Emotions resort in PP, good or bad
For playa dora area, i think Emotions, eberostar are best, for price Emotions
Been to all, Iberostar is the best, but beyond our budget. This is an end of the year trip for the school teachers and we have been to Sunscape and a few others. Since we are all Dominicans going the weekend crowds dont bother us.
I was implying more about food quality.....if thats not an issue go to Belive they have the best pool set up...and by that i mean sizewise
I vacationed at Iberostar at the beginning of this month and it was good - food and size wise. But a little pricey as you mentioned. I thought they would give locals a better deal, but not the case as I found out. Paid almost full price for my Dominican girlfriend. I had a post earlier about "local vs tourist resort rates" and the good number on the forum were able to get "local" prices. Out of curiosity, I looked for rates in September (hurricane season + 3 mos in advance) and the price is 1/2...
Bob, have you tried negotiating...there's a guy I know at Iberostar reception ...let me know if you want to try...
We have a Dominican travel agency that is good for getting the best rates available, but thanks for the offer. We pay the transport and subsidize the teachers, but their family members aren't subsidized by us. Every year we try to go somewhere different, having did the southwest before the Pandemic. Nobody wants to go to Punta Cana, so North Coast is the place this year.
It’s part of the HODELPA HOTEL GROUP which it’s a top Dominican hotel corporation , specially in Santiago
If it’s anything like gran Almirante then you are in for a good vacation ….
PS. HODELPA has the Best public bathroom in santiago ! You can hold a meeting inside that private door 🚪 toilet room 😂
The resorts in Punta Cana are great but the long trip when you have a bunch of little kids, extra expense, and weed covered beaches make it not worth it.. Jarabacoa is only a couple hours whereas Punta Cana is around 6 hours travel.
I stayed at Emotions back in late March 2023.
Here the positive.
Food was good. Italian restaurant superb. Rooms were clean, nice, rather new, comfortable. Bars are good. Staff was very friendly throughout.
Negative:
Hardly any entertainment/animation whatsoever. The show at night was extremely poor. And at the bars at times there were unacceptably long lines, at least during ' rush hour'.
But overall I enjoyed my stay and I can definitely recommend it.
