Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We really loved this property. It is the last hotel/resort at the end of the road so it is super quiet. It was small, so no large crowds. The pool deck was full everyday but the pool was a little cold the last week of February so very few people used it.
Pros: good service, food was decent (especially if you tipped the cook), huge rooms, huge bathrooms, great hot water/water pressure, clean resort. Very very very very quiet. Interesting nightly entertainment.
Cons: Very hard to get reservations at the 2 "specialty" restuarants. The one near the pool we didn't really enjoy. We did enjoy the asian by the front desk but didn't get in until the last night of our stay so there was no opportunity to have it a 2nd time. THE SAND FLEAS/FLIES (read more below)
Interesting things to note: 1. There is no music by the pool, the only music was at night (about 5/7 nights) by the front desk they had performers of different instruments. This resort is eerily quiet, even with about 100 guests there. 2. The sand flies/fleas are NO JOKE- we have been many different places and even other places in the DR and I've never been bit. I got bit so badly all over my body that we only attempted the beach twice. The resort provides bug spray and the first day I was so hungry I skipped it before we ate and the waiter had to go get me a bottle mid-meal. I got so itchy that the calamine lotion we bought at the sundries store did nothing. Had to resort to rubbing toothpaste on them for relief.
