The resort is a little outdated, but still in a decent shape. Small enough to easily walk to the beach, pool, restaurants, etc...the beach area is very shaded with plenty of lounge chairs. Bring bug/mosquitoes repellent or ask for room in the upper floor.
What I like:
1) Small resort with easy access to the beach, restaurants, and pools. Great for kids and elders.
2) The beach is nice, very shaded, with plenty of lounge chairs to relax
3) The rooms with balcony/ocean view are nice, good to sit and relax.
What I DID NOT Like:
1) The FOOD was very BAD, both in term of quality and selection. On average, the buffet has about 10 main dishes each time, but they were mostly very bland and tasteless. I also noticed that they used a lot of the leftovers from the prior day to cook foods for the next day (just in different form). The quality was also bad. For example, beef steaks were very chewy. Seafoods tasted like they were from frozen bags.
2) The resort is very far from Punta Cana airport (PUJ), about 1.5 hour car ride. I didnt realize that until after I finished with all the reservations. You can fly into other nearby airports.
3) The staff was friendly, but mostly didnt speak much English at all. Only a few spoke some English.
4) The check-in process was VERY LONG. The agent checked us in, disappeared for a while, came back, and left again. No information was provided, just left us.
5) Only Presidente beer is included. All other import beers, you have to pay ($7 )
