A 3 Dressed Up as a 5
Reviewed By TouristLadyWe stayed there from May 31 - June 7. As it's low season, the hotel was about 40% full during the week. On the weekend it got busier, but we never had problems getting a lounge chair. The grounds are lovely. Everything was centrally located which made getting around very easy. The pool is a great place to hang out and we met some great people. The rooms are average. Clean and comfortable, but basic. Beware of the shower curtain that clings to you as you attempt to shower. The internet was hit or miss. Often one of us in the party wouldn't be able to get online. This is important for filling out ArriveCan and the e-ticket to leave the DR. The food is average, the buffet repetitive. The tables are usually only half set up with missing silverware/glasses/salt and pepper so you start cannibalizing other tables for them. The service was not great either. But you won't go hungry. One problem was the milk for coffee/tea. Several times it produced chunks in my tea. You'd think they'd fix it after a couple of complaints, but it kept happening. And if you're a tea drinker, bring your own teabags. The ones they had were not great. I will give two thumbs up for the dessert in the steak house (chocolate volcano) and in the Japanese restaurant (deep fried ice cream). Both were fantastic, and if I could have gotten away with it, I would have licked the plates. The BIG Issue The hotel has a time share section. The concierge staff are there to offer assistance and book your a la cartes, but also to get you to view a time share (code words: VIP Breakfast, "When did you get here?"). So what's the big deal - in all the bars there is selection of spirits on display that are ONLY for the VIP Members. You can see them, you just can't have them. Want a bourbon? Sorry, it's just for the VIPs. We really felt like second class guests.

Good
Reviewed By selahnaomiThis was our 3rd visit. This time of year is not busy at all. We had fun in the pool, and it was nice for it to be less crowded than before. However I believe because it’s slow the entertainment extremely lacked. Along with the food. It was almost the same thing every single day - which is as before, this was not the case. I noticed they would reuse some of the same food from the previous day but just make it “look” different. I work in a restaurant myself and am food safety certified. I know that we try our best to control food waste so we don’t lose money - However, I believe that is unacceptable to serve the same vegetables and possibly rice that was not eaten prior more than once . I don’t really think that’s food safe. My husband got very sick from the food as well. I usually don’t complain but this just really bothered me. Our prior experiences with the food was great however. I believe when there’s more people there - the more fresh food they serve. The staff was great and overall it was a very peaceful trip. We had fun and we’re able to enjoy our time. If we come again, I will make sure to come during a more busier time for better entertainment and experience. I also did notice that the WiFi was better this trip and was able to use the WiFi by the pool and bar with no problem. That was awesome. For travelers, make sure you take a walk down the beach as they have a street with ice cream, pizza, sushi bar, etc.

VIP Presidential Suites by Lifestyles Holiday Vacation Resorts
Reviewed By Carloss75200169I truly believe that if anyone is going to stay at this Resort I hope you read this review before booking and book at the other Resort Tropical which is much nicer, cleaner, and better service. To start off it was my birthday weekend and the first room we checked-in too the bed mattress felt like a kid mattress and I could feel the springs on my back. After the 1st night in that room we complained and we were moved to the same room just 3 floor ups. This room the tube was clogged and the sink too. We complained with guest service and front desk and they did nothing about it for 2 days by the second day we ran out of beer and water and we called to get the fridge refreshed and we never got any water or beer for the remaining of our stay which was 4 days later. the service sucks and the beach is not in that resorts its at the other resort which you have to take a shuttle to get to since its a long walk in the heat and up/down hills streets. the pool looked green and dirty and the restaurant at this resort really suck. They had not flavor and taste nasty. The bar only had 4 options of alcohol and it tasted like crap. Our stay was horrible and the Resort took us on a tour to upgrade our wrist band which turned out to be a lie since we didn't buy one of their timeshares and don't fall for the 1 hour tour cuz it was 4 hrs. of nothing and prices were crazy expensive. The COVID-19 test to return was done at the other resort Tropical which was a lot nicer and cleaner. We had to wait almost an hour to get the test done to then get the results back at our hotel after they tell you to wait for the results there which we wasted another 45 mins for nothing. The people working there accept you to tip them every time you ask or want something if not they don't service you or they just walk away and forget you ever asked them.

Royal Holiday Vacation club scams
Reviewed By Keith Pbeware of this company yesterday whilst walking along the beach on punta carna in the Dominican Republic my partner and myself were approached by a representative from the hotel, asked if we were interested in a 90 hotel presentation as they were trying to attract clients due to covid -19 and this included lunch, we had just walked for about an hour, we were peckish and I needed to look so we agreed. cutting a long story short we had a lovely lunch with a sales representative who to my surprise offered us alcohol during our lunch. a 90 minute presentation took 4 hours as they basically offered us just about anything so that I would sign a contract. during the 4 hours we were given champagne? wine and beer and when I demanded to see a contact, the second clause states not to sign if you are under the influence of alcohol. when i pointed this out in was told of that's OK you haven't drunk that much and wood you like another drink to which from then I declined even water. the one thing that I wanted to do before agreeing to this fantastic too good to be true deal was to check out thier company 1st and as I didn't have any WiFi I wanted to do this at my own time. all they wanted was for me to sign, sign and sign. they also offered to put us up in they 5 star hotel in a vip suite for the duration of our stay and if I still wasn't happy I could get a no quibble refund . I am so glad I walked away . when I got back to my hotel got straight on the Internet and Man sadly my reservations were true. most of what they said to me was bull.i can only speak for myself but others just be mindful to me it's a new version of timeshare scams from the 80's to before you sign make sure u got WiFi and do your homework. this could have turned out to be a very costly holiday.
