Tropical Paradise
The property was beautifully landscaped, the staff was friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. There were cats and dogs (birds,iguanas, crabs and a snake!) on property but they seemed healthy and well cared for. The food and drinks were good and a lot of variety.

Rooms are outdated and not well decorated. Restaurant had very limited selections and they weren’t great. Only one bar. Room key stopped working four times and had to be reset. Dogs everywhere, including buffet. Dog poop on beach. Entertainment was sporadic. No beach activities. Pool tiles missing. Staff was exemplary.

Staff are very friendly, great service, great food. Very beautiful property but needs a lot of maintenance, many areas are showing lack of maintenance and it’s sad be aside for what I heard the property is not old.

I like the well maintain garden areas and some of the staff services like the bartenders Johnier and Edgar that they try to make me feel welcome and a value customer. what I didn't like: the hotel is selling a wrong concept of all inclusive, _we arrived at the hotel at 1pm and we were not able to eat or drink until 3pm (time to check in) at least that we paid for the food, no matter that we were at the airport since 6am, -the minibar fridge in the room is empty, only two recycle bottle of water that need to be replenish at noon every day, no all drinks and food are included at the bar, if you like a cappuccino or a Frappuccino, donnas, chocolate croissant for ex. you have to pay extra, this bar close at 8:30pm and the second one at 1pm, so no drink or food after that. two pools, one with some activities and one passive and quiet but if you like to play your own music you have to go to the beach. Activities during days and nights are poor, in my opinion due to lack of resources. the staff were trying that we feel good and have a good time but was not too much to do. overall, this place was expensive and for the same money or less you can enjoy a really all-inclusive resort in Dominican Republic.

If u don’t like CATS&DOGS this is not the place for you! they were mainly in the dining areas & beach the cats & dogs will come & sit under your chair/table while ur trying to eat! VERY LIMITED food options my stay was 5 nights & I only ate dinner the first night every other night I left the resort & got dinner from the city! Alcohol beverages wasn’t that great either I drink mojitos majority of my stay. I mentioned earlier my stay was 5nights 6DAYS & I had to ask for wash cloths the 1st night & every night because they don’t change the wash cloths every time they clean the room & I didn’t get new wash cloth until the 4th night after asking 15 times & it was very frustrating overall experience wasn’t great I’d give them 2stars! I can’t even say I had a favorite part of my stay because there wasn’t any! I didn’t see any entertainment(shows) everything I did was off the resort. If u travel for disappointment this is the resort for you honestly

Where do i start? Staff: everyone was so helpful, nice, kind, eager to assist you and always with a smile . Great job. Food was good, a lot of variety and to choose from . We enjoyed the food, all of it. Beds were comfy , air conditioning worked well. On the other hand, the hotel is completely outdated, it looks like they haven’t take care of many issues ( around the pool a lot of tiles broken ) etc etc etc. The walls between rooms are like paper, you can hear everything from the adjacent room . Bathrooms (at least ours) was very dirty in the corners around the shower and even we found a cockroach in our closet . It hasn’t received a touch of love since long time ago , or probably never and you can tell . It looks like an abandoned hotel in the middle of nowhere . It’s a shame that such a beautiful property looks so old . Furniture at the pool and lounges and dinings room should be updated as well since they look dirty and worn out . I was very disappointed to say the least.

The property had many cats and dogs in all areas specifically eating areas. So if you are allergic or don’t like to eat with cats and dogs, not a good place to stay. The property is also a distance from the town so it is isolated if you want some peace and calm.

Clean. Good service. Mediocre food. Limited all-inclusive. Some goodies had to be purchased. Too much on the q codes. Reserve this, reserve that. Too beholden to check-in and check-out hours. I.e. arrive early, have to pay for food.
