Amazing
Everything was beautiful and staff where really friendly
The photos are exactly how the property is. We had a wonderful night and the best part was breakfast on the private terrace delivered.
Everything is appropriate to the style of this hotel. Is a wonderful relaxing place and the staff are very attentive.
We absolutely loved our stay at Chalet Tropical! From the moment we arrived, the service was beyond exceptional—worthy of a 5-star hotel rating. Every detail was handled with care and genuine warmth. Chalet #1 is incredibly spacious and creatively designed. It’s a feast for the senses—crafted with beautiful woodwork, unique rustic furniture, and thoughtful artistic touches in every corner. Just look at these pictures! Every space felt like a handcrafted masterpiece. We especially loved having our own private pool, complete with a peaceful waterfall. Even though the water was cold, we still enjoyed every moment—the sound alone was pure tropical serenity. Although we won’t be back ourselves, we’ve already shared this hidden gem with our friends and family so they too can enjoy this unforgettable experience. It’s truly a special place, full of charm, nature, and creativity. 🌿🌊
Very quiet and relaxing experience
Property made you feel you are on a old cabin, very good! Breakfast was great and staff did a great job on making sure we were happy. Restaurant was ok, nothing great a bit pricy for the type of service. Other than that it was great, location was great to get out and go to las galeras or to go to other excursions.
This jungle hotel is a hidden gem. Our experience was beyond what we had imagined from check-in to check-out...beaches were walking distance & we were surrounded by so much beauty! Our chalet was perfect & very private with plenty of room for our party of 6. The staff was outstanding, very attentive and helpful. Breakfast was included & always delicious! Hoping to visit again in the near future..
Great place!
This was my first time in a place like this and me and my family had such a great time. Kids and animals friendly. I recommend to try their pizza 🍕 😋
Excelente experiencia. No le doy más estrellas porque no hay más. Sin duda alguna volveré.
The place it’s exactly how they show in pictures, the owner was incredibly amazing, they know how to treat their customers ❤️ I will definitely go back again 💕
If you have apool tables you should have tacos to play,they are in a very bad condition
Muy bello y todo
The service was amazing! The staff are kind and are punctual! The owner is very kind!! You can tell she cares about her establishment and wants everyone staying to have a great experience! Loved everything about it!
Loved the ambience. Breakfasts were delicious and served in such an appetizing and beautiful manner. Location great. Easy walk to the beach. Friendly staff. Charming and very different. Shower really cool --- water came out of a rock like a waterfall. And really good hot water. Would recommend if you are in the area!
Lo unico que no me gustó fue que dejamos un traje de baño secando en la galeria de la habitacion y alguien lo tomó y mas nunca apareció
No t. No radio bathroom on the first level and bedroom Alway on the second floor no grief at the moment nobody gave us a tour or information about the property it was different of what we seen on the amenities
Don’t stayed here - book the room last minute couldn’t get there - GPS couldn’t locate the place , after calling the number no one answer the call 📞 . The location is extremely extremely steep up in the hills extremely narrow . I did not locate the place after hours going up and down the hills .. no sign or directions near the zone area
Safe and unique place
Thanks for everything
Muy bien servicio
Very pretty and comfortable place to stay in
Tiene un estilo diferente y acogedor. Tienen problemas con la recepcion del wifi, estaba trabajando de forma intermitente. Le sugiero añadir tv a las habitaciones.
Stay at this place for 3 nights and the first night there was a storm. The front of my bungalow was flooded and I informed the font desk the next day and they did not do anything until I spoke with one of the cleaning ladies. The power went off a couple of time the last night. It was pitch black and hot. Nobody came out to say anything or apologize for the inconvenience.
El lugar es excelente.!! El desayuno es super riquisimo, el trato del personal fue de lo mejor, Aurora nos trato super bien. Hicimos el tour en 4 wheels que brida Chalet Tropical, y nos fuimos con Adonis, que fue un super dia.
Tienen que tener más limpieza , en especial en los baños de las habitaciones .
Excelente experiencia muy recomendado.
Very nice place.
What a break…pineapple jelly with coconut bread, smoothies, coffee with milk (in bamboo), eggs, cheese, plantanos and ham! Flowers in seashells topped the presentation! We had a choice to be served on the veranda or to have a floating tray in the waterfall pool. This place has absolutely outdone any and all competition in my book! If ever in Las Galeras, I highly recommend Chalet Tropical Bio-hotel! It will surpass any expectations and then some!
We will be back again!! Love it!!!
