Great resort for a family getaway. I was impressed by the quality and selection of food. There are activities everyday, a splash park and a gigantic pool that our kids loved. The resort is pretty big and there is a shuttle service pretty much all the time. We were glad to have our costco cart to help carry our stuff and both our kids as we expected there would be a lot of walking around. So far we have tried the Rumba Dominicana restaurant and i recommend ordering a meal named dominican flag. Especially if you like avocado as it comes with half a piece. Servers were Daniela and Yvens Service speed varied greatly. It felt like leaving tips helped with service speed and also as the staff started to recognize us and the kids after a few days of eating at similar spots. For kids there is a beach bar in the rumba restaurant that serves finger foods (nuggets, wings, tortilla chips, pizza, etc) during lunch hours and afternoon. Very helpful if you have picky kids like us. Also most restaurants have a kids menu or finger foods, fruits and foods that most kids will eat. Some examples of the activities are foam party in the pool, Cupcake building for the kids with Elizabeth at kidsdom. Painting, bracelet making, yoga, dancing. The kids loved the game room. It has air hockey, a kiddy ride, ping pong, billard, à claw machine and two ps5. The regular attendant is Maria and she is helpful and loves to play with the kids. I would return to this location in the future.
