New Garden Hotel
8/10 Good
"It was noisy at times a lot of street noise and guests slamming doors at odd hours throughout the day. The staff is excellent the room was clean and modern and the property is centrally located. I have stayed on many occasions and I will be back."
"We had a lovely three-bedroom apartment, and each bedroom had its own private bathroom, which was a huge plus. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable for our group.
Having access to three different water parks made the experience even more amazing. There was always something fun to do for everyone.
Overall, it was a fantastic stay—10 out of 10! Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
Select Sosua Adults Only, Trademark by Wyndham All Inclusive
8/10 Good
"El hotel es muy amplio, pero nos asignaron un área más privada y tranquila, lo cual nos encantó. La habitación era cómoda, limpia y organizada, con todo lo necesario para una estadía agradable. Sin duda, lo mejor fue la vista al mar: bastaba con abrir la puerta del balcón para disfrutar de un paisaje espectacular. Además, a pocos pasos teníamos acceso directo a la playa y a la piscina infinita, lo que hizo la experiencia aún más especial.
La comida estuvo buena, dentro de lo esperado para un hotel todo incluido. Como observación, considero que deberían mejorar la señalización dentro del complejo, ya que en varias ocasiones nos perdimos tratando de llegar a los restaurantes. También pienso que el área de los shows nocturnos podría ser más entretenida, ya que las actividades resultaron poco interesantes.
Fuera de esos detalles, tuvimos una excelente experiencia y disfrutamos mucho nuestra estadía."
Viva Tangerine by Wyndham, A Trademark All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"Me gusto mucho muy family . muy amable too el staff la picina grande y la playa Rica y bella.
Los cuartos exelente. La comida 10 de 10
Lo unico que no me gusto ni me parecio justo y nunca me paso antes fue q en el cuarto en la nevera no dejaron nada ni un refresquito de 20 pesos. Para mi eso no estuvo bien para un todo incluido. Fui a un hotel de la misma categoria y diariamen me llenavan la nevera. Con cerveza precidente y refresh.
Ojala women eso en consideration ya que si alguien a media noche se pone mal no tener nada para tomar es muy malo. Esto me paso alguien se puso Mal y no tenia nada para dar.
Gracias"
"The property is great. The room came with a free breakfast each morning. The staff was very accommodating and let me have a late check out. The on-site restaurant is one of the best in that area. The location is perfect. You are maybe a 10min walk to the Sousa Beach and 5min walk to Alicia. The AC in the rooms keep you nice and cool throughout your stay. I will definitely book again and again."
Presidential Suites Lifestyle Cabarete - Room Only
10/10 Excellent
"Nice rooms and dinner buffet. Really good food, presentation was really nice. Coffee available 24 hrs. Located close to the city center. Free large water bottles in rooms and they replenish them. Most hotels give you two small bottles or none. Nice robes in the rooms to use when the AC gets cold."
