Pantai Los Corales

Amazing

Expedia did a great job with our package travel (flight, hotel, transport). We stayed on the adult/club side of the Finest hotel. There is a mildew smell to the hotel initially but I have found this to be the case at many resorts. They do an excellent job of maintaining the property. Our room was amazing. The staff are hit or miss as far as friendliness. The club, check-in, bellmen, and host/hostesses are mostly friendly. Carlos at the restaurants was the nicest and so kind. The food was subpar most time with a few good dishes. Room service breakfast was the best. It would be nice to have authentic Dominican food done well than having American/International dishes done poorly. It seemed like they watched how to make the dishes but don’t know how it should taste. The sheets on our bed felt synthetic, closer to plastic than cotton. The ac blew the air over our heads so we were hot until at night until we figured out we should only sleep under sheet. The bed was uncomfortable. Otherwise our room was amazing, great view and amenities. The beach had a lot of seaweed because of the time of year we came but that didn’t negatively impact our stay. We walked over to the family side and the kids club looked amazing. We would not return to this hotel or to DR based on this experience but if we could have the room and amenities in another location with better food we would consider staying with Finest again with our kids.

Overall we had a great time, the food is an all inclusive resort so it is never going to be great but it was good. The hibachi was very good, we did not like the Mexican restaurant and there was a 60 min wait. The worst part was sitting through the vacation package offer, they said it would be 90 min, we wasted almost 3 hours of our day listening to 4 different sales reps. I would never ever do that again. We figured we would listen for the discounted spa and excursion but I would rather pay full price then waste that much time and tell 4 different people we are not interested. I would strongly recommend not sitting through that unless you are actually considering buying something.
