This resort was an absolute rollercoaster of an experience and not really in the best way. I will start with the negatives so you don’t have to read the whole thing if you don’t wish to do so. We have visited Punta Cana 5 times now and at this was our first experience with this resort. At this resort specifically, the employees spoke the worst English but seemed to be completely fluent in French and German. Which is good for some but not for those of us that speak English. Once we got to our room my wife immediately noticed bugs crawling and flying all around the headboard. We spoke to customer service and they said they would fix the problem asap! They did not fix the problem as we had to complain 3 days in a row and involve our travel agent to escalate the issue. Once the customer service manager (Alexander) got involved the bug problem did get better. But he insisted we do not change rooms and fought with us about how the problem would get fixed and we are in a perfect location and shouldn’t want to move rooms. After 3 more days without sleeping with bugs they returned on our final night. I woke up with termites crawling all over me and the bed which was extremely unsettling! We called the front desk and they sent someone up to spray and the man sprayed what spelled like cinnamon all over the room. I didnt think that was going to help so I sprayed my own bug repellent all over the headboard where the termites seemed to be living, which held them at bay for the night. Onto some other issues. The A/C only goes down to 75°F which may not be a problem for some but it was for my wife and I. The resort is located in a swampy area which attracts mosquitoes which means you will get eating alive like my wife, sister and I did. Almost EVERYONE smokes everywhere including at the buffet, all around the pool, in the pool, bars, lobby and the beach. Most people just throw their cigarette butts wherever they please. There is no way to get away from all the smokers unless you stay in your room. Workers do not keep pool very clean. Cigarette ash throughout entire pool and algae growing in shallow part of pool. The door to our room had to be slammed as hard as possible just to get it to latch, thus most likely waking up the neighbors in the morning and just being a nuisance all around. Now for the pros. No matter which bar you go too the drinks are always strong. We enjoyed the entertainment staff and they did do their absolute best to get people to participate and have fun! The grounds were always well kept and very beautiful. We enjoyed having access to the sister resort as their restaurants were a bit better than Punta Cana’s. I highly recommend finding Maria Luis or Nelson and they will take care of you drink wise. The buffet staff was always accommodating and very sweet. We also found the buffet was pretty good. Not the best we’ve ever had but we always found something we liked. We really liked the steakhouse and Italian restaurants, the fondue place wa
