This is actually my first time ever reviewing a hotel. only because how disappointed me and my husband were during this trip. When we were looking to book a all inclusive, we always look to see what kind of food the place has and restaurants they have since my husband likes to eat. But this specific hotel had some kind...

If your plan is to go all inclusive, this is the hotel to go in Puerto Plata. It has supreme views, it's own beach, super nice rooms and great food! The bar has a nice assortment of drinks and the staff is super nice!

Im not an all inclusive type of person. We went there to eat but was not thrilled too much. The food was just OK and we had to ask for everything. Not top shelf in any area. Looks like a fun place though if 5 star is not important. It's more a party place.

I was at first a little disappointed with the age of the resort, but it turned out to be an good choice. The staff are excellent and overwhelm you with their professionalism. The food was varied and very good...no complaints there. There entertainment was very good included 2 good dance shows and a great Saturday night band.

I loved this resort. It was very clean. The pool was beautiful. The workers were very friendly. Plenty of food choices for everyone. Everything was close and convenient. The beach was beautiful. We went during a slow time so there were not too many events to keep us busy, times were a bit boring. I will say this was the... More
