The Bad ... The Bad and the Ugly
Ok so here is a straight up review of the resort. 1. The pictures that are in the slide show are NOT the pictures of the resort they are of a different ones... FALSE ADVERTISING. Only about 5 of the pictures are of the actual resort (the bad ones) so BEWARE The rooms were filthy and we had to stay in three different ones prior to finding one that was decent. The workers of the resort were very friendly however any of the higher up people were rude and ignored you for everything. Because this was our honeymoon we were supposed to get a complementary bottle of rum and a fruit tray... they promised us this three times and we received Nothing. Luckily this was just an extended honeymoon from the year before when we stayed in punta cana at the IFA villas which was WONDERFUL. The basic room at the IFA is like the suite at this resort. If this was our primary honeymoon i would have been outraged. Every person I spoke to at the resort hated the rooms they all stated that they were filthy ... couldnt get any wash cloths to shower with and had to hide toilet paper. While we were down there they had to fumigate the rooms to exterminate cockroaches which i also saw in the buffet area. Bottom line if you stay at this resort and love it ... its obviously your first time in punta cana. Only one person said they were satisfied with this place the whole week we were there and it was their first. If you stay at this resort you will be severely disappointed... Especially if you have stayed down there before and know what kind of an awesome time the Dominican Republic can be.

Good Value for your money
This hotel is a straight up 3 star. The food was good. The beach was very nice. The staff was noncommittal and not overly friendly but not rude. I would only stay at this hotel again if it was priced significantly lower than other hotels in the area. It was a good value for the amount I paid.

If you plan to sightsee I would recommend you rent a car. Taxi rates in Punta Cana I find pretty pricey.

Hate Roaches
Do yourself a favor and not stay here
It was the vacation I would not wish on anyone. The rooms smell of the chemicals they use to get kill the roaches and boy there were plenty of them. The chemicals also made my 3 yr old sick. The staff is rude and most of the staff does not speak English. There was a constant towel shortage. The food was always a miss and the list goes on. If you use the spa bring a timer they will short you on the time.

very good
The service and activities were good. There were many organized game-activites and nightly shows of high quality. Most of the waiters and waitresses were superb. Attention to time for activities and pick up is impressive. Overall this is a good vacation site. The management should work harder on responding promptly to requests for fixing deficiencies in the rooms.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
I have never been so disgusted with a hotel in my life before. This hotel took us 3 hours to check in…3 hours! The room had no pictures, tv didn't work, and smelled funky. They charge you for everything and don't maintain the hotel room at all. WE GOT SO SICK FROM THE FOOD. We literally had nothing to eat by the end of the trip except bread. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
