We have spent 10 nights here for our wedding anniversary. The hotel is first class with superb gardens, rooms, food and the beach and pool areas are simply amazing! Special thanks to Carlos in Chinola who gave us a first class service on our evening there. The Pachamama cocktail is superb and well worth trying. Martyna the maid looked after us well. We stayed in Room 3327 with great views over the gardens, air conditioning was perfect, rainfall shower just wonderful and a comfy bed too. Priol and Rodolfo and all of the bellboys were great and as there are no lifts at the hotel, if you have a few cases of luggage, these guys certainly work hard! Lots of food choices and the bars and coffee shop add to the overall great experience at this hotel. I also love the way the bar staff are wearing caps and all the staff have a specific type of uniform depending on what their role is. We did notice the hotel can be extremely busy at times as both the family and adult sections can be accessed easily and when large groups arrive, it can cause issues with large tables at dinner and it’s noticeable in the pools too and on the beach but the staff cope very well To sum up, we would definitely return and maybe for longer, if the flights worked out right for us.

Everything was great. It was worthwhile paying more for the adult-only resort as it gives you more and better options than the family resort. The restaurants were fantastic, especially Mare and Sakura. We did not enjoy the Italian restaurant in the family resort. The resort staff were friendly and helpful....

We chose Hilton La Romana because we were blown away by Hilton Cancun All-Inclusive and were excited to try another Hilton resort. While there were definitely some highlights, this experience didn’t quite live up to our expectations. Food – Some Hits, Some Misses The food was a mixed bag—some meals were really enjoyable, while others fell flat. We especially liked La Moustache and the hibachi restaurant, both of which had great flavors and a fun dining experience. However, some meals were disappointing, with a few dishes that tasted like shortcut, cafeteria-style food (I had spaghetti that literally tasted like pasta with a can of Campbell’s tomato soup poured over it). The buffet experience, in particular, was rough. It was not self-serve, and there simply weren’t enough employees to keep up. Servers were often manning three or four stations at a time, leading to long waits. At one point, I stood in line for 20 minutes just to get served. This took away from the convenience and variety that usually make buffets a great option at all-inclusive resorts. Pools – Beautiful, But Too Cool for Comfort The resort itself is gorgeous, with well-maintained grounds and a relaxing atmosphere. However, the pools were much cooler than expected, which made it hard to fully enjoy them—especially given how much we were looking forward to our swim-up room. While we did use the pools, they weren’t heated, and the cooler temperature made them less inviting. In fact, we never saw anyone using the swim-up pools, which made it feel like we splurged on an upgrade that just wasn’t worth it. Had the pools been even slightly warmer, our experience would have been significantly better. Staff & Service – Friendly, But Nothing Exceptional The staff were kind and professional, and we had no complaints about service. That said, nothing really stood out as above and beyond, so while we appreciated the hospitality, it wasn’t the most memorable part of our stay. Entertainment – A Bit of a Mixed Bag The Super Bowl party was fantastic and was similar to the level I had come to expect at Hilton AI Cancun. Outside of that, though, the entertainment was hit or miss. The Michael Jackson tribute night was a great example—it was fun in theory, but the details were lacking. One banner actually said "Kin of Pop" instead of "King of Pop." It was hard not to laugh at that. Final Thoughts While we enjoyed aspects of our stay, the cool pools, inconsistent food, and frustrating buffet experience made it feel not quite worth the price, especially compared to other Hilton all-inclusives. If the pools were heated, the food quality more consistent, and the buffet experience improved, we’d feel differently. But as it stands, we wouldn't return. Overall Rating: 3.5/5 – Gorgeous property with some great dining options, but a few key drawbacks keep it from being a standout experience. I'm rounding down to a 3, given that we would not return here.

Absolutely excellent Adult All Inclusive. Both the Adult side and family side were easily accessible and spotlessly clean. The family “flume” park was absolutely a wonderful treat, and well worth a daily visit. The Spa was also very nice, a super holiday treat (Cecelia & Crxel were especially welcoming). Food...

