Hispaniola Beach Holidays

Limited options on resort after 6pm and they don’t offer transportation after 6pm.

The resort is newly renovated and you can tell. The grounds, the buildings, the rooms are all beautiful and incredibly clean. The grounds in the middle with the wildlife were beautiful at night lit up with little lanterns, a quick walk between the rooms and the lobby/restaurants. There are trolleys for those that prefer. The beach is gorgeous, beautiful soft white sand. Turquoise water. The waves can be big and quite rough, with strong undertow. It was like this every day, it’s fun to play in but it’s not for those that are not strong swimmers. Towel wars are also in full swing here, if you want a prime spot you best get up early to reserve it. We opted for the VIP, you pay extra when you check in. It included better beach access, more restaurants, some extra amenities. We enjoyed it for the comfier beach loungers, not having to fight for a spot at the beach & the beach side restaurant. But the long list of added VIP amenities we didn’t really see, we wouldn’t have enjoyed our vacation as much without it, but it’s expensive for what it is. The reviews on the food were mixed we knew that coming here, and they were true. The food wasn’t our taste. Buffet was not great, very small for the size of the resort and very chaotic. WiFi is free but very spotty. Overall we really enjoyed our vacation, the staff were friendly, the resort was beautiful, the beach was amazing. If the food had been better we would definitely return.

Cons: Bathroom was dirty, shower head was broken, the entertainment staff were terrible. They didn’t engage anyone into doing anything, didn’t participate in 92% of activities, some of the staff were insanely rude. There was a roach that ran past the spice restaurant table, and staff don’t know how to handle complaints. At check out they asked me about the urine that we found on the toilet, why you asking me at check out? Pros: minus the roach, food was good. Plenty of pool space, family friendly, access to breathless, concierge are very pleasnent
