  Spanish Buffet

  Yaniriz and Nereida were amazing! They made our stay amazing. Felt like family every-time we saw them. Resort was ok. Not much to do in regards to nightlife but I really loved the hospitality of the ladies!

  Short but memorable stay

  Was transferred to this hotel due to a flight cancelation. Pros: - Large clean room - Nice beach - where you could actually go in the water - Multiple pools - Service was good at the buffets and the omelets were really good - Food trucks at the beach were pretty neat Cons: - Very large resort - lots of walking - Couldn't take food out of the buffet - Bed was up a level in the room with 2 stairs - No elevators and we were on the 3rd floor and mobility restricted - Incense burning everywhere - made us lightheaded and sick to our stomachs - downright noxious - Food was really elaborate - nothing basic that a picky eater would eat

  Beautiful experience in Punta Cana

  Beautiful and platinum area was less than 5 minutes from beach.My 79 year old wife fell and broke her shoulder and the in house Doctor and medical clinic were so professional and caring. The Doctor arranged for an ambulance ride to hospital where X ray revealed broken shoulder.We fly home today and she has had discomfort but able to travel.Bottom line..Medical clinic and resident Medical staff did an outstanding job.Highly recommend this resort. Grounds are immaculate and the beach was beautiful with ample lounges in sun and shade.No waiting for restaurants and were got reservations easily at all speciality restaurants. We had a group of 13 and were able to seat together or close by. Beutiful natural habitat and nature area for all kinds of birds and the peacocks were always on display.

  Resort Does NOT Accomodate ADA Individuals With Service Dog

  Take note: if you are a disabled person requiring the use of a Service Dog for mobility and/or medical reasons, the resort will NOT allow you. Absolutely ridiculous. I do NOT recommend this resort to anyone.

  Another wonderful experience

  This was our second time at this resort and it was wonderful. We found this resort had the right mix of everything for us. Platinum Upgrade Definitely recommend the Platinum upgrade. The room location was excellent and the additional amenities of PBG, Platinum beach area and small additions were worth it. Food The food was quite good for an all inclusive. The Chopin buffet was great, the breakfast, in particular, was outstanding…both the food and the wait staff service. We ate the the Chopin buffet for dinner two nights which was great. The food is not piping hot but it is a buffet and I have been to some pretty upscale buffets at home and it isn’t either. That said, there were lots of options for proteins and veggies. We really enjoyed it. We also ate à la carte for 5 nights which was great as well. Again, you are not going to a Michelin star restaurant, so don’t expect it. If you go in with reasonable expectations, I think you will be happy. We found our meals to be on the higher end of other à la carte restaurants we have been to at other resorts. Beach This was a real highlight. The beach was amazing. The security at the beach was excellent as well. There are vendors but the security staff monitored them closely to make sure that they were not too pushy. The beach itself had minimal seaweed, soft sand and fun waves. People do get up early to secure loungers in the front but most people did use them. The loungers were very comfortable. There was excellent beach service. The staff work so hard to make sure everyone is taken care of. There are also staff coming regularly to clean up as well. They kept the bathrooms very very clean. The beach bar was excellent at the Platinum section. Pools We are not pool people but the Platinum Pool looked very clean. We did not spend any time at the large pool. One recommendation would be for there to be a designated kids pool. One of the deterrents for me using the platinum pool is that there were a lot of kids around splashing and playing. I don’t fault them for that, they were just having fun, but it would be a nice addition to have an adults only platinum pool. That said, I know it is not an adults only resort so I do not fault the resort for this. Rooms The rooms are spacious and kept very clean. They are not ever fancy but they are quite nice. We did not have any issues with mildew despite being in a tropical climate. We had an issue with our refrigerator which was resolved quickly. Our housekeeper did a wonderful job. The decks are huge. We were on a main roadway/pathway so there was a fair bit of traffic but when the patio door was closed we didn’t hear a thing. Grounds The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. I found it to be fairly well lit at night. We went for a walk every night after dinner which was lovely. We felt very safe and comfortable and there were security staff quietly placed everywhere which was great. There were lots of birds as and wildlife. I got bit by some bugs (likely mosquitoes or noseeums) but again we are in a tropical climate. They do spray but that is just part of the tropics. The mangrove walk was really nice too and a nice way to incorporate the natural flora of the area. All in all we love the resort and will be back in March or April for visit number 3. The staff are phenomenal. Yes there can be a language barrier, but in case you haven’t noticed, you are in a Spanish speaking country. Most staff, however do speak some English. They work very hard to make everyone’s experience great. That said, I witnessed some less than lovely guests who could you some charm-school lessons. I also saw a lot of people not tip for great service which in my opinion is unacceptable. While the resort is not perfect, for the cost, it is excellent value and I highly recommend it. I have been to about 20 different t resorts over the years and this by far ticked most of the boxes.
