After spending two weeks at the resort, we found everyone very friendly, especially their animation team. The food was excellent and all of the restaurant starff were very pleasant. The resort is very well kept. The pool is great and it's also close to the beach. The snack bar is open very late for a quick snack. We loved to... More

We stayed at this lovely resort Jan 27th to Feb 3rd 2012. And I agree with other posts that this is not a 4.5 star. A good 4 star maybe. The beach is wonderful, the pool amazing, it’s relatively small in size making everything close and convenient, rooms expectable, and the food so so. That said, we really enjoyed our... More

This was our first time to the Dom Rep. We travelled in a group of 7 friends and payed around the $900 mark for the week per person...not bad. I would not pay anymore than $1000 a week to stay at this place. We're not picky people and do not need a glamorous resort to be happy. 7/7 of us... More

The food was great, the staff was some of the sweetest and funniest people ever (they were always doing things to keep you entertained and happy), the shows were fun, the club was kind of small but that wasnt a big deal. I went in December for 5 days and was super happy with my stay. I can NOT wait... More

I am going to say that first off if you are looking for a 4.5 star resort by american/canadian standards don't stay here. It is a solid 3.5-4 star for a tropical resort property. If you are picky you can always find something wrong. We take the little things in stride! The resort itself is smaller than I expected when... More

We stayed a week at this resort in late January. This was our first all-inclusive holiday, as we usually go on a cruise and we chose the Be Live in spite of some of the reviews. Our week turned into one of the most enjoyable relaxing holidays we have ever had. The food was good, with a wide variety –... More

We stayed at this resort in mid-January 2012. We had two rooms, in different buildings. The first rooms we were assigned were just plain grungy and frankly unsafe - they were on the ground level and the sliding patio doors wouldn't secure. We paid the extra for an update and one couple moved to building 9 the following morning; the... More
