Tree House Village - Waterfall

This place allowed us to disconnect from the world. It was a unique experience with Mother Nature, offering great peace, plus we enjoyed ziplining. Truly wonderful days.

De locatie is natuurlijk uniek, in de jungle met alleen maar natuur om je heen. Het ligt naast een rivier met een waterval waar je heerlijk kunt zwemmen. Ook het strand is dichtbij. Het is een geweldige ervaring om hier te overnachten. Het eten was ook nog heerlijk, dus wij zijn blij dat we deze treehouses hebben ontdekt.

Onze kamer bestond uit twee gedeelten (het was een familiekamer), waarbij de ventilator van het tweede gedeelte wel draaide, maar geen wind veroorzaakte. Verder mis je een kastje of iets dergelijks om je spullen makkelijk kwijt te kunnen, alhoewel daar ook eigenlijk geen ruimte voor is.

Mitten im Dschungel, bequeme Betten, Dschungelerfahrung

Völlig überteuertes Essen, nur Reis und Bohnen, und auch andere Extras, beworben als vier Sterne Hotel aber es ist ein besseres Camping sehr abgelegen mit schlechter Infrastruktur

Me encantó vivir la experiencia de pasar tres días sin internet, desconectándome por completo de la tecnología y conectándome al 100% con la naturaleza. El lugar es una auténtica maravilla. Las cabañas son muy bonitas, acogedoras y están perfectamente integradas en el entorno. Para quienes buscan una experiencia de desconexión de varios días, es una opción ideal. Por las noches se puede disfrutar de una auténtica orquesta natural formada por los cantos de animales e insectos, lo que hace la experiencia aún más especial. Las cabañas cuentan con mosquiteras y tienen un diseño abierto, protegido con cortinas, lo que permite sentirse muy cerca de la naturaleza sin renunciar a la comodidad. La comida es de excelente calidad, deliciosa y preparada con mucho esmero. Además, todo el personal es extremadamente amable, atento y servicial. Lo recomiendo al 100%.

Me gustó absolutamente todo. Los días que elegimos para la estancia fueron perfectos y la experiencia superó nuestras expectativas.

Rooms Staff Breakfast Location

Diner Bar

La atención de todo el personal, pero sobre todo personas como Maikol y Nancy fue espectacular, nos hicieron sentir como en casa y siempre estuvieron atentos a que estuviéramos a gusto, sobre todo los desayunos de Nancy fueron muy buenos.

Las camas... Literalmente el colchón estaba hundido en el centro, lo que no nos permitió dormir cómodos. Deberían de renovar los colchones.

The staff and food was good

Not enough lighting at night and no hot water to shower in your room. If you want hot water you had to shower in a different location

Stunning property!

Needs wifi please

La ubicación en el bosque,el personal muy atento

Solo las bicicletas le faltan un poco de mantenimiento

Es un lugar increíble ! No deben perdérselo !

El lugar, las cabañas, Aaron es increíble y Auria muy amable! Todo es increíble ! Realmente una experiencia única !

Besonderes Erlebnis. Toller Strand in der Nähe

Die Straße zum Hotel ist sehr abenteuerlich. Sicherer Fahrer und SUV sind hilfreich

The place is amazing, right in the middle of the jungle, disconnected from everything, but still close enough to beaches and Samaná

We had a problem with the toilet (it was just a string, easy to fix), we point it out twice, no one c fixed it. The common hot shower (only cold shower in the cabañas, that's OK, but it is not specify on the website) never worked for the 2 nights we spent there and we pointed it out twice as well. On arrival the toilet looked like it has not been cleaned and toiletries were partially missing. I'm aware those are little details, but for 330 USD per night I expect little details do be included. I'm always very happy to pay high price when it's worth it

Property was beautiful and well kept.

Meals were often served cold, especially the eggs at breakfast.

Das Frühstück war in Ordung!

Uns gefiel nicht, dass dort nur wenige Dominikaner arbeiteten, fast alle sind Ausländer, die kein Spanisch sprechen.

• Staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. The woman who seems to be the owner or manager personally approached guests, introduced herself, and chatted with people. • We were allowed to come with our dog, which we appreciated. There is also a resident Rottweiler on the property who is generally friendly. • Staying in the jungle during rainy days was actually a great experience. We had two rainy days during our trip, and being surrounded by nature felt much nicer than being stuck at a beach in bad weather. • The main lodge is a nice communal space to sit, play board games, and spend time together. • Sleeping with jungle sounds was a memorable experience for our family. • Lots of wildlife around: birds, insects, snails at night, and we even saw a toucan. • There is a small waterfall near the property where guests can swim. • The location is visually beautiful: lush jungle, nice scenery, and tree houses look very attractive from the outside. • There is also a pool on site.

