Pushy Travel management company and vendors
Vacation to my wife & I means time to relax. Booked many times thru Cheap Caribbean, well soon as we got off the airplane in DR. The vendors, salespersons pushing excursions, asking for money and trying to sell you something. Transportation pickup was unorganized and pushy. The gentleman that works for Amstar that represents Cheap Caribbean for transportation was trying to sell us other products, and also said we had to me the agent at the hotel the next day at 8:30 AM. Vacation, been up since 2:30 in the morning, flight gets in at 2:30 and 1/2 to the resort. Would like to sleep in maybe. It gets better, check in and the people want to sell you the Travel Club thru Grand Palladium. Need to meet in the lobby at 9 AM. We said no thank NICELY. Well that morning at 7:45 the phone starts RINGING, where are you for your meeting. Arrive for breakfast, and it started within 3 different salespeople. Not interested please we want to enjoy the beach, swim relax. Next day same thing happened all day- even while relaxing at the pool or beach.. During the day always trying to sell something, upgrades.
We will probably not go back to Domemican Republic!!!!
The Resort itself was very well maintained, grounds well kept, great room, facilities are good. Food OK, service FAIR, small beach for the amount of people.
Basically its like a time share resort......that is not for us. Vacation means relaxing not having to listen to sales pitches all day and night long.
Went with friends and we had the best time ever. Staff does everything possible to make you feel comfortable and at home. They will even take shots with you! Food was great and the pools and beaches were fantastic
Resort has potential to be a real 5 Star location, however, not having a helpful, friendly customer service team, will drive customers away.
1) check in was not easy. It was disorganized. I provided all my information to check in. They still wanted print out copies of the confirmation, of course I didn’t have printed outs just the email on my phone.. Over 40 minutes to check in.
2) no one welcome us to the facility. Other resorts have beverages and cold small towels to clean up at lobby / entrance.
3) resort is big and they have one train that drive you between lobbies, restaurants, rooms. The train (supposed) goes around every 20 mins. That didn’t happen and when it did. It was full. If you asked for information no one was willing to help. Several golf carts drove by and they stop Only if you offered tip.
4) beach was dirty. Pools were nice.
5) night shows were bad.
6) game room / sport bar - one pool table, one fútbol table (which was destroyed)
7) steak restaurant had 3 hours wait. They should make it a reservation only type.
Overall, I don’t think I would visit this resort again anytime soon.
Quality of room remodel very poor. No internet service. Lost power for two hours during the night. Missing light bulbs, no working clock, tile work sloppy in bathrooms. Lobby staff noti well informed. Food choices limited. When I asked questions, I got different answers.
Ask questions. Share answers. Get advice.
What's the best excursion? How much should you tip?

Everyone already knew that this was not a good place to stay. Therefore, a review is not necessary. What a terrible experience.

How far are the sister resorts away from this hotel3 answers
2 years, 35 months ago
ohio
These resorts are all located close very close to each other although if you chose to get transportation to and from one of the sister resorts you would be responsible for the cost.
LizCC
Within walking distance. There is a tram/trolley that takes you around the resort but if you are in decent shape and don't have any major health issues related to exercise, it is all walkable. According to our for pedometers, we averaged 2.5-4miles of walking a day. The walks are worth it as well as the resort is beautiful and well kept.
Thirtysomething
Need to take resort transportation or you are in for a LOOOONNNNGGGGG walk in the heat. Transportation is not reliable - advertised as available every 15 minutes - not true.

Some resorts are, but some are a further drive away. If you have any further questions, you may contact the resort directly or call and speak to one of our Beachologists at 1-800-915-2322.
TimCC
Yes you can walk around the whole resort in less then 15 min but they also have a train that bring u around the resorts
Lynns
Yes. To walk from one side of the resort to the other it's 15 minutes max.
Thirtysomething
yes. heat factor should be taken into consideration for long walks however. A standard walk of 15-30 minutes actually felt much longer in the heat and humidity. Advice: save a water bottle and have it filled at the bar - water hard to come by and a must for those walks!
