As amazing as the picture are on the Web site, they could not come close to how amazing this place really is!!! My husband and I went for our honeymoon and we could not have been happier. The service, rooms, and food were all OUTSTANDING!! It took some getting used to having to make a reservation for dinner, but when we didn't feel like it making one, we just ate at the buffet - which by the way, catered to our every possible culinary craving. Next time, I think we will spring for the Royal Service, we had a Regal Ocean View King Jacuzzi Room and it was fantastic, I can only imagine that Royal is even better. We did have to tell the consierge "No" to an hour discussion on how to book our trip even cheaper next time (three times, and the last time he aksed, he told us he gets a $50 bonus for each couple that sits for the presentation) but we weren't about to, we both think it was about time share in other Melia Corp. properties. The bars, pools, and activities were all outstanding too! Our only glitch all week was on our last night. There was a very big storm, lots of rain, and the roof on the third floor "Sapphire" section leaked. They tried to put is in a 2 double beds room, that wreaked of smoke, but thankfully that room had a leak too. In fact, all the rooms on that floor did (and the building is only 3 years old). But they moved us down stairs, we slept and left the next morning. I recommend this to EVERYONE!! And take advantage of all the activities - scuba, golf, catamaran (we did and it was great), snorkeling (also great) and horse back riding (we didn't do all of the activities, but it was a honeymoon, and we were otherwise occupied ;-)).

This was a girls getaway. We were overwhelmed by the beauty of the hotel - the architecture of the building was stunning, the gardens were spectacular, the pool was impeccably maintained, and the beaches were clean and full of lounge chairs under large huts. The other plus is that they had live entertainment every night. Our room was very lovely, but it did have a mild smell of mildew (I see other travellers here noted that odor as well). The food was good, not great. We did not enjoy having to make reservations so far in advance to secure a reasonable dinner time. The staff were very nice, but there was definitely a language barrier. Not many of them spoke fluent English. I appreciated having Security walking around in view, but not in your face. Getting there was an easy flight from the East Coast and the airport at Punta Cana was fabulous - very easy to get in and out of, plus it was really beautiful. I would recommend this place.

The resort was awesome. We stayed 10 nights for our honeymoon (seemed like a long trip when we booked, but it went so fast it was hard to leave). The first room we were assigned was on the ground floor and the hotel staff was able to relocate us on the second night with no issue to a third floor room. The pool was perfect, especially the swim up bar and bartenders. We got to know some of the guys and they would have our drink of choice waiting for us when we would swim up. Just be wary of their "special" drink, Mamajuana. This concotion of wine, rum, honey, tree bark and some Dominican spices surely is not for the faint of heart. The dining choices were numerous. Our favorite was the hibachi place. But we did not have a meal we didn't like. As far as all inclusive goes, this was definenlty one of the best we have experienced. The night life was great (again considering this is a resort and it's entertainers). This is a highly recommended resort. It is on our list of places to revisit within the next few years.

View of resort is beautiful and resembles pictures viewed on internet. My husband researched and then confirmed with trvl agnt resrt to be every bit a 6apple/star rating. NOT. Very nice 1-bdrm suite with home amenities, but really wanted to be pampered, like on a Vacation. Never had enough towels, hard to locate maid, need res for all but one restaurant, need to call the day b-4 after 6Pm, our choices were 6pm or 9pm, had to wait for pool towels most days 20+mins, one swim-up pool bar,thank goodness the bar tenders were terrific, faster to get yourself a drink when lounging pool side, resort maybe under staffed(?). Gym does not open until 7AM and 3 of 8 machines were out of order, free weights and spinng bikes available. Sorry to say we will not return to this resort. Good luck to all who venture here.

The most amazing honeymoon destination, especially if you're looking to just relax and not worry about a thing. Pedro, the Royal Service bartender, was great and knew just what we wanted and had it waiting for us when we got down to the pool/beach. Many restaurants onsite to choose from, lots of variety. The rooms are luxurious and clean. Pillow service was a plus. In room breakfast was my favorite meal.
