Résumé des avis

The magnificent white sand beach and turquoise waters are highly praised, as are the à la carte restaurants for their quality and service. The swimming pools are considered beautiful and well-maintained. The staff is generally described as friendly and welcoming, and the resort is clean. However, it is sometimes mentioned that some rooms can seem dated. Furthermore, the buffet service is occasionally perceived as slow, and the food can sometimes lack variety.

Memorable!
Mémorable!

The hotel was clean and the staff were attentive, helpful, funny, and endearing when you took the time to chat with them. The entertainment was varied and very lively, and the beach was nearby. The only downside was the air conditioning in the rooms, which wasn't very effective, and the sargassum seaweed in the seawater. I would definitely go back.

Hôtel propre et personnel attentionné, serviable, drôle et attachant lorsqu'on prend le temps de converser avec eux. Animation varié et très animé, plage à proximité. Seul point négatif, l'air climatisée dans les chambres qui ne fourni pas et les Sargasses dans l'eau de la mer. J'y retournerai sans hésitation.

The low end of Punta Cana
Le bas de gamme de punta cana

The food was just edible. We were never excited about eating at any meal; it was always the same thing or nearly so, and of poor quality. The service, however, was excellent. We had to pay an extra US$300 for a room we were supposed to have already booked. The beach was full of sargassum seaweed, and we were harassed every time we were there. We had a problem in the middle of the night and never got a response from the hotel or anyone else to help us.

La nourriture était juste mangeable. Absolument à aucun repas nous avons eu hâte d’aller manger, c’était toujours la même chose ou presque et de piètre qualité. Le service était excellent par contre. Nous avons dû payer 300$ Us supplémentaires pour une chambre que nous devions déjà avoir à la base. La plage était rempli de sargasse et on s’est fait achaler chaque fois que nous y étions. On a eu un pépin en plein milieu de la nuit et on a jamais pu obtenir de réponse de l’hôtel ou de qui que ce soit pour nous aider.

Good experience, but we won't be going back.
Bonne expérience, mais nous n'y retournerons pas

Key points: - beautiful beach but lots of floating seaweed - very windy, so big waves in the sea limit swimming - good food - perfect splash zone for young children!! We spent our time there.

Points majeurs :
- belle plage mais beaucoup d'algues flottantes
- très venteux, donc grosses vagues dans la mer limite la baignade
- bonne nourriture
- splash zone pour les jeunes enfants parfaite !! On a passé notre temps là.

Great trip!
Super voyage!

We really enjoyed this hotel! Better than we expected considering the price! Don't pay too much attention to the bad reviews; the service is excellent and the staff are very friendly! It's not a new hotel, but the grounds are well-maintained and safe.

Nous avons bien aimé cet hôtel! Mieux que ce à quoi nous nous attendions en considérant le prix payé! Ne vous fiez pas trop aux mauvais commentaires, le service est excellent et les employés sont très gentils! Ce n’est pas un hôtel neuf mais le site est bien entretenu et sécuritaire.