We stayed at Dominican Tree House with family. Overall, the experience did not match the price level (around $300 per night) or the way the property is described. All-inclusive / Food The “all-inclusive” concept is very limited and misleading. Food choice is small and often runs out. Instead of refilling trays, food is cooked while guests wait, which causes long delays. There was only 1 cook at a time at the kitchen. During our stay: • Dinner on day one was delayed by 1 hour • apéritif’s were delayed by ~30 minutes • Breakfast is until 10:00, but by 9:20 almost everything was gone No snacks or fruit between meals. No possibility to order food. No proper coffee service — only filtered coffee in a thermos in the morning, no coffee machine at the bar. Lunch is provided via vouchers for a nearby place with very poor hygiene. Dirty pans, no visible sanitation. Food quality was extremely low (mostly bones, feet’s, skin and chicken scraps in sauce, burnt rice). The same person handled food and money/vouchers with bare hands. Water & Showers Private cabin showers have only cold water. To get warm water, guests must use shared showers near reception. These shared showers were very dirty, with old plumbing and extremely dirty toilet brushes, and did not appear to be cleaned during our stay. Rooms Very little furniture. Only hanging chairs, no regular chair or table to sit and write or get ready. Floors were not clean. Bed linen had holes. Due to very high humidity, clothes, towels and even bed linen do not dry and become damp overnight. Bathroom area has almost no privacy: only a woven divider between toilet and room, no visual or sound privacy, no ceilings. Only one towel provided, no hand towel. Bicycles Bikes are included, but most are in very poor condition. Many have flat tyres, rusty chains, loose handlebars or broken brakes. Finding a usable bike takes time.

Entorno espectacular!! Literalmente estás en medio de la jungla. Toda una experiencia. Personal muy atento y amable.

Excursiones y actividades muy caras. El camino de acceso desde el parking podría estar mejor.

The staff and Nene very helpful

Parking space

Le cadre, être au milieu de la forêt. La salle commune est très belle et conviviale La nourriture était bonne

Les portes de salles de bain qui fermaient mal ou avec de grands jours. L'accès pour arriver aux cabanes Le peu d'eau chaude dans les douches communes

Completely unique, an amazing adventure, amazing staff (make sure you ask for the Alex Special - It’s a rum cocktail). The best beach I have ever been to Playa El Valle (15 minute Bike ride away) totally perfect.

The only thing I would say is we had 4 nights there which was perfect, but the camping vibe, cold showers, living out of your backpack/suitcase, I don’t think we would do any longer - we were in the cheapest room though so maybe the are other more expensive rooms are better.

Fantastic experience in incredible tree houses. Communal spaces & approach lend themselves to mixing in with other guests which made it a very friendly atmosphere. Staff were great, led by Aurea who was very helpful and made great cocktails! Close proximity to an amazing beach.

I would suggest some changes to the food would improve the experience, the food doesn’t stay very hot in the big serving dishes, could things like eggs in the morning be made to order - might also cut down on waste.

Wat een ervaring in een simpele boomhut, maar wel op een mooie plek.

La naturaleza

Un poco descuidadas las instalaciones y la comida no era nada aceptable con relación precio

The staff very friendly

I did not feel safe at the place

A very convenient way to enjoy being in the jungle. You get a lot of privacy in your tree house, but you’re still close to the plants, birds, firebugs and stars. The whole complex is big and beautiful. The beach nearby (which can be reached by a 20 min ride on a free bike) was simply stunning, so empty, wild and serene!

I wouldn’t say that the activities they offer are worth booking, especially for such a price. Food options for people with dietary restrictions are limited.

I had an awesome time. Everything you needed was right there in the property! The staff were fabulous and the people were great! I definitely will visit there again!

The place was amazing and also the people who work there, especially Teresa and Luis they have been very kind and careful with us

One of a kind adventure Alex the manager specialty is an awesome dude, Couple of notes this is not ur standard hotel This hotel Does not have wifi Nor hot water in the rooms which is okay It give a full experience of nature so to speak The rooms are open with no way to close it which might be a problematic for some people but for those who likes to sleep in a controlled nature environment this is. The perfect experience The staff is awesome all of them the food is authentic and fantastic of the highest quality I my self recommend this hotel very very much There is excursions that u can do all are very recommended specially the zipline that finishes in the hotel

Everything

Nothing

If you want a relax ambient to be able to hear the nature and insects, this is the place for you!