Absolutely excellent Adult All Inclusive. Both the Adult side and family side were easily accessible and spotlessly clean. The family “flume” park was absolutely a wonderful treat, and well worth a daily visit. The Spa was also very nice, a super holiday treat (Cecelia & Crxel were especially welcoming). Food options were all plentiful and tasty. We especially liked not having to book “reservations” at each restaurant, unlike other all inclusive resorts (however special sushi bar & teppanyaki bar had limited seats, so those did require a reservation). The bar was exquisitely stocked (none of the mystery generic stuff). The bartenders (especially Wander, Mabel, Darlin at the Enclave bar) were excellent. Wander’s “Old Fashioned” with blow torched sugar really kicked it up a notch. Jose Resaro at the Enclave pool bar was also excellent. The butler service is a nice treat to have a stocked cooler by you all day (but not required, and an extra fee attached for the service), our butler Luiding went above and beyond to make sure we had everything that we needed, always accessible by WhatsApp text. Definitely worth coming to, and as Hilton diamond members, we felt very well appreciated for our loyalty.

La Romana was the perfect location for our honeymoon. The staff went over and above and nothing was ever too troublesome. It truly was paradise. I want to especially thank Kensia from Mare restaurant who was an absolute delight to meet. She is superb at her job and a joy...

La Romana was the perfect location for our honeymoon. The staff went over and above and nothing was ever too troublesome. It truly was paradise. I want to especially thank Kensia from Mare restaurant who was an absolute delight to meet. She is superb at her job and a joy to be around. Also, Olga from the Enclave pool. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her and her cocktails are amazing.

Hilton La Romana Café área- what amazing team ,Kaury , Jazmin and Martha … delicious coffee , clean place and excellent customer service. Thank you for my delicious creamy lattes and for making feel us so welcome . Nice hotel with an incredible staff.

I have stayed in the Dominican Republic many times. The Hilton has been my best resort. I love that we could do water sports off the beach. Also we were able to go on a snorkeling trip from the resorts beach. Plus trip to Catalina Island. Want to shout out to out butler Michael. He did an amazing job with dinner plans , Cabana rentals. Also want to thank Pedro my familia. Also known as cabana drink master.

This is our 2nd visit, the last time was 8 years ago under the brand of Dreams, this time as Hilton. We have never visited the same hotel twice. But it was such an amazing holiday we wanted to see if it was the holiday we so deserved. And it was. Still the best concept all inclusive we have been too. The staff work so hard to make our holiday perfect. We stayed in the enclave rooms and beach. We had lovely maids. We had amazing staff on the beach who always brightened our day with their big beaming smiles, offers of cocktails and just super friendly. 2 of our happy hour ladies from the beach bar Rosanny and Diomedy very special team members. Even down to the last 20 mins of our stay we had a lovely conversation with the bellboy Rodolfo Jesus. Our holiday exceeded our expectations and we appreciate all your work and commitment. After 8 years it was also lovely to see Freddy in the French restaurant and William in the Seaside restaurant. This holiday we also visited the Mare restaurant which was lovely and so were all the staff. Amazing work at team Hilton, thank you.

Had the best experience with Johanna & Casandra; multi- lingual and enjoyed; made suggestions for local drinks and adjusted the drinks according to my taste and my husband’s (he likes stronger drinks); really enjoyed the discussion about the local customs; enjoyed the hospitality

A beautiful hotel kept very clean by, on the whole, lovely staff. ‘Entertainment’ or lack thereof takes a star off the rating. No mattresses on sunbeds in the adults side main pool when the family side main pool does have is inexplicable, especially as the sunbeds are designed for mattresses...

