Cofresi Palm Beach & Spa Resort All Inclusive
Well I was a little disappointed because the bar didn’t have much choices. The staff was very friendly overall. The room was nice but wasn’t as clean as expected.

For the area, I would give this place an eight out of 10. Typical Dominican resort with good amenities. Nightly entertainment was fun.
