So let me say firsthand that I am not a snobby traveler as I have slept in a rental car before. That was a better experience! Since our flight was overbooked the day of our departure we needed accomodations for just one more night in the DR. So I booked this thru Hotwire for one night, thinking "Great! We get... more

This hotel trades under Tropical Clubs Bavaro (which includes a total of 3 hotels, Alisios is the lowest standard of all). There are 3 restuarants which you can eat in (they have wrist bands of different colours, and we found out the blue colour is the cheapest rate and only allows you to eat at one restuarant. The red band... more

It’s funny that people choose one of the cheapest offer of Dominicana vacations and then expect red carpets and gold handles in the hotel. It’s even more irritated that in their opinions only negative things are pointed out. I spent a lovely week in this hotel between March and April 2008 and I’m going to give my own comments about... more

I have to admit I was getting scared to go there after I've read all the negative comments on this site, but to my surprise, I've had a nice vacation. The room was OK, the food not to bad and the people that work there where very nice. The beach is very nice. Althought you have to be aware that... more

Booked with itravel2000 for me and my 3 girlfriends during Spring Break (no choice, one of us is a teacher). Paid $1,134 CDN each for 1week. In my opinion, this is way too much for what you get. I'd pay 700 bucks tops to stay at this hotel. Thank goodness I'd read the reviews on TripAdvisor and so I knew... more

I have seen war, pestilence, death, plagues and human suffering... and that was just at reception. Please do NOT stay at this resort which promises it is "beachfront" but which is actually (for all but a few rooms) several alleyways away from the beach which was fenced- up and littered. The room we were put in was filthy, dark and... more

We booked this resort blind through hotwire. It was kind of scary reading the reviews after we discovered which vacation we had "won." If that is how others have reached this review, all is not lost. My GF and I still had a great vacation that was pretty damn cheap. Essentially, don't expect the barcelo, or one of those new... more

This hotel is perfect ONLY if you're on a budget and would like to travel to the Punta Cana area. Before going on this trip, I did a lot of research and found that most all-inclusives in this area are $225 USD a night and up. Alisios is in the $100 USD range (per night). All I have to say... more

The shower/sink water was smelly and cold. The rooms surround noisy public areas and are loud 18 hours each day. The rooms are poorly lit and the food was not good. The beach was nice. more
