| This place was quite impressive from their all-inclusive food/beverage and with their nightly entertainment-Class A. My husband & I really lucked out, esp. w/ our room (ocean view). Our first night there was just too good to be true. Out-door dinner-buffet w/ entertainment. They served grilled meats and lobsters!!! imagine, all-u-can EAT. And for those planning a trip to DR, this place is very family oriented---UR children will be well supervised and catered. Don't just take my words...do your hw before booking and use all the resources that Expedia offers. Good luck. Well-traveled gal

| the activities were great, but the hotel room has old furniture, the bed spreads smelt of mildew, and the air conditioner did not work well. the hotel is not as I expected. I think the buffet, especially breakfast can be updated, from the same boring food.

| We had a great trip, but the hotel had several problems. When we first arrived, we were hounded by sales people trying to schedule excursions for the next several days. Our room had problems with the A/C unit rattling and we finally we moved the last night to another room, and that A/C quit working in the night and no hot water. Plus some drunks got rowdy at 4am and woke up the whole building, no security around. Our friends on the other hand, didn't have any trouble with their room so I guess it's the luck of the draw. The Beach was nice, but lots of people coming around selling items, need to get down there early to get a good space. The food pretty good, buffet had lots of options.

| Motel room had no A/C, result of mold and mildew smell very bad, paint peeling from walls and ceiling, everything wet. Oceanview room was of trees, I think we saw maybe a dozen rooms that could actually see ocean. Food was very bland, no flavor and meat was, how should I say, different. Band played music very loud outside your room if your had "oceanview room" until very late, so load you could not talk let alone sleep. And you better like cigerette smoke, smoking was every where. PS at the airport do not let anyone take your luggage unless he is the actual driver. cost you $20 to have bags carried 8'.
