Today we are at Emotions Puerto Plata checking out the food,

so you can decide if it's worth booking.
Thank you.
We got a welcome drink as soon as we pulled up
then walked straight through the lobby to the pool.
They've got
a 1955 Buick Special
on display right by the pool.
At the Milwaukee Beer House,
you can shoot some pool or play some foosball.
Local draft is included, but some beers cost extra.
The Presidente and the Corona, it's an extra charge, right?
Yes.
What's the cost for the Presidente?
The Presidente is $3.
$3?
Yes.
And the Corona?
The Corona is $4.
$4?
Yeah.
But for me, the different one is the Presidente.
You like the Presidente?
Yeah, because it's a strong beer.
Perfect.
Sorry.
I didn't expect to find a giant chess board on my way to the rooms
but of course I had to make a move. Once you pass the pools,
you start to see how the resort is laid out.
The rooms are spread across smaller
buildings with garden paths between them. You can
spot the building numbers right along the walkway.
Now let me show you what the room actually looked like.
You can get straight into the swim out pool from the patio.
Back inside, the bathroom has plenty of counter space
and a walk-in shower with a window,
which I love for the natural light.
Across from the bed there's a TV, a coffee setup, a mini fridge
with water, soda and presidente.
The closet has a robe, an ironing board and a safe.
If you like working out on vacation,
there's a gym with cardio machines and free weights.
I also got a look inside the spa.
Here's one of the massage rooms and they have a sauna too.
Awesome. How are you doing today?
I feel good. It's a beautiful day here today.
I need to come to the spa to relax.
Yeah, very relaxing and the smell is relaxing.
So nice smell, so good.
Have a good day.
Thank you, you too.
Bye.
If you're traveling with kids, there's a kids club.
There are also a few hammocks out on the lawn.
And staff use these golf carts to take guests
and their bags to their rooms.
Right by the beach, there's a little gelato stand.
Chocolate? Which one is your favorite?
Okay, let me try the passion fruit then.
I want our favorite, thank you.
Thank you.
Oh nice nice so fruity.
Down at the beach the loungers are set up near the palm trees
so you've got some shade if you want.
Once you get down to the water you can see how wide this
part of Playa Dorada is.
Looking back from the shoreline you can see it's a short walk across
the sand from the chairs
and a little further along there's a volleyball net right on the beach.
Right off the beach,
there's an open-air spot where you can grab a bite.
Some of the tables face the water,
so you can still get the ocean view while you eat.
There's a drinks counter here too, with juices and frozen drinks.
There were some bite-sized dessert and a salad bar,
then more of your usual beach snacks like pizza,
chicken, fries, nachos, burgers, and hot dogs.
The resort also have a bike zipline.
You climb the stairs to the platform then pedal a bike along
the cable above the resort grounds
and from up top you can see all the way to Playa Dorado.
For dining, there's a few options.
Aroma, Argana for Dominican fusion, and Lolita, the Mexican
restaurant. Here's what Lolita looks like inside.
They've got booths along the wall and a bigger
table in the middle. If you're traveling with a group,
the room is pretty colorful. From the
orange plates and the blue chairs to the patterned booths.
And as you get closer to the wall,
you can see the details in the artwork with flowers
and a painted sugar skull.
