My Husband Erik and I spent 9 days from May 27th-June 5th,
2004. We loved it.. the Hotel was nice and The People Are
Wonderful. But it is not one of my favorite Islands, I probably
would not return. You need to Eat at the Steak House and la
sibela and the Japanese restaurant they are wonderful you need
to make reservations. So do it right away or you will miss out.
The Buffets were not that great. Every morning I would run to a
Hut and put down towels to mark our spot (I suggest you bring
your own towels to mark your spot) and use their towels to dry
yourself. I went out about 7:15 am and they we would get to the
pool about 9:30 after breakfast. I suggest plenty of sun
block!~!! I got sun poisoning and I am a medium skin tone and I
tanned about 15 times before we left and I wore 30 sun block
every day !!! and we got a lot of color!! but the sun is extremely
strong and the salt water in the beach makes you burn!!! We did
one excursion and I highly recommend it!! It was Bavaro Splash-3
hours $60.00 per person. You drive your own speed boat (2 to a
boat) to a catamaran and you snorkel for about 35 to 45 minutes.
It was the highlight of our trip! We were told not to go outside
of the resort other than to go on your excursions. The Casino is
horrible DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! they use pesos and it is
small and there is NO A/C!!!! Not worth it!!!! The rooms and the
Grounds are Beautiful and The staff is very accommodating, it
was our 2 year Anniversary June 1st so I at check in we asked to
be upgraded to Ocean front and they did. They gave us a Bottle
of Champagne to celebrate. Be careful they charge you to use an
Iron after 2 hours...Ladies, Bring your own Blow Dryer, theirs
is awful!!! There is no Alarm clock in the rooms ,so you never
know what time it is...we used our cell phone as a clock and alarm!!!
