i echo and agree with luv's sentiments
cmon peeps...you arent heading to the chateau laurier or the banff springs hotel here. ive never been to the dr (cuba all the way) but have been at everything from a 3 to a four and a half star...there are problems everywhere. As someone said...the place was closed down for 5-6 months...im sure if i didnt flush my toilets in that length of time (ew) theyd back up too. Skitters that bite you there are not on holidays...they live there, and the resort does not charge them to be on the resorts (maybe they should charge them a sqatters rate and build another pool for the adults there with children...hahaha) If the food at the buffet was covered all the time to keep the flys out...a-it would get sticky and gross, b-some people would uncover it to fill up there plates and not bother to cover it again.
People who say or have already made the decision to change resorts based on a few bad reviews...hey....sorry to see you go....but if you are going on vacation to find something to complain about while im going for r+r and fun that i can can create without animation staff to hold my hand....best of luck and more meat at the buffet pour moi.
This is a family oriented resort with an adults-only section that has its own pool. whoopty do...lada dee da. From what i have read....all you get is a different color bracelet and vip status. well, the skitos are gonna bite your a** too, dispite how much you paid and we all will get the same toilet paper.
if you didnt want to be around other people's younguns...why diod you book here in the first place when there are many adults only resorts to choose from?!?
so, the reception staff is cranky. would you not be too if you were barraged by peeps with unrealistic expectations for a new resort?...maybe they did open to early, maybe they did over book....but (pardon the recurring theme here) but you do attract more flies with honey then you do with coconuts.
The staff....well...its anything like it was in cuba...the staff are likely there 10-12 hrs a day, on there feet, trying to make everyone happy and obviously not doing a good job of it but the sounds of some of these negative reviews. wow, folks, we are all grownups here, stop being so dang picky about everything. You are on vacation!...drink, eat, drink some more, go to the bathroom a few times and repeat the cycle.
I with my hubby, and daughters leave on the 11th for vacation, not a head hunting mission. If i get a chance to meet up with peeps from the forum, great, we can swap notes there. Hope to meet Planner with a can of timmy ho's and a bit of chocolate (if it makes it of the plane) When i get back, you will get a review with the good and the bad and i will post pics.
until then, cheers to you all...and go SENS go...(4-1...woohoo!)

Negative reviews
I appreciate everyone's point of view, but the place can't be ALL bad. Still counting the days with an open mind! I have NEVER been on a vacation where there wern't some problems. People, lets remember that we are going to a developing country!!
