This was not at all what I was expecting. Sandy Bay isn’t even the name of the place! None of the locals had heard of this place and the pictures don’t even match! I stayed one night and then checked out and just booked directly with Hilton. The place should be shut down it’s a scam. And the “free” breakfast, you have to walk like 15mins to a small place for it. It’s absolutely terrible. The room didn’t even feel safe! The door wouldn’t close properly and the room I chose said it had a separate sitting area and it didn’t! I plan on reaching out to Expedia about a refund bc I shouldn’t have to pay for a place I didn’t stay at.

Primero que nada ese no es el nombre de el hotel. Las fotos utilizadas de otros hoteles para nada lo que se ve en las fotos. El sink estaba quebrado y todo estaba sumamente sucio. Las personas de la oficina lo más groceras teníamos reservado por 5 noches y solo pudimos dormir una noche dejando el hotel al siguiente día. Ademas de que el desayuno que te dicen q está incluido tienes que caminar fuera de el hotel para obtenerlo. No hay elevador así que te toca subir escaleras sin ayuda de nadie. Porfavor no reserven en este hotel pésimo servicio pésima experiencia

We were never given a confirmed hotel address or clear location details, which made this booking incredibly stressful and completely unacceptable. Despite multiple attempts to find the hotel and contact the provider, there was no reliable information on where the accommodation actually was. Arriving in an unfamiliar area with luggage and no confirmed address is not what anyone expects from a legitimate hotel booking. The lack of communication and basic information suggests serious disorganisation at best, and a scam at worst. A hotel that cannot even provide its own location should not be allowed to take bookings. Avoid unless you enjoy wasting time, money, and patience.

Overall pleasant stay with friendly staff, but room and maintenance need improvement I had an overall pleasant stay at this Punta Cana property, mainly because of the warm and friendly people, but I do want to share some honest feedback so future guests know what to expect and so the property can improve. The photos on Expedia were a bit deceiving for me. Based on the pictures, I was expecting something closer to a Wyndham-style room or even a La Quinta–type setup, which are usually simple but comfortable and well maintained. In reality, the room was much more basic than expected. Here are some of the challenges I encountered during my stay: The room itself was very basic and not as comfortable as I anticipated. The bathroom sink faucet was only half working, with very low water pressure and more of a spray than a proper flow. The shower enclosure was not fully sealed, so water leakage was unavoidable and the bathroom floor was always wet after showering. There were times during the day when there was suddenly no water. Room cleaning was not done daily, which is something I’m more accustomed to in the U.S. and Canada. The cement stairs going down were not swept during the entire week I stayed there, and I noticed debris like cut nails, which could be a safety concern. The Wi-Fi was very slow and unreliable. That said, there were also many positive aspects that made the stay enjoyable: The staff were genuinely happy, positive, and very kind, which made a big differ

If I could rate this place a 0 I would.What they advertise is not what is presented.The rooms are filthy with mold and mildew on the tiles. The water is cold, there is a water heater that “maintenance” had to rig for WARM water. And when the water came out it dripped out.They only gave you one sheet, not a blanket. We had to ask for sheets and towels multiple times. There was no housekeeping, no room service, nothing.They advertise a private beach! It’s all a lie, you have to go down the street into an alley way to get to a beach. Z E R O STARS !

There was no Sandy Bay Vacation. We went to within 50 feet in front of this hotel showing our expedia reservation printout but none of the local recignized it. One of the nearby establishment allowed us to connect to their wifi. We whatsapp'ed Sandy Bay Vacation and was told they are actually Sol Caribe. We cannot rate this motel. It is in a sprawling, dirty and dusty neighborhood of Los Corales. Our room and probably all of them are old and much needed of maintenance. Our front door can open halfway before it hits the cabinet. The stand up shower was enclaved with black mold around the base. The A/C and the rusty fridge worked. They do not do daily room cleaning. We got one trash bag of new towels over our 4-night stay. Other than that tge security people that manned the front gate were nice. Expedia you need to verify vendors that work with you.

Sandy Bay vacation at playa Los corrales is also Sol caribe in Expedia. 1. This place is fake, why? This hotel is actually Sol Caribe, not Sandy Bay, they change the name because it only has 2 stars. 2. This place is not a beach front or by the beach as they stated. Is a closed facility, the beach with a 7 minutes walk to a public beach. 3. They advertise luxurious apartastudios. It's in Expedia hotel description first page. The place it's in ruins. 4. They promote pool, and a nice one in pics. The pool is broken, and empty. 5. They never show the back view of the room, but it's TERRIBLE. 6. Was not cheap, over hundred a night it's very expensive to get this delapidated hotel with false advertising. Also, TV didn't work as the hdmi cable was broken. Because there is no phones on the rooms, I had to go to the reception to have a new cable, they told me they will send someone that never came to fix the TV. I only spent 1 night out of 5, I was afraid of moving to the new hotel at night, this neighborhood doesn't look safe on top of everything. They did not refund me, I just made a new reservation.
