Reviewed Aug 31, 2026The staff was nice and welcoming. We had a partial ocean view from our room, which was lovely. The food was very good and the grounds were clean, well maintained and fresh. The pool was also very nice and offered a beautiful view of the ocean .
The hotel is in need of significant maintenance and upkeep. The door to our room had a large gap underneath, so we had to place towels along the bottom to keep lizards and insects from getting inside. The property also needs fresh paint, and some of the wood appeared to be rotting and in need of replacement. The pool area also needs attention. Several of the umbrellas had visible rust, and parts of the fence surrounding the pool were broken. When we first arrived, there was also a very unpleasant smell in the room, which may have been related to the sargassum in the water. Overall, the hotel has a lot of potential, but it would greatly benefit from some much-needed maintenance and renovations.

There was a giant rat in the kitchen, walking all over the pizza area. Gladly we saw it before ordering and left immediately. The electricity was gone in the night, the bathroom was clean but limescale on the tap. We will never come back again. The entrance was not taking care of. It was a shame we could not cancel otherwise we sure have did it. The reception lady I think the owner was not very interested at the check out about our stay. The Dominican lady at the check in was very nice. Edit: it seems the owner has decided the only way out of this review is to reply with an accusation of us consuming drugs or something of the like. Absolutely despicable behavior.

Linens and beds were comfortable. Great AC and Fan (needed on this part of the island). Grounds were beautiful. Lots of space to relax. Breakfast was included, limited selection, but also good. The staff was fantastic and patient with our large, disorganized (and at times, difficult) large group. It's a great place to stay if you want to explore the many rivers and natural spring pools in the area, or as a break on the long drive to Bahia de Las Aguilas. I will definitely stay there again.

Chambres manquent un peu de charme mais c’est un détail.

Reviewed Aug 18, 2025We stayed at this hotel recently and had a mixed experience. At check-in there was a strange moment when the receptionist asked us to fill out a form with full credit card details, including the CVV and expiration date — something I’ve never been asked for before. I booked through Hotels.com and thought the room had already been paid, which made the request feel unnecessary and uncomfortable. In the end, they just charged the card directly and didn’t insist, but it left a weird first impression. The property itself has a lot of potential — the location comes with beautiful ocean views, though unfortunately the seaweed (sargassum) problem below the cliffs created a strong smell during our stay. The room was okay, but little details were missing: one bed had a duvet cover, while the other didn’t, so one of us was cold at night. On the positive side, the food at the hotel’s restaurant was delicious — probably the highlight of our stay — and the staff in the restaurant were very friendly. With some added charm, decoration, and attention to detail, this place could really become a tropical gem.