A beautiful hotel kept very clean by, on the whole, lovely staff. ‘Entertainment’ or lack thereof takes a star off the rating. No mattresses on sunbeds in the adults side main pool when the family side main pool does have is inexplicable, especially as the sunbeds are designed for mattresses and very uncomfortable without them. We were in the ‘Enclave’ bit and had mattresses so almost worth the extra just for that. The staff around that enclave pool and in the swim up bar were excellent. In the lobby bar it was largely service with a scowl. Really poor customer interaction especially from one male - Kelvin. Everyone commented on his rudeness. We had a sea view room which was nice and generally well serviced although view of the sea obscured by trees. Acceptable though. For an expensive 5* all inclusive hotel where we paid extra for the ‘Enclave’ status the lack of alcoholic drinks in the room is a little jarring. On arrival 2 small bottles of wine and a couple of beers in the minibar with soft drinks. Once the wine had gone it wasn’t replaced. I called reception to be told no replacements would be provided. We occasionally got some Pringles and even a small beer but no more wine or anything else - 5* luxury with added ‘Enclave’ status! Never had that before. Its unnecessary scrimping and undermines the overall experience. Food in the a la carte restaurants on the adult side was excellent. No adults buffet available for evenings which is strange but can live without it with quality of food available elsewhere. Entertainment is another matter. You cant even rely on what is advertised. Truly rubbish. I’m still on site. No live music at either advertised site tonight- why? Stage show was about 30min of nothing much. For a hotel complex like this where you are virtually stuck on site the entertainment is shockingly poor. The worst I have ever experienced and I have stayed in much less expensive places. The late night facility ‘until 2am’ is banging music in a small, not fresh smelling, ‘sports bar’ that attracts no-one unsurprisingly. Maybe a violin player for an hour or a pathetic silent disco in the lobby. Really its hard to describe how dire it is. Its such a shame. A lovely hotel on a great site, with some great staff spoilt by literally nothing to do after dinner.

Just returned from 7 days at Hilton La Romana Adults side and it was a fantastic stay!!! The grounds are beautiful and immaculate. Well cared for. We had a swim out room which faced east and was quiet and peaceful with full sun until 1pm. There were two loungers that were on a deck in 1 foot of water. You could also put the loungers on the cement patio. There were steps leading out to the pool that was used by about 10 or 12 rooms. In the afternoon we would go to the enclave adult only pool and enjoy the sun for the rest of the day. Housekeeping was on the ball, tended to our room every day and also stop by every night to be sure we had enough towels. Everyone, every single employee of the hotel, was friendly, happy, courteous, and eager to help the service was top notch the pool in the enclave section Was beautiful. The loungers were occupied early in the morning, but there were always a few available in the afternoon. There is an infinity pool in the adults section which is also beautiful. Both pools have swim up bars. The adults resort is connected to the family resort which also has a huge beautiful pool with a swim up bar. You could use all of the restaurants, the restaurants in the adult side did not allow children. There are plenty of restaurants to suit everyone’s tastes. There is also a waterpark on the family side, it was never too crowded, and there was always a lounger available. We loved the lazy river and the waterslides. We participated in some water sports, the lifejackets that you are required to wear really really stink. It took away from the beautiful experience of being out in the calm and beautifully blue ocean. My only suggestion would be to move the area where we did beach Pilates away from the smoking section. It is ridiculous to be enjoying an exercise class and smelling cigarette smoke. I don’t blame the smokers, they had nowhere else to go. I highly recommend this resort, there are beautiful areas for weddings and personal photo opportunities. The sunsets that we were able to enjoy from on the beach were phenomenal. We will return. In general.

A lovely hotel, location and people. We were in the adults only section but didn’t pay for “enclave” - if I’m honest I didn’t see the benefit of it. Yes you get branded alcohol, preferences for certain restaurants at certain times and your own special pools but I’ll be honest,...

