Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and well-equipped rooms, though some issues with old bedding and bugs were noted. The view from the room was exceptional, and the inclusion of a kitchenette with a stocked mini fridge added convenience. The location directly on the beach was fantastic, providing easy access to the water and exclusive amenities. The dining experience offered a varied selection of meals, from Dominican cuisine to more basic options. The facilities were generally satisfactory, with a focus on guest comfort and convenience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was beautiful, and I enjoyed the nearby attractions, but there were some issues with the room that affected my overall experience. The service was top-notch, yet the dining options left something to be desired.
I had a fabulous stay at the hotel. The rooms were excellent – very large, clean, and stocked daily. While there was a minor issue with the room size not meeting expectations, the management was helpful in resolving this matter with Air Transit and Expedia. The service was top-notch; the staff was fantastic and always attentive to guests' needs, ensuring everyone was well taken care of. The location was amazing, right on the beach, and conveniently close to Puerto Plata for easy exploration. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a wide variety of delicious food at some venues but a poorly done buffet setup at others. Overall, a wonderful experience with some minor hiccups.
