Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The dining room team of Gil, Harold, Cloudious, and Gene Joni were so attentive and friendly. They knew exactly what we wanted before we asked each night after the first. Christian in the coffee shop was exceptionally friendly and cheerful. Marcelo in the piano bar was the highlight of our trip!

Did the shipwreck snorkeling. The boat and crew were great, but it was a rough, windy day on the water. The kids still had a GREAT time.

Went to Bayahibe. Beach was very rocky and had a lot of locals trying to peddle their wares and services. Ok if you don't mind having to either buy things or tell people no.
