Résumé des avis

Guests overwhelmingly praise the beautiful, clean beach with its calm, shallow water. The buffet is considered good, varied, and of high quality, contributing to an overall perception of a clean and well-maintained hotel and resort. The staff is also appreciated for their friendliness and service. However, the public beach sometimes attracts unwanted attention from vendors. A lack of evening activities and entertainment is also occasionally noted.

Beach with absolutely no waves!
Plage sans aucun vagues !

If you want a beach with no waves and shallow water, this hotel is a good choice (it's located in a bay). The water is so clear, you can see the fish without a snorkeling mask. Paddleboarding and pedal boats are available (not included). Many Dominican families come to the hotel, especially on weekends, so there's a lot going on! There are also many vendors soliciting people on the beach, in addition to dogs. The food at both the buffet and à la carte restaurants is varied and delicious. Our room, with a partial ocean view, also overlooked the pool area with its entertainment. It was very clean and comfortable. There's also a second, smaller pool without entertainment. There's a food truck offering hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, and nachos. In the building that houses the à la carte restaurant, the theme changes every evening, either Italian or Mexican. During the day, there's a small snack buffet available around 10:00 AM and pizzas around 12:30 PM. The à la carte restaurants are very good, with a wide variety of menus. There are no restrictions on the number of times you can go per week; you just need to make a reservation every morning from 9 am onwards.

Si vous voulez un plage sans aucun vagues et eau peu profond, cette hotel est un bon choix(c'est situé dans un baie). L'eau est tellement clair, on peut voir les poissons sans masque de plongée.C'est possible de faire du paddelboard et Pédalo ( pas inclus ) Il y a beaucoup de familles Dominican qui viennent à l'hotel comme clients, surtout les fin de semaines,alors beaucoup d'action ! Aussi il y a beaucoup de vendeurs qui sollicite des gens sur la plage, en plus des chiens. Au buffet et a la carte,la nourriture est variés et délicieux. Notre chambre avec vue partielle sur le mer avait aussi la vue sur la piscine avec animation. C'était tres propre et confortable. Il y a aussi une deuxième piscine, plus petit sans animation. Il y a un food truck qui offre des hot-dog, hamburgers, frites et nachos. Dans le bâtiment qui est la resto a la carte chaque soir le thème varie, soit Italian ou Mexican , le jour il y un petit buffet de collations de disponible vers 10h et avec des pizzas aussi vers 12h30. Les restaurants a la carte sont très bon , les menus ont beaucoup de choix de plats. Il n'y a pas de restrictions sur le nombre de fois que vous pouvez aller par semaine, il faudrait juste aller réserver chaque matin a partir de 9h.

Very good value for the price
Très belle place pour le prix

For the price, a very nice place, room with a sea view, beautiful water, beautiful beach, right in town. The beach is public, so it gets very crowded on weekends, but the chairs are reserved for hotel wristband holders. The buffet had a different theme each day, so it was quite varied, cocktails were served very quickly, and the room was clean and serviced daily.

Pour le prix , très belle place , chambre vu sur mer, eau très belle, plage très belle, direct dans la ville, plage est public alors les fds sont très très occuper de monde mais les chaises réserver au bracelet de l'hôtel, le buffet avait un thème chaque jours donc asser variée, cocktail servi très rapidement , chambre propre fait tous les jours

Wow!

A wonderful holiday. The conditions far exceed those of a 3-star hotel.

Très belle vacance. Les conditions dépassent de loin un 3 étoiles.
