My daughter and myself stayed at this resort from May 24-31. This hotel was not as as bad as some of the reviews I read before leaving. There are many stairs and alot of walking to get around, I would not recommend if you have any issues with regards to that. The food at the buffet was good, we ate... More

I visited Cofresi the week of May 14, 2012. My husband and I originally thought we booked Lifestyles, but upon check in we were informed that they could not find our reservation. This is a thorough honest review of both sides of the coin Non-VIP and VIP. Please feel free to PM me with any questions and I’ll be happy... More

I read alot of the reviews after I booked our vacation and was very nervous about what I read. However, my family and I had a great time and none of us wanted to leave, especially the kids (ages 15, 18 and 21). They told us it was the best vacation ever. We met "Sexy Blackie" and "Sexy Banana" (a... More

We keep coming back to Cofresi every time we come to the DR. The staff is great Santiago was fun and all the rest of the guys and girls who work there are so nice and humble. We love the fact that when they see us come back they smile and treat us like royalty. This is by far one... More

My husband and I stayed from 5/12-5/18, and we wanted to leave the next day, the resort is not organized, food was horrible, the first 3days the resort was filled with locals with lots of kids, these people are all rude. The best part of our stay was our room, in the new buildings we stayed in the 40 building... More

We stayed for 5 days/4nights for my birthday at the beginning of May. It was a blast. All the staff members we encounter were friendly and courteous, always with a smile. Grounds were cleaned and well kept. We stayed in building 41 closer to the pools and beach. Room was spacious and modern. My wife really liked the bathroom. This... More

We traveled to the Dominican, my husband and I and 2 other couples in March. Cofresi had recently had its "Grand Re-Opening" and we had read many, many bad reviews. Despite all we read, we had a WONDERFUL time! The resort was very nice, one room smelled a tad bit musty, but nothing that bothered us. I personally thought the... More
