Hostels in Hispaniola

"Staff was friendly"

"Staff was very courteous, fun, and outgoing, they were very helpful throughout. Always sharing a smile, a beverage, and answering questions. Rooms were decent. Always clean but humidity crept in with some moisture/mildew faint at times. Went between AC and open doors to bring in air. Food was pretty good. Had to use your phone and their app for all the menus though…was hard to fully disconnect for a vacation. Beach was pristine. They kept the beach clean and seaweed was constantly cleaned up."

"The room was very mediocre. Looks like the pictures but worn. Coach had paint all over it and cushions looked worn. Tub on balcony (one of the main selling features) didn’t work. Called for repair, they came but were unable to fix the issue so there was no tub, just the bathroom shower. Turnover service was so difficult to get. We left the room at appx 8:00am and returned at appx 4’ish and the room hadn’t been touched. I called to get someone to come clean the room and it took almost 2 hours. We left and returned and had to call them back for towels. The staff…racist. I felt it during most of my stay. There were 6 people out of at least 50 that were actually pleasant. To the point I had to tip them tremendously to show my appreciation. I asked someone at the front counter to translate something and she told me, “you’re in a Spanish speaking country, you can’t read that?” So instead of snatching her from behind the counter, I asked google and walked away. The resort was a 7/10 with the staff and the amenities being the biggest issue. Pretty beach and pretty resort. I would go again but would def match energy next time. "

"Everything was excellent, we want come back asap."

"Everything was a disaster, rooms were not cleaned no water pressure could not take a shower food was horrible everyone in my family got sick for days with a stomach virus I travel a lot but Punta Cana was not a place to go for vacation. I strongly recommend it!!!"

"Property was great. Zero pool activities! Sub par liquor at the pool. A little better at inside bars and restaurants. Buffet food was ehh! No coffee in the rooms some mornings-or creamer etc.. steak house was hit or miss, long walks to get anywhere. Shows were not great and didn’t start till 10pm No live music except piano player in lobby bar. Won’t be back"

"I wouldn’t recommend anybody to come to this resort. The service is not the best also the food. Pools are not the cleanest if you traveling with kids. The beach is beautiful but it’s self service not even once from staff comes to the beach ask you for drinks compared to different resorts. "

"It was excellent! We’ve been going to Hard Rock for over 12 years, but this year decided to change. We wanted something smaller and quieter. If you are looking for a party resort, this is not for you. This is where luxury meets relaxation. The service was excellent, staff worked hard to tractor out the seaweed from the beach. The rooms were cleaned daily (sometimes they came twice in one day to offer cleaning again!) rooms maintained perfectly. We booked a swim up room and it was the best decision. No matter what building your room is in it’s a perfect walking distance to the beach, the main building, main pool and the restaurants. One thing I LOVED about this resort, is there is NO timeshare or membership. Every vacation taken in the past has ruined our day and sometimes several days because of the constant insistence of them trying to get us to buy a membership. My ONLY negative comment is the quality of the food. The variety of the food is great, but the food was hit or miss. I’ve had much better food at different resorts. I also wish there was a buffet option for lunch instead of breakfast only. The room service for breakfast was excellent, but the room service for lunch was not edible, it was honestly horrible. Our favorite restaurant was the grill. Oregano was hit or miss. One recommendation I’d make is the beverage service on the beach, I wish they’d come by more frequently, but honestly the bar is so close to the beach we didn’t mind getting up and walking over. "

"Waitress on the pool and beach missing almost , entertaining of the pool loud , noises, leavening with headaches. The resort , clean , staff helpful, nice , food okay . I will be back for sure !"