A lovely hotel, location and people. We were in the adults only section but didn’t pay for “enclave” - if I’m honest I didn’t see the benefit of it. Yes you get branded alcohol, preferences for certain restaurants at certain times and your own special pools but I’ll be honest, I didn’t feel I was missing out not being part of it. The food was lovely at every restaurant we went to, the only thing to note is that you will wait forever in the Japanese restaurant (a la carte) to get served - service was very very slow. If Asian is your thing, it’s worth noting that the restaurant hosts 3 areas - teppanyaki, a sushi bar and a la carte. Would I go back again? That’s the question. I would 100% return if Hilton could sort out the saving bed situation. I had to get up at 6/6:30 every flipping morning to get a bed by the infinity pool or a nice spot on the beach and beds were already “reserved” at that point. If you want to just roll out of bed at 8/9, good luck trying to get a bed! Towards the end of the holiday, I noticed that people started to save them overnight by putting things out in the evening and that just felt unfair, especially as staff around would have seen the stuff there. I think Hilton need to add more beds or manage it better. With that in mind and knowing that I like to relax and roll out of bed in the morning on holiday - I wouldn’t return. I’ve been on my fair share of holidays and I’ve never known it be this bad to get a bad in the morning. If that was fixed, it’d be back in a heartbeat. I could even imagine that it would be one of the places that I would return to on year on year. P.s. special shout to Juan who we met in the Peruvian restaurant - that man is amazing. So warm, so helpful and so lovely. He stood out as a real treasure at Hilton.

My husband and I splurged for our annual anniversary/ birthday trip as it was my 50th. I am so glad we chose this resort! We opted for an Enclave swim up suite with butler service. Febles was our butler and he was incredible!! I could not have asked for better service. He went above and beyond for everything including balloons, decorations, gifts, wine and snacks for my 50th birthday. He made it a truly memorable experience. Olga at the Enclave swim up bar made the most incredible drinks and kept us laughing every day. The resort was breathtaking. The beach cabana was worth the up charge as well. Thank you for an amazing vacation ❤️

The resort was great - the grounds were beautiful and well maintained and every restaurant/grill we ate at was excellent. We enjoyed both the beach, the main pool on the adult side of the resort and the enclave pool. Our room was a swim-up and was well appointed, though the air does struggle to keep up with the temperature/humidity. Everyone was so friendly and our butler, Febles, was the best! We will definitely be going back and are already planning a family trip for next year!

My wife and I and our friends went for a relaxing getaway and that’s exactly what we got. Our Butler, Febles, went out of his way to really make our stay easy and enjoyable. He took care of reservations when we needed them, brought fruit and drinks to our cabana without being asked, and much more. He made sure our departure went smoothly and just generally was always there for us. Our suite in the Enclave section was perfect— large, clean, well furnished and well located. The Enclave benefits suited us exactly and served to enhance the overall beauty and charm of the resort.

Just left the Hilton la romana adult side resort. A review and tips: - Butler service is a must. Febles was our vacation butler and I cannot understand why anyone staying would not go this offering. He arranged our cabana rental and our reservations at Sakura and the grill. He also provided each day a cooler with; water, wine, champagne and soda. My wife did mimosas all day because he also provided the oj. Also had a fruit tray mid afternoon delivered to the cabana. The best. - Sakura is by far the best restaurant although Mare was a close second. Only drawback on Mare was that there was a roaming cat in and around the tables. I’d suggest lose the cat from the restaurant does not give a good feeling on the cleanliness. - had a spa service and used the gym each day too. The spa was really good. The gym was very busy and had a short wait for a treadmill. - the room was amazing and had a nice intro bottle of wine on arrival and had a champagne on last night when we got to the room. Nice touch. - get the cabana if you can we got one at the enclav pool and another day at the adults pool. Worth it! $120 for the day - if you are diamond the enclav lounge has a breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet. Amazing really. And there is an amazing enclav bar in this lounge. Great for Hilton diamond members. - the bed was by far the best we have had at any hotel. Shockingly it was actually better than our home bed which has never happened. - we did not get into all the activities but loved at the end of the day sitting in the lobby with a live musician playing. Loved that and they were very good. A cello, sax and violinist. All great! - we did get duped by these trinket sale tables setup outside on Wednesday. Made it seem they were sanctioned by the hotel because they were in between the pools along the walkway. But they were extremely overpriced and started carving our names before giving the price. That I asked for right away. Long story short, a hustle. I’d suggest the hotel stick to the gift shops. These tables not a good look and a flaw in our stay. - Rodolfo who brought our bag to the entrance on our departure was very personable and even made a call to see about our ride. Turned out we were wrong on the time. I cannot think of the other person at the checkout by our bags but he was also very personable. Definitely the personalities that you want as guests arrive. Throughout the hotel the staff were very polite and welcoming. We will come back next year and be more aware on getting the cabana and butler, hopefully febles is available. Overall a wonderful trip. Learned a lot and will enjoy even more now knowing the ropes of the hotel.

