Pros (+) i did not like it at all, poor service, costumer service is terrible, housekeeping i think they are not making enough money, so that's why they really don't care about their job. i was expecting dominican republic food on the menu. conclusion, I WILL NEVER STAY IN THIS RESORT EVER AGAIN. It is too expensive for what they offer.

Cons (-) The smell in one particular area on the way to pool three. It looked the sewage system needed to be looked at. Pool 3 side walls were not clean. The location and price were very good and I as decided not to use the facilities as much I turned a blind eye on most of the services.

Cons (-) While I was boarding my flight to the Dominican Republic I got a call telling me my reservation was cancelled because the hotel was over booked. I was homeless in a foreign country and it was terrifying. I did eventually get alternate accomadations but it was basically the worst hotel ever.
