The hotel had a lot going for it, with spacious and comfortable rooms, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. However, I did encounter some issues like a broken shower light and a non-functioning jacuzzi tub. The dining experience left something to be desired as it often felt repetitive. Overall, the stay was good, but a few improvements could really elevate the experience.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is decent, but it doesn't really feel like a five-star resort. The rooms were clean but lacked some basic amenities, and the service varied quite a bit; while some staff were friendly, others were indifferent. Dining was enjoyable, but be prepared for a sales pitch during your meals. Overall, I expected a little more for the price I paid.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, particularly enjoying the relaxing moments in our Privileged Romance Deluxe Junior Suite, which featured its very own infinity pool. Given the seaweed on the beach during my visit, the pool was a delightful alternative. While the rooms could have been more in line with the pictures, I appreciated the extensive service. The staff was friendly and accommodating, especially Ana at the front desk. However, the location was a bit remote for those wanting to explore Punta Cana seamlessly.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and I have to say, the location is stunning, with beautiful beaches and relaxing palm trees. The room was clean but didn't quite match the pictures we saw, and I had a bit of trouble getting hot water for the shower at first. The service was a mixed bag; some staff members were fantastic, while others didn't seem as attentive as expected for a 5-star hotel. Overall, I felt the facilities and dining options could use a little improvement, but the value for money was decent.

I had a really mixed experience at this hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the grounds were lovely, but sadly, the room had a terrible odor and wasn't as clean as I expected for a five-star venue.

Overall, while there were some great aspects, there were also significant letdowns.
