We stayed 7 days at this resort. We have traveled to AI's for 10 years with this stay being our second in DR. The place appears clean. The rooms are average with rock hard beds. The buffets are of poor quality and bland. The other restaurants are ok, but we did see a rat run from the dining room past... More

Just came back from this resort and kind of disappointed overall. Why? It's a HUGE resort, a lot to walk if you stay in bldg.# 40 or 50, extremely crowded, never find a spot by the main pool at any given time, very hard to make reservations at the restaurants and end up eating at the buffet most of the...

I was at this resort in Feb 2010 for the wedding of two of my friends. Coming from Canada in the middle of winter means that I was just happy to be in the beautiful hot weather and sunshine! This resort was beautiful, well cared for, clean and HUGE! Overall, I would recommend it to a friend for what it... More

Spent two weeks at the resort. Staff works hard to please. Rooms are clean and tidy Grounds are lovely. Food is repetitive but acceptable in the buffet. Restauran quality is not what we expect in a 'theme restaurant". Beach is lovely but much too crowded for a quality resort. You must get up early and reserve a palapa. Not what... More

Keeping this simple, we were a family of four, one boy 13 and our girl 16, and our coupled friends that all together had 3 rooms booked. The wait at the Punta Cana airport to our hotel was way too long that we almost took a cab. No water or washroom was available on the bus for over an hour... More

I was looking for a warm, winter get-away and this hotel offers that. I booked my trip through JetBlue vacations and was happy overall. I will try my best to give tips to anyone who books here to make their experience more enjoyable rather than complain or give useless information. The resort is modern and has immaculate grounds. Our room... More

Went in October of 2011 and was very disappointed overall. Liked the size of the resort because there is lots to do and places to go. The buses were easy to get on if you didn't want to walk. Not enough chairs by the smaller pool no matter what time. Drinks full of sugar they don't use a blender and... More

Feb 5-13 2012. The beach the sand and the water, amazing. Spent every day swimming in the ocean perfect light waves and no rocks and hardly any seaweed. Very nicely manicured grounds, friendly staff. Rooms were nice & clean, but very few outlets to plug things in and quite dim lighting. Which didn't matter, we were hardly in the rooms... More
