Dear naughty friends,
For those who knows (or met us), you know that we were devastated when H3 closed down... We moved to H2, but it was not the same.
Here's my Trip Advisor review:
Since our favorite resort was overbooked and after hearing good, bad and mix reviews, we decided to book last minute and try it out. We went there with an open mind but it turned out not to be necessary! Our dates were overlaping a takeover group, so we had a taste of both.
We flew to and from POP, which is a good 1 1/2 drive to the resort. Next time, we'll try to go thru Samana, which is only 40 mins drive.
The taxis are nothing like we are used to, they're new, clean and comfy. Our driver Kelvin knew we were anxious to get there and beside pointing out a few landmarks, he didn't linger around!
Check-in took a whole 5 min and we took the quick tour.
Our 1 bed villa was great, the bed was a bit hard, but they would have change it if we would have ask. There's wif-fi almost everywhere on the resort, spotty at time but nothing that stopped us from keeping in touch with the office.
The grounds are so well maintained (walked bare feet everywhere), the pools are all clean, both hot tubs are clean and were at the right temp.
We never fought for a chair or beach towels. The cabanas are just wonderful! they change the sheets every morning. It would be fun to have a few of thaose up the hill, closer to the disco..
Club Collette is as described, high-end-posh setting, was a blast!
The staff is wonderful, they really do their best to cater to every guest. Miss Patricia is running a thight ship.
The food.. We never ate so much on vacation! There's 2 restaurants on the resort. One for the breakfast and dinner, the Tikki bar for lunch and late snacks. We loved that it is not a buffet style resort.The portions were not huge, but if you want more just ask and they will promptly bring you more. All our meals were delicious.
As for the crowd. The ''regulars'' at the resort are mostly in their late 50's -60's.
We were part into a takeover week, so as the group was arriving, things started to happend. It was fun to feel the younger energy. We met a lot of wonderful couples!
No need to join a group, if you travel there with a few friends, you'll have the time of your life.
Overall, we're ready to go back (with friends) in a heartbeat!
Now, for the lifestyle ppl. Yes we participated in PDAs all day long, before the takeover and oblivioulsy during. The crowd that came with the Sexy Bare Bottoms was younger (30-40-50 max) professional and educated. It reminded us alot of the good weeks at H3. The entertaiment team is non existant, so don't rely on them to get anything going. With extensive training from both Hedo we did that ourselves!! Don't be shy to book with a few ''good'' (wink wink) friends, as it takes only 1 couple to get the party starting!
Club Collette is 100% swingers oriented. beside the great layout, the 2 voyeur room, orgie room, and private spots, it's definetely THE place to end the day on a good note!
With time and the right ppl booking there, this place will be quite something!
Cheers!
Y & V
