Very pleasant stay. 4 1/2 out of 5*, Google didn't let me rate the 1/2. We just came back from Punta Cana, where we stayed at this resort. The food was good ,staff was very professional ,helpful and friendly, room was clean and the resort through out was very well maintained and clean. The only things are ,room was a bit outdated and the resort was small, hence, small beach front . We had to get up early to get a spot, or else by midday there would be no more vacancy, not even one with no shade. If you travel with kids, I'd recommend opting for the preferred section, this will save time walking back and forth as there was a restaurant for meals right at the beach front. We didn't take this option, which we regretted, because we had to walk back and forth to get food for the kids (my children are 3 years old and 9 months old) at the buffet further inside the resort. We could get away with giving food from the snack bar, which offered BBQ finger food such as fries ,hot dog and burgers, to the toddler but with the baby we needed hot water for her cereal or soft food like soup or mashed potatoes. Plus ,the beach for preferred section always had vacant spots. Other than that, we had a very pleasant stay at the resort .Highly recommended .
