Me gustó mucho su ubicación y el trato del personal que fue muy familiar. Justo lo que esperas de un sitio así .

Eine traumhafte Lage und ein famoser Blick direkt aufs Meer. Schöne Räume und die Duschen im Freien sind top.
Excelente
Las vistas desde el apartamento. La ubicación. El desayuno en la playa muy rico.
Accueil chaleureux, ambiance roots mais très confortable , totalement dépaysant. Petit dej sur la plage, douche à l extérieur. Une robinsonnade qu' il faut préserver .
Une super maison devant la plage appartement typique et spacieux, tout en bois. Les salles de bains exterieures Le petit petit déjeuner sur la plage Et l excursion magique au cayo arena
Le bruit en fin de journee venant des bateaux de touristes, des jetskis et des motos qui passent Mais la nuit et le matin tout est calme
Direkt am sehr gepflegten Sandstrand gelegen. Der Ort ist noch sehr ursprünglich und man ist dem Karibik-Feeling, wie man es sich so vorstellt, schnell erlegen. Das Frühstück mit frischem Croissant und hausgemachter Marmelade wurde direkt am Strand serviert - besser kann der Tag nicht beginnen.
Der Nachbar-Strand "Playa Ensenada", der sehr gerühmt wurde, ist dreckig, vermüllt und zudem überteuert.
Struttura molto carina , comoda e confortevole dotata di tutti i servizi ( doccia con anche acqua calda / climatizzatore /wifi etcc..) lettini -kajak -padleboard tutto incluso ,la mattina un abbondante colazione sulla spiaggia con una vista bellissima, si possono fare escursioni nei dintorni con la barca per visitare delle isole vicine, ci sono anche ristoranti tipici nelle immediate vicinanze , Janin che è la direttrice della struttura una persona squisita molto gentile ed attenta alla clientela , sempre disponibile ad assecondare ogni vostro desiderio, per una vacanza super rilassante in un posto paradisiaco e super consigliato, acqua cristallina e spiaggia tipica caraibica con sabbia bianca . Arrivederci a presto !!!
Il mare davanti alla struttura era un sogno. Bellissimo posto, tranquillo. Ho adorato tanto il mio soggiorno. Poi la gentilezza della famiglia incaricata della struttura. Ci tornero SICURO🥰
Non e piaciuto non potter rimare piu tempo.🥲 se magari piu avvanti accetasero le carte.. sarebbe top!
L'accueil très sympatique de Janine, la situation en face de la mer, les lits. Très bon petits dejeuners et très bons repas.
Everything from top to bottom is what we hoped for. The reviews were as accurate as you can get. We booked this many months in advance and had the main house. Parking was gated, safe, and secure. The property owner and husband are great. The breakfast was simple and super delicious. No regrets here. Oh and the waves at night while sleeping were the best.
Nothing we didn't like.
La spiaggia
Appartamento un po spartano
Pesimo servicio , hice la reservación y ya faltando 20 minutos que llegara al lugar, me escribe la dueña que disculpe que otras personas ya estan en la habitación, que supuestamente existio un error en la aplicación, a mi me llego hasta confirnación de la reserva, eso me causo un perjuicio porque literalmente me obligue a buscar a última hora otro hotel venia con mi mamá que es tercera edad y ponerla en ese ajedreo es totalmente una falta de respeto, podra tener buenos comentarios, pero asi como sancionan a los usuarios cuando cancelan una reserva, lo mismo debería ser para el hotel, porque no tubierón respeto por la reserva, la dueña con decirme que ella no estaba en el hotel y que tenía que ir a dar de comer a sua hijos y un poco de justificativos que no me sirven, primera vez que me pasa esto.
la falta de seriedad y respeto por la reserva, podra decir otras personas naravillas, pero yo de forma personal se que desde el inicio hay que tener cuidado, porque la seriedad y el respeto hacía el usuario es primero .
Ecolodge idéalement situé face à la plage. Le petit déjeuner est excellent, avec notamment une délicieuse confiture maison (gingembre, ananas et chinola). On apprécie le sens du détail et la propreté de l’hébergement. Le rapport qualité / prix est très bon. Un vrai plus : la proximité avec Punta Rucia et Cayo Arena nous a permis d’arriver les premiers sur le petit atoll — une expérience incroyable. Merci à Janine et Janel pour leur accueil chaleureux.
