The only thing is that they should put motors in the pools so that the water stays cleaner since the filters are always turned off.

Our experience here was nothing short of amazing! The staff is extremely caring, helpful and knowledgeable on everything we needed. From the moment we arrived till check out everything was perfect! Food options were wonderful. Dinning at night was excellent. Pools and beach clean. But I can’t stress enough how amazing the staff is! Special thank you to Alejandro, Kendy, Scarlett Louise, Jose and Jesus. They made our stay exceptionally great.

I enjoyed my stay very much. Joe the manager was very attentive, kind and helpful. My only suggestion is to have more restaurant availability each night and to have different daily options for breakfast. This was a beautiful hotel, I loved the adult only section and having a coffee cafe was wonderful!

👎The hotel have one buffet only and limited variety of foods. 👎 The comunication to the hotel reception is practically imposible before to arrive. Long time to answer WhatsApp message, and when someone write back , leave the conversation without solve the issue… 👎 The process to make a reservation to its 3 restaurans need to improve …. Is allways full, you need to reserve in person at 6:50 Pm for enjoy the restaurant the next day… That was my personal experience.

This all inclusive is a very good option in Juan Dolio. The property was well maintained and the room was spotless. The food was good and the staff polite. Unfortunately the beach had some seaweed when we visited so we couldn’t enjoy the beach. Other than that our stay was pleasant.
