El hotel si es bonito y las personas que están en el área de la comida son amables. Pero en recepción son terribles deben mejorar ese personal urgentemente.Llegas nadie te explica dónde queda las cosas. Solo te dan un mapa y ya eso es todo tampoco te dicen las actividades ni donde ni hora. Tienes que correr todo el hotel buscando que hacer. La comida solo se enfocan en mariscos pescados. Muy poca variedad fuera de eso lo más destacado es el desayuno. Los restaurantes súper limitados desde que llegamos no había espacio para ninguno nunca pudimos ir a uno. Las pulseras nunca las activaron llegamos al cuarto y tuvimos que virar a recepción para que la activaran como si las habitaciones quedaran tan cerca de recepción tampoco nos dieron las tarjeta para las toallas en fin solo nos pusieron la pulsera y ni activada estaba.

From the moment that we arrived, every staff member that we encountered was helpful, informative and very friendly! There was always a Vista Sol staff member or onsite security willing & able to guide us &/or point us in the right direction to the amazing amount of amenities that they have. The daily activities calendar was visibly available as soon as you check in. The room was PERFECT, spacious & clean. The breakfast/lunch/dinner buffet was plentiful! If/when a food item was no longer available all you have to do is ask the staff for more availability & they'd be more than happy to check & likely bring more out! It is kind to tip for the extra effort. Make sure to book a reservation at the restaurants which is included. I recommend an early dinner booking (6:30-8:30) & if you'd like to pick up an extra bite you can wander over to the buffet since it's open until 10pm for dinner! I will definitely be going back as soon as I'm able to. As my 1st ever all inclusive stay, I was absolute impressed! Pool has a swim to bar & some drinks are included, again tip your bartender well when possible! Front desk can help with changing large bills. Hope this review if helpful & that you enjoy your stay as much as we did! 10/10

Esta es mi segunda vez en el hotel y no me ha decepcionado, mi habitación está recién remodelada lo cual fue muy útil ya que no tolero muy bien el polvo ni la humedad. El staff muy amable , la comida muy variada y las actividades entretenidas. La playa estaba hermosa y limpia y los animales exóticos muy bien cuidados ❣️ definitely I’m coming back in the future si podría sugerir un poco más de vigilancia en las piscinas por el hecho de los niños pero todo está muy bien

Exterior areas of the resort are nice and well maintained. The room in building 5 was poorly maintained, the lock on the door had previously been broken and the door was seriously damaged. Every door in the building was fitted incredibly tightly leading to the issue. Upon arrival the room was full of mosquitos. There didn't appear to be any active mosquito management like in some other resorts. It was clear thay the room we stayed in had recently been painted, paint splatter over the phone and some furniture.

Food in the buffet was average, but plentiful. The restaurants that you have to book at were all good, food was delicious and service was excellent.

The beach is reasonably well maintained. Any activities were not very well advertised around the resort or at check in.

Overall, give the price it's a pretty reasonable resort.

The first room we got, the TV was not working, toilet was not working, we reported this many times and they said they will send someone to solve the issues and that never happened, the third day we had to request to be moved from room and they could not help because we weren’t at the room, also they asked us to move the bags to reception which is awful as they have people that can help in that. The 4 day we asked again to be moved from room and was a terrible experience, the second room AC was not working properly, but at least we have TV in that one and the toilet worked properly.

The property is nice. The beach is amazing. That property has so much potential. The room are big and spacious. Can use better detailing and cleaning of the rooms. The pillows are the worse I’ve ever experienced. I requested two more pillows and they were just as bad. It felt like cotton balls all over the pillow. The staff was very nice s d accommodating. Thr food in the buffet was pretty good. They had a large variety and the staff were helpful. Breakfast was the best. There were one or two that had attitudes and didn’t seem to be very happy to be there. My biggest complaint was with the specialty restaurants. We had the Japanese, it was ok. Service was good, the food was “ok”. Then we had the Mexican , the little buffet they had was good. The entree ( fajitas) were awful. The meat was hard, tasteless and had a lot of fat. I had reservations for the Italian, but i decided not to go. The entertainment was great, the team did very well at the beach, pool and outdoor auditorium providing a fun time for all guests. The shows were fun and enjoyable. They should have some more music past 11:30 ( everything ends).
The lobby staff were nice, but never had money to change to American dollar s in order to provide tips to their own staff. I know it’s not their fault, but they should pass it down to management.
We took an excursion (Safari) from the hotel. It was a lot of fun. They worked hard to make it an enjoyable trip.
The beach is so amazing, can’t say enough!

