Reviewed Aug 23, 2026La ubicació, Punta Rucia ens ha sorprès gratament: lluny de ser la típica platja paradisíaca de postal, és preciosa, autèntica i molt tranquil·la. El servei de l'hotel, excel·lent, tant el senyor que hi havia a recepció, com el noi que l'ajudava. Ens han cuidat i recomanat molt bé. La sortida a Cayo Arena va ser increïble, sense paraules, i molt millor de preu que lligada a qualsevol agència o web. També ens va agradar la piscina.
L'hotel està vell, brut i destartalat. Té molt de potencial, perquè l'entorn és preciós i hi ha pocs hotels a la zona, però necessita una forta inversió econòmica.

Reviewed Sep 15, 2025Ubicación justo en una playa pardisíaca. Actitud amistosa y colaborativa, tanto del personal del hotelcomo de la comunidad. La playa de Punta Rucia,debe ser una de las mejores de la República Dominicana: Limpia, nada de olas, profundidadrazonable, arena (dentro del agua y fuera de ella) blanca y compacta que facilita caminar confortablemente.
Para un hostal de esta categoría, supera lo esperado. No identifico nada que no me haya gustado.

Reviewed Aug 24, 2025Property was in good condition. It was right at the beach. Pool was awesome. Pool was a reasonable size and overlooks the beach/ocean. Rooms were decent size Restaurant was on premises and had good food. We primarily had breakfast and lunch at the restaurant. The lady you runs it was very friendly and accommodating. The manager at the hotel was very personable. He assisted us with setting up our excursion to Cayo Arena which was awesome. He checked in on us often to see how our stay was going. Parking was also on premises and could easily walk around the little beach neighborhood of Punta Rucia
Although hotel had a parking lot, it was all gravel, it could have been paved. Also a lot of stray dogs hang around the beach by the property. The beach also had sargassum that comes onto the beach, primarily in the afternoon. In one of the rooms I booked, the TV/cable did not work, however I forgot to inform management of issue. Also the showers and faucets should be better cleaned for there was soap scum. The hotel could also provide or sell water/beverages for guests. Although, there is a local convenience store(condor) nearby, it would be more convenient for the guests if the hotel offered beverages especially in hot country.
