Everything was absolutely fantastic! Jullian and Riccardo behind the bar were little diamonds and always had our drinks waiting (wicked)... all of the star friends were just amazing, the nicest people I’ve ever met... especially Tun Tun! But you're all really fab people and I love every single one of you! I fell in love with the place completely; I didn't want to go home. The shows that the animation team put on were just incredible, one in particular which I can only describe as WOW was The Lion Ling! It made me cry it was so good. It’s by far the best holiday I’ve ever had, I will definitely be returning very soon... sorry George, haha! I can't wait to go back. The hotel is beautiful and really fun, but I would definitely advise going out into town for the night... the clubs are wicked! Love and hugs to all the guys, see you all soon xxxx

We arrived to be greeted by a welcome cocktail and shown to our room which was very nice - TV, fridge/minibar, balcony overlooking palm trees and the pool etc. The food was excellent. We ate mainly in the main buffet restaurant because it catered more for different tastes - especially handy if you have children who like different things!! We did eat in the Brazilian and Caribbean restaurants which we thought were very good but not much for picky children (my child’s fault not the restaurant!). The pool was huge, warm and very clean with plenty of sun loungers. Clean towels provided at the poolside daily. The beach was clean, sea warm and again plenty of loungers. We had a fab lunch one day when they cooked paella on the beach with huge fresh lobsters, music playing and cocktails flowing. There were lots of bars, a nightclub, children’s entertainment, an evening show and relaxation areas. The hotel was not rowdy or rough. All the staff were really friendly and if you tried to speak Spanish they loved it although everyone spoke English. I couldn't fault the hotel at all and we're going back next year. Word of warning - the flight was with Thomsons and was AWFUL so we're not going with them again!!!

Hotel and staff first class, food very good for all tastes, theme restaurants, very good, staff could not be faulted for friendliness and helpfulness, pool large, numerous beds and daily towels, beach under renovation, but nearby resort available (not told by direct holidays prior to visit !) only downside is the departure from Puerto Plata airport long queue at customs for at least an hour standing in extreme heat with children, and the fact that our suit case was entered by baggage staff and goods stolen even though it had a lock, enq reveal numerous other cases were also entered and goods stolen, suggest quality locks on all bags if traveling.

This was my first family holiday + in-laws and what a holiday loved it so much I am going back in Aug 07 for my honeymoon I would recommend it to any one who has the time to go out there.

Well I don't know where to start, when we arrived we where given a cold cocktail like a slush puppy, the hotel was gorgeous so big and well laid out. The food was very nice there was a buffet was everything you could think of in it, it was well laid out and the waiters were very friendly and very polite. There was a Mexican restaurant, a Brazilian restaurant and also a tropical one we never went to the tropical one because we are not really fish fans. The entertainers throughout the days very very good there was always something to do even if you are 2yrs old or 102yrs old. The Dominicans were very friendly even in the non-tourist areas. The entertainment was fantastic at night there was amazing shows and some nights they drag you up to the stage which is very embarrassing but it was a laugh. Me and sister got very friendly with the dancers and the day entertainers (star friends) there was Scooby, Gregory, Tun Tun, Cecila, Jorge, Cocoruco, Iasac, Owendi, Rafeal and may more, don't miss out on the day trips they are very good and you get to see allot. Also the resort had Flamingos at the reception they were so cute they also had false map turtles at reception too which my sister loves as she has 2 false map turtles herself. The hotel rooms were very well air-conditioned and tipping the maid she will top up your mini bar every day we just left her little hair clips and stuff like that. The swimming pool was massive and was warm at all times which was good. You can always get a sun loungers at the pool side or the gardens and on the beach and there is always security guards around to keep you from getting hassled by the locals trying to sell you stuff if you don't want them, they try to make you feel guilty by telling you they have no money and stuff and if your anything like me I would just buy stuff because I feel bad haha. There is so much more about this amazing holiday to tell, but why not just go see for yourself. I’m going back in May I loved it so much.

I have recently come back from the Dominican Republic and I thought it was the most amazing and best holiday ever. Words can’t describe it! It’s a paradise! The whole place is fantastic! The food in the hotel is unbelievable and the service is top class. The people are so friendly and the hotel has a wide range of activities. I swam with dolphins, quad biked, done water sports and got involved in the hotels daytime activities. The shows on a night time are fantastic! They are of such high quality! My favourite water was Jose who worked in the lobby bar! He was great! Route 66 was the night club where I and my friends who I met there hung out, it was really good!. But all in all it was a fantastic holiday and I am considering returning next year!

We went for our Silver wedding in May, the Staff are fantastic and the hotel is beautiful. The pool is the cleanest we have ever seen, it does have its own pool boy, who cleans all day, give him a few pesos he deserves it, the beach was lovely and cleaned every day and the sea is very warm, the sun was very hot, be careful. The food was amazing with plenty of choice,and drinks available all day, try the bucks fizz, yummy. We were left champagne and fruit in our room on our anniversary and fancy towels in animals shapes by the cleaners, very thoughtful. We have already booked again for next May.

Where do I start! Just amazing! Hotel, food, staff, & entertainment, couldn't ask for anything more. Going back in May 07 can’t wait.

Went to the iberostar for honeymoon, brilliant. Staff friendly & polite. Hard working but always smiling. Great food and great entertainment. Pool & garden area breathtaking. Beach & scenery superb. Horse riding and safari a experience. Coming back 2007. My 50th. Cannot wait. Cheers

The best hotel I've stayed in, I normally stay at 5 star but this was wonderful. The staff made my holiday so enjoyable.
