Be Live Collection Canoa

Points positifs : friendly staff. main buffet food was good (except the fruit). I would recommend the hotel if it were cleaner and drinks were better.

Points négatifs : I booked an all inclusive deluxe room with pool view...there was no view! ROOM was dirty overall:curtains had mildew on it, decorative pillows were also smelly, decorative ottoman was very nasty. The inclusive drinks were HORRID! I had to drink beer.

The food, while not unpleasant, was not as good as other nearby resorts of similar price. The limited menu and lack of dining options (many restaurants were closed during the week) made our dining experience lackluster. Wait-staff tended to focus on larger groups or those who were obviously European, making wait times quite long for basic beverages like water and soft drinks - we usually ended up getting our own drinks. Breakfast juices were on the warm side, and sodas often flat. The nightly shows were not very good, but the after party near the central bar was very lively. In general, the bar staff was pleasant as were the room maids. This was our first trip to a Be Live resort and we will not be returning to this particular resort. There are other nearby resorts we have visited that were markedly better and similarly priced such as the Wyndham Dominicus properties also in Bayahibe.

Points positifs : We enjoyed the public spaces best, particularly the pool and the central bar.

Points négatifs : We paid for a room upgrade and were thoroughly disappointed. Our room actually seemed smaller and with less amenities than the room a couple traveling with us had who did not purchase the upgrade. Room also had mold, standing rain water, and a bad smell.
