This property was very average, not very high security, anyone could walk in. The streets surrounding it were very sketchy. Beach was across the street from the main buildings/pools. Twice during my stay there was NO running water. People had to use the spa/gym showers.

There was a place crash at the airport and I was unable to make my check in time due to delays. The hotel refused to lodge us and refused to give us a refund for our trip. Even though we had the travel agency message them in advance to inform them we would be late.

The staff was amazing! I can't say enough for how welcoming and accommodating all of the staff was, especially Santo. The mixed drinks were fine, a little light, but if you ask for strong, they make it happen. The food wasn't anything to write home about, but it was always will presented and we always found something to eat. The beach was nice, we were always able to find a lounge chair (in the shade) and we really enjoyed our swim up room. Yes, the swim up pool was a bit chilly because it was in the shade a majority of the day. But it was a nice option to be able to cool down and just relax in the quiet, so close to our room. Each night that had different entertainment. My only complaints would be the restaurants weren't all open while we were there (or we were never able to get into one of them) and that the food wasn't as good as we hoped. But we managed just fine and it gave us a reason to go explore more of the local areas. We are hoping to return to the area!

This is I would say a 3 star hotel for those that do not want to travel to Punta Cana or Samana or surrounding areas. I have been here many times. I have to say the staff was great! They were very kind and professional. The entertainment was amazing especially the Saturday entertainment where the guys danced from the 1940s on, it was beautiful. However, the property needs a lift right away. The areas are outdated. My room was ok but it could have been better. But the worst part was the people selling timeshares! My husband went for a weekend, and they were driving us crazy to attend a 90 minute presentation! This was unacceptable! It made me uncomfortable because they dont take no for an answer unless you curse them out and are super rude to them, and that is something I do not want to be. Hence, the hotel needs to get those people under control and train them to be less agressive, because no one wants to be harassed while on vacation. Not staying there again unfortunately.
