La tranquilidad, la limpieza, las atenciones de Valcin, el seguimiento del Sr Stefano para confirmar que estábamos bien.
Ya es la 3era vez que vamos a este alojamiento, la primera vez fue en el 2020, quedamos enamorados con la ubicación, está a pocos minutos caminando de La Playita (una playa espectacular), cerca del pueblo pero no se siente nada del ruido, es super tranquilo. Aunque solo es una habitación, los espacios son bien grandes, muy bien equipado. Seguro que volveremos!
Algunas luces / bombillos son de color blanco (6000k), eso no hace un lugar cálido aveces. Mejor todas las luces del lugar (sobretodo habitación), tenerlas a la misma temperatura (3000-4000k).
Muy limpio, hermoso y organizado, el personal es amable y atentos a cualquier necesidad, me encanta este lugar esta en buena zona frente al mar. Excelente
El lugar es super tranquilo, se llega caminando a la playa, tiene piscina, el lugar es confortable.
Todo estuvo bien
La struttura è molto bella e pulita, la posizione perfetta, a 10 minuti a piedi da una delle spiagge più belle della zona chiamata playta, è a 15 dal centro, la piscina è piccola ma perfetta e pulita, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. La raccomando
Nulla
Eine Ruhe zu genießen, wie in diesem Pelican Apart Hotel, das geht wohl fast nirgendwo sonst in der Dom. Rep. Wir haben den Aufenthalt genossen, das Personal war super freundlich, eine vollständige Küche im Appartement. Nichts hat gefehlt. Wenn wir wieder nach Las Galeras kommen - niur hierher.
Keine negativen Eindrücke
Las instalaciones son impecables, tiene áreas sociales hermosas rodeadas de naturaleza, la jardinería está muy bien cuidada, los aptos son amplios y confortables. La atención del personal es excelente! Muy buena comunicación y amabilidad 100%

La ubicació era increíble, al costat de la platja que més ens va agradar!
The room/cottage was very clean and comfy. Everything worked fine. The host was very friendly and helpful and was always reachable for us. We could even check-in earlier, which was very convenient. A big bottle of water was provided and coffee to enjoy in the morning. Pool was clean and the parking space was spacious. Within 10 minutes of walking you are in the city center and at the beautiful beach. We can recommend the room for a short stay.
The room was smaller than expected, but for a short stay more than enough. Wifi did not work properly.
L’établissement est propre, un peu en retrait de la rue principale mais tout en restant proche des commerces et surtout d’une très belle plage. La résidence est belle et bien entretenue.
Il manque un micro onde pour réchauffer les biberons des petits par exemple.
It was a perfect day at this place. Nothing was missing, we truly loved it.
El pueblo de Las Galeras y las playas cercanas. El personal muy amable. Zona de piscina agradable Te dejan una garrafa de agua para la estancia y toallas de playa.
Habitación y baño muy pequeños, cuando ponía que tenía 40m. Perros en la zona común que molestan La wifi funciona mal. No hay casi utensilios de cocina, estaría bien un par de platos y algunos accesorios más. No te limpian la habitación
Todo excelente, el trato, la comodidad, muy tranquilo, no hay ruidos molestos, el alojamiento muy completo, el baño excelente, realmente volveremos a este hermoso lugar. Stefano estuvo pendiente de cualquier cosa que necesitáramos! Un 10 todo.
La ubicacion mezcla privacidad y seguridad
Lugar muy comodo, con ubicacion a pocos metros de La Playita, desde alli puedes hacer excursiones y conocer lugares top y muy lindos como Playa Fronton, Rincon, Madama, entre otras. El alojamiento es muy limpio, cuenta con una piscina disponible y una grilla para cocinar carne o pescado al aire libre. Recomiendo este lugar como punto estrategico para visitar otros lugares y tambien pasar un poco de relax en caso de quedarse en casa. Gracias Stefano y el resto del personal, son muy amables y atentos ante cualquier necesidad.
We really enjoyed the little cottage and it’s location. The cottage is located in a beautiful landscaped setting with nature and within walking distance to the beach, La Playita. The kitchen was totally complete for cooking and there was hot water.
Es war einfach, ohne großen Luxus, aber das passte absolut in das wunderschöne kleine Örtchen Las Galeras. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, alles war sauber, gemütlich und ruhig. Herrliche Natur war um uns. 5 Minuten zu Fuß durch die Landschaft und man am La Playita…Karibik pur. Bars, Liegen und herrliches Wasser…und trotzdem ohne dass man das Gefühl von Tourismus hat. Abends am Pool sitzen oder auf der gemütlichen Veranda war herrlich. Oder man läuft in das Örtchen. Bodegita ist eingünstigesund leckeres Restaurant, probiert das Angusrind! Gegenüber hinter der Tauchschule ist ein Schmucklädchen (Artesano), wo ihr sogar auf individueller Bestellung Schmuck bekommt, auch mit Süßwasserperlen. Mehrfach in 10 Tagen bekamen wir frische Handtücher, Strandtücher und Bettwäsche. Das Personal war sehr, sehr nett und auch der Eigentümer war sogar mal in einem Notfall sofort bereit uns zu helfen.
