Anybody else Trip Advisor obsessed? And Samana Dominican?

I read the negative reviews more than the good reviews. If what the reviewer is complaining about is something that wouldn’t bother us, I ignore it. I also tend to look only at places with at least 4 stars.

Have a great time!

I have been on Trip Advisor a lot lately. We are going on a winter vacation with some friends of ours and were trying to find an all inclusive that works for all of us. You’ll read four reviews where people rave about the food and then the fifth will say it sucked. We booked a place in Puerto Vallarta and went with one that consistently got rave reviews for the beach and property and mostly positive reviews on the food. We weren’t sure where we should go at first, but we’re all fans of the show Acapulco on Appletv. They film right outside of Puerto Vallarta and it is beautiful. So we checked it out and it turns out that there are multiple direct flights from Minneapolis to Puerto Vallarta during the winter and we all thought it seemed like a good deal. Had we not had the Acapulco tv show influence we’d probably still be trying to figure out where to go. We are not staying at the resort where they filmed, but we’re close to it. Had we stayed there we would have all wanted to just hang out in the laundry room with Memo.

It's good to be close to the airport, especially for the return trip.  If the flight is delayed, you get to stay at the resort a bit longer as the drive is short.

This looks like a beautiful property.  Enjoy!

Some people specialize in complaining, even when things are great to everyone else around them.

ETA: We're going to Club Med Miches next month on our delayed honeymoon (there was no way we were up to planning one more thing last November!). Its our first visit to the DR.
