The start was a bit rough, but the staff made the difference here. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy with our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. On our last day, we did an excursion, and they were very helpful, flexible, and very understanding. Will say the beach needs more attention since it is a virgin area, but overall, it is very beautiful. This little hotel has so much potential. It is crazy. We will definitely stay there again.

Nice place and staff is very responsive and kind. The only thing we didn’t like is that the beach was covered by algae and the sea soil was slimy, because of a storm of days before, but this is not hotels guilt.

An excellent place to relax and unwind from stress. Beach is beautiful. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We had the entire place to ourselves! It was amazing every day. The weather, the food, the beach!!! We took a tour to cayo arena and the experience is unforgettable! The local town has small local restaurants and businesses. We had the apartment complex because we are a family of 4., my only complaint is that the water should be fixed in the bathroom and the beds need an upgrade, otherwise it’s an amazing place to unwind. Nothing fancy and expensive- just a simple natural place on earth to breathe and enjoy!

Booked this location as I wanted a location safe , and quiet away from tourist attractions. Prior to booking what caught my eyes, was having the beach just few steps from the room door. La isla Bonita met all my expectations and more . Upon arrival I was greeted by Kelvin, who completed the check in , which was very quick . I booked the two bedroom family stay . Kelvin gave us a tour of the apartment we were going to be staying . Which I felt in love with . The setup is perfect .Rooms were in the opposite side of the apartment . Both room with huge windows and ocean view. Rooms were really spacious with walk in closet. High chair and crib were available if needed . Been able to be just few steps to our own private beach with a toddler was amazing , I was able to run after my child without a worry about being at an over crowded beach .The beach area was super clean with plenty of seating areas with shades . Very clean bathrooms and rise off area . The staff was so kind the minute we walked to the beach one of them came and brought my daughter toys to play in the sand . They came over to ask if we wanted anything to drink or eat. The restaurant food and attention was 100/10. If you are looking for authentic Dominican food , here you will find the best . Every single plate we got from the appetizers to the breakfast the next day, was delicious and fresh . This place is a true gem .

The property was not exactly what we expected. The photos make it appear that you can step right out of your room onto the beach, but because we booked a two-bedroom unit, our room was on the second floor instead. The staircase leading up to the room was very narrow and slippery, which felt unsafe. I would not recommend this property for older adults or anyone with mobility concerns. The room was missing some basic amenities. There were no hand towels, and only the roll of toilet paper already in the bathroom, with no extra provided. The restaurant served good food, but the service was very slow, even though our group had selected our meals well in advance. Overall, our stay was okay, but it did not match the expectations set by the photos.
