I had a nice stay at this hotel, which is located right on the beautiful Bavaro Beach. The rooms were clean and had a good-sized bathroom, but the service was a mixed bag with some friendly staff alongside some disappointing dining experiences. While the overall atmosphere was great, there were a few issues with inclusivity that made it less ideal for an all-inclusive resort.

I had a really disappointing stay at this hotel. The rooms were not cleaned well, and it seemed like the housekeeping staff was always yelling, which made for a noisy morning.

I had a mostly enjoyable stay with a few hiccups. The location is fantastic, right beside a beautiful beach, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic, just a stone's throw from the beach, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

The hotel has a lot of potential with its comfortable Royal rooms and great amenities, but the service could really use some improvement. While I enjoyed the beach access and the mini bar in the room, the pushy sales tactics from the staff were quite off-putting. Plus, some parts of the hotel felt a bit dated, which took away from the overall experience.