For starters, we paid for the taxi pf the hotel. When we arrive very late in the night, the employees welcome was awful. They doesn’t expect us and also they treat it us like we was wrong to be there. There’s no wifi, that was okay for us but if you came with childrens or plan to work, this is no the place. The food is limited, we love the food but at 5:30pm we was in the lobby to eat. People that came more late, maybe doesn’t saw the good food that was early. Per the employees, the activities like the yoga teacher are seasonal. If you want a fancy camping, this is the correct place.

The Tree House Village is exactly what you'd expect from the pictures: lovely thatched open pavilions perched in the rain forest. The Staff is delightful - ready to help and to make you feel very comfortable. The zip line that is adjacent to it is one of the best I've been to. The food was "home-cooked" local cuisine - nothing fancy, but plentiful and good. Big pool in which I could do short laps. Lots of birds and wildlife around. We were there for only two nights but could have stayed at least 4 or 5. We had a wonderful stay.

The attached "bathrooms" are rustic and a little uncomfortable (rock walls and cement floors) - only cold showers in most "chalets". Bathroom do not have an interior connection - it's a step out and step in to the bathroom. Hot showers are available in various locations - but recommend using those in the fist floor of the lodge facility. The trails and steps to the "chalets" are somewhat rough and uneven - not for anyone with mobility issues.

Wonderful location. Excellent breakfast and diner. Nice swimmingpool.

No WiFi…

On line

Every thing we great I can thing that we bad

Everything was amazing

I didn’t have any complaints

The beach near by was very pretty and not crowded. The place is very rustic and exotic. Staff was friendly, Alex was very nice and prepared good cocktails. The massages are a must!!

The beer was NOT included despite the high prices for the rooms. There are other hotels in the area with lower rates that could offer similar rustic vibe, Transfers to the airport are NOT included and was around $300. If you reserve the highest rooms to get a better view, make sure to be in good shape. I reserved another all inclusive resort in town and they gifted us a bottle of champagne and chocolate since it was our anniversary, the tree house does not have this type of gesture with their guest, they rather charge for everything.

The whole experience of our stay at the Tree House has been amazing. Of course, the first night was a bit scary as we didn't know what to expect when being in the jungle: bats, frogs, lizards 🦎 We stayed for 4 nights and it was great after all! We loved going to yoga in the morning, the home made food, all the games available in the lobby, the sense of community and all the evening entertainment from karaoke to dancing and the bonfire :) Honestly, we would very very much recommend this experience, just being in nature with no internet, listening to the sound of birds or the calm after the rain. The room was comfy, and we had a really nice view, of course bear in mind you are in the jungle, so don't expect hot showers. Other than that it's been great.

It was a bit hard to get to the Tree House, we took a taxi from Punta Cana to Samana, and even our driver was a bit spooked by the roads for the last 15-20 mins of the drive; but once we arrived it was all great :)

Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Great location and a must-have experience with nature.

The location and the setting of the resort is magical.

There’s a certain level of service that’s expected when you pay these prices. The facility seemed very short staffed. This was especially apparent during meal times as there often wasn’t enough food at the buffet. Items weren’t refilled as often as they should be. It was difficult to get staff attention during meal times. And the food was often cold. We spoke to other guests, some of whom went down the street to other resorts just to have dinner. We are seasoned travelers that have stayed at many eco/jungle resorts and have never come across this type of lack of regard for guests which I’m sure wasn’t intentional, they seemed short staffed in every department. For example, the confusion began at check in when the bartender was actually the one that had to check us in while in between mixing drinks for guests seated at the bar.

The staff, the hotel as a whole, the bungalows, the food.

The showerhead in the bungalow bathroom needs replacing, the heated showers weren't heated.

the staff tries, the view is nice

the location, very unsafe roads to get to this place. I had a panic attack driving to this place. Then once you get there, you feel that you have been scam because to get to the lobby is a 6 min walk on mountain side. Not Wi fi, no AC, no security in the room (unable to lock room) don't even think about bringing your kids to this place. not family friendly. My 13 year old woud not sleep in her "room" and we all had to sleep in the same bed, counting the hours so we could leave.
