And then there's the Rock Spa, a 68,000-square-foot, bi-level facility.
This 121-acre property has one of the Caribbean’s largest casinos. Overall food is better than most area AIs, and a new Kids' Program appeals to the family market. Because of the resort's sprawl, you have to be shuttled from the beach or to the lobby, and transportation waits can be long. The oversized rooms and suites are deluxe, but you need to decide if you’d prefer to be where the action is-closer to reception, restaurants, and the casino-or closer to the beach. Hard Rock's first all-inclusive property has its own unique identity, different from any other Dominican resort, and it's a great choice if you want nightlife and a busy, fun atmosphere.
