    Nice to get a test from everything

    We had a very pleasant stay. The hotel has billard, tennis, snorkeling, kayaking and many more options which were all great. We loved the bingo games. Sandy beach with beautiful palms just next to your room. The food was quite amazing, both Dominican and international. One exception: breads - very chemical, whether sweet or savory. Although, the pizza was great! They made the dough themselves and you could taste it. Make sure to try the breakfast shakes as well. The staff and animators very friendly and kind, greetings to Jesus and Wileni 🥰 One idea I didn't like were the paper cups for drinks but I guess it has its reason. Overally, recommended for families more than partying people as the bars weren't open 24/7 and there were quite many kids - animations for them as well.

    Best resort !!!!

    What an amazing resort! The food and the staff are fantastic and I can’t wait to return. The entertainment staff Henry and Carlos keep the resort laughing and make sure you are enjoying yourself. The staff in the club room Olvi , Santa make the best drinks and give top notch hospitality! Can’t forget Alendrea and Benito at the pool Bar and the housekeeping staff. Despite a few days of rain we had a great vacation thanks to the staff
