The resort was overall nice. Our room was beautiful with the pool outside, but the door was broken and hard to open. The staff were friendly and helpful. I was disappointed with the food, it was horrible!! We tried the 3 restaurants and the best one was the Mexican restaurant. I won't be back.

I had a really good experience staying at Emotions by Hodelpa Puerto Plata. The hotel has a beautiful location right by the beach, and the overall atmosphere is lively and fun. The staff were friendly and always willing to help, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The rooms were clean and comfortable, even though some areas of the resort feel a bit outdated. The pools and common areas were well maintained, and there were plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. The food had a good variety, especially at the buffet and restaurants, although some dishes could be better. One of the best parts was how clean everything was and how convenient the location is near Playa Dorada. Overall, it’s a great option for a fun and affordable all-inclusive vacation. Not perfect, but definitely worth it for the price and experience!
