Over the past few years, we've vacationed in Punta Cana, CapCana, LaRomana, Juan Dolio, Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata. The staff at Emotions were pleasant and helpful However, the hotel itself was older, dated and badly maintained. The Bathroom roofs leaked, air conditioners didn't work and the overall experience suffered

We had a very nice experience!!! It was our first time doing an all inclusive so we did not know what to expect! The food was meh….not much flavor and just underwhelming….didn’t really care for the cafeteria vibe. The best meals were breakfast and the make your own omelette station was on point. The beach access with beach loungers were amazing! The readily available drinks…although they were not at all top shelf were good. The best part of the trip was Chemi in the wine bar, Oak! He hooked us up with a lot of wine and got us into some of the restaurants where we had excellent meals that weren’t cafeteria style dining! He really made the experience memorable!

This place is an absolute gem for a romantic Valentine’s Day celebration! One of the employees, Amaury, organized a breathtaking beachside dinner that made my night unforgettable. The ambiance was enchanting, with live music and delectable cuisine. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. They also have a charming bar called Milwaukee, where we met a lovely girl named Deilennys (I think that was her name). Her warm and welcoming nature made everyone feel at ease. We often found ourselves spending our evenings at the bar with her during our stays at the hotel. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic getaway. My stay at the hotel was also fantastic, and I’m already planning my next visit.

The resort is nice and well laid out. The room was absolutely beautiful and the beach was great. The reservation-only restaurants were decent, but the buffet was inedible. There is a bar on the resort called "Opus", which is only available for "Elite" members, so don't go in there. The service at the hotel was a little sub-par. The bar ran out of things constantly (including tequila) and we were only able to rent enough towels on 1 of the 4 days we were there. The resort also has a weird way of communicating requests, through their app, which doesn't make clear which services are available to you before you request it (i.e., you can order breakfast room service on the app, then 24 hours later they will tell you that the service isn't available). The resort also wasn't the best for a young couple looking to party (both in our late 20s) - definitely more of a vibe for seniors and families. We also recommend taking some time to visit Puerto Plata off-resort. The Uber there was cheap and it's a 15-min drive. Overall, although we did have a decent time, we probably wouldn't come back here.

the rooms bathroom was not in good condition and the lighting in the room was very dingy. the facilities def need improvement and more staff they seem not as many for the amount of people at buffet. the food was great seasoning but the layout of buffet and lighting of the room did not make it appealing at all. Also the bars did not have real liquors very small selection of rum. We could have had an awesome experience if the beach had beach service instead of so many beach sellers.

This isn't my first time at this hotel; previously, the service was excellent. This time, however, it was the complete opposite. Starting with Eliza, the person in charge of making a restaurant reservation, she was incredibly rude and had absolutely no desire to help us. Incredibly, the only person who made us feel welcome was Roberto, one of the waiters who works at the buffet. The rooms are run-down, and even the food quality isn't the same. Sadly, it wasn't a good experience. I don't recommend it.

The good: — It’s centrally located in Puerto Plata and close to POP airport. — The bad: — the food is very hit or miss. If you are Dominican The ugly: —Many of the staff do not seem mindful of hospitality basics. Particularly I notice that many of the female staff are very short with women. — The toilet seat in the room does not fully cover the seat of the toilet. We had two rooms and both were like this. Because the toilet seat was too small for the toilet, you are sitting on the cold bare toilet when you use the bathroom. There may as well have been no toilet seat.