Beautiful resort. Our butler Feblas was amazing and took care of everything that we needed including dinner reservations, cabana on the beach, and sunset cruise. He made our trip fabulous!!! Olga at the enclave swim up bar made the most amazing drinks.

My wife and I just returned home from our fifth consecutive annual visit for a total of six visits over the last eight years. That in itself should tell you how we feel about this property. I could talk a great deal about how relaxing thing are here, how beautiful and well maintained the property is, or how each year, the food seems to get even better, but the real draw to this location is the staff. Throughout our visits, we have seen so many familiar faces. A few have moved on sadly, but many more still remain. It leads me to hope that the management understands that supporting its workforce makes for staff retention which in turn translates into staff experience and proficiency. All of that makes for a superior experience for their guests, which should be their ultimate goal So, the staff… …they are all courteous, kind and professional, but in true Dominican fashion, they know to have fun as well. They were all incredibly gracious in dealing with my marginal Spanish and they all speak passable English so there is no problems with communication although “medium rare” (medio raro) caused a bit of confusion on one occasion. Our first night, as is our tradition, we had dinner at La Moustache. Freddy was our server and I think my face would have burst if I was able to smile as much as he did through the whole meal. He was completely professional but easygoing and he genuinely enjoyed what he was doing. The staff at Mare had to put up with us (me) almost every day at breakfast and lunch. Dominga, Kenia and Nancy all made our meal times together a blast. Both attentive and fun loving, they made every meal with them a joy. We lunched a few times at the Grill and Francesca was always there with a smile as well. You can’t go to an all-inclusive without having at least a few drinks. I still marvel at how beach service staff like Yesica can keep perfect track of yours and ten other drink orders, then navigate the sand with a tray full of drinks and still find you again! It’s like they install tracking chips on the gests at checking or something. I cannot forget to mention both Claudia and Reina at the enclave bar. Claudia makes some truly excellent cosmos and mojitos and Reina made us some fantastic old fashioned and aperol spritzes. A little know secret (at least to us) was the bar at Chinola where Yamenia fixed us some smoked old fashions. Fantastic! Along with all the rest, I have to talk about Victor, our butler. At one time, I considered the $200 weekly cost to be an unnecessary frivolity. That is no longer the case. It is treat that is well worth the expense. Victor was professional, personable, attentive and available whenever we needed anything but never hovered or pestered and gave us plenty of time to ourselves to relax. Every morning he would send us a listing of the day’s activities. He would then bring us a cooler of water and drinks of our choice and inquire about where we would like to dine and at what time. He made arrangements with Carmen, our housekeeper so that our room had been serviced before we stopped to drop things off before heading to lunch. He would always check up on us during the day to see if we needed anything. He would also bring us a fruit plate in the afternoon, but only after finding out at what time we would like it delivered. On more than one occasion, he appeared with fun drinks. Some in a pineapple and others in a cantaloupe melon. Throughout our stay, he sprinkled in other little treats and surprises along the way that just made things extra special for us. He even introduced us to his supervisor, Blanca. Come to find out, she has worked at the property since before the first time we visited, back in 2017 when it was a Dreams Property. To me, this goes right back to my previous staff retention comment. The week went by so fast, but thankfully, the older I get, the faster time goes by so our trip back in March 2026 is just around the corner. Gracias a todos por todo. ¡Hasta el proximo Marzo!

