This place isn't as bad as a lot of people say. I went with my boyfriend and another couple. Our first few days we stayed in the regular hotel part, which was not the greatest. However, we had the most fabulous balcony ever! I think it was the best one at the hotel. The room did have very small ants,... more

This place is awesome! No, it is not a 5-star hotel by U.S. standards, but you get what you pay for – MUCH more than what you pay for – and it has everything you could need. First of all, the service was outstanding. Everywhere we went, the staff was friendly, helpful and engaging. In particular, the serving staff at... more

We don't usually do All-inclusives. I chose this hotel because I love Juan Dolio and the price was unbelievable, especially for a holiday. We booked barely 2 months ahead and had a great deal with Cheap Caribbean. Based on reviews I wasn't expecting much. We were very pleasantly surprised. The grounds and beach were beautiful. Everything was clean and there... more

We went to the DR for two reasons - to celebrate my husband's birthday and to meet the little girl we have sponsored through Compassion International for many years. We are a family of 5 (3 kids, ages 11, 13 and 15) on a budget, so we did a lot of shopping around before we made any plans. We booked... more

My gf and I spent a week here in March on a timeshare exchange. We got a great room on the 6th floor facing the ocean with 2 sliders. I would have been very disappointed if we were placed in one of the rear buildings across the street. Ohhhh where to begin..... Food: truly mediocre - we saw no maggots,... more

My boyfriend and I were looking for a week vacation at a good price. We stumbled upon the resort through one of the last minute vacation websites. We didn't really know too much about the resort other than it was cheap and looked nice. After booking we looked at the reviews, we probably should have done it first but the... more

I'll preface this by saying that going into this trip, I did not expect an over-the-top five star all inclusive with immaculate rooms and royal treatment. I WAS expecting, however, clean and functioning rooms, handicap accessibility for my grandmother who uses a walker, and some form of entertainment. Within the first half hour at the hotel, my boyfriend got locked... more

OK, If you want a five star go to Punta Cana and stay at Paradesius or Secrets at $500 a night but if you want a hotel for $100 a night for 2 with all meals, drinks and a staff that will keep you busy the whole time this is the place for you. Please if you stay take about... more

Friday-Sunday the hotel becomes crowded with locals who stay one or two nights. The service was not effected by the people and we never had long lines at all. Although everything became more busy, it was great to mingle with the locals and learn more about the country. The rooms are older and do not have the amenities that many... more
