The hotel is quite new, but everything in the buffet is too salty except for desserts and salads. Can't it be lighter for guests to adjust?

It was our first time at this resort. We’ve been to Dominican Republic many times before. This resort is old which it’s OK but very dirty. There were a lot of workers around, but they were very unprofessional and rude. by the beach there were not umbrellas, and no one was cleaning the sea****. The food at the buffet was OK but the tables were dirty. The Dominican restaurant the food was terrible the Mexican restaurant, and Italian restaurant was ok. We were happy to help the locals that were coming at the beach and selling their stuff but it was too much. Groups of people were coming for the day to the beach and they took our belongs and towels and sat in our launching chairs. We saw everything from the beach restaurant which was only couple of feet away. When we told them that this was our stuff they denied it and ignored us. I felt very unsafe at this place.

Hotel itself was very nice. But it could have more potential. Food was mediocre it had its good days and bad days specially at the buffet. I also feel like more amenities can be provided just because the ones they do already have aren’t really much interactive. It should definitely be open a little later than just closing at 6 PM. Towards the last couple of days bed sheets did not have a great scent to it which means they are not cleaned often. Some workers did have a bit of an attitude but others were very amicable. Our bathroom in the room we stayed had a little bit of mold. But I am not sure if our other half of my group’s bathroom were also the same. The restaurants can also have much more potential. Especially with reservations. They say you need to make a reservation to eat at any of the restaurants but when you go in the restaurants they are completely empty at least the nights I went. I had also gotten kicked out of the club just because I “seemed” young to be in there even after presenting my wristband which the color assigned stated I am an adult and also showing ID I still got denied. Overall they do have pretty nice shows at the theater and nice events at night in front of the bar which made it more likable, ambience of the hotel is nice it felt safe and was quiet but I really think that many improvements can be made.
