| said: The cleanliness of this hotel left very much to be desired. The pool area was rarely cleaned, in fact a magazine was left on a pool side table virtually at the begining of our holiday and was still there the day we left. (bear in mind that showers occur regularly in the caribbean, and this magazine ended up a soggy mess!)In the whole fortnight the pool itself was never treated with any chemicals. On one occassion i acually saw one of the staff in the pool with a dirty rag wiping the rim.
The jaccuzzi never worked, and had a leak on it of which you had to paddle through, to get to the toilets which were situated by the pool.
The restaurant left very much to be desired, what a filthy dirty place!. Every meal time we had to search for a plate that was clean.
The maid came to room most days, and had a quick flick round, some days we were left without towels! The sheets were changed maybe about 3 times in the whole fortnight! On the occassions they were'nt changed, all she did was move them round.
One evening we were sat at the bar, and the staff were clearing away, we actually witnessed the bar staff, dipping the floor mop into the sink which was used for washing the plastic drinking glasses. This was reported to the hotel management immediately.
The food was poor and most importantly cold! At the begining of the holiday each meal time we would see other guests queing outside the dining room, and we commented that they must be hungry. We quickly realised that to get some warmth in the food, you had to be there as soon as it was put out.
Hot drinks such as tea and coffee was virtually impossible, in the whole two weeks we never had a cup of tea or coffee that was remotely warm
The bar where the main entertainment took place was very poorly serviced. We had to be there an hour before the entertainment took place otherwise we couldn't get a drink. One barman services this area, and unfortunately he had limited amount of glasses. When he ran out of glasses he had to go round the other guests searching for empty glasses, then he had to wash them before getting back to serving other guests. One evening we counted 23 people waiting to be served whilst he was collecting glasses.
The beach was never cleaned, one of the days we had a stroll along the water edge, and saw a broken toilet and an old oil can just laying on the hotel beach. The sewerage pipes from the hotel ran down onto the beach and were all broken!!
The rooms to this hotel were very basic, and we asked to be moved. The alternative rooms offered were a disgrace. In one of them, the bathroom door was holding the ceiling up.
The location of this hotel would be idillic for a get away from it all holiday, but unfortunately the accomodation was appauling. The staff were untidly dressed and rarely smiled.

| said: This was an excellent holiday the animacion team made it even better they are all wonderfull people and made our holiday so much fun,always around to make you laugh!!.
The hotel is great but wouldnt be without these. We are planning on going back there this may it was that good,there has been building work going on in the hotel but it is of no bother at all,only small minded and petty people would complain if they had nothing better to occupy themselves with the building work has just about finished now it was while we were there it didnt bother us.
It's a fab hotel to stay at and you would be missing out if you didnt go there. Even just for Eddie and spaghetti youu must go to Edies, Mamas cafe the chicken is fab!!

| said: We had a brilliant holiday.
The maid was fantastic. Our rooms were always spotless.
The food was lovely although we did get fed up of eating the same things (we did expect this though). Alacarte was fantastic the brazillian was the best by far. You can choose from Spanish, Italian, Brazillian and Mexican. Your only allowed to go twice a week though.
This hotel was located right on the beach. Luperon town was a ten min taxi ride, it's very different from the town we come from and is an experience. The local people are very helpful and friendly. Other than the town there isn't much else about. There are various trips to go on during your stay. The Quad bikes were excellent!!!
The staff at this hotel were fantastic!! Although we didn't travel with children the kids club rep was amazing with all of the children on the resort (even in her spare time).
The bar and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful, although sometimes they can be a bit full on with the ladies.
The entertainment was excellent. There are lots of different activities on during the day by the main pool and also on the beach including windsurfing, kayaking, banana boat and snorkeling. This hotel has its own horses which are also free to ride.
The night time entertainment didn't start till 10pm which was a bit late. When this was finished the place to be is GALACTICO!!
The only this that we didn't really like about the hoilday was that the dominicans came to stay at the hotel on a friday and left on a sunday, they eat all of the food so get to the restaurant early.
Beach towels were also provided.

| said: I am 12 and I thought this hotel was FABULOUS! I had the best time of my life. The animation team were excellent..they were all dancers and were really friendly.
The bar staff would always make you special cocktails and were very polite.
The pools were excellent! They were VERY big and the bar in the pool was really cool!
It was so hot and the beach was excellent, the sea was bright blue and was cordoned off where its wasn't protected. The banana boats were fun to go out on.
The food was excellent, even though I'm a fussy eater I always found something that I liked. At lunch time there was huts by the beach that you could have fruit, pizza, pasta and meat from which was ace!
I can't wait until I go back. We spent new year over there and we had an excellent time. The 11-2 disco at night was really fun..the music was really varied and all the animation would get you up for a dance.
The shows on a night were absolutely brilliant, there was always wicked dancing and funny shows. The karaoke was especially good! We met some excellent animation guys..and there was all varied countries; Canada, America, England, Dominican. I love this hotel so much, please go!

