“The all-inclusive resort stands out for its prime beachfront location on the Samana Peninsula, with a focus on providing diverse culinary experiences rooted in local Dominican flavors; I found the beach and food options to be a highlight. While the resort aims for a luxurious feel, I noted that some aspects, like room quality, might lean more towards a solid four-star experience, but the staff's dedication to entertainment and the range of activities-from water sports to themed dinners-creates a lively, engaging atmosphere for families and couples.”
