If anyone is looking for great deals on hotels go to HotelRaven. com Booked a room on there and they had the best rates around
The layout is well thought out with different areas with different vibes. The Sea Blue restaurant is great. Excellent staff and great food. Rooms are spacious and have a sunken bath and separate shower room. The all inclusive drinks are all top names, not cheap alternatives. There is plenty of activities to stop you getting bored and with 2 great pools, one with swim up bar, and a private beach, there is plenty of ways to keep cool.response / report this review -

Took a solo 1-week vacation here as it was all inclusive and adults only. I was so excited, however the experience fell short. The staff was uninterested in serving you and almost rude at times. I’m used to great service at resorts and it just wasn’t the case. The beach is nice and quiet, not filled with vendors. Ok food at the adults only resort, but you can honestly get better food and variety and the family friendly sister resort next door (also included in your stay). Shows were fun to watch and the weather remained perfect.

This Resort is very run down. Our Privilege junior suite room stunk like mildew. We changed rooms the next day. Really no better in the next suite. I ordered a tuna salad and it was canned tuna on iceberg lettuce
With canned pickled asparagus. Extremely disappointing. Hamburgers and hotdogs with 3-4 pickled salads
At the cook out on the beach, served with French fries. This is no joke. They cooked off jerk chicken but didn’t have enough to feed the crowd. Our alcohol was watered down, unless you wanted to tip $5 each drink to your bartender. All blended drinks are make with sugar syrups, no fresh fruit. Only at the fresh juice bar on the beach. No alcohol there.. figures. Very misleading. Pools were clean. Pizza at the swim was good. Buffet breakfast had a good selection for breakfast choices. Beach had glass and a lot of garbage on it. You had to keep your eyes on the sand. The sushi at the beach bar was Atlanta salmon lox wrapped in rice. No fresh local fish or crab. No fresh fish on the menu from the local ocean. All previously frozen and cooked in a pan. No large shrimp with your surf & turf only baby shrimp. I would never go back to this resort. You must really speak Spanish.response / report this review -

Incredible resort! Such friendly staff (here's a shout-out to each of them!), and so many activities and programs to keep everyone entertained. The food was delicious; never ran out of choices on where to eat or food options at each restaurant. Same with the drinks. A lot of options (alcoholic, fruit smoothies, etc), and great servers/bartenders everywhere!
Definitely enjoyed staying on the Royal (adults only) side, as it gave us the freedom to experience the exciting atmosphere on the family-friendly side, but go back to a more relaxing kid-free zone whenever we wanted.
My ONLY complaint would be that it was very windy down by the beach during our entire stay, so we didn't get the chance to enjoy the beach as much, or any beach activities, such as using the kayaks, going snorkeling. or going out on a catamaran, etc.
Strongly recommend this resort to anyone! Families with kids (toddlers and teens alike), families with young adults/older children, or even couples (great for anniversaries, honeymoons, etc). Might be good for singles too, but didn't really check out the Pearl Beach Club.response / report this review -

Beautiful resort with immaculately maintained grounds and amenities. All the staff was friendly and anxious to please. We chose the all-inclusive (food, drinks, gratuity) "Bravo" adult side of resort. The family side is larger and just as beautiful. Adults have access to both sides, pools, restaurants, bars etc. We found the majority of food and drinks to be much better than expected based on some comments read before choosing.
Our suite was large and comfortable, but could have used a little TLC/renovation. A few items we noted upon arrival were promptly addressed.
The beaches are natural (yes, seaweed does wash ashore) and public (you may get approached by local vendors, but they were not persistent if you said, you were not interested).
This was our first all-inclusive resort and weighing cost to value, it more than meet our expectations. My wife and I are from the northern suburbs of Chicago and during our stay we met several interesting people from around the globe. Overall, we very much enjoyed our relaxing 7 day mini-vacay. I would definitely recommend.response / report this review -

Common area space looks to be newly renovated. Very beautiful grounds and pool area. Had a nice view of pool and was close to restaurants and short walk from the beach. Staff did a great job keeping Beach area clean. Lots of good snorkeling to look for shells and a sand bar you can walk to right off the beach. Only negative I can think of is bar staff was not super friendly, but may be because we don't speak much Spanish. One bartender Juan at the Sea Bar and Grill was fantastic so kind and made it fun! There were 8 people in our group and we didn't have any issues getting seated for dinners. Overall very nice resort for the price.response / report this review -

Fantastic service. Clean and well maintained enjoyed 2 weeks here in Dec 2017. The food and restaurants are not your typical all inclusive style, with all boasting a individual restaurant feel of a good 4 to 5 star restaurant. The staff and food at the sea blue restaurant on the beach is fantastic catering for all tastes from meats to fish. I cannot say a bad word about this hotel.

