Nada mas entre al barrio el olor a aguas albañales estaba en todos lados, y cuando entré a la habitacion, mi unica decision era que me quedaria primero a dormir en el auto que en esa habitacion, horrible los muebles viejos obscurity y no se repiraba un ambiente seguro, al final no me quede en el hotel ni 5 minutes y me fui , mi sugerencia e expidia, siendo yo un cliente de tanto años es que retiren este hotel de sus ofertas ya que no cumple con los minims standards de un hotel, mas tarde hare un claim para mi reembolso.

I did NOT like it at all !

I hated everything about the food. The first day I went to the snack bar, there were flies everywhere. It was such a turn off! The food at the buffet was not good either, I just left and bought food on the road or at Bavaro Beach next door. The bathroom was so hard to look at. In between the tiles were brown and look like they years of dirt and soap scum trapped and the pipes were rusty and clearly old and needing replacement. The lady said it was “wear and tear due to cleaning” WHAT!!!? I showered in cold water because there was just no hot water. On the last morning I had to leave the shower running for 20min before it got a little lukewarm. Shout out to Erick though, he tried his best to make me feel comfortable and even got the restaurant to give me a whole cake for my birthday. Overall, this hotel needs some serious upgrades to even be considered anything more than a 2 star hotel.

Avoid if you can afford elsewhere

A la carte restaurant is terrible, slow. Buffet mediocre and unless you are early they don’t replensish the food. Few staff speak English. Tiny amount of cocktails on the menu and all made with cheapest liquor and often don’t have the ingredients for all of them. Can be very noisy. Small pools. Only upside is a couple of the bar staff are great. Beach is terrible covered in seaweed and smelly so cannot get to the sea. Sister hotel charged $50 for a day pass
