Hotel location remote, although large complex and plenty to do. Immaculately presented gardens, hotel rooms cleaned and linen changed daily to a very high standard, although we did experience a few problems in the room which once reported were rectified, rooms could benefit from a slight refurb.

Domestic staff very efficient, tipping greatly appreciated and aided first class personal service. Entertainment team worked extremely hard and did try to vary their programme, successfully in my opinion. Hotel stretched along a fantastic clean beach with plenty of water sports going on.

My mobile did not work, but others did. US$ accepted, more so than Dom Peso. Dolphin/sea lion trip was a life changing experience. No trouble with mossies or upset tummies. Only advice don't visit Easter weekend, their busiest invasion of local rich Dominicans.

We would definitely return.

The hotel really is in the middle of nowhere, this means mobiles dont work no escape unless you fancy the traumatic drive 45 mins to Sosua or Cabarete. There are also frequent power cuts.

The resort was very clean and tidy! The entertainment wasn't fantastic but it wasnt terrible there was always something for everyone and if the shows weren't to your taste you could always go to the near bye night club, bars or casino!

The beach wasnt brilliant at best but it was fine for swimming in and doing watersports (there is always the pool anyways).

Well worth visitintg would go back in a minute.

First things first. this is NOT a five star hotel.The staff are excellent, the food is excellent. minus points are that the entertainment is terrible.Itis a complete joke/dancing and miming to tapes is childrens pantomime and that is exactly what it is. the drinks are a joke. completely lacking in alcohol.if you are a drinker are even a part time drinker then this is not the place for you.house wine is the same horrible and possibly watered down. they also have an insect problem here. biting insects are everywhere on the beach in the mattresses also

The resort was spotless and contained plenty to do for everyone. Was quite a distance from other resorts. Most excursions took an hour plus to get to which was the only problem.

Resort entertainment excellent, funny and all you could ask for.

The beach was a mile and a half long most of it unspoilt with a tropical rainforest at each end, brilliant private beach which meant you didnt get pestered by beach hawkers trying to sell you things!!!!!!

Hair braiding and massages available on the beach also a lot of water sports. Plenty of sunbeds with beach umbrellas available.

We would vist this resort again without a doubt!!!! Would highly recommend.

The resort was good but you cannot go out your hotel unless you get the hotel bus as there is nothing near, hand
the beach is very clean there is some small gift huts along the beach but are very exspensive.

If you turn wright when you get to the beach go along till you come to a old bridge you will come to campo tours their trips are very cheap also very good and safe to go on staff very friendly.

Resort very clean.

Hotel is a bit isolated but everything you need is in the resort.

Beach - well, at first I though I was getting bitten with bed bugs! Turns out it was sand flies, very itchy, but bearable!

Would definitely vist the resort again.

There were 3 large pools on the resort. All were kept clean and a member of staff were always maintaining them. All the areas in the hotel were always being mopped and cleaned whether it was dirty or not. There were 3 specialist restaurants that were fantastic (Italian, Mexican & French). The food was 1st class and although i consider myself to be a funny eater i found something to eat in all these restaurants. The main buffet restaurant was full of choice and superb. Both times we've visited this hotel our rooms have been about 100 yards from the beach. The beaches were spotless, with pots placed along the beach for rubbish. Everyone seemed to respect this. Wherever you are on this resort everything is only a short stroll away. It really is heaven.

We only actually went into the resort on one organised trip so don't feel i can really comment. It was however clean and beautiful. The one beach we did see was amazing.
