"My wife and I really liked this resort. We've been to the DR 8 times, and I would say that this place ranks in the top 3. Check in was smooth. We had a 3rd floor room in building 9 which was a very convenient place to be. There are 2 main pools. We spent our time at the one closest to the beach. The staff does an awesome job keeping them clean. You will read reviews where folks say there are not enough umbrellas around the pool. That is pure crap, there are plenty. We were usually poolside by 9:00 and always got the spot we wanted. The guys at the swim-up bar were awesome! Diogenes (Dio), Wander and Francisco took good care of everyone. We would hit the beach in the afternoon and never had a problem finding chairs in the shade. Yes, there is seaweed at the beach, but the staff does their best to keep up with it. The food at the main buffet was pretty good. The guys making the omelets in the morning were 1st class. There is a small buffet at the beach (open air) which is perfect for lunch. As for dinner we tried Route 66 which was really good American food (shout out to Yaris in this place), the Steakhouse (shout out to Jose), and the Japanese restaurant were also very good. The Piano Lounge is an awesome stop. The gent starts playing at 9:00, plays for about 45 minutes, takes a 30-minute break, and then plays from 10:15 until 11:00. He plays 8 to 10 songs, and you knew every one of them (Elton, Billy, Queen, etc…). We have already said that we are coming back next year."
