Eight of us just returned February 7. 2012 and for the price we paid to go there ($539.00 all inclusive each) it was well worth it.

Took our family here for a week in January 2012. This was our second stay at this all-inclusive resort, the first being about 15 years ago. The property is really showing its age except for the beach, of course, which is sunny, sandy and long. Our rooms, on the ground floor of building #13, smelled of must and were not... More

We are a party of five and this is third time at this resort. One of the main reasons is the people you have working.
