A 3 Dressed Up as a 5
Reviewed By TouristLadyWe stayed there from May 31 - June 7. As it's low season, the hotel was about 40% full during the week. On the weekend it got busier, but we never had problems getting a lounge chair. The grounds are lovely. Everything was centrally located which made getting around very easy. The pool is a great place to hang out and we met some great people. The rooms are average. Clean and comfortable, but basic. Beware of the shower curtain that clings to you as you attempt to shower. The internet was hit or miss. Often one of us in the party wouldn't be able to get online. This is important for filling out ArriveCan and the e-ticket to leave the DR. The food is average, the buffet repetitive. The tables are usually only half set up with missing silverware/glasses/salt and pepper so you start cannibalizing other tables for them. The service was not great either. But you won't go hungry. One problem was the milk for coffee/tea. Several times it produced chunks in my tea. You'd think they'd fix it after a couple of complaints, but it kept happening. And if you're a tea drinker, bring your own teabags. The ones they had were not great. I will give two thumbs up for the dessert in the steak house (chocolate volcano) and in the Japanese restaurant (deep fried ice cream). Both were fantastic, and if I could have gotten away with it, I would have licked the plates. The BIG Issue The hotel has a time share section. The concierge staff are there to offer assistance and book your a la cartes, but also to get you to view a time share (code words: VIP Breakfast, "When did you get here?"). So what's the big deal - in all the bars there is selection of spirits on display that are ONLY for the VIP Members. You can see them, you just can't have them. Want a bourbon? Sorry, it's just for the VIPs. We really felt like second class guests.

Reviewed By selahnaomiThis was our 3rd visit. This time of year is not busy at all. We had fun in the pool, and it was nice for it to be less crowded than before. However I believe because it’s slow the entertainment extremely lacked. Along with the food. It was almost the same thing every single day - which is as before, this was not the case. I noticed they would reuse some of the same food from the previous day but just make it “look” different. I work in a restaurant myself and am food safety certified. I know that we try our best to control food waste so we don’t lose money - However, I believe that is unacceptable to serve the same vegetables and possibly rice that was not eaten prior more than once . I don’t really think that’s food safe. My husband got very sick from the food as well. I usually don’t complain but this just really bothered me. Our prior experiences with the food was great however. I believe when there’s more people there - the more fresh food they serve. The staff was great and overall it was a very peaceful trip. We had fun and we’re able to enjoy our time. If we come again, I will make sure to come during a more busier time for better entertainment and experience. I also did notice that the WiFi was better this trip and was able to use the WiFi by the pool and bar with no problem. That was awesome. For travelers, make sure you take a walk down the beach as they have a street with ice cream, pizza, sushi bar, etc.

THE BEST TIME I EVER HAD IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Reviewed By eliannaa22My family is originally from Dominican Republic and I wanted to stay away from the tourist-y area (especially during COVID). My boyfriend and I are really into nature and tranquility so this place was the best for distance from major tourist areas but close to activities (or at least offered some). Tubagua Ecolodge worked with us during the airport pick up, accommodated the meals we missed (because we were out) and reserved horse back riding with taxi service! The ecolodge offers a hike to a private natural pool where the hike was breath taking and the guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. All of the staff was extremely nice and the food was authentic and delicious every single time. I liked that there was no menu, all visitors were served more or less the same delicious food but every meal everyday is different (and healthy!) The purpose of this ecolodge is to be close to nature and relax, I loved every second of it.
