    Ideally, they’d add a microwave. The walk / climb to the main building may be a bit steep for some people.

    Excellent location with a great view. Nice beaches and pools. Felt very safe. Very friendly and responsive host and staff. Good value. Had everything you’d need for a great stay.

    They can improve the looks of all the apartment, its a good bet , but they have to take care of it. Everything looks "used", tv didnt turn on, water filtrations present, couldnt use the bathroom because of some water problem.

    Cutlery, glasses and plates had stains; no beach towels; no clothes drying rack. This was the most expensive accommodation we booked in the DR and we expected a better maintained place for the price.

    Stunning view, wonderful communication with the host, spacious apartment, super comfy beds.

    the beach is not the best. Not exactly clean, quite big waves.

    view from room and the restaurant and pool is amazing - we saw many whales! the pool is great, restaurant is much better than the reviews say - it is a bit expensive but we liked it.

    perfect view, no so perfect room

    everything could be perfect...and it is not. Is is easy to see the the rooms need maintenance...strong maintenance. The kitchen has glasswere and plates of many different types mixed, and it is was not very clean in general. The bathroom has the towels holders detached from the walls, and breaking parts in different walls, one of the ceiling fan was not working, in the living room there was sand in different corners left from probably previous clients and not cleaned well, the beach is private and beatifull, with sun beds, sun umbreallas and everything...but nothing is kept well, everything is dirty or a bit broken...the project was perfect but everything look very used and a bit run-down.....I hope this is due to the difficult time of COVID so they are loosing money and cannot keep up with a normal standard, probably they do not have enought staff or they have managers that do not care much. But honestly with this kind of run-down situation on the details, this is a 5 star from outside but a 3 star hotel inside. We have been in a couple of other 4 stars hotel in Rep Dom, and they are much more perfect in the details, and cleaner. Moreover, the staff here at the restaurant was very grumpy and busy in talking between themselves more than pay attention to the clients, and too many of them (including some of the people in the office) do not speak english......everywhere in the world a 4 star or more hotel have staff speaking in english, at least staff dealing with clients every day.

    as expected, the position is fantastic. This is a huge complex with many different buildings and rooms but sparse on a huge area and all with magnificent view on the ocean. The terrace of our room (but of all the rooms from what I can see) is very good, illimited view, nice sun-beds, and the details of the complex are well studied: the parking lots are with precise numbers, the air con separate between the rooms, the nice ceiling-fans, the big shower in the bathroom....everything was studied in the details, so in THEORY the place is really a 5 star residence

    Condo is not top floor. Both TV's did not work, as well as the AC in the main bedroom. Maintenance showed up twice, but could not fix it. Be prepared, not a drop of drinkable water in the condo, which we never encountered anywhere else. Have to go to restaurant and pay elevated prices. Condo requires fumigation/pest control.

    Nice views from the condo, good facilities with two pools and a restaurant. Kitchen is well equipped. Responsive staff. Nice beach, though a pretty steep hike to get to it. Owner was easy to contact and responded promptly.
