This is a true definition of “you get what you paid for!” Property is worn down. Nothing special about the food, they didn’t have a good selection to choose from. Culture food from Dominican Republic would’ve been nice to try. Alcohol wasn’t the greatest. Took me about 7 mojitos and 4 shots to feel tipsy. Staff weren’t very friendly. We stayed at this resort for a week, not a lot of entertainment, night show was boring. Again, a culture show would’ve been amazing to watch. Tourist loved watching my boyfriend and I dance bachata, merengue, or merengue típico. The day of checkout the front desk receptionist didn’t even ask how was our stay during our time at the resort, it was more, “oh you’re checking out OK sign here and best travels.”

Well where to start. This is a decent resort, it’s like a fancy motel 8. Pros: The outside is clean. The pool is nice but small. Big beach. Food almost 24 hours. Cons: Small bad rooms, the shower was more cramped than my RV one. The window hold mold on it. My kind bed was 2 full beds pushed together. Limited WiFi. Only available in the lobby and slower than dial up if you can get it. Best times to get internet between midnight and 2 am after the grandparents go to bed and before the drunk tik tok stars go to post. Would suggest paying extra for your own cell phone service or walk next door to Senator and steal their WiFi. Food, you want eggs for breakfast, pizza for lunch, and pasta for dinner. Good, that’s all you’re getting everyday. And flavor, nope they got a machine they sucks it right out. Every desert tastes the same no matter what it looks like. Rude people, I know it’s hard at a resort to control how people act but they will cut in line and be rude. But on the other end met some nice people too especially the Canadians, thanks for being a good neighbor. Staff, they’re nice but you can tell they don’t want to be there. They’re kneeling down sipping beers behind the counters and slow as can be.

Good value

Friendly staff who work hard to keep everything clean including beach. Daily scheduled activities/entertainment. Older resort but good value for decent price. Food is acceptable with a good variety offered every day. Wi-Fi only in lobby area and not very good. Pools are clean and comfortable temperatures. Location is a bit far from Centro. No public transportation. Taxi available. Beach is lovely, large, and clean. We would stay at this place again.

Very disappointed in the resort. Here is what the experience was like: 1.) Room furniture was missing compared to other rooms. 2.) The phone did not work the whole stay. 3.) The toiled did not flush properly on multiple occasions. 4.) The resort food was quite poor even given the price. 5.) The swimming pools were pretty cold. Never been to a resort where the pool temperature was too cold. 6.) Parts of the beach next to the resort had a very rocky floor that one would nee shoes to use. This was very surprising and unpleasant. 7.) The front desk barely spoke English and could not resolve any of the room issues. Bottom Line: Stay away from this resort or risk having an unpleasant experience.

The food was good. The property is old and well used. The air conditioner leaked on our luggage. The resort is a fair way out of town, so that adds up quickly in taxis bills. Overall it was ok probably won't stay again. The wifi is useless, only in the lobby.
