Hotel berhampiran Amber Cove, Puerto Plata

Todo bien. La limpieza y el mantenimiento se podrin mejorar.

Our vacation, 11-15 Dec 2023, in Be Live Marien, Puerto Plata was excellent. From the moment we arrived, we were placed and treated as VIPs. The hotel has aged, however, clean and well Kept. The service outstanding! I would like to thank Luis at the VIP lounge bar, who served us our first drink, Francis, Roberto, Cecilia and Josefina at Dining, among others, who were extremely hospitable and helpful. The food was great and presentable. The activities and shows, even though it rained on our last two days, decided to go to the sport bar and had a great time drinking and dancing, and again, great service. We are going back! in 2024.

I did not stay at the hotel with you I have to pay again because trip. Com lied to me when I was there at the hotel they did not keep my reservation like they told me I book for two adults and kids stay free laying to me because it wasn’t like that. All I want now is my refund back and the money that I had to pay for my son all because trip. Com lied to me That’s not fair I want my money back

Not even a 4*, sadly. This resort has potential to be something better. Let me get the not so great stuff out first: no decaffeinated coffee (unless you want instant) in the coffee shop. Public restrooms had doors that wouldn't close or locks that did not work. Vendors are either very persistent or busy lounging on the resort lounge chairs. Sometimes chatting with the security. Drivers of the ”little vans” can be dangerous, speeding along. Some of the landscaping is overgrown and blocks views. Saw someone nearly get hit by a van as she went to step on the pathway. Beach ”grill” is a very limited buffet. Food would be brought out, wrapped in plastic wrap around 10 and restaurant would open at 11. Food was overcooked, cold and soggy. Reservations are a most. Can only be made one day in advance for next day only. The service in all 3 a la cartes was good. Food was inconsistent. Mexican we had 2xs once excellent and once not good at all. Same meal ordered. Husband had some beef dish and he said it had the strangest ”texture” and gross. Food, everywhere, was average at best. Beverages: juices tasted like fake sugar. Frozen drinks were syrupy and not frozen. Unless you wanted to order a pina colada or coco loco at $4USD or $6 with rum. Water in bottles in room only. Otherwise you get a cup full. Resort was jammed with locals or those from cruise ship on day pass. Cruise ship clients got beach wait services and were able to bring food out of the grill. Food was replenished and fresher at the beach on the day the cruise ship day pass people were there. These people were ”treated” better than those guests on site. When waiting at reception, it seemed at that all the associates were happy to chat up the locals checking in. We waited and finally, had to chase someone down to answer a question. The locals obviously got preference and better service than other guests. We were in adults only room block. Came back to the pool for an afternoon swim and the pool was drained. No explanation. We paid extra (2 couples in 2 separate rooms)for the adults only area. The other pools were loud and had games or loud music and kids. Not what we booked or paid for. When the pool became available, the bottom is so rough you need to walk carefully. The filter/skimmer was not working. We pulled leaves out of the water. Then there was the handfuls of fake hair. Locals arrived with their large, loud speakers drinking and smoking in the pool late into the night. No quiet swim (or any swim because the pool was crowded). The noise bounced off the walls and could be hear around the other side of the buildings. The room we had was very dark, even with all the lights on. The toilet seat did not fit the toilet. Patio door was difficult to open and squeaked loudly when pushed. There was frequently the sewer smell in the bathroom. It was coming out of the shower drain. Shower didn't drain, sink stoppers didn't close, lighted makeup mirror didn't light, ceiling did leak in the bathroom

Excelente preparación . El personal muy gentil amable servicial , las variedades de comida muy bonita y excelente comida todo muy bonito el restaurante la limpieza de las habitaciones muy bien todo la piscina el agua tibia fue lo mejor para mi

Resort was excellent, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The bars and bartenders was great as well. Love how we had a beach view with the resort. The rooms was clean, pillows fluffed. Love how we had multiple bars to chose from. Great night life guys from animation are good people, kelvin was a good animation. We had fun with us. I recommend this for people who come to this hotel

The rooms, grounds and staff are very nice. Jonathan (doorman and bellhop) was superb. He found tennis ground for us to play across from the hotel in the golf course grounds at the last minute. He made our last day very pleasant. However, I will not give a 5 star review because we had a very unpleasant experience. We were at the deck dining area, which is outdoors next to the beach. WE were the only guests dining at that moment because it was very hot and other guests were dining inside in the air conditioned room. My husband wore a shirt that he left unbuttoned ( it is worth repeating that we were alone there, and that the shirt was on). This caught the eye of the person in charge (owner or chairperson) who was eating lunch with some relatives (a baby and a couple). The man, was wearing shorts and a dilapidated white undershirt and sandals, and the wife was wearing bedroom sleepers and shorts. This happened in the more formal/air conditioned dining room. I can understand that Casa Colonial is entitled to whatever protocol of dress they deem proper, however, if my husband was not allowed to wear a shirt (by the way a designer shirt) just because it was opened, then these rules and regulations should be written and shared with the guests prior or upon arrival and applied to EVERYONE. Both my husband and I felt very embarrassed and frankly offended at our age to be scolded in this manner. WE have traveled the world and abide by rules and regulations of each place we visit, but it seems to us that this incident was uncalled for. It was more disturbing because the next day in the same dining area, there was a pretty woman wearing her bikini top bathing suit and sandals and nobody asked her to put on a shirt and cover herself. So I wondered if this was either ageism or gender discrimination rigidly imposed on my husband. Carmen Vazquez

Deben ser más precisos en el tipo de habitación. Tuvimos que pagar 100 dólares más por persona por noche supuestamente por que era para mercado internacional la cual no nos gustó para nada. Ya que se nos salió del presupuesto