Room's were cleaned regularly. Most of the staff were nice and friendly except a few. Weilson at the reception was super nice and friendly. Food could be a little better. Drinks were endless but felt like alcohol was diluted a lot. So always had to ask for extra alcohol and then still wouln'd get the buzz. Once I knew the trick, I would always ask to customize my drinks. Snacks by the beach were adequate but pizza quality wasn't good at all. I had much better pizzas and snacks at a different resort in the past. VIP area snack and drink bar can improve a bit. VIP area had no issues with drinks but lack the snacks and most of the time ran out of foods and coconuts but for a relaxing private area with less crowd VIP area was amazing to relax and enjoy the beauty.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food wasn’t amazing in general, but El Mariati and Teppanyaki Restaurant have a great food and awesome service.
The spa was a highlight with great amenities, and Maria was amazing. She made me feel well taken care of. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable experience!

The resort itself was nice for the price, pool was good with lots of activities both in the pool and on the beach. The food-both buffet and restaurants were definitely lacking compared to all of the other places we have been. The lobby bar made great drinks. We would likely not return to this resort and spend a little more money on a nicer one due to the food.

I liked the evening entertainment, especially the Dominican Night and the Circus. The Tappanyaki restaurant gave us good food and a fun night. The room maid was very good and friendly. The room was clean, well lighted, and comfortable. The gardens were beautiful and maintained well. There are three swimming pools, one was very noisy with a party atmosphere, but the other two were quiet and much more enjoyable for me. The Fitness Center was clean and had a variety of weights, treadmills, and weight machines.

Plus they don’t refill the coffee or refrigerator on a day by day basic only when you get in..I wasn’t sure if to stay or just leave at one point I was ready to cancel everything and leave the place .. great job by Ignacio, Steve, dairy, and the security personal ..

Upon leaving I asked for a late checked and they charged me which in USA they wouldn’t and they didn’t want to help me contact the taxi service I paid for.

First stayed at this property in 2012 and liked it very much. It was beautifully landscaped and various types of tropical flowers always seemed to be in bloom. The peacocks were a nice touch too.
We went back twice before Covid. This stay was our fourth, and best. This time even more plants were flowering. The lawns were lush green and the palm trees and pine trees are probably 70 feet tall now, providing shade when you want it. There is an abundance of pathways to enjoy walks. The paths are lighted and security is present around the campus.
Beach chairs and towels are readily available. Pizza, burgers, and snacks are available at the beach, as well as soft drinks, coffee, and a full bar. The beach has been protected by a sea wall and a lovely pier has just been built. No beach erosion at this resort. There is plenty of room to lounge in the sun as well as in the pleasant pine grove just off the beach.
The staff is always pleasant and helpful and there are many English speakers among staff.
The rooms are cleaned daily, public spaces are constantly cleaned. The three pools are clean and inviting.
There is regular entertainment each night at 9:30 PM and preceding that, there is a children's program at the theatre.
The buffet is great, with great variety and delicious food. There are options to eat in several specialty restaurants as well. This property is our little piece of heaven.

1. The room is unsanitary and the toiletries are very poor.
2. More importantly, our body has been bitten by dozens of red and swollen areas caused by bugs on the bed.
3. The food was not fresh. On the first night of dinner on 12/24/2024, I had rotten shrimp and had diarrhea at night. The next day, they used the remaining shrimp for grilling on an iron plate. I thought it was new shrimp, but I ate it and immediately spat it out because I tasted the rotten meat.
4.On the third day, I saw again that the remaining shrimp was used by them to make risotto. I tried, but it's still the rotten shrimp from the previous two days.
5. I'm scared, I can't believe they're using leftover food in different ways to reappear on the table. I can't believe it they use leftover food from other restaurants to serve to customers again in the self-service restaurant.
