Hispaniola Ski Vacations

The resort, rooms, buildings, and pool areas are beautiful. The wifi is limited and spotty unless you are in the main lobby area. Buffet food gets boring quick, rarely freshly cooked, potatoes and many vegetables are never cooked through, meats are tough and grisly. Specialty Restaurants are nearly impossible to get reservations at, And the restaurants seem to just use the food from the buffets with new sauces. It may be all inclusive but they never stop the upselling...bottles of wine, top shelf liquors, ugraded wifi, platinum services, timeshare offerings. And the wandering sales folks are not limited to just the beach, on the resort you're constantly stalked and asked to sign up for excursions and spa services, balinese beds by the pool. The local vendors are persistent on artisan day but they are friendly. THERE WERE A LOT OF YOUNG CHILDREN (3MO-4YO) CRYING, SCREAMING, MISBEHAVING, AND PARENTS WHO COULDN'T/ WOULDN'T/DIDN'T CONTROL THEM EVERYWHERE WE WENT. I'd like to see some adults only areas and pools for non platinum visitors. There is a family area and pool, keep the youngsters in that area, they shouldnt be hanging out at the pool bar with the drunks and couples getting romantic. House keeping, landscapers, bellboys phenomenal! Waitstaff, cooks, bartenders, and security could learn to be more attentive and to anticipate needs of guests. Not once were we ever asked "can I help you?"
