This hotel is huge... At 600+ rooms, six restaurants, several bars, a nightclub and a casino, a pool and sauna area, and the most breathtaking beach you've ever seen, there really is something for almost everyone... at least for a couple of days.
Now I'm really not the 'resort vacation' type, so maybe my review is a little out of line, but if you're taking a vacation to lay on the beach, tan, drink, and relax, this is TOTALLY the place. As far as action goes, you may want to look for someplace else. There was only one nightclub catering to a somewhat older crowd, the casino is crooked, and all the sporty type stuff costs extra. There are some safaries and stuff to go on, and a bit of beach shopping, but really this is a romantic and relaxing type vacation spot.
The food was good, and rooms were gorgeous. The landscaping and the beach are amazing. Staff are polite, and I didn't see a single bug or spot of dirt. Tipping is not permitted, but we tried to tip outstanding service anyways. The entertainment at night ranges from passable to disappointing. Room service was relatively prompt (we were warned to be very patient in advance) and the servers, room clerks, etc. were attentive and pleasant.
Go relax, soak up some sun, and drink your face off.
The beach!! White sand, warm water, tall palm trees! Theme: Hotel

This resort was amazing. I couldnt believe that this was where we were staying. We booked one of the cheapest all inclusive deals we could find online and when we got there we were amazed at how nice it was. We requested the new part of the hotel and didn't pay the extra $200 for an ocean view, but when we got there we had one of the best rooms they had. It had an ocean view and a view of the main pool. It was centrally located and very comfortable. Everyday they stocked our mini bar.
The restaurants are pretty good (not so much the buffet). When you get there make sure to make dinner reservations for some of the restaurants they dont give you tickets for (El Mirador, El Conuco and El Marlin).
There is a disco downstairs that not everybody knows about, so round up some people and head on down.....it's not always busy, but it depends which day and time of the year you are there.
Drinks aren't all that. The alcohol is watered down and unless you get drunk off sugar you won't be fluttering much. If you want something to get tipsy off.....try the wine (sparkling was my favorite)
Don't miss the "Back to the future" show at the hotel theater......the Dominican Michael Jackson is the BEST performance you will ever see. It's like seeing Michael Jackson up close for FREE. His dance moves are amazing and he has the moon walk down like nobody else.
Unique Qualities: Great pools, amazing views, nice beach, friendly staff (when they're not hitting on you)
