As all-inclusives go this is smaller, which makes it very cozy! It has every amenity but is easy to navigate. The staff is fantastic and the food is even better. Our best all-inclusive destination ever, including other Iberostar properties. Highly recommend it!

Overall a Good Stay, but Service Needs Improvement We spent six nights here on our first trip to the Caribbean and the D.R. The resort itself is great: modern fitness centre, clean beaches, good restaurant variety, plus a nice golf course and tennis courts (special thanks to Coach Jose). Housekeeping, spa staff, and bartender Tomas were consistently excellent. However, service was inconsistent. Only about 40% of staff were genuinely friendly, while others showed little hospitality, with eye-rolling more common than expected. Customer-service training is needed, especially for reception, restaurant, and Star Café teams. Specific Issues: • Concierge: Pushed us into a “10–15 min presentation” that turned out to be a 90-minute membership sales session, with misleading promises about free golf and spa services. • Rum Tasting: Interesting, but the rums were not as rare as suggested—better to buy at the airport. • Check-Out: Took 20 minutes to split a cellar bill, and the receptionist (Garcia) was openly dismissive despite our prior request to separate charges. Great facilities, but service quality needs significant improvement.