Maravillosoe encanto naturaleza todo
El lugar es hermoso 😍😍😍 acojedor nuestra bella Charlyne es súper atenta. Todo el personal te trata con respecto y muy amables. Desde la dueña hasta el que limpia es un trato único. Volveremos pronto.
Excelente buena atención , la Comida espectacular me Encanto el Lugar es bellísimo y muy tranquilo
This is our third time staying here. We love it, for the peacefulness, and for the attentiveness of the owner and staff. We did have a few issues with water in our villa, but because of recent rains and flooding, it really wasn’t a big deal and when our water went out, we simply informed the staff and they took care of it. Some of the things in the kitchen area could be replaced. The greka was broken so it overflowed every time we made coffee, one of the drawers with all of the utensils was missing a handle, and the toaster oven was broken, but these were minor inconveniences to cooking. It will not deter us from continuing to return yearly. Everything else was perfect. This was the first time we stayed in the bigger villa and we brought friends. We had plenty of space for everyone and it was wonderfully fun and relaxing. They are currently building an on-site restaurant and large pool area in the front of the property so it will be even more beautiful and we are excited to return to see the improvements.
The family villa was gorgeous and well put together with its own pool. For some reason we did end up loosing power “region wide” which the hotel has no fault over for nearly 8 hrs. Pretty much all night. The wooden villa was not as hot compared to the brick one I heard about. Regardless, the very next morning I met the owner to which he treated us two complimentary breakfast which was very polite of him to do. He was there since the day prior which does show he cares for his clients and property which is also very well kept. Regardless of the power issue my family and I felt safe and secure and did not have any other issues.
Muy confortable, bungalows con su "jacuzzi" privado, con decoracion en madera...el tiene nevera, estufa, y un pequeño horno...
The property was great, clean, they have cat very friendly in the property. The place feels very private and we really enjoy our stay, thank you.
Very nice
What you see is what you get. The pics are a true image of the property. Attended by the owners. If you want quiet, reserved, clean you can't go wrong here
The hotel is beautiful, excellent concept and the little chalets with their private pools, private garden with hammocks are a great convenience if you are looking for a serene, relaxing stay in a green - environmentally friendly location. However, as great as our experience was and the beautiful property, there a few areas of improvement that ownership should take into consideration: 1- Bathroom privacy: the current design - layout doesn’t not allow for much privacy while showering. Anyone using the stairs or standing on the second floor has a clear view of anyone showering. 2- Mosquitoes: given the property is surrounded by beautiful greenery, there is a lot of mosquitoes on the premises and inside the chalets. Ownership should consider daily fumigation to mitigate the abundance of mosquitoes which can make a great experience a miserable one for those of us allergic to mosquitoes. Other than these two items, I highly recommend the hotel and would welcome everyone to try it. I would definitely return.
The rustic chalet had air-conditioning and hot water, as well as a sense of being natural cottage. The food was very good and the chef pretty much cooked. Whatever you wanted to enjoy & service was right on. Surrounded by vegetational flowers and plants it was t with a pool and a running cascade. It was all totally private I only wish that the private rock pool in front of the chalet and heated water. I’m sure that’s not a problem in the summer months.
Very nice, love it, but couldn’t stay long it was all sold out 😩
Un lugar excelente para pasar en familias.
Great for families, private pool, beautiful garden, and lovely cats
Este hotel no tiene las amenidades que ofrecen el linea. El area es muy descuidada y no hay restaurantes cerca. No regresaría por este precio pensé que recibiría más atenciones y por lo menos que estubiera limpio. Las sabanas y toallas estaban sucias y mal olientes
We really loved this property and our three teenagers are already asking when we can return. That is amazing considering the lodge we stayed in did not have a TV! There was a little mix-up when we checked-in and were taken to the wrong lodge, but considering we arrived earlier than expected, it was no big deal and fixed. There was a small issue with the water going out (due to construction outside the facility) but by the time we returned from the beach it was fixed. The owner herself came to explain and she was just so apologetic. We brought some of our own food because there was a small fridge and gas burner plate. No oven. One of the burners didn’t work, but we were easily able to make do with one. The kitchen area had all the basics, so just bring hot pads and paper towels. There was no blender to make frozen treats, but we asked for one and they brought it right over. We ordered dinner one night: fried fish, shrimp, pasta and all of the dishes were beautiful and delicious. We loved having our own little dipping pool and we felt like we were in our own little tropical secluded paradise. The l bungalow itself was so pretty. We ate every meal on the big porch table and even our kids hung out in the hammocks and talked and listened to music. Just remember to pack bug spray because there are mosquitos! The beach is about a 10-minute walk away and it is breathtakingly beautiful. Very peaceful and little to no waves so we just floated around. Did not want to leave.
