Amazing Resort and Staff

Richard B on Jan 31, 2025

A very beautiful resort and an amazing staff to boot. The Animation team - Dana, Jennifer, Raian, Cristobal made our stay magical, and so much fun. Thank you for your hospitality and your kindness. The food, music and accommodations were all spectacular, and we could not be more impressed and happy with our stay at our second home.

It was our first time at this hotel, and it was simply an unforgettable experience!! The facilities are spacious, beautiful, well decorated, the food is fabulous but the best of all was the attention and charisma of Yaniriz our waitress at the shopin Thank you for everything, you are great Yaniriz.

Book this resort!

Robin J on Jan 30, 2025

Amazing resort! Beautiful architecture, the beach is stunning, the “tranquil pool” will bring immediate calm. We also loved the Passeo Ecologica with beautiful trees, birds, Guinea pigs, and a waterfall. The staff is all so warm and welcoming - special shout out to the FABULOUS Mayyte, Milagros and Juan Rodriguez!! Mayyte is particular was our server at the Hispaniola buffet almost every day and made our stay so special. Gracias, Mayyte! Tips for US travelers: pack Pepto Bismol, Imodium, and Advil. The resort is clean and beautiful, but traveling to the DR from the US means you may run into stomach issues no matter how careful you are. It’s super common. I was bedridden for a day but I still loved this trip and wouldn’t change anything.

warning: widespread food poisonings and fake reviews from this resort

dutchesskt (Toronto, Canada) on Jan 29, 2025

A large group in our party all experienced food poisoning, with the majority of individuals significantly affected, despite taking every precaution to avoid such an outcome like washing hands frequently, and choosing "safe" foods. The hotel manager frequently references test results in reviews, claiming no bacteria are found in the food (tests that probably don't exist), and taking no responsibility and blaming it on a greater virus in the region but given the numerous complaints from other guests, and similar reviews below, it is evident that there is a critical problem with the food and drink at this resort that demands immediate attention and continues to be ignored by management. Blaming external factors while refusing to take accountability is disgraceful and incorrect because food handling is clearly not a priority at this resort; the same tongs are used for cooking, raw fish, are never cooked and food is left out for hours and re-used for days at a time. After informing staff about our group’s illness, we were invited to a "special dinner" at the Platinum Buffet Chopin, which turned out to be a poorly disguised sales pitch while we were simultaneously being eaten alive by mosquitos. Additionally, the resort suffers from a pervasive sewage smell due to the nearby swamp, which affects all the tap water, including the water in the shower and what is used to clean food, which then leads to people getting sick.
