Reviews
Already missing the Senator
Loudmouth82 (Quebec City, Canada) on Sep 29, 2023
Since my review might be very long and at 99% positive, i will start by saying what i didn't like as much as the rest: The cable only has 24 channels and almost all of them are in spanish. It didn't bother me really because i speak spanish but i can imagine how grumpy someone who can't speak nor understand english must/will feel during a rainy day stuck in his room. Also, the air conditionner could be colder than that, of course i was there in september so the heat outside was unbearable but at the same time, i little more colder would have been appreciated. Now for the good part and to tell you the truth, i kinda knew that i would like the place, even before getting there, many years before, i went to the PlayaBachata (Riu Merengue back then) and i loved it so never did it doubt booking at the Senator. But my 2 weeks there were above what i expected, it was some of the best time i ever spent in Dominican Republic. When i got there, I was greeted by Michel, a sweet lady working at the reception and within 5 minutes my booking was done. And yeah, i speak spanish pretty good so that might have helped but still, in english would have been the same. I also want to thank Karen, Rafael and Robin for their kindness and help everytime i went to get an information at the reception. My room was great, located on the second floor of building 7, I befriended my maid Birgen, another sweet dedicated lady. The Senator and the PlayaBachata (including the old Riu Mambo) are next door to eachother so for a guy like me who doesn't like doing nothing while sitting on a beach, should one enjoy walking and jogging, it's a perfect spot for that. From one end to the other, it's about 1 km and pristine clean. Then the restaurant/buffet, delicious, very accessible and plenty of room for everyone, even during the weekend when locals are there. I was sitting almost everytime at the same place, i can't name all of them who served me but should they be told about my review, they will recognize themselves and to all waiters and waitresses, thank you so much for this first class service with a smile you provided me with everytime i walked in the restaurant. Now, for my favorite spot, Legend's sports bar. The first time i got in the bar, i saw a very old friend of mine, Ariel. When he spotted me, he ran across the bar and hugged me, we haven't seen in 5 years and we never kept in touched in all those years. That tells you how close and friendly they can be in a resort when they like you and you like them. Another one of those old friends i had was Lopez, another great guy. After that i had the pleasure to meet Clase, Erika, Cristileidy, Paola, Julio, Jeidany, etc... i just can't name them all! Before i conclude, i would like to thank someone who has become a very good friend now, her name is Yulisa, if you walk around the resort you will see her, she has long black hair and she is very friendly, if your knowledge on dominican traveling is limited, do yourself a favor and go see her or assist her meetings, trust me, you won't regret it! To finish up my review and to make a long story short, i'm going back to the same exact place in december and even if i was there less than 48 hours ago, i just can't wait to go back. If you plan on visiting Puerto Plata, leave your worries at home and go to the Senator, you are sure to have a good time with excellent staff around you.
Deceiving marketing promotion
Edickson V on Sep 29, 2023
"ALL INCLUSIVE PREMIUM" This is just a marketing gimmick that this hotel uses to get you to book your stay, because when you get to the bar they would tell you that the premium drinks like Bombay and Tanqueray Gins are only for VIP " VIP are people that buy timeshare. However, they have some premium drinks on display at the bar to make you feel like a second class citizen. I spoke we multiple people at the hotel during my stay and they all told me that they would not come back. A la cate restaurants, you can only get two reservations for a seven nights stay. I recommend the Iberostar Resort or Be Live collection. I would not come back, not even for free. You have a lot Canadian people who think that this is a good resort, because it is the first time in the island. The lighting at the buffet is supper bright for dinner, I guess they want you get out of there fast "environmental psychology". IF STAY AT THIS HOTEL YOU WILL REGRET IT".