The only downfall is the food the breakfast were good its buffet style but the main buffet during the day we found to be very poor the food was only warm we even tried going early but it was just the same.
The staff are all very nice and friendly not too pushy.

| said: Well what can I say about this hotel, everything was fantastic, can not complain. The all inclusiveness definitely lived up to its name.
The bar staff were very good they were polite, spoke very good English and did not moan about the amount of drinks you had or about the amount of times you went up. Very humorous guys liked a laugh with you.
The rooms were very spacious and fairly clean, lovely sculptures out of your towels.
Food was varied and good quality, although it changed at weekends when the locals arrive, Friday 3pm til sun 4pm unpleasant people but bit of telling them off does the trick.
The location is a bit on its own but there is plenty of trips to go on to keep yourselves occupied, the monster truck trip and mega truck trips are not to be missed, and the ocean world is a must all very enjoyable days and well worth the money.
The evening entertainments is good although it does not start until 10pm. this is because the restaurant is open 6pm till 9pm, breakfast is 7am till 10.30 then its continental breakfast till 11.30am.
The entertainment team do a very good job you never get bored from their club dance, to the water sports to the drinking contest (you can request coke, to take part).
The Dominican viagra is a shot and is vile but definitely works lol, there is a very strong vodka drink its vodka 151 the strongest vodka you can try but you can't take it out of the country as it WILL explode in your case, so don't try it.
Be warned bartering is the way of life here so if they ask a price cut them in half and that's what you should pay but stick at it or the sellers will take the mickey, I brought a necklace the seller wanted 45 dollars (very expensive) I got it for a mere 8 dollars, they wheel and deal in dollars and pesos so either will do.
Women you can have your nails done out here (not very good but OK if you need a nail fixed) hair braiding and water sports on the beach. The kiaking is the best and snorkeling.
Its an amazing place but go all inclusive even the trips include your drinks and meals.

| said: The Luperon Beach resort joined together with the Tropical Beach resort, you can not tell the two hotels apart as they are both as one.
It has 3 main pool areas which are all good sized pools
one pool is for the tropical side but everyone can use it, it has a waterfall in it and a very pretty setting
the second pool is near the buffet restaurant and nothing really happens around this pool so if you want something
Quiet and close to everything then this is ideal.
The third pool is where everything happens, the entertainment team or as they are call the animation team are there from 10am till 6pm doing activities around the pool like darts, vollyball and water polo.
All the pools have their own bar which serve drinks from ten until midnight.
Next to the third pool there is a theatre, this is where the animation team do there nightly shows, they start about 8 for the kids disco and then following that they will put on a show from a afrian show with fire and dancing too something called couples night, where they will get couples on stage to perform different activities.
The animations team are wonderful they really do try and if you dont want to join in you dont have to they are not pushy at all. This will end about midnight and then if you want to carry on the night they try get you to go to the nightclub onsite where your all inclusive drinks carry on until 2am!
The hotel food is nice some nights there were a few things in the buffet with where not to my taste but if you want to try the local food then you will be fine. If you are a fussy eater you can get away with it at the hotel as they serve eggs however you want them cooked in the morning, there was always pasta for lunch and for dinner there was always salad and chips if worse comes to worse!!!
The cleanliness of the hotel was brilliant, the hotel maids would clean everyday and you would put a sign on your door if you didnt want them to clean that day.
The hotel staff where wonderful too, there are bell boys who are there for you if there any problem what so ever and they are very friendly.
The locals did come to the hotel at the weekends but i was reading on my comments of this hotel how the caused so much troble and I was very worried about this but to be honest I never experienced a bad thing with them. They were friendly and they just were like any other tourist in the hotel! so there is no need to worry.
To be honest the only thing that let the hotel down was the people staying in it! We heard many people who expected a lot more for their money. At the end of the day no you dont get you drinks served to you in the resterant and no there isnt a mini bar but it doesnt matter you dont need it!
People in the hotel mainly English were moaning at the smallest silliest things like I say above about the mini bar, they had no reson to moan.
The hotel is a cheap one to go to and no you cant really go out the complex as there isnt much about but if these people wanted the things they were moaning about then they should have gone to a different hotel!!!
All in all the holiday was lovely, what more do you need you have entertainment if you want it, a beach 2 mins away, pools to choose from and clean rooms!!!!!!!!

| said: This is a lovley hotel, when you arrive you are greeted with a cocktail, freindly staff and a very beautiful reception.
The rooms were clean part from the trail on small ants we had going across one wall.
I advise not to turn your air con off at any point because you will be invaided by cockroches errr
Part from that the maid came every day to change towels and make the beds... which are massive.
The food a-la-carte resturants are very nice the food is very good with alot of choice.
The buffet resturant has also a good choice of food, all the food is labeled so you dont have to be scared of what you are eating.
The location, well its in the middle of nowhere you can use the hotels bikes and ride to luperon but its not for the faint harted, we did it but i felt a little uneasy in luperon you get stared at alot.
There are lots of things to do at the hotel, but if your the type of person who likes to exspore theres not much to exsplore unless you hire a car.
The hotel staff are very nice even nicer if your single if you get my drift, the men hit on any europen women.
It got a little anoying after a while.
The entertainment was great the shows are so good.
I wouldnt go again but only because ive been there done that.
