As you know, this resort closed and cease operations last November 2024 and then Hyatt came in and bought it out and now it's called Dreams Resorts & Spa's. Hyatt said the property will remain the same but with few changes.

New url: https://www.hyattinclusivecollectio...reams/dominican-republic/cap-cana-resort-spa/

One thing is sucks that they have disclaimer notice: Please note that this hotel is not currently participating in World of Hyatt and guests will not be able to earn points or tier-qualifying night credits, redeem points, or enjoy in-hotel benefits at this time.

Yes, Marriott is similar. Some of their branded hotels do not participate in their travel points program here.

A lot of the AI's (Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, etc..) do not participate in their points programs.

30 years of traveling the Caribbean, I've never stepped foot in a resort.

It can be nice and fun if it's five star or equivalent.

It's about setting the right expectations.

Sit back and enjoy some luxury and study the behavior of people like Big in their natural habitat.

In my earlier years I did exactly this, and it was fun for a couple of days.

When my girlfriend and I managed to destroy the double bed, the female manager just laughed and let go of the payment.

I didn't regret it, but won't do it again

Let me guess keepcoming.

Are you an American?
I do not consider the above inappropriate for a discussion the Dominican Republic?

But I probably broke forum rules without intention, I will go read the rules asap and try not to break them

Doesn't really matter American or not, it is out of respect for other posters.

I take that as your opinion and not a fact.
What in my post lacked respect for other people? It's true that I lack respect for self-important people. I hope there aren't many of those who post here.

Incidentally, how many hundreds of times has Big made fun of what in his opinion are "low class" people.

Isn't it okay to give him some intelligent feedback that this is not okay.

Kicking up and not down is what I think is acceptable

"Intelligent Feedback" - yeah that's the ticket

The Chinese has also recently released affordable search services based on superior AI technologies in terms of cost.
I am recently trying those out, looks good.

The Chinese are on a good track there!

And this has what to do with the subject of the thread?

I just stayed at that resort for four days. They had great service and the food was pretty good. Concerning record arrivals in the Punta Cana area, I am having a hard time believing that. The resort was only 50% full and on the way home to JFK from the Punta Cana airport, the flight was only about 40% full.

You’re on thin ice Lasse. It’s beginning to crack.