It’s an amazing ambiance
Please is ok but no like what you see in pictures. The hole room smelled like pee and one staff member was not friendly.
Great place to stay!
Overall, my husband and I absolutely loved
Waterfall at the private pools
We definitely recommend this place. Beautiful place to stay and relax
Love it
Everything
This property is ment to help you unwind, and disconnect from everything. Very unique, small, quiet, perfect.
peaceful-quite-clean-great staff and overall an amazing place
Perfect niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i love ittttttttttt its beautiful place and quiet
Chalet Tropical Village went above and beyond to meet the expectations. This cute little establishment has all one needs. Super friendly staff, an uber clean chalet as well as its five star organic architecture drew an excellent impression that we couldn’t have enough of it! Thank you to the whole team for enabling a lovely vacation.
I like that is was a very private and pretty cabin, with everything you need to stay in such as a bathroom, kitchen, food processor, blender, coffee machine, hot water fully packed house, they offer really nice and cheap breakfast which they deliver with a beautiful presentation at the time you ask them to the day before. I did not like that the first room I stayed with my girlfriend was small and had a shared bathroom which had leaks that wasn't pleasant. We then were changed to an entire cabin just for us by the owner who is a very nice lady. We were really happy to be there and didn't want to leave.
No restaurant available, the toilets flushing systems was not functioning
This property is unique with a tropical theme. The staff was very friendly. We ordered breakfast every day and it was delicious. Beds were pretty comfy compared to other places in the DR. Good location; close to playita beach and restaurants. Safe and quiet. Downsides were we had stayed here before and breakfast was included but this time was not. Also, AC broke the second night and was not repaired but they gave us a fan to use. Definitely bring bug spray!
We loved staying here! I felt very relaxed and enjoyed waking up and walking around the space. Breakfast was outstanding! The environment, the detailed touch and the space were very unique-you can tell the owner really put thought into it. Thank you! I just wished we had shampoo in the bathroom. Also, our net was broken so we had an incident of a giant bug flying in the room and on my boyfriend's neck.. So maybe fix the nets for the future. :)
This chalet is a beautiful place. I would recommend this to everyone.
Nice quiet place near gorgeous beaches
This place was far better than an all inclusive resort we stayed in one day of our trip in La Romana! Chalet Tropical is in a beautiful and safe feeling area of North DR... away from the rat race of tourist, Vendors etc. A beautiful peaceful semi secluded beach was really close to walk too. They provide a wonderful breakfast and have an excellent cook on staff for dinner if you would like as well. It is beautiful, peaceful, and the staff was wonderful and friendly. The Chalet's are awesome! I recommend it to anyone who wants to have an awesome experience.
This is a great place to land after a busy day of walking, swimming, seeing the whales ! It is a 5 minute walk into town and near all the great bars and restaurant.
The huts are incoperated with local materials and art works. Cozy to spend anytime in a day. Beautiful grounds for relaxing and a very quick walk to the beach. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Our room was characterful - entered through a trap door - but the big round king bed was a bit shaky. Breakfast was decent.
We loved our stay at Chalet. The staff were very professional and helpful. The price for the rooms are very reasonable. Our favorite was the breakfast and the hammocks in front of the chalets. Hopefully we can return soon!
The staff was the best. They knew everything about the area and knew a lot of the people in the area personally. Everyone outside the hotel also knew and respected the staff there. The beautiful beach is about 10 minutes away walking. We were worried that there was no a/c, but we slept on the top floor with a fan and nice breeze coming through at night, so it was fine. There is no television, but there is free WiFi. The breakfast was included and made to order the night before and brought right to our porch every morning. The presentation was lovely and the food was great. The grounds are pretty and well kept with hammocks to relax in. This is like sleeping in a treehouse or camping in some sort of log cabin except that there is running, hot water with good pressure. If you don't like/can't stand bugs, it may be a little bit of a problem because their place is very much in tune with nature. Other than that, it was great.
We recently stayed at Chalet Tropical. It exceeded my expectations! It could not have been better in any way. the accommodations were unique and beautiful. Within 10 minutes of arriving we received fresh squeezed local fruit juice . The breakfasts were wonderful and delightfully decorated with flowers. Sarah the owner went above and beyond to help us plan our daily activities. The chalets are a 10 minute walk to the local town beach and from there can get a 15 minute boat ride to the remote beaches. If we ever make it back to the Dominican Republic I would like to stay here again.
