The staff was friendly and approachable. The rooms are extremely outdated and should be renovated. There are no activities during the day. The meals were not up to par. In the hotel amenities they say they have a coffee shop. Well it’s a lie. They have a coffee stand. There’s a difference.

The room was ready for me upon arrival for check-in; however, the sofa bed wasn't ready. We had to call to fix the TV, and the air conditioning wasn't cooling very well despite the room being set to 17 degrees Celsius.
The good was good
The staff is winderful

First time in DR and will not be the last. This hotel is amazing. From the staffing to the pool, the area. I can’t find anything negative about this hotel. It’s beautiful. Great job. We will be back in June with our kids.

The food was not fresh the Sunday we arrived! Probably leftover??
So bad We got diarrhea after that!

But after we talked with the manager and chef they started to cook better fresh food everyday.

Also we wanted to go for a bicycle ride and the two bicycles were not working at all! They took it to fix it after We tried without succès!

They should put more attention at those details. And don’t offer something that it does not work properly!

The staff was helpful, Yarmin, Yamilka, and Sandra from the 3rd floor. Food was not great, and I stuck to fruits throughout my stay. It was inconvenient getting service even though it seemed I was the only guest because bar areas were closed, and often hadd to find someone to provide me a drink. It was boring. It took me 2 hours to check in, and my room was ready an hour after check-in. There are no ATM's in the area. Uber is corrupt there as they will message you asking for cash, and they'll cancel the Uber once you get in. The batting cage was not serviceable and there is a basketball rim, but no where to bounce the ball as it is on grass. Pool closes early at 8pm. I would offer that pilots stay here. This is in a gated area with security. To have a guest come into the property they must have a valid ID. The drinks are served in small cups so you need to have 2 because you'll drink the first one fast.

Great stay

Hodelpa is a nice place with great staff. All inclusive is not at the level of others, but you are not paying a huge All Inclucive fee either. It is not all day eat and drink. The price reflects this. It is very adequate for anybody not wanting to worry about eat and drinks. We were in a group of about 25 people and everyone was satisfied with what you get for the price paid. As I stated earlier the staff is great. Hodelpa is an old Embassy Suites. So if you have ever been to one of those you should understand both the building and room layout. I won't say it is a negative, but they do have music and some kind of entertainment that goes until about 11pm each night. Depending on where your room is and if you want to go to sleep before that time, you may be bothered. We just accepted it and figured it is the Dominican way.
They like to have a good time. The Hotel is set within a private residental community. It is quiet and safe. Once again the staff were GREAT.

¡Todo excelente! Pero deseo mencionar que las bebidas (normales para un americano) que ellos le llaman Premium no están incluidas. Eso le quita emocion a la estadía, porque las bebidas incluidas están en el área de la piscina entonces los que desamos pasar un rato nice en el Lobby que bastante hermoso y acogedor es, deben pagar su bebida. Por ejemplo yo aunque me encantó el lugar, no hay un atractivo de el que me haga volver a repetir la experiencia. Ya que la playa no está cerca, que yo estaba conciente de eso, haga su hotel más llamativo. Para descansar es Perfecto, para enfiestarse con su gente, no tanto.

This hotel has a lot of improving to do. I am a hotelier by trade and a all inclusive frecuent traveler. I have never been asked to pay for an early check in. We arrived at 12:30pm. I made a fuss but paid the $10.00 per person.

The FD agent gave us our wristbands, but our room was not ready until almost 3pm.

We arrived on Saturday, the buffet food was fine, for lunch and dinner. Some of the left leftovers wefe put out for dinner as well.

Drinks by the pool are horrible, and the staff is not the friendliest.

The room was clean and ver spacious.

Check out is at 12, you can stay until 2. But is such a limited hotel you really do not want to stay after 12.

Will I be back, no. Will i recommend. NO.
There are so many hotels that offer so much more for the same price or less .

Far from beach. If you like to golf in 100 degree then this your spot. If you come for Vacation there a lot more better options and facilities in Juan Dolio more entertaining and better food. No air conditioning in hall to room or it’s not working. The restaurant is hot. I went to another location due to amenities

Warning NOT IN PUNTA CANA.

Via from Expedia misshab this was one of the Punta Cana options for a package, this hotel is actually about roughly 90 miles away, you can end up paying about 300 dollars or more on cab fare just to get there.

Hotel is very small but the staff is extremely friendly and the best part of the stay, they help me and cheer me when I was visibly upset over the misshab.

Buffet is simple but quite good (Didn't had Mangu in any of the days I was there).

Hotel is not on the beach but very close it and the hotel includes transportation to it.

I do recommend it if you are gonna stay near that area. Mostly for relaxation than party atmosphere.

Unlike other inclusive resorts this one closes the bar at 11pn during the he week, and with no market nearby that pretty much kills your night. Definitely don't think of buying any from the hotel store, they wanted $4 for a tiny can of beer, which in comparison could have bought the largest bottle (Jumbo) available of the same beer at a Colmado for less
Also this resort sells day passes to the locals, which means your peaceful resort turns into a loud obnoxious pool party taking away from the vacation you paid for, and also causing service to falter due to the increase of people.
Lastly the food. One good point was that at each meal there way always at least one dish that had incredible flavor. However the midnight snack buffet was lack luster, food was typically already cold as soon as it opened and not much by way of offerings, typically hamburger and hotdogs, no dessert and no sides like salad or pasta.
Speaking of food .... No ranch dressing??? Asked repeatedly and they just don't offer it, unheard of at any resort I've ever gone to in this country. But if you like Italian dressing, oil and vinegar then your all set, however me no.

Hotel needs supervision,quality control

Our stay was below average.We stayed 5 nights and the bed linen were never changed.When we checked in we found the room uncleaned from the guests that preceeded us.We believed that the beds were only made but was never changed.There was hair all over.We complained so they sent a maid to sweep and mop the room.We have stayed in several all inclusives in the Dominican Republic and have allways tipped the workers who served us well.This trip thrre was nobody to tip service was equally poor in every area.We did'nt see any one superviseing,no one making shere quality was maintained.Seemed to us as though all the workers were amatuers and they did'nt care.I have never met more incomtipent front desk staff.
Hotel seems to run itself,and it is running down into the ground.

Terrible experience

From the very beginning we noticed the lack of customer service at this facility. We travel to the Dominican Republic nearly twice or three times a month on business. Have been lodged and many hotels. And wanted to give this hotel a try. That was a terrible mistake. My wife and i decided to leave the hotel nearly an hour after we arrived due to the lack of service from the staff. From the manager down, the staff are terrible at customer service. We tried to obtain a refund for the $249.00 that we paid for our room. Because we never even went up to the room because it was not ready. We were told that it was not possible. We then made a reservation in a place that we frequent for $359.00 a night. This should have been our first choice. The online images are nothing like the palce itself. I personally do not take time to write reviews, BUT THIS WAS THE MOST TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD IN THE MANY HUNDREDS OF HOTELS THAT I HAVE BEEN TO. PLEASE CONSIDER ANOTHER PLACE BEFORE YOU BOOK A RESERVATION BECAUSE YOU WILL REGRET IT.

The staff was awesome always ready to help and meet your needs. This hotel is great for business and just to get away for a few days. This hotel is not for vacation entertainment as there wasn't any. If you want to do tours and/or excursions research before you book. The menu was very poor as it seemed leftovers were created into a \"different dish\" after the 3rd day. I stayed way too long here should of split the 16 days with another place as the Nationals take up the weekend and it was way too much for the small dining area they have. If you want peace and quiet don't care for a leftover menu then this is a good place
