Over the past few years, we've vacationed in Punta Cana, CapCana, LaRomana, Juan Dolio, Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata. The staff at Emotions were pleasant and helpful However, the hotel itself was older, dated and badly maintained. The Bathroom roofs leaked, air conditioners didn't work and the overall experience suffered
