[@bethdirt]

Well Hello. I just got out of quarantine, but my country wont allow me back unitl Jauary 13th 2022. So, after seeing your video I chose this hotel!! Thank you so much. I was having choice anxiety, and you made it easy. Take care. Beth

Was it a great hotel to stay at ?

[@tonyakanerva4630]

Girl , you missed the best resteraunt in the resort. I had platinum club and my room was directly across from the resteraunt. The groundskeepers would climb a tree to get me a coconut as soon as they saw me. Service was amazing. I love this place. The grounds too....

I went there March 2022 and want to go back. After going to some not so great resorts, this one is the place for a great beach, good food, nice staff, wildlife, and drinks. And the room was super nice. Next time I gotta try more of the restaurants, make sure to get reservations as soon as you check in so you have one a day.

[@nataliekelly6270]

Finally someone who gives great information! Thank you! We like a one bedroom typically so would you say the layout of the platinum room " kinda" feels like a one bedroom? Does the couch pull out? I travel with my mother who likes things a certain way. Many thanks again.

[@heyniaa]

Awww Natalie I wish I could kiss you on the cheek!! lol. Thanks for the kind words! Yes the platinum room is like a one bedroom! The couch doesn’t pull out but they have one of those “pull down” twin beds. Like that are in the wall and they come down? Idk what they’re called but I slept in that one when I went with my sisters! When booking, request it just in case every room doesn’t have it!

Thank you, this was very helpful.. I hope things are just as good this year.. Did you have to walk from one place to the other of the resort? and did you have a map in order to find them? ... cause the resort seems huge..

Hi! Great video! This resort looks beautiful! My husband and I are planning our honeymoon, we got married last year 2 months before I gave birth so obvious reasons we didn’t go on a honeymoon, lol. We were thinking of going to the Punta Cana Princess because it’s and Adults Only, however there aren’t too many video reviews on that one and from the few vids I have seen it doesn’t look as nice as this resort. Since you went with a group of adults, did having families with kids hinder the experience at all? Nothing against kids, we have a baby, but we do want to relax and not have to worry about a ton of kids running around, lol. Thank you and hope to hear from you! 💕

I completely understand the no kids thing. Especially with it being gone honeymoon!!!! There were kids but not too many where I was annoyed which is surprising because I went in July!

The beat part to me is the private concierge you have available 24/7. You get a private check in and check out which is super beneficial when it’s PACKED at the front desk with everyone trying to check in and stuff don’t nobody got time for all that get me to my room baby 😂❤️