In der Küche hätte etwas mehr Geschirr, Bretter und Schüsseln sein können.
Clean, near the centre, safe place, pool to be used, by the beach. Staff very friendly and reliable
The room was little but comfortable
Very clean! Close to a beautiful beach
Was schoon en lag op een perfecte locatie.
De kamer was wat kleiner dan dat we ons hadden voorgesteld. Er leek wat schimmel op de gordijnen te zitten. Dit hebben we tijdens ons verblijf gemeld bij de eigenaar. Onze feedback werd direct serieus genomen en de communicatie was prettig. Bij vetrek werd alles direct extra en goed gereinigd.
La piscine. Le calme la nuit. La proximité de la Playita.
La cuisine dans notre unité était peu équipée et aurait besoin d'être améliorée.
Il posto tranquillo e a due passi dalla spiaggia

Super lokalizacja, piękne miejsce, cisza, spokój, cudowna natura i blisko plaże.
Tranquilidad del entorno
No ofrece desayuno
Las vistas al jardín y la piscina desde la habitación, las camas son cómodas. La terraza es estupenda y comoda para comer y relajarse.
Proximity to beach and town
Nothing
La Villa es preciosa, súper cómodas las habitaciones, ubicada en zona dexselva , mucha paz... A 5 minutos caminando tenés "La playita" y a 8 minutos el centro y la playa principal de dónde salen las excursiones. Súper recomendable
Il giardino e piscina
Manca il phon

En un periodo de tres horas se fue la luz y por lo tanto el agua( están conectadas) tres veces. Me pilló duchandome y con el pelo lleno de champú. Para llegar al hotel hay un camino de 15 minutos sin iluminación, si no te gusta la aventura tendrás que coger el coche para ir al pueblo. No nos quedamos la segunda noche ya que no quería correr el riesgo de volver de la playa y quedarme sin luz ni agua para ducharme de nuevo. 100 dólares la noche para esto me parece un robo, hay hoteles en las terrenas por el mismo precio infinitamente mejores.
L’emplacement au calme et proche d’une petite plage très sympa Le personnel adorable La piscine, le lieu
Petit bémol pour le couchage dans la pièce principale : moins insonorisée que la chambre Pas de Clim dans cette pièce ( même si à la période où nous y étions, ça n’était pas du tout un pb )
We loved everything. It’s a true piece of paradise: a short walk along a trail leads you to the stunning beach of La Playita. The Pelicano pool was beautiful, and the apartments were impeccably clean.
That we couldn’t stay for more time.
Ubicación, atención y cuidado de Stefano. La terraza superior con parrilla top. Las camas muy cómodas. La piscina muy agradable. También la flexibilidad para la hora de salida. En definitiva, un gusto
Nada
Todo del hotel me encantó. La ubicación excelente, muy cerca del pueblo y de la playa (a menos de 10 minutos caminando), los apartamentos estaban muy bien equipados, la limpieza era buena, las habitaciones eran cómodas, la atención excelente (el Sr. Stefano siempre dispuesto a ayudar y muy ágil en responder). Las zonas sociales muy agradables, el hotel se ve muy bien cuidado. ¡Lo súper recomiendo!
Todo me encantó!
muy tranquilo y cerca de 2 importantes playas
El orden, la limpieza y las instalaciones
Nada
Todo, hemos estado el año anterior y hemos regresado por lo bien que se está en este lugar. Es un verdadero paraíso, lleno de tranquilidad, naturaleza y la playa a pocos pasos. Seguiremos regresando y recomendándolo!
Nada
La piscina y jardín hermosos
Importante: hay solo 1 aire acondicionado en la habitación, y en en living donde está el sofá cama era una verdadero horno. Pienso que deberían invertir en un aire acondicionado adicionalmente para dicha zona porque el calor de noche es insoportable y no puedes abrir las ventanas porque entran los mosquitos.
Extrem gepflegt, sehr schöne Gartenanlage, toller Pool.
Es un sitio ideal. Entorno paradisiaco y se está súper tranquilo. Desconexión total. Sitio limpio, servicio muy atento. Te facilitan agua. La verdad que es 10/10 recomendable. Además, está a 5 minutos de La Playita, una playa preciosa.
Por decir algo, la alcachofa de la ducha salía con poca presión. Lo comentamos y nos vinieron a ayudar. El agua de la piscina estaba un poco sucia, pero es cierto que había llovido y quizás se debe a eso. Como información: no tiene cocinas (aunque los apartamentos vienen equipados con una) por lo que si quieres salir a la calle principal a los restaurantes o al colmado, has de caminar unos 15 minutos que puede llegar a hacerse pesado.