Very nice resort in DR. We were at the Hilton La Romana adults only for seven nights, eight days. In a room with a pool in the Enclave Club, which cost us extra money and it should be noted that not all the privileges suited us. The drinks in the Enclave Bar were of course better quality. The main disappointment was the breakfast in the Mare restaurant, only for Enclave, the menu of which was very poor. We had the best breakfast through our Butler, such juice as the one Viktor Val brought us - we did not find anywhere else! Also, the wine that he gave us on Anniversary, we did not find even in the Enclave Bar. Almost all days we had breakfast and lunch in the Caoba Adult Buffet, in general with a pretty decent variety of dishes and good quality. Since I have already mentioned Viktor, our Butler, I must say that the five stars of this review are only thanks to him! We had to pay extra for Butler's services, but we did not regret it at all. Viktor Val is definitely the best worker in this hotel. Thanks to him, we got the room we wanted in a quiet place, and we could also enjoy amazing drinks made from natural fruits every day. Pineapple and melon were simply delicious! If you need to quickly reserve a restaurant, this is also it! For some reason, Management did not pay any attention to our request for a quiet room and did not even congratulate us on our wedding anniversary, there was not even a ribbon on the doors. Viktor corrected this mistake. Champagne, wine and cheese selection from him were excellent! If we talk about restaurants for dinner, we liked the French cuisine restaurant and the Hibachi restaurant Sakura the most. The show of chef Hipolito was memorable for a long time! The resort area is quite large, clean and beautiful, there is a place to walk and relax, the water park in the family part was a pleasant surprise. Of course, the main advantage of the Hilton La Romana is the beautiful ocean with clear water, absolutely no corals, a sandy bottom and no waves, with a beautiful beach, where the biggest drawback for us was the lack of free sunbeds, the hardworking staff cleaned everything at night, but irresponsible guests early in the morning covered all the sunbeds with beach towels, of which there were a lot in the hotel. In my eyes, one guest kept four sunbeds for the whole day - two in the shade and two in the sun. The staff is very polite and could not help you get a free sunbed if you come to the beach after breakfast. The room was clean and cool, our gratitude to the staff, but the pool in the room is not very convenient for swimming, narrow in places, but clean and not cold, which we were afraid of. Conclusion - thanks to the professionalism and care of our Butler - Victor - all the shortcomings did not have a big impact on the impression of our holiday and we put five stars and recommend a holiday in this resort! And we strongly advise you to use the services of Victor Val !!!

After our adventurous check-in experience—where we thought we were at the main reception, but were actually enjoying a 45-minute waiting game at the bar—our Dominican adventure truly began. Meanwhile, our luggage was having its own vacation in the lobby, freely accessible to anyone passing by, as if it were a modern art installation titled "Forgotten Suitcases." The hotel room was clean, apart from the subtle scent reminiscent of an incontinent parrot. The lighting added a playful escape-room touch; with a bit of luck and the correct combination of switches, you might even get some light. The toilet paper was so thin it could double as tracing paper, making every bathroom visit a daring adventure in cleanliness—and unfortunately, there was no toilet brush to be found. On the bright side, the bed was incredibly comfortable, featuring convenient USB-A chargers on both sides. Additionally, the room was well-equipped with an iron, ironing board, hairdryer, slippers, bathrobes, and quality toiletries. However, the coffee-making facility felt nostalgically basic, featuring a simple filter machine that evoked memories of grandma's kitchen. As for the view, there was nothing but praise: swaying palm trees, colorful birds, and a beautifully maintained resort filled with tropical plants and impeccably kept paths, inviting leisurely strolls. The beach was so immaculate I almost felt guilty tracking sand onto my slippers. Unfortunately, the infamous towel-reservers were active early in the morning, but a friendly smile and a small tip quickly secured us a sunbed. The culinary aspect of our vacation was… interesting. The buffet restaurant offered plenty of choices but disappointed in taste—reminiscent of the buffet at a budget Dutch vacationpark. Our visits to the à la carte restaurants turned out to be equally adventurous, particularly the Peruvian restaurant, where a super-friendly host introduced himself as "our host for tonight," only never to be seen again. Our drinks arrived only after a polite reminder and after we were done with our dissapointing appetizer: the promised crispy pork belly, which had acquired the texture of a soggy but impenetrable sponge, probably after languishing too long in a warming tray. Equally peculiar was the meat at the grill restaurant; ordering "medium rare," you'd expect juiciness and beautiful grill marks, yet we received a grey slab of meat that seemed more in need of resuscitation than consumption. Probably, a sous-vide machine was the true chef here, with a grill merely playing a minor supporting role. Despite these culinary disappointments, the staff's kindness and warmth compensated greatly. Every staff member consistently greeted us with a hand over their heart, which was genuinely heartwarming. Especially at the swim-up bar by the pool, the hospitality continued, with cocktails served directly to our sunbeds or at the pool's edge with broad smiles. Tips were appreciated but never felt obligatory—though I'd still recommend keeping a few dollars handy. In summary, the resort is beautifully landscaped, and the staff deserves high praise for their hospitality and warmth. Dominicans are relaxed, friendly, and helpful. However, would we fly halfway around the world again for this resort? Probably not, as we can find resorts closer to home with better culinary experiences and fewer lighting-switch puzzles!

