I was there at the Beach, in December. I think that the thing is they share facilities, like the resturaunts. There is a lovely beach with sort of a "sporty" end where you can use the sport gear, wind-surf, kiyak or other boats. There were diving excursions. There was an area full of animation activities and another for bocce as well as quieter areas of the beach. Each swimming pool seemed to have a different climate as well. You had to make reservations for the resturaunts in "Guest Services"..some of these were very popular so you should probably check this out as soon as you can.
The complex is quite big, very well lit at night. Power went out only twice while I was there and with that only for a short time. I always have a small flashlight and travel with candles. There were numerous tourist trips and offerings in "Guest Services". Outside of the hotel there are several gift shops, money change service, pharmacy and gelato shop. It is a big italian area..there were many italians and french. Many people were smoking, so if you aren't into that request a non-smoking room so you'll be in a block away from that.
There are buses to LaRomana from there you can go anywhere. There is a public beach near the hotel and another at Bayahibe, which is very nice to get a real local beach not part of a resort. There are a couple of big dive shops/dive centers at Bayahibe. You should have no problem finding that of fishing. If you are looking for shopping there is more selection if you go into LaRomana. There is a cute city park there by the church, and lots of shops.
Of the resturaunts, I'd say to definitely make reservations for the "Grill" or the "mexican" at the beach. They were both outdoors and very pretty at night...don't miss out on that.
