The front desk customer service was not very good, but a manager helped to turn the experience around. We had some issues (door lock problem, non-working remote, and foliage in the swim up pool); they addressed most things quickly. The specialty restaurants were nice, and the nightly shows were entertaining. The buffet on the weekends was a mad house. I’m not sure that I will return.

Fue nuestra primera visita a Juan Dolio, y basado en nuestras experiencias en otras partes del país, entendemos que este hotel no está a la altura de lo que ofrece la República Dominicana por el precio pagado. El hotel tiene mucho que mejorar en infraestructura y en la calidad de los alimentos que ofrece. Las habitaciones tenían goteras. Pedimos traslado y la nueva tenía incluso más, en el área del baño. Algunas piscinas tenían el agua un poco turbia. En cuanto a la comida, daba la impresión de que se volvía a reponer, especialmente las ensaladas. Incluso el servicio, si se compara con Puerto Plata o Bávaro, tiene muchas oportunidades de mejora.

We have been here before and can see how the property has declined. Rooms are old and in need of repairs. The main attraction used to be the restaurant by the beach which is now closed down. There’s a lot of people trying to sell you RCI. One good thing is the service at the buffet, Eddie was great and so was Wendy. The service at the coffee shop was superior! But we will not return.

First and foremost, this was not luxury a hotel . A hotel that does not offer high-end beverages with the amount of money that is paid per night is ridiculous. Not only include Redbulls no type of good liquor. The service was very mediocre. My sheets were not changed. They were filthy I had to call housekeeping and explained to them that the bed was made however, the sheets were never changed. The bathtub was spilling water everywhere. It was never It wasn’t working properly. I have traveled too many high-end luxury hotels, and I never encountered any type of issues. I even think they had bedbugs on my face and my arms. I highly demand either a refund or a new stay for free.
