We had a wonderful stay at Emotions by Hodelpa Puerto Plata. The resort is beautiful, the rooms were clean, and the whole atmosphere felt very welcoming. We especially enjoyed the Italian and Mexican restaurants — both were delicious and had great service. One of the highlights for our family was how kid-friendly the resort is. Our children loved playing football and tennis, spending time at the kids club, and enjoying the beautiful beach. It made the whole trip so easy and relaxing for us. A very special thank you to Rosa from Guest Services. She helped us so much with everything we needed and truly went above and beyond. If you ever need anything, just talk to Guest Services — they were extremely friendly, much more than in many other hotels we’ve experienced. Rosa made our stay even more enjoyable, and we are very grateful for her kindness. Highly recommend this hotel for families and anyone who wants a peaceful, friendly, and enjoyable vacation.

3 time staying at this resort and I enjoy it every time. The only annoying thing is they only had diet and zero sugar Pepsi. I suggest they have Coke on hand for people that cannot drink diet soda. The friendly staff and guest services got me reg Coke when I requested it. See you again!

After reading both positive and less stellar reviews, we were pleasantly surprised. Dinner at the Italian and mexican restaurants were excellent. Staff were, for the most part, excellent. For the price, we found it to be a good value. Our concierge who took care of arrangements on-site fornus was excellent. Only negative was the drink choices included in the package. Overall a 9/10.
