Property was clean, nightly entertainment was offered, spacious rooms, adults, peaceful & friendly staff were highlights. We didn't spend a lot of time at the beach since we were there to relax and persistent vendors were everywhere. I'm not sure I would stay here again due to the mediocre food and limited all day options. This was my first trip to Punta Cana. We enjoyed it but I enjoyed the Cancun resort life & beaches more.

This is my third time at this resort. We love the rooms with private pools and swim-up suites. The staff is wonderful! there are lots of dining options and the beach is gorgeous and not crowded. The spa is wonderful as is the gym. The closests could use a few more hangers but that is my only complaint.

Beautiful resort. Relaxing and enjoyable. Beaches and pool area wonderful. Food could’ve been a little better. The people who hound you on the beach and by the pool to purchase excursions and other items is too much. Resort needs to address this.

Resort has nice finishes and very clean. Beautiful landscaping and beach. The food was all very much bland and lacked consistency with the exception of the breakfast buffet. I would go back but the food would need a complete overhaul. If you do go the beach front honey moon terrace sweet is highly recommended. Right on beach with plunger pool on roof. Very nice.
