Review of Now Larimar Punta Cana Resorts...

Good affordable option to have access to full Now ...

Good affordable option to have access to full Now Lamiar resort. The Now gardens are about a 5 minute walk (or short golf cart ride - which is always available by request)to the full resort which has more food options, pools, beach access, and more entertainment options.

I actually preferred staying in the Now Gardens area rather than the Now Lamiar area because:
-It is alot quieter and peaceful in the gardens/less people
-The pool is nice and has alot of open chairs and beds everyday. You won't find any open beds in the full resort pools unless you are a preferred member.
- The snack bar by the pool is open most of the day along with the beverage bar, with in pool bar seating
- Windows had same buffet breakfast and lunch options as the Carnival buffet in main resort but was closer, in the Now Gardens area
- Capers (Italian restaurant) was one of the better restaurants at the resort and is in the Now Gardens area

Rating the Now Lamiar resort and Now Gardens resort as a whole, the food is not very favorful and is usually lukewarm. Some staff members were great, but some had a poor attitude when serving you. As an English speaker, it was difficult at times to communicate with the staff, but is doable.

The Now Gardens rooms were adequate but nothing special. The resort was very clean and had lots of good entertainment options throughout the day.

Tips:
-When you check in, they hand you a golden key coupon, which is for a time share presentation.
-Make sure to bring some cash with you, as most employees here work for tips.
-Making a reservation at the Spice (Japanese) restaurant IS worth it. Best food at the resort.
- The alcohol is not as strong as American alcohol, but if you ask for more in your drink the bartenders will happily do that for you
- The house wine served at the restaurants seems to be normally alcohol strength, unlike the alcohol in their other cocktails (^see above)
