Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We’re currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil, and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaIf you are handicap or disabled DO NOT COME TO THIS HOTEL!! They didn’t have any wheelchairs on the property and they wouldn’t give a ride because we weren’t “VIP members” So basically they want you to pay more money for something out of your control. They were not accommodating at all to my needs as a person who had a stroke and has a hard time moving around.
The staff was great, the food and restaurants wee delicious! The rooms were clean and we had a great time at the pool parties and with the activities by the pool

United States of AmericaThe rooms are old and not like on the pictures, so that was disappointing. Us and other guests had cold water during the whole time of our stay. They told us they will fix it, but I think they were lying, and the water is always cold. All the beach chairs were always occupied since 6 am. Some people put towels on the beach chairs very early morning and didn't use them for another couple hours. I found that very rude. The hotel should have more beach chairs or should not allow people to block the chairs for the whole day if they were not using it. The hotel was very simple. The coffee and ice-creams were very simple and not worth of going there. We thought the hotel has so much potential, but it was very simple and plain (Shops, snack bars, restaurants, street decoctions, etc.)
I like the location. It had a nice beach. Also, all the attractions are fairly close. We took the Cultural Experience trip, and it was great. We have experienced a lot of things. I would recommend this trip.

United States of AmericaBetter lighting at walkways. Water heater doesn’t seem to work well and lack of security. Major issue was the flies and stray cats roaming around the buffet area.
Breakfast was okay. Other meals can use some help. Not much of a variety.

The food was better than expected for an “All inclusive Resort”! The breakfast was my favorite meal of the day. They cook authentic dominican food all meals but especially for lunch and dinner. Front desk staff was always helpful. We stayed in a Luxury Jr. Suite, which was always kept clean by amazing housekeeping. Staff throughout the property were always happy to assist whether it be with drinks, or navigating. The beach is beautiful, the ladies at the beach spa are amazing, all pools were comfortable and never too packed. The Jacuzzi was a little colder than we preferred but it’s okay! Definitely recommend coming here if you’re looking to relax or just a vacation!

United States of AmericaOur room was one of the luxury suites and it had the worse smell in the bathroom we would have to close the door all the time. The door to the shower always got stuck. I also noticed that as a Dominican the staff really didn’t pay any attention to us will on the buffet or at the bars they always prefer helping and giving the best service to foreigners. It was really sad to see these as the Dominican that comes from other countries tries to come back and give their hard earned money back to their country and is treated this way. The food and drinks could also be a bit better and the drinks shouldn’t be given in plastic cups it looks cheap and it’s not good for the planet. After this experience I don’t believe I will be going back.
It was very pretty and organized on the outside . Always had people cleaning every where so everything was clean .

United States of AmericaMy room wasn’t the best. It was ok and I felt comfortable. But the bathroom was dirty. The shower curtain was also dirty. Specifically the shower section needed a good scrub.
I really loved this resort for the reasons I went for. This was a solo trip for me and I am not a person about excursions or jumping off of waterfalls. I just wanted a resort that was on the beach, all you can eat, and a good gym. Boy did they exceed my expectations. First of all, I think I picked the place because of the gym being large and staffed with personal trainers. Included! And your view while on the treadmill is palm trees and ocean. No matter which one was your room, the pool and the beach was just steps away. Not a lot of walking at all. Everything was close.

United States of AmericaMy fiance backed into a wall at the entrance causing little damage, mostly to her vehicle. We were charged $100 for the damage. I felt that was a bit much. There are many accidents, I believe, daily. The damage was very minimal and noticeable. The staff treated us like criminals and as frequent visitor to Dominican Republic I was extremely surprised and irritated. We even paid for upgraded rooms. There was no empathy or sympathy over this minor issue and it turned me against the facility. I informed the staff that I have friends who live in DR and visit DR and I'd mentioned our issue. Overall, I loved the facility but when leaving and dealing with the $100 issue it left a bad taste in me.
The room and facilities were good. The food and night entertainment were great

United States of AmericaFood was the main problem I had. Restaurants weren’t always available and they were cheap with the food. You had to really push to get more. Also many items were also missing from the menu, including them offering 3 different desserts, but only one being available. Also, avocados were no where in sight. Even dishes that said had avocados had two pieces of avocado the size of a dime. Shrimp cocktail, came to us with 2 shrimps.
Beach was beautiful, setting perfect.