Food was incredible! However , I was very unhappy regarding the dysfunctional AC unit in our room This issue really affected our vacation in terms of comfort and getting and good night sleep. However, if food quality is an issue for you then this resort really delivers high quality dinning very pleased in those regards!

If the bedrooms were refurbished I would review this hotel with 5 stars. The best of it is the entertainment schedule and staff. You can't get bored in this hotel and staff is friendly and always happy. I talked with other guests who had been in other hotels like Barcelo o Bahia Principe, and they said the entertainment in this hotel is far better than the other ones

I went to this resort to celebrate my honeymoon and both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves the entire time we were there. The resort itself is beautiful in the day and nighttime and there are quite a few things to see and do. The staff are friendly and helpful and do their best to help you get a solution for any of your concerns. The rooms were spacious, there were hammocks on every balcony, the view was nice and neither my wife or I ever felt bored. Furthermore, this resort is split into two: there is also a family side (which is on the other side of the resort) and if you are on the Royal side, you get access to both. The buffets and most of the a la carte restaurants were on the family side as well as the entertainment (for the most part), however, there are some exclusive restaurants and privileges you get by staying on the Royal side. The family side can get really busy as there were sometimes lineups for the buffet. When one is a privileged customer (as we were because of our honeymoon package) we never had to wait in line and we even get exclusive seating in dining areas. Honestly, I would STRONGLY recommend this resort if you are looking for a nice, relaxing getaway with your significant other, or if you are celebrating a special time (i.e. honeymoon, anniversary etc.)
The only thing that was kind of unfortunate was the beach. While the water was always warm, the seaweed was piling up heavily along the sand and it was smellysmelly enough to keep us from enjoying the beach. I don't really discredit the hotel for this because I was told they try to keep the seaweed at bay, but it's like impossible to do so totally and apparently, it's the season for this to happen. Otherwise, it was a great experience and we'd come back for sure!response / report this review -

My family and I arrived on Thursday August 3rd, the hotel said they would up grade us for free. We get to the Villa 36 rooms 3645 and 3604, we dropped our stuff off and went to the pool this was around 330pm we come back around 6 to change for dinner and it's hot and muggy in the rooms. I called the front desk and they said they would send someone to check it out. I called three more times that night and the front desk gave me the run around. All they said they were trying to fix it the whole Villa is down that night I had to sleep with the room door open just to get a breeze.
I go to the front desk the next day and complain about the air conditioning. They tell me the same thing they are working on it I told them I wanted to be moved but they told me they have no more rooms available. They told me to come back after 1 to see if there are rooms opening up. But I told them I am going on an excursion I won't be back until 5 or 6. They said that's fine I come back and surprise surprise what does the front desk tell me it's too late to move you and no available rooms. No one wanted to give me a straight answer I asked to speak with a supervisor or a manager they said he left for the day really at 630pm on a Friday night one thing I know about hotels on the weekend there is a manager on duty the whole weekend. That whole night again I had to sleep in a hot, muggy, and damp room with the door open.
Finally on our last full day we moved at 4pm. And I was leaving the next day. I asked guest services if the can Compensate my family what do the offer me a bottle of wine No money back no free night stay nothing just a bottle of wine at an All-inclusive resort
So spend 2/3 of my nights in a hot muggy and damp room. With no compensation and no one at the front desk cared..response / report this review -

My husband and I went for 7 days. Leaving New York heading to Dominican Republic we were expecting Paradise at this resort, and that's what we got. It was beautiful. The food was great, the staff was at our fingertips and the property was well kept and clean. We will go visit again.

