I really like this boutique hotel. The staff is very nice and friendly. I felt like I was in a tropical oasis with the beautiful well maintained garden. The beds are comfortable and room was very clean. I really loved sliding my door and walking straight to the pool. Breakfast was delicious every morning. The security guard always opened the door for us after arriving from our late dinners.. I highly recommend this boutique hotel if you want to peace and quiet and total relaxation.

Amazing oasis among walled-off private condos. A tranquil tropical garden around the pool, Latin music in a low volume lounge mode, and really unique artsy design of the 2-level rooms. Reviews complain about a walk to the town center in between concrete fended - yes, but that is a true Dominican experience as opposed to the artificial world of all-inclusive resorts. We like to combine both worlds on a single trip. Personnel is very courteous and welcoming. If you like latin dancing (salsa / bachata) and good cocktails, I recommend Mosquito bar - the very first venue you encounter when you walk. (Can also park nearby). It gets lively closer to midnight, with really good dancers. A little further along the shore the beach club restaurant is nice, and an ice-cream shop behind it

Nice but be aware.
First with the good: The grounds were beautiful as was the pool. The staff were kind and respectful however English was not easily understood. The bed was comfortable and the outside sitting area was lovely and quiet. The negatives: The shower head in unit2 had no pressure, the bracket holding the shower head was broken. Lots of ambient light at night making it challenging to sleep. The distance to the beach was more like 450m through a concrete walled laneway. Breakfast was small and plain but nicely served. Drinking water was not provided on a daily basis which should have been without an additional fee.

Gentle and friendly.
Warm and friendly staff. Good breakfast. Lovely pool. The hotel pics do not do justice to the garden or setting. 400 meter walk to the best beach around as it is wide and you can escape the terrible traffic noise from quads, motorbikes, mopeds, blowing engines. It is in a good quiet area too, so tranquil. I think our room is in the process of an update as the floor looked very worn and dirty, but was not…..It is just in need of a good paint like the rest of the bathroom. Mini bar, snacks and meals available. Good value for families too as there were 3 single beds up in the open area upstairs of the studio. Very decent and caring staff. They were all charming.
