We flew into La Romana airport that is about a 20 minute cab ride from the airport. What we were not told is that when you get off the plane, you need * US to be able to buy a travelers card that looks like a phone card. You aren't told why you have to buy it, just that everyone has to have one to get through customs. I later asked a guy at the passport stamping table (in Spanish) what the card was for and he said it was a required travelers tax (so know that up front), also prepare to have your bags checked before you leave the airport (they want to make sure you aren't bringing anything into the country). Onto the hotel, we were greeted with cookies and champagne, which was a nice surprise, but then we got to the room and it wasn't really what I had hoped. The bedroom looks like the picture on this description, but the bathroom is not shown for a reason, certain buildings are not renovated, make sure when you are getting a room, you are in building 4+ (buildings 1-3 are OLD and that is putting it nicely). I went back to the lobby to complain and was forwarded to the consierge who is a beautiful person and accomodated us very nicely. We enjoyed going to all of the restaurants there but BY FAR the best one is the Dominican one, don't expect great Italian or French food on an island, also, the meat is not as good as what we eat in the US (go on an excursion and see the cattle). Anyway, nice service, great scenery, beautiful and helpful people! Go into town and experience the island you won't be disappointed.

We had a fun experience. The food was good for an all inclusive. The French restaurant was the best meal we had there. The buffet was better than average as well (esp. for breakfast and lunch). If you are looking for a really quiet time you will need to escape to one of the smaller pools or beaches. The music (which starts at 10 am on the main beach) is fairly loud but lots of people were really enjoying themselves which is always contagious. We stayed in one of the renovated rooms and it was lovely. Very large, nice furniture and tv and the bed was VERY comfortable. The staff was wonderfully accomodating, friendly and professional. We ended up using our limited french to speak to some of the other guests and staff but were so delighted to do so. We are hoping to bring our friends to come back down with us!

Great vacation, but things you MUST beware of!!!

The resort itself was beautiful and nicely laid out. The design of the lobby and restaurants were exquisite. The food was terrific at some of the restaurants such as Bordeaux, Patio, Italian and Asian restaurants, and fair to poor in the main buffet and the Oceana. The beach was prestine, but watch out for the crabs! Both pools were very lovely and relaxing. The staff (although most don't speak English), tried their best and although not very helpful, were very friendly. If you are looking for peace and quiet, I would not advise getting a room in the vicinity of the main pool. There are loudspeakers with either DJ's or bands pumping away with an MC speaking on a microphone for a large portion of the day, and this noise carries well throughout the rooms of the buildings. Also, the buildings are exposed inside to the elements, we experienced a massive thunderstorm which resulted in the hallways and rooms partially flooding. The staff was unable to accommodate a room switch or upgrade. In addition, we had an ant infestation problem. One of our largest concerns and downfalls of the trip was the paper-thin walls which seperate the rooms. The staff, again, was unwilling to accommodate a room change. Lastly, if you've ever visited Canal Street in New York City, well, that is the best way to describe the atmosphere surrounding the main pool during the late afternoon/evening. The locals come in, setup vendor tables, and hock you to death to purchase necklaces, paintings, etc. They literally beg for your money!!!

Overall, the hotel was just okay. It was pretty and reasonably clean. However some of the staff did not seem overly eager to assist us with anything. There was a bat in our room that my husband had to catch in a garbage can and let outside. Several other nights after that we heard bats in the ceiling but left the light on so that they would not come out. My husband called and left a message with the concierge but we never heard anything back. The food was terrible for the most part, and there were only 1 or 2 restaurants open for breakfast and lunch. All the others were only open for dinner. I became ill towards the end of our trip, not sure if it was from the water or the food. They say that the drinking water is purified and do not drink the water from the faucets. I didnt think it would be a problem to brush my teeth with the faucet water but maybe that was a mistake. The people at the towel stand were rude and I was almost afraid to ask for a new towel each day. The hotel was an hour and a half away by car from the Santo Domingo airport. If you decide to travel here, you may want to see if the airline you choose goes to La Romana airport, which is much closer.

My husband and I stayed here in May 2009 for a week long prescripion of R&R. We definitly found our R&R but I must say that it took a little creativity on our part. The hotel certainly caters to an ""all-inclusive"" crowd who can't get enough of the (cheesy) entertanment activities and the endless amounts of alcohol. But we made the most of our trip and found a quiet, relaxing area of the beach (away from the ""boom boom"" music) where we went every day and practically had our spot all to ourselves. For all meals (the food is actually quite good) we ate at the restaurants, away from the buffet loving crowds (at no extra cost). The resort is somewhat isolated so its not as easy to get away and check out the real DR but we were able to get a taxi one day to check out Altos de Chavon and another day we were able to rent a car to truly explore the island. Don't get me wrong this is a great place to stay - the water is beautiful, the grounds are beautiful, the staff is very nice, the restaurants and outdoor patio furniture are suprisingly very chic, but if you are looking for a some ""tranquilo"" R&R you'll have to do a little extra work to find it. Lastly, (and this may be a deal breaker for some) - the walls are literally paper thin - so you will know your neighbors very well...we changed rooms a couple times, in effort to find some quiet, and the staff was very accomodating to do this but its worthwhile to note. If you do go, enjoy your time and we highly recommend the Lobster dinner on the beach and the Jungle Restuarant!
