Liked: Staff & service
The property is quite small and also older construction. The building I stayed in (believe it was Building 2 or 3) had a mildew smell in the hallways. The elevator was also very small and also looked older/weathered. When I got to my room, I noticed the AC was not cold enough for the outside temperature. It did not go past 22C/72F. The bathroom vanity light also did not work on one side. Finally, the bed was dirty when I arrived; I found a black pair of underwear tucked behind the mattress into the space between the headboard. The throw blanket was also visibly filthy. I called twice to complain about this but nothing was done. The restaurants are decent although I found the buffet food decent at best; everything lacked flavor. The restaurant over the beach had great Dominican food however. Drinks were also either veryyyy sweet or the rum tasted watered down. Staff was very kind and accommodating, so complaints with them.

This resort is absolutely stunning and such a great place for our honeymoon! The food was great (there were plenty of food options on site), all of the staff will go the extra mile to ensure that you feel comfortable and welcomed. Check-in process was easy and fairly quick, only negative was that we did not get the room we had initially booked. Pool staff provided amazing service including, setting up your spot for when you come to lounge by the pool or beach, making sure you have plenty of shade, and always have a drink so sip on! A few employees that I can remember that were extremely friendly and personal with us and always checking in on us were Jose and Oscar. As well as our favorite bartender Domingo! Highly recommended for your first stay in Punta Cana I can’t say enough great things about this property.

Came here with my partner for my birthday trip and had a nice time. The resort itself is very nice and the views from the room are beautiful. Service was good, but Alexis the bartender near the beach, was Amazing! There wasn’t a big variety of food to choose from and you only have 1 place for breakfast, outside of ordering room service. The restaurants in the sanctuary town open at 6 but the sushi spot and pizza were very good. I was underwhelmed with the variety of food. The beach is not the best. From the room the room the water looks immaculate but the beach area for guest to swim is very murky. It almost looked like lake water and there were lots of rocks. The pools are very nice and the castle pool is beautiful and a little more private. Our room was great and had a steps were you could walk out onto the sand, but the area was full of seaweed and some trash that could be cleaned a little. All in all we enjoyed our stay. With a better variety of food and better beach, I’d be back.

Beautiful Property, Beautiful views, room and incredible staff. This all inclusive is very luxurious, clean, we had an amazing time. I recommended this experience to everybody, you have all you need inside, entertainment is great and the people are so incredibly nice and attentive. Pools are great, you have access to the beach. I will say the beach is a bit murky but didn't stop us from having a great time, food is better than most of all inclusives even though I still think there could be improvement in the quality. All in all we had an amazing experience, sad to leave but will definitely come back for more !!

I booked this resort for my husband's 40th birthday and it was exceptional. Our butler Frank was very attentive he made our dining reservations and arrangedfor pick up. Housekeeping was in cleaning and restocking every time we left out of the room. They have several options for eating all ranging from elegant dining to pizza. The property is clean and the staff is extraordinary. We most definitely will be returning to stay longer.
