Features
What to expect: Small by north-coast Dominican Republic standards, the resort appeals to budget-minded couples and families from North American and Europe. Amenity highlights: The large main pool consists of two levels, includes a swim-up bar and a children's section, and is the focus of daytime activities such as water aerobics. Off to one side, a good-size "quiet pool" provides tranquil sunbathing on an expansive flagstone deck. The beach curves along a large bay that offers calm water for swimming and snorkeling. Insider tip: As part of the All-Inclusive Plan, guests may eat and drink at restaurants and bars and use pools and other facilities at two sister resorts within strolling distance.
