No lo recomiendo, aparenta verse bien en fotos pero es todo lo contrario en ningún momento fueron a limpiar en la habitación. La picsina se veía sucia que no le dan mantenimiento, no hay suficientes utensilios para cocinar, solo funcionaba una hornilla para cocinar ni siquiera tenía fósforos para prenderlo, el área es deprimente para vacacionar y no hay comodidades de un supermercado o restaurantes cerca, en definitivo no vale la pena.

It was a very nice and clean place. Very low key and quiet. It was perfect. I’d recommend to anybody wanting a good place that’s not that expensive.

Clean, safe and affordable!

A hidden gem. We needed a place to park and relax before our 5:00am flight out of DR. This was perfect. Clean and comfy and much better than many chain hotels in the states. Has a pool, lounge chairs,and there is a small beach!

Economic Stay with nice beach in walking distance

Good and Economic when you spend most of the time at the beach. It is clean and has a nice garden with pool. Small supermarkets and restaurants are in 5 min walking distance. Note that only cash is accepted, no credit card and that no safe box is available in the room and that there are no chairs at the beach. But within 5 minutes walking you find a really nice beach where you can rent umbrellas, beach chairs & co.

A Gem

The hotel was extremely tranquil and clean. The pool was very relaxing especially since it was surrounded by tropical trees and flowers. As my wife and prefer to cook our own food, the kitchen and fridge are always on our priority list. It is well equipped. The building is secure at all times as is the general vicinity. Walking to the Colmado is easy. And there is no problem if you need clean towels or other items. We have stayed at several other places in Juan Dolio and this is by far our favorite. We will stay there again in the near future. I hope your enjoy your stay as we did.

No recomiendo este hotel para nada!!!

La experiencia fue muy mala. En la habitación que nos colocaron no había electricidad, tampoco llegaba agua a la ducha y no había agua caliente en todo el hotel; tratamos de utilizar la piscina y el agua estaba sucia. Nos cambiaron de habitación y el aire no funcionaba; nos decían que no tenían más habitaciones disponibles y se negaban a reembolsarnos el dinero. Como a las 8:30 pm accedieron a devolvernos el dinero porque ya nos encontrábamos de muy mal humor y nos negábamos a continuar allí pasando tan mal momento, y aún asi nos hicieron un descuento de diez dolares porque supuestamente reservamos por hotels.com y ese era el monto que ellos descontaban por la reserva. A esa hora tuvimos que salir a buscar un hotel para pasar la noche y lo que se suponía seria un fin de semana agradable se convirtió en un momento de estrés y disgustos.

Overall I had a great experience. People are very friendly and they allowed us to check in early. My only suggestion would be to provide more tools for the kitchen such as a coffee maker and more than one knife.
