“Paradise Found!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

Wow! Have been to many 5 Star resorts in the Caribbean, usually 2-3 different ones per year... but now I have found Paradise!!! Was in Punta Cana in June, so wasn't sure I wanted to go back to DR.. but this was sooo different.. has the mountains, great breezes... I prefer it to Punta Cana... I was in Building 6, and on the 3rd floor with an amazing view of the ocean. The resort had many restaurants to choose from, lots and lots of activities if you wanted, several beaches and pools.. you could do as much or as little as you wanted. I would be remiss if I didn't say thank you To Maria and Lisandro at Serenity Beach, for anticipating my every wish from Sangria that was fabulous, to Maria's secret frozen drink that had chocolate as one ingredient... Yummmm-O!!!! Also, Richard Morlaes, one of the managers at the restaurants remembered my favorite things and they magically appeared as soon as I was seated....staff couldn't be any nicer.... and wherever you want to go on the property, they whisk you there... .. can't wait to go back, over and over.. and I don't usually do go backs!!!

Room Tip: Call the hotel before you go, ask to speak to the manager, and ask them what room they would put the...

“Best All Inclusive Hotel of 2007”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

The hotel had activities for all ages and had food to cater all. The staff were very helpful and if you asked of anything they would make sure you got it. I would definitely recommend families of all ages to go.

“Everything i would have wanted from a holiday”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2011

Having read most of the other reviews i would just like to give my honest review of Fun Tropicale! We stayed for two weeks in January all inclusive. This was my first holiday all inclusive and i was pleasantly surprised! It rained for just 1 hour during the whole two weeks of our holidays. The average daily temp was a minimum of about 30 degrees celcius. The staff are definitely this hotels biggest asset. I would like to thank Ciriako, Junior, Leo, Agneus, Jose, Marino, housekeeping and so many more who made us feel so welcome and took very good care of us throughout the holiday. The staff are always happy and always greet you with a big smile. The bar and restaurant staff after 1 day call you by name and know what you are drinking. The free cocktails were delicious especially the pina colada or mai tai!! Their local beer "presidente" is also very very good! The bar staff were trying to teach me some spanish during my stay as thats their main language there!

Our accommodation was basic but very clean. Our sheets were changed daily! As long as it's clean, I dont mind basic as i did not go on holidays to stay in my room anyway!

The entertainments team were fantastic! Considering that occupancy was low during our stay, they still put on some great shows and always tried to involve everyone! Plenty of food options with buffet breakfast, choice of either buffet lunch at hotel, pizzas from their pizzeria or buffet lunch from their beach bar on the beach! I had no idea that they even had a beach bar on the beach so that was brilliant to be able to go to the beach and still get free drink and food! Then for dinner, this was rotated throughout our stay between 3 restaurants to add variety. We met some lovely people during our stay and i would go back again in the morning given the chance!!!!

For anyone who has already booked this resort or for anyone thinking about it, you'll have a great holiday at Fun Tropicale!!!

“I highly recommend this resort!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2011

I will start by saying I am shocked at some of the negative reviews this hotel has received recently as we had none of the issues mentioned! Our room was very clean and comfortable, the food was wonderful and the staff fantastic! (I work in the customer service industry) We stayed one week, arriving early Monday morning (1am.) and leaving later on the following Sunday(8:30pm.) There was low occupancy during the week so dinner's were rotated between the three restaurants with breakfast and luch available at the Calipso buffet daily. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were happy and had everything we wanted or needed. We felt like we were welome old friends who had come to visit. Hot and cold running water was available at all times and our rooms were kept very clean by the housekeeping staff. The only problem we had was that our safe was jammed in the locked position. The technician was at our room within 15-20 minutes, got it open and the front desk immediately replaced the locking mechanism. Our room was located directing behind the main pool bar and even there, we had no excessive noise problems that bothered our sleep. Yes, they had music on for various events but it was stopped at a reasonable hour.
Considering that this is a 3 star hotel, it went far beyond my expectations. Two years ago I stayed at a 5 star resort in Boca Chica which was nice, but we had to change our initial rooms as they were flooded and had a very musty/damp smell. I enjoyed myself there but have no great desire to return either. Fun Tropicale totally captured my heart and I am already planning my next trip there. We made new friend with other guests from all over the world and several staff who now feel almost like family to us. A special thanks to Riley, Jessie, Leo, Lucy, "Steady" Eddie and Mario for taking such good care of us! I am ABSOLUTELY recommending this hotel to my friends!