Everything was perfect. Personal were one of the best i have seen mainly Yessenia Miguel. We will come back for sure………………………………………………………………………………….. …………………………………………………………………………….. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………..

This was our second week after a week Caribbean cruise with TUI Marella cruises. We stayed in one of the enclave rooms which gave unlimited access to all restaurants and a separate pool and beach areas. TBH, not sure what the cost difference is but I believe it is worthwhile considering, as I don’t think we would have enjoyed as much without these extra facilities. We ate at all the restaurants which were all wonderful bar the Italian which was a little disappointing. Be prepared to get up early and reserve sun bed, as these start to find themselves with towels on from about 630am. We did always get a bed but became a bit hit and miss after 9am. Rooms are lovely and the resort is spotless with beautiful grounds. The beach is stunning. But beware of crossing the boarder line as it is adjoining a public beach with a few shops that made us feel we were going to be kidnapped if we didn’t buy anything lol. We quickly retreated never to cross the line again. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. There is a tipping regime which isn’t obligatory so we found ourselves tipping occasionally. However there was no animosity when we didn’t. All in all we had a wonderful holiday and would thoroughly recommend.

Amazing place. Very recommended. All services are very professional and the sea is amazing. The food is tasty and all the time it seems to go in a beautiful restaurant. Besides, all waiters are very kind and efficient. Especcialy Yamely Bello :)

We just returned from another amazing stay at this beautiful resort. This was the second time we’ve had Victor as a butler and he went above and beyond as usual. Every morning he checked in with a cooler of drinks and asked where we would like to dine that evening....

We just returned from another amazing stay at this beautiful resort. This was the second time we’ve had Victor as a butler and he went above and beyond as usual. Every morning he checked in with a cooler of drinks and asked where we would like to dine that evening. In the afternoon he would bring us a plate of fruit and often a fun drink in a pineapple or melon. He provided lots of little extra surprises that made for a very special and memorable stay!

