Cofresi Palm Beach & Spa Resort All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"The moment I arrived I fell in love with cofresi palm beach. All the staff are so nice and friendly. The rooms are beautiful and so spacious. I have no complaints! If you want WiFi access 24/7 it’s by the beach beds. Personally I didn’t care to have WiFi I came to enjoy my vacation and disconnect myself from the world and social media. I enjoyed my 4 days and 3 nights with my kids. Leaving was such a bittersweet moment but I’ll for sure be back again! Este resort le da 100 mil pata a playa bachata pa Que lo sepan."
