[@gracesylvain3857]

Very nice video 👍 one question… they have coffee shop and ice cream bar in there ?

[@SherryandHadi]

Thanks for your feedback 🌷 Not a specific coffee shop but there are stations in the buffet

[@mvmacneil]

Thank you so much for the detailed review!

[@SherryandHadi]

Thank you for watching our video and leaving a heartwarming feedback😊

[@mvmacneil]

@@SherryandHadi , Loved your video! Going to book here soon. :) Having reviews like yours make it easier. All the best to you. :)

[@SherryandHadi]

@mvmacneil enjoy your stay 😊

[@natanaelfodor7962]

Hy there i really like your video veridetailed just one question im going there in 9 days how much is the Preferred Club?

[@SherryandHadi]

Hi, thanks for watching our video. We’re glad you liked it ☺️ We don’t know about it, we think it’s better to reach out to resort about this question.

Being "All Inclusive", is everything (except the gift shop) included? Spa services? What all do they offer in the spa? What about tipping? I'm going in June and have never been to any resorts before. Want to be prepared. Thanks

[@SherryandHadi]

Thanks for watching our video 🌷 Only food and drinks are included (except for bottles and premium drinks). For all other services you need to pay. There are few restaurants that you can make reservations for at the desk and those are included as well. Tipping is optional. If you’d like to tip, we recommend having some $1 bills. Enjoy your vacation 😊

[@aihottie2003]

@@SherryandHadi i have a $72/day credit from my status on expedia. do you know if i can use that on the bottles and premium drinks? also, where do i order those from? gonna be going there in sept. thanks !

[@charitymudhikwa2035]

Were you staying in the luxury master suite? Did it have 2 bathrooms/showers?

[@SherryandHadi]

Yes, we booked the luxury master suite and it had a bathroom/shower in the main room and one in the bedroom.

Im a beach lover,and I was taken aback by the Sea-weed! I personally was disappointed that my first ocean view of our section of the beach was filled with lots of seaweed,where it just looked like brown water🤢.Im not sure if it had been raining a few days beforw we got there,that could have stirred up the seaweed,but it was unattractive to me! The resort grounds are huge! Its feels like a small city almost,so be prepared to do a lot of walking! The grounds are pretty decent,the buffett food is ok,nothing special.I did however was turned off by the beach towels that they give you! They looked like old towles that you would use to wash your car! My towel had stains all over it and unravelling threads! I couldnt understand why a nice resort would allow that to be acceptable to present to anyone,who's paying for a memorable vacation.I would also suggest to combat the moist humid smell in your rooms due to the humidity,to maybe bring a Glade plug-in fragrance of choice.

Hello,the hotel offers transportation from the airport, it is far from the airport? Thanks for the video!!

[@SherryandHadi]

Hi, no they don’t have airport shuttles, and we found airport taxis way too expensive. We took uber and it was surprisingly cheaper.

[@ellaizaa]

Hi! Are there pamphlets/posters on all the programs during our stay?

[@SherryandHadi]

Hi 👋🏻 Yes, they have posters in the resort and also you can download their app during your stay and see the programs there 😊

[@chriscampbell7191]

Did you happen to go to the adults only side? Looks wonderful!

[@SherryandHadi]

The adults only side aka all suites wasn't open during our stay! It opened a week after we checked out! But yeah, we heard it was pretty good

[@brettpoulin8430]

I’m staying there next week! Any tips or insider secrets you can share lol?

[@SherryandHadi]

Bet you'll love it! I think we covered it all in the video, but one tip: make reservation for restaurants once you arrive, and one recommendation: be sure to try The CUT steak house if you like steaks! It's amazing! And the Asian restaurant as it has a great vibe

[@ryanreddigan8227]

How was the amount of people did you guys feel like you guys were alone on the resort or was it more lively

[@ryanreddigan8227]

I’m also 21 looking to come here with my girlfriend to have a good mix of partying and relaxing just want to have a better understanding of the overall vibe

[@SherryandHadi]

we’d say decent amount of people! even though it was off season, the night life vibe was pretty good, lots of folks dancing as you may see in the video, during the day, decent amount of people were at the pool engaging in entertaining activities, again as you may see in the video! definitely not feeling like we were alone :)

[@ritacasares6291]

What was the weather like? Was it still warm enough?

[@SherryandHadi]

Yes the weather was perfect. ☀️

[@sz3981]

When did you stay at this resort? Your video is just 11 days ago. Do they still have seaweed?