The property is beautiful, well maintained and well planned. The "family side" is about a ten minute walk along the beach where there are some restaurants and the outdoor theatre. We were in a garden view Enclave suite. The suite was comfortable, very clean, and well appointed. Argentina, our housekeeper kept it spotless. The entertainment in the lobby was very good. The restaurants were all above average to excellent. We had almost no problems with service, although Mare let us down twice. Still the food was very good. The tepanyaki at the asian restaurant was fun and the food great. You MUST make reservations for this. The Italian and French restaurants did not disappoint and the Meditteranean was just as wonderul. I don't like buffets, but this one was a cut above. Fresh food, proteins (chicken breats, steak, pork) cooked from fresh right in front of you. The staff is friendly. It seemed that tips were not expected but received with sincere gratitude when made. If you book Enclave or upgrade to it, you won't be disappointed. The pool is lovely. There is a bar with swim up at that pool and also on the deck side. The bartenders seemed more engaged with the swim up customers and not so much on the deck, but still nice enough. The Enclave lounge? Better than any we've experienced and we have experienced many. So many food options throughout the day, it's own bar and comfortable, spacious seating. This is an unpopular subject, but to the cigarette smokers out there...No smoking on the balconies or patios. Hefty fine if caught. Some folks broke the rules and didn't get fined, others did. There are designated smoking spots on the adult side - in direct sunlight and no seating. The idea being smoke your cigarette and move on. On the Family Side behind the theater and, ironically, adjacent to the children's play area, is what a little boy I heard call the "smoking tree." A large shade tree, with benches and cement ashtrays. No such thing on the adult side. I understand that it would be logistically and economically unfeasable for the resort to designate rooms that would allow smoking outside on a balcony or patio. An area like the "smoking tree" on the adult side would be nice. I met so many folks from the UK, Germany, France and Holland at the smoking poles. Some said as much as they loved the resort they wouldn't come back because of the smoking policy. One couple said it's inconvenient, but they come back repeatedly. My husband would make this an annual trip for us. I am more of a mind that I can stay at another resort that may be a little "less than" this resort if I could have a cigarette with my morning coffee or evening wine. To use a sort of "Star Wars" reference, the "force is strong" with the smokers. This resort is worth the price. There is a lot to compliment.

We had a fantastic time at this beautiful resort. The service was top notch and the water Zumba in the ocean with Yuliana, Maria, and Losnaidel was a highlight. Our favorite spot to din was the Grill overlooking the sea and sunset. We will definitely return if given the chance!

Within minutes of arriving, we were very disturbed by the aggressive and emotionally manipulative sales pitch for us to attend a presentation about a time share.

Within minutes of arriving, we were very disturbed by the aggressive and emotionally manipulative sales pitch for us to attend a presentation about a time share. The Carribean restaurant on the beach, while well-situated and with good food, inexplicably played loud war-drumming over and over for a full hour at full blast, despite our requests to tone it down. It was not romantic, relaxing, or appropriate. Also disappointing is the beach-front that allows for minimal walking along the water. Moreover, it is right next to a public beach where people blast obnoxious music. The rooms themselves, while adequate, were not particularly comfortable places to retire at the end of the day, and there was no pay-per-view or movie selections other than whatever was on cable TV. On the plus side, the food was mostly good, particularly in the specialty restaurants, and the cocktails were outstanding. The beauty of sunrises, sunsets, and the blue waters of the Carribean speak for themselves, and would have been more enjoyable at a resort with a longer and more private beachfront.

We stayed for 10 nights in March, our 1st time here but 5th to DR. We stayed adult Enclave and were happy to pay the extra so as to not restrict our movements throughout both parts of the hotel. It enabled breakfast and lunch at Mare & The Grill, dedicated check in & beach bag, Enclave bar/lounge/snack area which had air con, it's own pool and a roped off section on the beach. Our favourite restaurants were the Peruvian, Mare and the French. We never used the buffet as it was closed in the evenings (family side was open) and we liked sitting out at Mare every morning overlooking the beach. Generally food & drink was quite good but nothing outstanding. The room was spacious and kept very clean but could do with a refresh, especially the bathroom. Mini fridge kept restocked. The hotel and grounds are lovely. The beach is quite narrow but fabulously soft sand and easy to get into the sea. The reasons we knocked a star off were the lack of entertainment on the adult side in the evening and lack of seating. Would be nice to have some outside seating. There was a saxophonist or violinist but perhaps a singer/band to liven it up a bit. Also the sunbed game is strong. We sat in the Enclave section and had to be down there for 6.30 ish to get a good spot (for us this meant a two on it's own with a palapa) sunbeds otherwise are crammed in long rows under trees. This area is not good, it is roped off and has someone checking room numbers every morning but it is no different from any other part of the beach - Enclave should be a little special - so maybe cushions on the beds and more spread out. Other than this we had a nice time but would probably not return.
