What it does best

Modern adults-only design.
Strong pool inventory and swim-up category appeal.
24-hour room service is officially advertised.

Where it costs you

Food and service reports are more mixed than the design.
Uvero Alto beach can be wavier than Bavaro or Cap Cana beaches.
Not a nightlife-first resort.
