This hotel is fabulous, food is great, rooms are also great, but what makes it for us is the staff. They are so welcoming, friendly and funny, nothing is too much and the blue team especially emmanuel are ...fabulous. They made our trip. We will be back!

Sleep are amazing and the food options are incredible. There are so many places to eat and enjoy your time at ocean el faro. The breakfast this morning was great. The shows were great with all the fun time...s. The adventures at ocean el faro will be the best thing ever and will continue to be great.

Great service at every bar and in every building. Breakfast at the buffet was delicious. Clean rooms, very nice maids and staff. Very fun events throughout the week and kind entertainment staff, fun games ...and had a blast doing Arobics with Wilton instructing the class.

Right! Let’s start with the good things. The hotel is wonderful. The reception is looks like something out of Agatha Christie film…very 1940s and the bar in the reception is beautiful. Our room, which wa...s on the family side, was gorgeous. It was just myself and my husband but we didn’t feel like we were in the middle of lots of families …it still felt quiet and calm. The pools and lazy river are fabulous. And the restaurants and food are delicious. Ok …so the not so good things: We went with TUI and when we booked we were not informed that the American dollar is the preferred currency and that the Dominican Republic was very much Americanised when it came to tipping. We are old hats to all inclusive and we have never had to tip the staff so it was a bit of shock when we were expected to. So my advice would be bring a lot of dollars, $1 & $5 because you’re gonna need them. It will go from a 4* holiday (which isn’t bad) to a 5* holiday. The other thing is that they try to persuade you to upgrade to their privilege package which can be a little annoying. We also booked a couple of excursions through TUI. The first one was a day trip to Saona Island and it was the more private, less people option. It was ok…was it worth $300 …probably not. We also went to Monkeyland. The first 90 mins of your trip is about coconuts, cocoa and coffee beans….they don’t tell you this when you book. You think you’re going to be with the monkeys throughout the morning/afternoon. You’re not….so be prepared. However it is a great experience once you get to be with squirrel monkeys. And if you have a mobility problem this could be a bit of nightmare. The slopes were an awful for my husband who has a severely damaged ankle. I’m telling you about the excursions because the hotel offer these as well. Over all it was great holiday….very relaxing but I wish we were better informed and prepared.
