First experience at an all inclusive resort, and that aspect of it is exceptional. Anything you could possible need regarding food at drink at any hour is provided. Being at the resort is a bit like being in a gilded cage, and isolated from what feels like the "real" Dominican Republic The food is fancy by Mid-Western standards, but those who live on the west coast or in "foodie" culture will be disappointed. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, advertised as "suites" but not really two separate spaces.
Also be advised that there is no physical barrier between the Adults Only Secrets side and the family-oriented Larimar side. Those older folks wishing to take an afternoon nap will likely be woken up by the 3pm Foam Party blasting pop music from Larimar.

More signage to navigate throughout the resort would definitely be helpful; and while all the staff there speak limited english, a knowledge of Spanish will go much farther should you wish to communicate.
