We arrived at 3:15 for checkin and our room was finally ready at 4:30. The room service (cleaning) was really good. The room was a decent size, however, there were several things broken in the bathroom (shower light, no toilet paper holder, shower doors wouldn't shut, shower head didn't work). We requested maintenance through the APP and never got a response. When mentioned to the guy in blue shirt who is selling timeshares, he told us "stuff breaks"! Speaking of the guys in the dark blue shirts, if you're offered something FREE at the resort, remember there is always a catch, in this case, lets try and sell a timeshare. The food was good, not great. My husband got food poisoning from the fish that is grilled per order in the buffet. He was very sick for 2 days. We stayed away from any food sat near the grill that needed to be cooked per order. The drinks are all full of sugar, except the beer. Even the juices were just sugar drinks, not actual juice. If you want shade, you need to go to the beach (which was great). There were only about 5 umbrellas all together at the pools. There was very limited reservation times to the restaurants. Overall, I would not recommend this property for a vacation to anyone. Look elsewhere.

There were some bug issues in the rooms but that’s understandable in that weather climate. There were also some repairs that needed to be made for instance a broken staircase that they simply put a tarp over. Then in the arcade some of the ceiling was falling down so we didn’t even let my nieces go in there. It smelled like mold in there too. You had to make a reservation for the restaurants and often times they would say the restaurant was closed. You also could not take any food from the buffet to your room. That was frustrating because sometimes you wanted to have a bit to eat during the closed hours of the buffet. Lastly, the staff would hound you to do the VIP tour to upgrade your stay. Very annoying. We made the most of it and had fun and there were some staff that were amazing like Genisis at the beach snack bar. We have been to the DR three times and would not return to Emotions.
