I may have missed it in the video but what is the tipping policy / culture there? I'm assuming at a minimum the bartender is expecting a tip.

@ChanellandClive 5 күн бұрын

For us we try to give the bartenders or waiters a tip. Especially when they have exceptional service. But the culture is just like anywhere else. There’s no rule saying you have to tip. You tip on your discretion and how you felt the service was. ~Clive

I saw someone say the rooms didn’t have A/C, can someone let me know if this is true or not? :)

@ChanellandClive Күн бұрын

not true! Our room had AC and it worked great

I stayed there,very clean,large compound,however,it was'nt a lot to do! I had expected lots of fun activites through out the resort,but no! Too much walking just to get food! The rooms near the beachfront are about 1/4 of a mile to walk to everyday 2-3 times a day in hot heat! The pools are nice,but thats all there is to do here.The beach is riddled with seaweed,that you dont get to see in the advertisement photos. Buffet food is ok,the specialty restaurants were subpar for marketing them as higg end dining. I ended up going to Macao beach one day,which was amazing! So,if you dont require much,Id say come here,but if you want a beautiful beach experience,Id say No,go research the best beaches in DR.

I’ve heard reviews about being hounded by timeshare people daily on the resort. How was your experience with that?

@ChanellandClive Жыл бұрын

Yes! They will follow you and talk to you until you say no multiple times. It wasn’t incredibly annoying but we wish they gave us some more breathing room. They mainly interact with you on the beach, in attempts to book a snorkeling or jet-ski excursion

@david888a Жыл бұрын

We didn’t experience any of that by the timeshare people. There were locals selling their stuffs on the beach n photographers with iguanas , parrots n monkeys but they didn’t hound us, just my luck,maybe.

How’s the night life? Good entertainment? I know the beach doesn’t look great but would you recommend it ? We are family of 5 (3 teenagers ) Thanks

@ChanellandClive Жыл бұрын

There was a club, auditorium for shows and the bar in the lobby in terms of late night fun. We think you guys will have fun. Keep in mind there’s no designated teenage hang out spots or club for the kids. So ur teenagers would only have the shows to look forward to at night. The pools close around 6pm unfortunately😔. The beach water wasn’t clear but it’s possible it cleared up

Not all bathroom are set up as open concept, I believed the resort assigned rooms based on the bookings,if it’s family, there probably is a door in the bathroom.

There’s a Sport Bar close by the pool that opens till 2 am, served very good chicken wings n fries, tender juicy ribs, Philly steak sandwich n others, You can ask the servers to do take out, our rooms were very close to this bar n it’s convenient for us. Ask for block 4 , it is also close to the beach n pool. HTH.
