The property lacked a sufficient number of chairs especially around the pool area. The food options were very limited and to get into the specialty restaurants were almost impossible to get in. The buffet had very few choices.

The staff were amazing and very accommodating, especially Sheraldyn who went out of her way to help me many times always with a pleasant smile. The accommodations are clean but I had a room on the North side next to the Hyatt and could hear the loud music played outside at the Hyatt late into the night, if you party until 2am it’s not an issue.

Property itself was so-so (room needed some update). Food was okay. Surprising that food was not better at resort. Mixed as far as staff friendliness. Some were very friendly but at least 1/4 of who we dealt with not so friendly.

I had a hard time at the pool everyone was reserved there seats with towels at 3 am so it was impossible to sit at the pool and then when I got a chair someone came after my family saying that she was watching the seats for another guest and it must have been my first day there because I don’t know the rules. So anyways if you stay there then be prepared to fight for pool chairs.

Nice property. Good food options . Staff is friendly however we did run into two women upon check in who were not welcoming nor friendly. Also it was a hassle to get face towels the 1st couple days but eventually things started to get better and they were more consistent with the face towels . They clean the rooms VERY well and restock us with water and sodas . I dislike how they allow guest to wake up early in the morning to put their towels on pool chairs and leave for hours leaving no chairs for the people who are actually in the pool . They also charge you if you don’t return your towel , and I came across a family who took one of our towels and if I had not seen it happen I would’ve been short 30 dollars. Pool bar staff friendly and make nice drinks . I disliked having to wear this big brown thick wrist band my entire stay it was irritating . They beach is beautiful clean and lots of water activities to do . Was able to book excursions at hotel .

I love the location of the resort. It is right on the beach. They kept my room clean and spotless. Lots of food choices. My favorite was the Japanese with the show… book soon as you check in. It goes fast! All inclusive. All staff were friendly except for front desk at check in. Overall would definitely visit again.

Very friendly atmosphere from timeshare regulars. Staff definitely favors regulars. Lobby bars staff was good, but pool bartenders were very uninterested in serving most time, especially the 1 women behind the bar. Very unfriendly and & took forever to come o er or acknowledge. There needs to be more chairs around pool as mentioned over and over. Also, the food quality should be significantly better for the rating and price.

I have Never had to wake up at 3 am to reserve a spot by the pool but here you had to wake up in order to have a poolside chair or bed . By 7 you had no chance of ever getting a chair or Bed . That was every day on the trip. Washcloths were impossible to get for your bathroom . The food was always served Luke warm never hot . Even cold. The staff was very friendly and nice place was clean. This was during off peak season.

I’ll start with I should’ve done more research before booking this trip. We stayed at Barcelo in Punta Cana and it was amazing and I had a friend who had been to this facility and said it was wonderful so I booked it. We booked Royal level so we checked in on the 9th floor. The ceiling in the office looked like it was falling down from a water leak. After we got to our room, we unpacked everything and wanted to go eat. We found that the safe didn’t work. We knew they couldn’t exchange it and we didn’t want to pack everything back up and move so we let it go. We went down to the buffet to eat and the food options were not great and what was there was not good. We ate at the buffet a couple times and the royal level restaurant a couple times and the food was always lack luster. Almost every time we sat down I had to ask for clean forks because they were dirty. The staff would act offended each time I asked. There were a few very friendly people there but none of them were our servers. They didn’t keep our water glasses filled and never offered refills on things like juice. The pool was very small and stayed packed so we never stepped foot near it. People were up at 4 am and earlier grabbing up the few palapas they have available. We left 2 days early because we were so disappointed in the facility, food, and lack of activities.

We booked through a third party vendor for a 5-day/4-night stay, Deluxe Ocean View accommodation. We paid the additional fee with the understanding that we would have an actual view of the ocean, however our view as limited to the parking lot, shipping containers, and the roof of a retail store. We immediately complained to guest services at the front desk, thinking there was a mistake made, and was told we had to wait until Monday to speak with a reservations manager (even though we check out on Tuesday), and the hotel was at full capacity, so they could not move us. I went down to speak with a reservations manager this morning (Monday) only for her to say that the Deluxe Ocean view is just a partial view of the ocean. This is not what was advertised when payment was obtained, nor does the current view from the patio, offer any "ocean scene" at all! This trip was for husband and cousin's birthday, and my cousin and his wife were supposed to have a seaside view and they did not get that either. Not only were the accommodations falsely advertised, the entire stay was below par for this to be considered a 5-star resort. The resort itself is small, but seemed to have plenty of staff, so we did not understand why the service was slow at the bar, in the restaurants, wait service at the buffets, and little to no service at all was provided while we lounged on the beach. And then there was the food and drinks... neither were good.
