Great review short and simple.im playing a trip their in may . I've searched and search resorts and finally found emotions which really caught my eye so I'll be stay their. The tips at the end was informative. I'll definitely stop at the liquor store 😂
Hey man, great video. I was actually looking at resorts to take my wife and kid for a weekend and based on the reviews I'm thinking this is it. Exactly how long ago was this?? (I'm thinking about goin within the next week or so) and also would u recommend it for a family?? (I have a 1 yr old) thanks in advance.
Hey Alex, thanks for watching. I recorded this in February this year. I absolutely recommend this for families. When I was there there were plenty of families. Hopefully they’re 100% operational. I hope you have a great time.
Hi there!, question for you, I will be staying in the same resort , landing on STI, would you recommend renting a car at STI? or is it best getting a private transportation company to take you to puerto plata? . I am not plannning to do anything else in the island, except for the beach.
Thank you for your question. That depends on a number of factors….how comfortable are you driving in DR? Budget? It’s always better and more flexible to have your own ride but if you’re staying in Puerto Plata only, then go for public transportation like Caribe Tours, or a private driver.
Hi Joe and thanks for watching. Yes, the hotel is very accessible for wheelchairs. All facilities are accessible and the buildings where the rooms are at have elevators. Enjoy.
@@TheSoloTraveler I believe that you misunderstood my question, I am on a wheelchair and need to know if any of the pools have walk in steps to get into that pool
@@joedacosta7095 sorry, I did. I did not notice steps to get into the pool. However, the biggest pool has these stone beach chairs inside them. Very shallow. But I don’t remember seeing steps.
I have travelled to many resorts in the Caribbean over the years and find most places do " water " their alcohol down....this, as I understand is more of a safety measure than one to increase profits. People are stupid on vacation....and consume way to many drinks in a day, can you imagine the amount of accidents, slips and falls, aggressive behaviours that would happen if full strength alcohol was being served? Enjoy the vacay and just remember the drinks are free !
Great point but I have to disagree on safety being the reason for watering down drinks. Why? Because you can bring your own booze. Not only that, resorts also have liquor stores, which could be a big reason for watering down drinks. This is specially true for resorts that are isolated. So, I don’t think it’s about safety.
Thank you for your question and for watching. Back then most of the restaurants were closed (only 2 open out of many), tours not operating, water park closed, nightclub closed and activities suspended. Basically all you could do was wake up, go eat, go to the pool/beach then go eat again then drink a lot of watered down beers.
Hi there, Thanks for the detailed review and the great tips. I appreciate it, since I'll be visiting this resrort soon.
Really great honest comments in your videos, love the authenticity.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I appreciate it! Thank you
Awesome review. I especially appreciate your discussion of the gym/sauna.
Thanks for your review!!
Certainly

Thanks for your support and have fun. It should be more relaxing and less restrictive now since I shot this video.
Thank you for being honest! Great share.

Excellent video, can you tell me if this hotel is wheelchair friendly and accessibly, thanks

Sorry to bother you with my questions but I need to know if there's steps going into any of the pools on the select side
No worries Joe and thanks for your question. As far as I observed, there are no steps to follow. Just hop in.

Where should I exchange money than?
Exchange houses in town or use ATM as they offer better conversion rate.
What were the limitations due the covid?

Can you tell me if this resort is non smoking. Thanks
It has designated areas for smoking.
