Property is well maintained. The room were upgraded. Could not be better. I have traveled to the area for decades and it was my first time at Emotions. I would go back again. One of the best all inclusive paces to stay in Puerto Plata right now.

My solo trip was excellent! Exceeds expectations! My room was clean and had extra water & drinks for me. The food was delicious, so healthy and fresh, drinks were so refreshing. I tried new foods that I’ve never had and I had drinks that were so strong and tasty. The resort was so clean, everyone there was very pleasant and tried teaching me spanish, so grateful for them. I didn’t have to pay for anything extra, and the hotel recommended a taxi driver for me and it worked out perfectly to get there and back from the airport! I felt very safe. Planning my next trip back asap.

It’s pretty boring & there’s not much entertaining. Most of the customer service people had an attitude or were serious. This is more for older people. 4/10 wouldn’t recommend unless you’re really just trying to chill.

We arrived at 3:15 for checkin and our room was finally ready at 4:30. The room service (cleaning) was really good. The room was a decent size, however, there were several things broken in the bathroom (shower light, no toilet paper holder, shower doors wouldn't shut, shower head didn't work). We requested maintenance through the APP and never got a response. When mentioned to the guy in blue shirt who is selling timeshares, he told us "stuff breaks"! Speaking of the guys in the dark blue shirts, if you're offered something FREE at the resort, remember there is always a catch, in this case, lets try and sell a timeshare. The food was good, not great. My husband got food poisoning from the fish that is grilled per order in the buffet. He was very sick for 2 days. We stayed away from any food sat near the grill that needed to be cooked per order. The drinks are all full of sugar, except the beer. Even the juices were just sugar drinks, not actual juice. If you want shade, you need to go to the beach (which was great). There were only about 5 umbrellas all together at the pools. There was very limited reservation times to the restaurants. Overall, I would not recommend this property for a vacation to anyone. Look elsewhere.
