Good central location in a quiet area. Cozy atmoshere and fine room to the very low price. I do not speak spanish and the young receptionist did not speak english which gave a little misunderstanding.

We had a small, very basic room, but it was clean, and we found the bed comfortable enough. All Spanish speaking, so guests should have some basic Spanish. The location is within walking distance to restaurants and marina. The staff was pleasant.

GREAT value I couldn’t believe it

Incredible stay I felt very welcomed and happy here. I’m so glad I booked this place instead an all inclusive. It’s right by the beach and has everything you need at a better price. it’s clean, safe, and conveniently located. I couldn’t have asked for better. I hope to go back soon. Highlight of my trip.

Bayahibe El Pulpo is ok.

It was for one night to get the cruise the following day. It is very simple but clean. The staff is super nice. The air conditioner was working perfectly without any noise. There was a small freezer. The place is very simple.

This hotel is spotless, everything is freshly painted in a crips white. It's very reasonably priced, but the rooms feel comfortable and have a touch of style in the furniture and fixtures. It was quiet and we were able to walk to the Isla Saona boats in about 5 minutes. We had secure & covered parking inside their courtyard/parking lot.There's no food at the hotel, but the management were very accomodating and friendly and provided free "cafecita." The beach was also just five minutes away on foot and there were a bunch of nice places to eat around the waterfront; check out the Barco Bar & Restaurant for great food right on the waters edge with a bit of a castaway vibe.
