“Honestly, I had one of the best weeks of my life here.
I thought every staff member I met was extremely polite and friendly. Additionally, I felt that each and every staff member here put in a great deal of effort to make the resort and my stay more hospital and enjoyable. Everyone working in the kitchen, at the excursion sights, at the front desk, and the hype people they have dancing every night, all were extremely friendly and polite towards me and put in a great deal of effort at doing their job well. The excursions do cost extra, but I did a Scuba Diving excursion as well as the ATV excursion and both times had a truly amazing experience, especially with the ATV trip, I definitely recommend doing that.
I also really liked how the resort had many Dominicans staying there, and people from all over the world, so I felt immersed in the culture still, despite staying at a resort. The area and town of Las Terrenas was also extremely beautiful and I recommend checking out areas outside of the resort. Just prepared to be seen as a walking bag of money if you are American. Other than a few hasslers, everyone in the town also felt very welcoming towards me.
Very few staff members do know English, so you may not feel as welcomed if you do not know any Spanish and cannot understand the workers. Additionally, as a 22-year-old and as someone who practically lives paycheck to paycheck, this felt very fancy and of high quality to me, and offered almost anything I wanted. The price for my stay here felt very reasonable to me too! I think if you are a very wealthy American used to typical "5-Star" resorts then you may feel disappointed here, as other more expensive 5-Star resorts would most likely offer more.
To sum it up, I loved the resort, the workers, the excursions, the town, and basically everything about this place! I sincerely had one of the best weeks of my life and would love to come back again. If you are a very rich American, who doesn't know any Spanish, who has really high expectations, and wants to be surrounded by other rich Americans on a resort, then this place might not be for you.
I would like to end my review with a sincere thank you to everyone at this resort :)”

“Buffet muito desorganizado, ou não recebíamos as bebidas porque iam para outras mesas, ou chegavam no final da refeição. Como um empregado faz o pedido e outro vai buscar e entregar, não havendo números nas mesas, torna-se uma confusão.O bar da piscina é uma vergonha em termos de atendimento. Os empregados do balcão deixam passar dominicanos à frente, que estão sempre a chegar à fila e a passar os outros à frente, sem respeitarem ninguém, e os empregados não lhes pedem que aguardem. Mesmo quando chamamos os empregados à atenção, não querem saber e não são simpáticos.O hotel tem muitos dominicanos e vê-se que o hotel é muito voltado para eles, o que me parece que afugentará muitos europeus no futuro.Os dominicanos vão totalmente vestidos para dentro da piscina e ninguém os chama à atenção. Torna-se pouco higiénico.Não senti receio em relação a covid, havia limpeza e desinfeção das cadeiras de praia e mesas de bar/restaurante. Os restaurantes temáticos são bons, sendo que o único onde necessitam levar calças (homens) é o gourmet ou não entram.”
