Was there in October, don't know where Allen stayed but can tell you the food was quite diverse and of decent quality.
There was beef,chicken,seafood,fresh made pasta, a large variety of salads and deserts,many beverages and yes they do have hamburgers and hot dogs. If you go hungry it will be your own fault.
Anyway,the hotel was very clean and beautifully laid out,the beach is very clean and the pool is enormous.
If your just looking to relax and not spent your nites bar hopping I think you will enjoy this hotel. However be advised that English is not the primary language so take a little english spanish dictionary and try learning some basic phrases
such as, Hello,Please and Thank You and you will find that the Dominican staff will be more than helpful. The European staff tend to be on the arrogant side,but that tends to be their nature.
Just try to keep an open mind and remember that things just don't happen in the D.R. quite as fast as you might expect in the U.S.
Also it definitely is not a 5 star hotel by American standards maybe 2.5 - 3 star.
Remember everyone has different expectations and what I might like you might not,just go with an open mind and enjoy.