El apartamento super amplio, muy bien iluminado y con todo lo necesario para pasar unos días. Nada más llegar la atención fue estupenda, todo el personal te hace sentir como en casa. Destacar el desayuno, fantástico en la misma playa ...huevos, café, pan, fruta, croissant y una rica miel elaborada por ellos en el lugar. Gracias por una estancia muy agradable.
Como punto negativo, pero sin nada que ver con el alojamiento diría que hay bastante ruido para dormir. En los alrededores hay bares con música y por la carretera pasan muchas motos ruidosas.
La habitación es muy espaciosa, de hecho son 2 habitaciones con cama doble y sala con dos sofas. Todo limoio y lo mejor de todo... El desayuno... Im-presionante...!!!
Nada
Magnifique accueil par Janine. Chambre fonctionnelle, propre, moustiquaire et très bon matelas. Le must du must est le petit déjeuner: baguette croustillante et succulents croissants!!!
L’escalier pour accéder à la chambre est abrupte. Comme dans beaucoup de villages en République dominicaine, pas besoin de réveil; les coqs et les chiens s’en chargent 🤣😜
Le cadre La gentillesse et l'hospitalité du personnel Jeannine est une professionnelle au petit soin et très agréable. Le petit dej sur la plage L'ecolodge magnifique face à l'océan.. Tout est idyllique :)
Todo fue fantástico. Los anfitriones, el lugar, el alojamiento (muy peculiar y muy agradable, prácticamente en la misma playa), las atenciones, la ayuda para resolver necesidades que surgen... El desayuno en la playa (vaya mermelada y vaya miel, caseras las dos). Vale la pena el tour a Cayo Arena y los manglares. Todo fenomenal.
Realmente no hubo nada que no nos gustara.
A localização perfeita e equipe fenomenal.
Estavam reformando a rua em frente da hospedagem , o que obviamente foge do controle da equipe , que mesmo assim fez de tudo para que tivéssemos o maior conforto possível. Super recomendo.
We loved this place! Location. Is great, Janine the host is amazing, we had everything we need in the room and the outdoor shower was awesome. Also loved breakfast on the beach
Only thing missing for us is air conditioning in the bedroom
*Location location! Open the windows and the sea is in the room! *The staff is amazing *The apartment is an original traditional beach house *Very good breakfast *Outside but private shower!! *Walking distance from everything (restaurants etc)
Nothing I didn't like, but people coming here need to be aware that punta rucia doesn't offer anything to do beside the amazing beach and the excursions, few restaurants and a colmado. It was exactly what we were looking for!
Location! Location! Location… and Janine!! In front of the beach, in a small village. Not touristic at all. The room is on the first floor with a full view on a beautiful and secluded sandy beach, from the 6 windows. It is huge and nicely furnished. We also loved that the bathroom was outside and that we could take our breakfast and dinner directly on the beach. As if the whole beach was ours. And there is… Janine who brings the whole stay to the next level. She is lovely, always with a smile, will gladly book your trip to Cayo arena (a must!) and, if you ask her, she will tell you all about the local life (which she knows for sure, she has been here for more than 8 years and has been managing Tropic ecolodge and Villa Rosa for 5 years!). We learnt so much. And she prepares amazing cocktails too! As for the dinner, we had very tasty fish, lambis, prepared by the small restaurant next door and brought directly to our table on the beach (to be paid directly to the restaurant). Overall a small hidden paradise and you almost feel you are part of the local life too. Stay at least two nights… or more.
It can be a bit noisy at night because you are in the village and there is life, but it’s also part of the overall experience, isn’t it?
The property was rustic and well matched the vibe and feel of Punta Rucia. Our room overlooked the water (stunning view), with unique outside bath and shower attached to our room. We found it perfect and could not imagine a better choice for the casual traveler. Breakfast was included in the room date and served on the beach. What a way to start our day. We opted to also eat dinner there and it was fantastic. The cook put out an array of delicious meals. I’ll save my best and final comments for the Lodge Manager (Janine). Personable, warm, charming, welcoming and absolutely tireless. She made our stay both memorable and enjoyable. What an asset!
The Property suited our tastes to a tee. Could not have been happier with the experience.
the beach is nearest
not complaint
Fantastic place and the best host in the world. She explained everything around, told numerous stories about way of being there which was super interesting. We had a problem with the car and she organized local people to help us. The place is magical. Super safe and friendly, paradise that you need to see and experience.
