I have enjoyed in the past. The times I have stayed over all star in Dominican republic most of the staff very friendly and service oriented. I cannot say the same for all the staff at the front desk was quite disappointed when I had a couple of complains of things that need to be fixed in my room and our friends room and they were did not bother to do it it was done when we approached a security staff employee and after that escalated with the appropriate person in charge of doing that. Of escalation situations. So although my stay there in the past has been good this time it was semi-good noticing the area did need some improvements there was some mild deterioration and like I said a lot of the staff was excellent it was just a small group at the front desk reception area that were not that helpful. Which has seriously made me consider regarding going back there again

The hotel was spotless and well-maintained, with a spacious pool and easy access to the beach—perfect for relaxing in the sun. The all-inclusive meals were tasty, with a great variety of food and drinks to enjoy. Staff were warm and welcoming, and check-in was a breeze. The nightly shows were lively and fun, and I especially loved how the music continued at the plaza afterward—it really brought everyone together. All in all, a beautiful resort experience, and I’d definitely stay again!

Muy buena recepción y staff, hotel prácticamente limpio, instalaciones mejoradas, área de playa buena, la piscina en buenas condiciones, la variedad de las comidas en el buffet puede ser mejorada. Tuve un inconveniente con mi familia al querer cenar en el restaurante Mexicano, eran las 9:10 de la noche y no nos dejaron pasar por la hora que era hasta las 9:00 y a veces hasta las 9:30 de la noche, y cuando volvimos a pasar a las 9:35-9:40 habían entrado otras personas, extranjeros y al parecer los dejaron entrar porque cuando fuimos no estaban en esa mesa cuando fuimos, y de igual forma en la app de Iberostar dice que está abierto hasta las 10:00 de la noche.

Years ago this hotel was outstanding but now it is a total disappointment place. Roaches, structures needs urgent repairs, food has no taste at all and basically is the same thing everyday; The overnight receptionist is very rude, the only way to move here and have good and fast attention is constantly tipping waiters except for a few that perform their jobs in a friendly and professional manner. If you choose regular rooms you will get 2 small beds where 2 adults barely fit. If you’re lucky you’ll also have bedbug as partners and you’ll notice the next day. Even though the customer service dept make all their best to satisfy customers demands is practically impossible because the property needs and demand a totally upgrade. Deficient A/C ( my family and I was switched to other room but still the AC wasn’t enough good. Absolutely dissatisfied! Too many issues during my stay here since the first day until the last day, the room was completely renovated, we had to kill cockroaches in the room and endure bedbug bites. Sliding door for the terrace without Security because it was broken.