[@SherryandHadi]

Thanks for your comment, this is early October 2023, that's when we were over there! so it's very fresh 🙂 there are areas on the beach which are very clean and seaweed free

[@phillyto]

How was the seaweed? Is it a big issue or taken care of?

[@SherryandHadi]

It's not too bad! There's areas on the beach that it's pretty clean and seaweed free, there are also areas that it's not good! There's actually a timestamp in the video description that takes you directly to the Beach Part, you may see that part to get a better sense of it if you haven't already! It's at around 3:36 time mark!

[@phillyto]

@@SherryandHadi thanks for the info. I’m going end of Feb. hopefully it’s not so bad that time of year or at least cleaned up often.

[@SherryandHadi]

@@phillyto you're welcome! hopefully that's the case and you'll have a great time 🙂

[@raeraesh15]

How did you guys book for transportation? Any recommendations on excursions 😊

[@SherryandHadi]

Good comment and question! We took Uber, which were basically the resorts drivers, and found the rates reasonable! One tip: Uber won't open when connected to Punta Cana Airport's wifi, switch to your cell phone data to be able to open Uber! We personally didn't go on excursions, but the resorts were offering excursions! Hope this helps 🙂

[@davinderpsingh7682]

Hi, was lunch, dinner and drinks included in the all inclusion ? Thanks

[@SherryandHadi]

Hi 👋🏻 Thank you for watching our video ☺️ Yes! Everything is included 🤩🤩

[@sylvaindastous9822]

If i book family side and take premium room, do i have acess to adult side??

[@SherryandHadi]

We are not sure about it. The adult side was not opened yet while we were there

[@bittencourt2267]

Is the japanese restaurant open to every guests or only the 'VIP' ones?

[@SherryandHadi]

It is open to everyone, but it requires reservations 🙂

[@vanessafrigon]

Is there an elevator to get to the rooms on a higher level?

[@SherryandHadi]

Yes, there are elevators!

[@vanessafrigon]

@@SherryandHadi amazing thank you!

[@anxietyvibes]

The a la carte restaurants were absolutely terrible, uncooked raw chicken, no service, no wine and the sports bar food was a joke. I ordered ''ribs'' it was 2 bones with abit of meat in between. Other than that the resorts is clean and new, good buffet, good ambiance

[@SheriOUIMET]

Was it difficult to get dinner reservations

[@SherryandHadi]

Not really. We were able to book so easily. Just try to reserve as early as you check in

[@TheSilDante]

The restaurants all seemed to be empty. Was the Hotel itself empty? And had you any trouble getting the ALC reservations that you wanted and is there a limit for reservations?

[@SherryandHadi]

We stayed at Serenade during off season! We wouldn't say empty, but it was decent and quiet!we had no issues with making reservations, with no limit 🙂 hope this helps

[@TheSilDante]

@@SherryandHadi Thank you for responding. That sounds really good, especially since I'm also considering going in June, so the off season.

[@SherryandHadi]

You're welcome 🙂 We're sure you're going to have a great time 🙂

[@jackpage8032]

What type of room was this in your video

[@SherryandHadi]

Luxury master suite

[@user-rk2jn7tl6s]

Hello, do you know how is the sérénade all suite ?

[@SherryandHadi]

Hello Marc! Serenade all suite is right next to what you see in the video! It opened the week after we checked out, so we couldn't get to see it! Unfortunately, not sure how it exactly is!

[@katya19781]

Is there a bar on the beach?

[@SherryandHadi]

Not specifically on the beach. But one of the pool bars is so close to the beach

[@katya19781]

Great thanks 😊

[@Lotus-ks5sy]

I dont understand why they make a lots of breads, cup cakes, pies, etc in all of the hotels buffets while not much people like to eat. Those kinds of food have too much sugar, make fat, diabètes and not healthy at all

[@SherryandHadi]

We agree! What’s your favourite food at all-inclusive resort?

[@Lotus-ks5sy]

@@SherryandHadi All foods except hams, cheese, eggs, bread, cakes, etc. Those kind of foods we can buy at grocery to eat & dont need to spend more than 1K to go there to eat lol

[@Lotus-ks5sy]

Did you see a lots of fishes & fruits in this resort buffet?

[@SherryandHadi]

@@Lotus-ks5syfair enough

[@SherryandHadi]

@@Lotus-ks5syyes you can see the sea food buffet at 8:42 and the variety of fruits was great as well
