Not what I expected!!
Pros:

I liked the Oregano restaurant.

Cons:

Customer service is bad, food is not great, nothing fun for kids, the kids place is aways closed, employees are always upset. Nothing fun to do, except for the pool, or if you find something to do outside the hotel. The people from the VIP they will take half of your day to try to get you in, and at the end they don’t want to talk about price. Just wasted my money and time, brought my kids and there’s nothing fun for them to do. The rooms were ok, my room the AC was dropping water everywhere and it was a mess, and the bathroom always smelled like poop.

I feel bad for who ever comes here and waste their money and time. If you want to get ice scream you have to purchase it.

Cons:

Le bruit de la musique à la piscine et des spectacles car notre chambre étant très proche et la musique très forte.
Le buffet n'est très varié et les mêmes choses cuisiné de façon différente.

Una vida de reyes
Pros:

Las atenciones fueron excelentes, el personal, una excelente limpieza la comida riquísima y mucha variedad

Cons:

Lo único que no me gusto fue que las personas encargada de vender membresía nos eligieron para dar una charla sobre una membresía esta bien pero pasamos mucho tiempo perdido porque al final no estaba en nuestro planes

Strandnaher Club mit gutem Essen, aber verbesserungswürdiger Service und hohe Lautstärke
Pros:

Nähe zum sauberen Strand
ausreichend großes Restaurant
vielfältige Auswahl am Buffet
gutes Bett und sauberes Zimmer
Abendprogramm
Snacks an der Strandbar

Cons:

Zimmer war bei Ankunft nicht fertig: Eine Stunde späterer Check-In
Zimmertür war anfangs nicht versperrbar: zweimal wurde angekündigt, dass Service kommt um Schloss zu tauschen; erst nach erneuter Reklamation bei Rezeption wurde nach 2 1/2 h endlich das Türschloss getauscht.
Sehr hellhörige (versperrte) Durchgangstür in Nebenraum.
Personal an der Rezeption hat sehr gleichgültig gewirkt und trotz erhöhter Anfragen sehr langsam gearbeitet (30 Minuten Wartezeit für Check-Out)
Der Club ist sehr laut: man wird am Pool ständig mit lauter Musik beschallt.
Die Liegen am Strand sind meist mit Badetüchern reserviert aber keine Leute sind da.

Znamy Dominikane od lat , jest naszym ulubionym Krajem nie tylko na urlop.A tu takie rozczarowanie!
Cons:

Przez caly pobyt brak cieplej wody do mycia . Barak reakcji ze strony personelu na monit o braku cieplej wody w lazience.
To pierwszy raz spotkalismy sie z takim lekcewazacym traktowaniem w hotelu w Dominikanie.Szkoda!
Uwazam , ze za te niedogodnosci powinismy ( ja i moja zona) dostac jakies zadoscuczynienie ze Waszej strony.
Jestem stalym klientem Panstwa Portalu , korzystam z uslug Portalu prawie co tydzien!
Pozdrawiam,
Leopold Jakubczyk
