Had dinner there a few week ago (June 2024) and the Ribeye (medium rare), the buttered mushrooms, and the smashed potatoes, are one of the best I ever tasted (I travel a lot in the US and Internationally), and they have one of the largest wine selection I ever see. You can not see a better quality-environment-price relation. Do no hesitate to pay them a visit. Reserve with anticipation, they are almost full on weekends, and are very strict with the reservation times.

Right,

Do you have to rent those beds by the pool anyone know?

Hi James, I hope you are doing good 😊 I wondered how Dom Rep is with hurricane Beryl. Has DR been affected do you or anyone know?

My condolences Coolist. I know it’s been tough loosing your dad. You’re amazing and thank you for sharing this with us. I love your content and I’m glad you’re rejoining the platform.

Bro I love you! Every time you pull through with is exactly what I am researching!

I think after watching you videos, it’s clear that the crowd mirrors age and price. Go cheap when you’re young and rowdy and buy up accordingly on special occasions, success in life, etc. All avenues of travel are respectable and cheers to another great video. Your vibes are definitely back!

we stayed there and the food was ok to awful. I would like your opinion on the Atelier. It is amazing.

Do you take a taxi to the resorts you go to in Cancun or a bus?

This is accurate. I’ve been getting great deals on luxury properties for years. And these are the exact strategies I use! You gotta watch, study, and constantly compare

I'm a local to AC. I live about 40 minutes away in the farmland of South Jersey. I'm in AC every weekend playing poker at Borgata. The main reason I'm writing anything here is because too many people come to AC and only eat in the casinos. The best restaurants and food options are not in the casinos. Do your research on "The Knife and Fork" "Chef Volas" "Cafe2825". These are the best of the best and sometimes reservations are impossible to get a peak times so be flexible and reserve 2 months in advance. Yes. I said 2 months in advance. I'll also give "The ChartHouse" an honorable mention. It is attached to the Golden Nugget. The rooftop bar,pool,jacuzzi oasis and the charthouse and Vic and Anthony's are the standouts at the Nugget. Other than that the place itself is fairly quiet and average for a casino. Smallest of the casinos in AC

Is september a good time to go to riu republica?

Love your channel! Pop up in my EarPods and watch listen all day at work. I’m sorry for you loss, I just lost my mom .. it’s life changing.

Great review! Thanks!

The last time I went to las vegas was late 2023, I made it a point to walk in and out of every hotel on the strip and the venetian by far blew my mind away.

James we need an update to this vid, now that you visited more resorts, please

Both are great choices, I have stayed at both and you can’t go wrong

Interesting comment about the beaches. I had no idea! We are planning a trip to Cabo and I had the illusion of hanging out at the beach all day! We will still go there but it's good to know that fact. Thanks!

I actually like the rednecks, blame my upbringing

I actually started watching your channel recently and I found it absolutely amazing! Your reviews are so on point and they helped me choose such a resort in Mexico I would have overlooked.I respect and appreciate your honesty and your vulnerability, thank you for sharing about your personal life.I will continue watching 🙏🧡

Old Homestead in the Borgata is awesome!

We love your videos and are going to Lopesan in February of2025, however we heard you were paid to do this video so hope it’s as good as you say. Guess we’ll find out. We’re Unique! Keep them coming.

Are you planing on visiting The new Riu Aquarelle in Trelawny? It just opened in May and I’d love to see your review on that one.

Chileno Beach, Santa Maria and Palmilla are my favorite swimmable beaches. I've swam at Medano Beach by Pueblo Bonito and ME Hotels.

I always book my vacations based on your videos brother. We appreciate you brother . 🙏🏽

Stayed in this hotel 2 times, the beach is great and the property is big and walkable. I actually like the small houses and prefer them to highrises and block-of-flats. But for the rest - you are right, the quality is declining, so no more Riu Bambu for us... Re drinks - after their cocktails, alcoholic or non-alcoholic the whole family got an upset stomach. It helped to lose a couple of kilos, so if you are looking for weight loss vacation experience, go there and take as many cocktails as you can 🙂

Is this all inclusive? Do you pay at the restaurants with menus?

Did you Chat GPT that description? lol

No coffee makers in the rooms and the food is overpriced🤷‍♂️ we had a great view from The 14th floor but I would never go back. There’s not enough there to see more than a 2 day stay. You’re better off staying outside of Vegas where the buffets are still. Less than $10 and not $35 where you have spas and saunas

Is this hotel expensive to stay at ? I saw a deal to book this and it was super cheap for how nice it is and I don’t know if I believe it

James love your reviews but sadly had the complete opposite experience to yours. The service was utter crap. Bartenders didnt wanna serve. Food was very bad at Amarinto and we got scammed by the Buttler into doing a taxi although we had free shuttle - he put us as a no-show although we had been waiting for hours and no car came

What about Moon Palace

I am so pissed at this guy!!! Just arrived and chose Thai place because of cool list. This place is a craphole!! The food and drinks so far are awful!!!!!! I really liked this guy but he is straight up lying! I can’t believe I flew all the way here for a dirty resort with a horrible beach and bad food and drinks!! He did say the beach wasn’t great but it is even worse than he said! So far I hate this place and wasted my vacation and money. I am unsubscribing and want you all to know that he wasn’t being truthful!!!!’nnnn. .#%>>*££%%*£

Awesome video as always! Thanks for sharing your experience

He’s crooked never give champagne I arrive 5 o’clock resort and I had to wait two hours for my room to get ready and I got the best that Elite

He’s crooked

He’s liar I’m here now based on his videos. The place is a disaster. You definitely got paid for this video.

I think my first visit will be like yours: sit at the bar, talk with the bartender and learn more about sushi (etc.) Hopefully they'll know how to slake my thirst without resorting to toxic booze, but that's the next level.

I believe God gave your dad more time to give you and him a chance to spend more time together. You take as much time as you need for what ever you need and your true followers will definitely be here when you return which includes meeee. Your channel does not suck. We are always harder on ourselves than others are. ❤

Is there any promo codes available

So, we'll be going to the Sphere. Which hotel is the shortest walk?

can you rank best for kids?

Going up on a Tuesday is all I can think of thinking about those weekday parties haha.

I think I'm leaning towards Mandalay Bay, but great comparisons. Love your videos!

Ok , thank you !!

I've stayed at the Hilton @ Resorts World 3 times now, and I've had the greatest experience every single time.

Just found your channel and am now a subscriber! I've watched a lot of travel vloggers talk about things to pack, but you gave the best, most unique list ever.

Welcome back to the Dominican Republic Coolist, your home away from home.

Welcome to your home away from home, the Dominican Republic. Yes, we wanted to see you back in Punta Cana and see your reports from there.

A for Adios 😂😂😂😂