Todo en general....el complejo, la limpieza, la playa cerca, la amabilidad del dueño,....ni una pega..un sitio fantástico!!! muchas gracias por todo
I really enjoyed this place. It met and exceeded our expectations. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is great, the rooms are spacious, it has all the kitchenware you need for your daily living. Internet speed is super great, I could work remotely without any problem. We've enjoyed our stay a lot and will definitely come back!

I liked the location. It was tucked away and quiet but also in close proximity to just about everything. Town and beaches within walking distance. The beds were so comfortable. Stefano and staff were very attentive. We asked with help decorating and getting a cake for our niece's birthday, and they went above and beyond. We would definitely stay here again.
Sheets on bed kept coming off because they were a bit loose. I think there should be some signage to help lead you to La Playita beach.
How clean and well decorated was the environment, all the amenities and the staff.
I’d probably change the pillows, they were a little too hard for my liking
The location is very good, next to the nice hotels, you can see the beach when you walk outside, on a safe street and it’s just a few minutes walking to the beach and restaurants. The bed is huge and one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in a hotel. Everything is clean. Stefano was very kind and helpful with arranging a cab driver and allowed us to have a late check-out. Nice swimming pool and kind employees.
Maybe have a little bit more light in the bathroom, it’s kind of dark in the appartement and especially the bathroom. Would also help if the employee who received us can speak a little bit of English. Lastly, fix the fridge, as it’s not closing well.
Loved how clean the apartments were and how they were stocked with many necessities. The proximity to the beach was awesome. The staff was very helpful.
There was not a negative experience that I could think of.
5 Minute walk to beach. 5 minutes walk to Main street. Well equipped kitchen, blender, toaster, gas stove. We loved that there was a box with coffee, sugar and a mocca coffee cooker. Pool was good, plus pavillon with a gas barbecue.
The fridge was only cooling slightly below ambiente temperature. No cleaning, or towel change was done during our stay of 4 days.
Super spacious place, with trees around and a nice swimming pool. Communication upon arrival was excellent, it was definitely one of the best hotels we stayed at during our trip.
Could hear the neighbors talking as the houses are pretty close one to another but definitely ok with ear plugs.
The location is fantastic!!! You can’t get any better in the area in my opinion. The apartment is very big and comfortable as well. The host and staff were extremely helpful and nice.
Nothing.
Enjoyed the cleanliness, staff and proximity to the beach.
nothing noteworthy
Very friendly staff, clean rooms, well kept greens and the unique pool design was perfect for both smaller kids (shallow platforms on the sides) and adults who want a bit of depth to swim in. Staff was always nearby to help but never bothersome or intrusive, perfect for me. Nearby beach was amazing! Very safe feel to the area - we had a great time.
it was a bit older than it looked in photos
Great location next to the most beautiful beach (Playita) in a very exclusive and quiet neighborhood. The pool is big and clean. Stefano and Luis where very helpful and responsive.
Comfortable, clean and spacious.
Perhaps a little farther to the beach than we had thought, but other than that, all good.
The exterior
Property needs updates Bed was uncomfortable Sheets, towels and blankets did not smell clean. Kitchen needs remodeling No toilet paper or soap No soap holders in the shower Interior does not match the pictures provided
I love this place , I cant wait until I go back again!!!!
I cant even say anything bad about this place
we love it!!! everthing, everything…
just the way to get there is very confusing, but is not like is a bad thing, because we contact the owner, and he immediately answers and help us.. so is not like a bad thing.
The location was great, it is a beautiful spot 5 mins away from La Playita Beach. Highly recommended place to stay!! The beach that is close by it's beautiful and you won't need more than that! You will need to drive to the main street where all the restaurants are, but other than that, this place is great!
You need transportation to the restaurant area, you could walk, but it could take a while.
We stayed for 5 nights and liked the apartment a lot. Stefano was really helpful via WhatsApp and the staff was very friendly and helpful too. The location was 5 minutes walk from the beach, beautiful and peaceful, since it wasn’t right next to main street. The environment was lovely - few cows walked free in the park next to hotel! <3 The kitchenette had everything we needed.
We didn’t get the info when booking that you can pay only by cash, and it cost us 40 euros to get the extra cash from ATM. Bed was “well slept”, and there was a pit in it. Wifi worked mainly outdoors.
functionality and location
Cozy, clean and full equipped apartment. Great swimming pool and location... few minutes walk from Playita and Playa Las galeras. We liked so much that extended our stay from 3 to 5 nights.
it’s very quite, the balcony is nice, good to have a pool, beach in walking distance. Mosquito nets everywhere.
too many mosquitos, internet is not always stable, doesn’t look as nice as on the picture. However we extended our stay because there was nothing else available and it wasn’t too bad.
everything ✨❤️
It was like staying in paradise , peaceful , beautiful sceneries it was exceptional, I will definitely go back again without a doubt
There is nothing I can say bad about this place
Excellent location, quiet area near restaurants and beach
The bed could have been more comfortable and the pillows as well. The apartment has poor lighting, too dark . The living room not very comfortable seating furniture.
