Unfortunately, I want to add a fly in the ointment to all the happy reviews. First of all, the presence of a locomotive on the territory of the hotel that runs on diesel fuel and drivers who do not turn off the engine while parking greatly spoils the rest. Therefore, those who want to get some air are not here. The notorious The animation, which everyone writes about so enthusiastically, made the opposite impression on me: there is no children's animation at all (taking children to the mini club and watching cartoons is not animation. ) There is a wonderful program hanging on the stand every day, which is not performed. Minidisco is a laughingstock. Only competitions after disco for children with prizes are successful. Animation on the beach and near the pool is designed for Americans (bluntly aggressive), for example, find a young girl as a victim, fill her eyes with sand for fun, and a lot of guests have a lot of fun. Walking along the beach and on the territory of the hotel photo of the model (national costumes... ) for $ 8 per photo...
As for food... It’s varied, but everything is unfinished in the Dominican way. If fresh, then with water; if fruit, then only peeled and chopped (if you have small children, then you won’t be able to eat with you on the beach (which young mothers complained about children)) Maintenance and service, in my opinion, want the best.
The conclusion is simple: In the Dominican Republic, it’s good for those who love ROM (and it’s good) and the ocean (PERFECT) For me, this resort will remain a resort once. with TEZTOUR (very high quality). As for souvenirs: 20 minutes walk along the beach to the right, there is a market (we divide the price by 3-5). It is much more diverse and cheaper than the hotel one. For those who pay attention to SPORT in the hotel description: gym - it's two treadmills, four bikes, two top and press machines for 12 sq. m with 80% occupancy from 8 to 20 (and 10% from 14-16 (lunch time)) Three normal courts (mediocre rackets for free ) Pretty dead mini-golf course.

Sauna and spa are very expensive even for Americans (there is always empty). Pools: two in the middle of the hotel are clean and with a good bar and bartenders.
Please note that this is my and my family's opinion.