Awsome. Excelent place and people. Just walk from beach to the next beach and the next and the next... Lovely
This was a very surprising hotel, the chalet were in great shape and build with a surprising art knowledge. Love the interior and the wide space everywhere. The service (breakfast) was the best I got form a hotel, ever. This is a very unique experience and I recommend this place 100%. You will love this place.
Beatiful place. Sara the owner is very nice and helpful in organizing and assist you with everything you need. Thanks Sara we will be back soon .....I hope
Our stay at Chalet Tropical was an absolute pleasure. We arrived having booked the day before, and by knowing very much about the area. Sara (the manager) and Darling were extremely accommodating; they recommended the must-sees of the area, places to eat and even helped us find a place to stay the following night as they were fully booked the upcoming nights and we had only booked the stay for one day (big mistake!) The rooms and chalets are fantastic. We stayed in the top floor bedroom, which was spacious, clean and very comfortable! The chalet came with a big communal kitchen, a large porch and many relaxing hammocks to lay in! The atmosphere is relaxing and friendly, and you are surrounded by nature. Breakfast was delicious and I was very surprised with the amount of choice that was on offer! (They even had a vegan and celiac breakfast option!) If you are staying on the Samana peninsula, Chalet Tropical is a must see. Will be coming back here with a big group next time! Many thanks to the lovely and accommodating staff!
This was such a fun, different place to stay. The staff gave us excellent service. They were all friendly and attentive. We loved the chalet with it's unique layout and décor. But the best part was the breakfast served to us on our front porch! The beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean and the grounds are beautiful. I would definitely stay here again.
Very nice experience at Sarah's tropical escape...she works hard, is warm and enthusiastic and you feel like she's happy to have you. The rooms and chalets are very unique with unusual woody details... The breakfast's were hardy and she seems to have a knack for picking nice people to work for her. We'll be back!
We read so many great reviews about Chalet Tropical, and the price was really excellent, so we decided to book through Expedia. We couldn't be happier. First of all, Sarah seemed like an instant friend rather than someone we had just met. We stayed at Taino, and everything was clean and beautiful. The breakfasts are gorgeous and delivered to your door. I loved the Dominican best, my husband loved Tropical, there were quite a few to choose from. Sarah was great at figuring out how we wanted to spend our time, and helped us figure out what we wanted to do daily. We had a car, so we drove to Playa Rincon one day, but just walked to Playita the other days. Sarah arranged for 6 of us at the Chalet to join a whale watching tour one of the days, and it was amazing, they also took us to Fronton for a couple of hours. The gorgeous grounds and guest houses are really unique, and it felt like a friendly community. We quickly learned that Sarah is well respected in the community of Las Galeras, everybody seems to know her. Chalet Tropical is about a 10 minute walk from Playita, and the same from town. We really appreciated the communication we received before we left for our trip with information that was helpful about what to pack and that we would want to bring bug spray, flashlights, and that we could expect to pay cash for most things. We found it very easy to get a cash advance at the bank in town when we ran low on cash. We also loved that Sarah provided beach towels. So memorable!
It was very nice and a unique experience if staying in a cottage with a room that felt like staying in a tree house with all the comforts . The owner was very warm and nice as well .
Great visit at the Chalet Tropical. Our experience, beginning with our reservation was top notched. I appreciated the packing tips that was sent prior to our trip. The B&B was easy to find thanks to the road signs. And, upon arrival, we had a whale watching trip booked for the next morning (which was a lot of fun!). We loved our stay (even though, it was a bit rainy). Thank you!
Small hotel that allow the staff take care of all your needs with and excelent service making you feel in family environment.
The nicest staff in a little slice of Paradise. This is a great place to take a family! My wife and I had our 6 year old, and had the best week. The Chalet Tropical is a lovely little compound with 5 A frame bungalow that can sleep 10+ and a Gueast House with 3 smaller units, 2 of which share a bathroom. We were in one and it was great with a kitchen as well. We mostly ate out as there are plenty of nice places to eat in town which is an 8 minute walk away. Surprisingly good pizza! 2 beaches are within a few minutes walk. The nicest staff in a a little slice of Paradise. This is a great place to take a family!

We rented a car (highly recommended!) and drove to a few other amazing beaches, Rincon and Colorado, which are a bit of a trek, but totally worth it. The owner, Sarah, and her amazing staff will help you set up a hundred different excursions that are all great. Cannot recommend highly enough! This is not posh.
Gorgeous views Great food Warm beaches Great restaurants nearby Quiet place
if you are looking for something diferent, natural view,not animation,fadr from the noise of people and the city this the hotel. the beach look like a private even local people i did not see there. there were some restaurant very god to have dinner like ventura , was perfect food.
