Nov 12, 2026Worst Caribbean Experience
STAY AWAY!! By far, the worst Caribbean experience in the past 30 years of travel. The A/C in the room broke down twice. The beach is non existent due to corrosion. Palm trees are growing a few inches from the water. The water quality is like minced sargasm soup. One of the two pools was closed for three days under maintenance causing over capacity at the open pool. Did not have a single decent meal. The food is often cold (buffets and a la carte). Their beef tenderloin (filet mignon) was flank steak folded in two. We don’t drink a lot of alcohol and my wife and I suffered from food poising on separate occasions. The staff look depressed and hardly smiles like they don’t want to work there. We were stalked by a staff member for a time share from the time we got out of the shuttle at the resort, called us at 7:30 am the next morning and waited for us to leave our room for breakfast. I had to respectfully tell this annoying guy to stay away from us. Needless to say, we are never going back. The Catalonia Royal Tulum in Mexico was by far a much more superior experience.

Oct 24, 2026Family Trip
We had a really great family time of this resort, since the main reception where we met this kind woman call fanelis, she was really good and funny during our check in process , we met Sofia and Rosalinda from the main buffet who were awesome and kind women ,they really make you feel warm , we were celebrating a birthday we had a great time at beloved restaurant , Lenny I think he is the supervisor from this restaurant, if he is not , he should be, he has all the knowledge to become one,a girl helps us with a dinner reservation from concierge , she was really good and helpful, I think her name is emily, also I want to mention Diego the manager he is very good at what he does. Also you should improve more activities.🥲

Must visit
2nd time visiting DR. Always stay at this hotel. If you want relaxation this is the spot. Good food, clean rooms, drinks and customers service awesome. Front desk receptionist Elisha! Deserves a raise and promotion. Her patience and kindness is just what I needed after a horrible plane ride and she helped me with a reservation that I screwed up booking the wrong hotel. God bless her ❤️
