Tranquilo y bien ubicado

Si la idea es alejarse y estar en silencio este es el lugar perfecto, la piscina está muy bonita mi hijo la disfrutó bastante y la playa esta bien, la mantienen muy limpia y segura. Las habitaciones son cómodas, la cama relajante. Hay un jacuzzi y la habitación tiene cocina y los utensilios, realmente muy práctico. No doy todos los puntos por esos pequeños detalles que me disgustaron bastante: primero el personal es amable.. Muy amable de hecho, pero saben muy poco de la zona, así que no saben recomendar, no hay personas que conozcan de tours y los folletos en el lobby estan viejos. En mi habitación faltó el agua caliente, lo solicite una vez y lo repararon de inmediato, sin embargo, al otro día volvió a fallar y no hicieron el mínimo intento de repararlo o cambiar mi habitación.. No les importó. Tuve un problema de parqueo con un inquilino propietario, el hotel me asignó un espacio que ya era privado avise del problema y me asignaron otro. Además no había desayuno ni restaurante, ofrecían un traslado gratuito a uno cercano, no fuimos pues no tuvimos tiempo. Lo recomiendo para los que pasan la mayor parte del tiempo fuera del hotel y llegan a este a descanzar y pasar un rato de descanso en la piscina.

Very good properties, stayed in 2 different rooms, very specious and we'll equipped. Minor issues like back door didn't close properly, but overall great stay. It is very quiet, if that is what you are after is perfect. Breakfast is good and staff are nice, it does take a while, you have to wait.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is beautiful, quiet, with a large room and a high ceiling. Gorgeous views. Maria, the front desk attendant was incredibly helpful. The drawback about this place is how far it is from the true center of Punta Cana. It's about 30 minutes away and a taxi to downtown will cost $40 one way. We decided to get a rental car for $70 instead since it has free parking. A few minor things that were bothersome included the fact that there's no phone in the room, the shower did not drain properly, the lock box did not work, the power outlets by the bed did not work.
