So far, this is the best high-end hotel we have stayed at in Santo Domingo. Rooms were very comfortable, we had a shower drain issue, which was taken care of quickly. Pool area, grounds are beautiful. Staff is very helpful and attentive.

Two observations: - On my previous check in it was extremely slow (30 minutes waiting) - On my latest check out on a Sunday, we did not have the option to check out at our floor (Suite level); and on the lobby area there was just one persone checking out! Needless to say that it was slow...
