It was Very good everyone loved it. We all went there because my Mom and Dad got married, it was great I would go back to dominican republic.

The shows were on late but is was really good. The disco was good to and the drinks cocktails were the best. The staff were really nice and the hotel was clean to.

There was always music on when you was in the pool it was cool dominican was better than a thought it would be. The beach was lovely and the wedding was great!

We stayed in the Fun Royale part of the complex. Never been to an all inclusive deal.Food was excellent and really enjoyed the Brazilian restaurant .. infact all the restaurants were excellent. Holidays are for eating, drinking and relaxing and thats exactly what we did. Fantastic :)

Rosa our maid was lovely and she looked after us well. made sure we had fresh water and cleaned the room every day.

So much food !!! But the food was very good and no funny tummies at all.

Hotel was about 5-10 mins walk to the huge beach but this wasn`t a problem as there was regular transport to and from the beach every 10 mins. Once on the beach endless food and drink. Great!!

Hotel staff all spoke very good english and were very helpful. The doctor was good too ... not too expensive. Make sure you cover yourself with mozzy spray as the little buggers get you all the time in the evening.

Entertainment was ok. Live perfomances every night and they were all themed i.e Michael Jackson night. They even had their own party song .. we even bought the CD :)

Would absolutely go to this hotel again. Excellent. Infact there were many English and German people there. All really friendly. It was the Americans that didn`t seem to stop complaining about something.

We visited the dominican republic for the first time in august 2004 and stayed at fun tropicale. We were not at all sure what to expect from the hotel, but were very pleasantly surprised. From the moment we arrived at the hotel we were greeted with happy smiling staff.
We found he hotel to be very clean and the food was of a very high standard.

We have already booked our return trip for next year and are bringing along more friends and family so they can experience this beautiful hotel aswell.

We stayed in the Fun Royale side of the complex, i found the room was excellent, great size and the Air conditioning worked!!!!!
The maids were in cleaning the rooms every days and even folded up the night garments, the selection of food was excellent and they changed it each evening to themed night ie mexican, chinese etc. u also had a choice of two other restuarants to choose from although u had to book into them the day before. The hotel staff were brilliant they couldnt do enough for u, from the minute we arrived they carried the bags to the room and didnt expect a tip (although we gave him one) the bar staff were very friendly and always spoke to u about what u had done in the day etc.
The hotel entertainment was excellent they put on different shows each evening from Disney shows to Micheal Jackson, was a great laugh.
Hotel also had an onsite night club which played a selection of music from Spanish to English. Although it was full of the staff it was still a good night.
Hotel location was brilliant, ten mins walk to the beach but if u were feeling lazy they have a tractor to take u there. it was also a short walk to the shopping centre.

We were travelling as a young couple, and only went for a week, which is worth bearing in mind.
From the moment we got there the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and the hotel struck us as lively, colourful and attractive. T

The room was very spacious, clean, with air conditioning. We counted the steps to the bar, and I think it was around 15! We could sit on our ground floor terrace, and go for a rum and coke with such little effort. Tip - don't overdo the rum on your first night like I did. Rummy tummy puts you off it for the rest of your stay! We were quite limited on the drinks, not much variety, or the barman didn't understand what you were asking for. They weren't particularly friendly, but try asking for your drink in Spanish and you'll get a long way!

The food was lovely, and we stuffed ourselves. However, it got quite repetitive, and we were only there for one week. I wouldn't have liked to eat the same food all over again for another week. On the upside, the Italian a la carte was fantastic, and you can eat there as much as you like, which we took advantage of. Being vegetarian, I didn't try the Brazilian a la carte, as apparantly it was meat, meat and more meat, with a bit of rice. Everyone who did go said it was fantastic though.

There are two pools, one very lively, the other 'adults only' and very quiet. We were often only joined by a handful of others, and were the only two in the pool. It has wonderful views over the golf course and mountains, and is right next to the restaurant and a pool bar. The lively pool has sports, music and activities. It's also got a great pizza bar, open all day. To get to the beach, there were regular shuttles which were fun Disney-park-esque trolly buses. Or, you can walk in ten minutes along the golf course, which is nice.

The major downpoint was the entertainment. Some people enjoyed it, so maybe it's a matter of taste, but we hated it. At first we laughed it off, but we got so sick of it we ended up having an early night just to escape it. There isn't anywhere else or anything else to do! It's either sit and watch the cheesy, dated entertainment or nothing. We chose nothing. Agadoo was a nightly recurrence, which says it all really.

All in all, a great holiday, but a week was enough. Maybe other hotels offer more for a two week holiday.

As soon as we got to the hotel, we saw a very clean and happy environment. Our room was good with air conditioning that worked!!

The food was of a high standard. There was a theme night over a weekly basis. People staying for 2 weeks will find it repetitive.

The staff were always happy and went out of their way to fufill our needs. The beach was about a 10minute walk but for the lazy people there was a regular shuttle bus.

The entertainment during the day was fun and my child enjoyed it. Over a night time a different show was put on. Well, they did try to entertain!!

Overall, we had a great holiday and would go back there again.

We stayed at the hotel for 7 nights in April 2002, The hotel staff went out of their way to ensure all had a good time. The food was of an acceptable standard.
The hotel had a night club which we visited a couple of times, the main people there being the hotel staff and their friends.
The entertainment was of a high standard with all the staff involved.
The location of the hotel was good, ten minute walk to the beach, and 15 min to the shopping plaza.
Our room was clean if a little neglected,(broken patio door)
The bathroom I found to be of an un-acceptable standard (mouldy tiles and window.)
All in all the holiday was good, I would return to the dominican republic again but would try another hotel.
