Great everywhere unless you get an old room

Second visit here. Staff is 5 star, infrastructure is tired in the non-renovated wings. Hence 3 stars. We had a Superior Ocean View room, bottom floor, walk out and close to the beach we like and the beach walkway. All good location wise. The AC and bathroom vent fans are permanently on, non adjustable which is fine as the tropical damp must be exhausted from the room. If you need “ no AC noise at all ” to sleep ( we are fine with it ) this will not work for you. Weeping rust and water from the room above - continuous on the shower wall. Smoking - not as bad as last time, but this resort is heavily marketed to Europeans, so second hand smoke is inevitable, even in beach sections marked no smoking. Check the wind direction before selecting your beach or bar chairs. The Buffet - this has increased in quality and variety, and you would be happy there every meal. Again great staff, and chef presence watching. Based on observation I assess there is an Italian Pasta chef and sous chefs working and teaching local staff, and name brand imported pasta was used. We ate more pasta and pizza than usual as a result. Restaurants - we ate at all but the Viva Cafe and they were fine, great staff. Your plates will arrive quickly as you are on a ‘gentle timeline’. We tended to dine early-ish ( more later ) at the tail end of the US/CDN with kids and before the busy civilized dine late Europeans ??. Wine list is pricey, no surprise, but oenophiles go for it. Happy with house red and white for free. We did not wear T shirts in the restaurants but many did, no issue getting in. Scuba Diving - the staff is superb, we dove A LOT, so we never saw a cabaret show ( in bed too early ). Good dive variety, well run, excellent famil dives if you have not been in a while ( mandatory if last dive more than a year ago, but you can do a reef vice the pool if you want !) Airport Transfer - from Punta Cana 140 USD round trip on your check out bill. Good peace of mind. Nice drivers. Tipping - there are no tip jars anywhere, and you could never tip without issue. However, if you do, even slightly,you may see a difference. We are Members, so there is more table service, but for what it is worth, here is what we have settled upon. Breakfast buffet, but served coffees an d water, 2 USD. Lunch buffet, but served several drinks 5 USD, same for Buffet self serve dinner, odd time 10 USD . Restaurant 10 USD - 20 USD for exceptional. Airport driver 20 USD, hotel porter 10 USD ( we have Diving gear :). Odd time for coffee orders 1 USD. Bring lots of small bills, ones and fives. Pharmacy - right outside the resort, open 24 hours.
