Amanera arvostelua

Pros: -Absolutely stunning location! Exceeded/met our expectations based on photos and videos we watched prior! The beach was clean (no seaweed/very pretty!), water was pristine, common grounds were clean (with the exception of their beach club which was run down and needed some updates) restaurant/common area/pool/gym…all very clean and very nice! There were no vendors harassing you even though all beaches in DR are public. They had security so that helped:-) The room itself-incredible! - It was so spacious with a living area that had sliding doors you could close off if you wanted 2 separate sleeping areas (ie bring kids) but no tv in the living room so if you did have kids there’s no tv in there, just FYI. -The closet was a walk-in with his/her spaces with tons of room. -They provided us with a cute sun hat and ball cap as well as flip flops to keep in our closet upon arrival. -The bathroom had his/her sinks and a vanity in the middle, again very spacious! The toilet had a semi-opaque door so not totally private if some people might be weird about that. But there’s another 2 doors to enter the bathroom so you could still have privacy. Shower&Tub…and an outdoor shower by the pool as well. -the TV was retractable and allowed for a full view at the foot of the bed of the pool and ocean! -they had automatic room darkening shades which really were room darkening! -there was a mini fridge and Nespresso machine with complimentary: Nespresso pods, water, sparkling water, beer, milk, Coca Cola, and chocolate bars. There were 2 bottles of wine there but for an added cost. -there were 2 AC units and we were very comfortable temperature wise. -Private pool was VERY private! -there’s was a TON of outdoor space. We absolutely loved this! They had just as much sun space as they did shaded so we were both comfortable and could take a break from the sun any time of the day! Seriously-I could not have picked a better room accommodation. It was amazing! -Cons- The ONLY room con would be the bed wasn’t very comfortable. We even packed a foam mattress cover (based on reviews) and our personal pillows and it just wasn’t very comfortable. -Recommendations- -bring your own pillow -bring snacks…there’s no snacks to purchase there and nothing provided in the room for just snacking on besides chocolate bars and some fruit. -bring a pool float and they’ll blow it up for you -bring a milk frother if you don’t like straight up espresso as your morning drink. (Or bring a small travel size Kerug and your own pods for regular coffee) -we used bottled water for our teeth brushing but they said the water was filtered. I didn’t want to risk it:-) The gym: -there were 2 treadmills, 4 bikes, one elliptical, and one Rower. There were plenty of hand weights, foam rollers, and weighted balls, as well as one cable machine. It was clean and very empty every day. The Spa: -The Amanera spa was off site located on the DLC Playa Grande Golf and Ocean Club property. There