Just back from my stay at this hotel. For the most part I thought the hotel was very good. Santa at the Infinity Pool was amazing. She always served with a smile and great attitude. Franklin was also great. Went out of his way to make sure that we were satisfied and happy with the service. Lional at Sorrento's Pizza was also very good and very efficient. Overall, my stay was great and would definitely revisit in the future and recommend to friends. This was my second stay at your hotel. I do wish that the entertainment was better. It seems that after 10 o'clock everything shuts down.

Helpful staff but moldy rooms. Food quality and taste is just ok - moderately good. Very pushy sales staff throughout the hotel. Chipped tableware common. Mold is a big problem in rooms. Rooms have very few outlets to charge anything. We experienced significant mold issues and chipped tableware throughout our stay. The hotel is dated and maintenance is shoddy. All photos taken in July 2017. The beach is also full of seaweed.

Really nice room with private pool, though the common pool was never over crowded. There are a variety of restaurants, though the food itself was not great. Plenty of space on the beach whether you prefer sun or shade.

The rooms were not good, the first day we saw lamp shades hanging off TV signal rubbish, really dark rooms, which we found quite depressing, however we got moved up and it is now a good room light however air-conditioning is complicated and won't let you change temperature easily, dinner and lunch isn't the best food its quite plain. Breakfast is A Class love the crossaints and other pastry cakes. Has baked beans and has all the food to make a full English breakfast. Has a good variety of natural smoothies and yogurts to drink. The games at the games place is great. The pool has great events and lots to do. These events include foam party, pool parties and beer contests. The beach is the best beach I have been to in the Dominican and that was backed up by someone who has been to the Dominican 5 times. This is let down by some staff which is very little being rudish. The photographers are really jolly and do an excellent job at the hotel. Other than the rooms and food and the few rudish staff the hotel is great!

I give this resort a 3 because with the exception of the pizza restaurant the food was terrible. Also, they allow smoking at this property. So if you're sensitive to smoke like I am you'll be very disappointed. I had to move spots at the pool, beach and dinner because of the constant smoke. If you plan to get a spa service make sure they won't be having a dance party by the pool or you'll be unable to relax. I scheduled a 80 minute at 6pm and didn't even think about the noise. In the treatment rooms the lower half of the wall is a screen so there's no sound barrier. When we booked this trip we upgraded and did privileged status. That was to come with private check in and check out services. I ended up checking out at the desk because nobody was there to help me. They also said the mini bar would be stocked. I don't count 2 cans of beer "A full mini bar." There were a couple great things with this property. We had 4 excellent servers. They went above and beyond to try and make things right. For example I wanted the whites of my eggs cooked all the way. But in the Dominican half cooked must be how the eat them. I asked multiple times to have them cooked longer but they weren't understanding. This one server was able to understand me so each morning he made sure to communicate to the cook exactly what I was looking for. And they were constantly cleaning and wiping counters and tables down. They were even wiping up the sweat from my cup that got on the counter. I wanted to love this resort but it was just a 3-3.5 star in my opinion.

Fabulous resort and staff! From the friendly greetings at check in, to the wonderful meals, to the afternoon and evening entertainment by the pool, to the warm good byes from staff, there is nothing I would complain about. We had an absolutely amazing time and will definitely return. When we found ourselves having taken in a little too much sun a few days into our stay, housekeeping took note of the "do not disturb sign" and reception called our room later in the day after we'd removed the sign, to make sure we were okay. The onsite drugstore also became a big plus quickly. Leaving wasn't easy.
To the french-speaking guests speaking rudely of the staff -- most of the staff understand you as well as a number of the guests speaking english. To expect the staff to be warm and courteous after you've made rude comments and laughed at them is too much to ask of anyone.response / report this review -

Amazing resort. Just beautiful greenery. The sand had a lot of seaweed. The people were amazing, the activities and performances on the family side were really good. The drinks are a bit weak, but definitely a place for lovers.

Just spent a week at this resort and it was fantastic. Food was outstanding at all the different restaurants at this resort and the attached Catalonia resort that you have full access too. The service was great from check in to check out. Only negative thing was that we had no hot water in our room for one evening, but that really wasn't a big deal since it was 30+ Celsius outside and a cold shower felt good. The place is quiet since it's an adults only facility, which is a big plus. We would go back again
