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.

Hôtel bien situé pour profiter de Bayahibe

Séjour formidable à Bayahibe à l'hôtel El pulpo qui dispose d'un environnement très bien situé proche de tout. Des restaurants, de la plage, des boutiques, des excursions. L'hôtel est basic avec peu d'équipements mais avec une équipe formidable qui est arrangeante et au petit soin avec ses clients. Il serait bien de mettre à la disposition de la clientèle, un micro-onde ainsi q'une bouilloire qui changerait leurs conditions sur place. Le café et le thé sont servis le matin en quantité suffisante mais malheureusement pas de petit déjeuner, ni la possibilité de pouvoir déjeuner sur place. Les chambres sont propres avec un balcon ce qui est agréable pour se poser en extérieur après la plage. Pas de gel douche comme indiqué seulement un petit savonnette. Donc pensez à ramener les produits d'hygiène.

A very sketchy hotel

A bare bones basic hotel. They have free coffee in the morning, but nothing else. Rooms are small but enough, and very basic. The 2 guys working the “front desk” were pretty sketchy characters, and didn’t seem to know what they were doing. Our second night (of 2) there, they were hanging out drinking with some local gal in the parking lot below our balcony. One of them took her to one of the vacant rooms for a half hour or so, and then they both came out and all 3 got into a big noisy argument about her “not being paid enough”! Not a place we’ll stay at again.

A Cute Quick Quaint Place to Stay

It was a great stay for what it was intended for. Close to beach. Close to shops. Close to restaurants. The bed was comfortable, there was tv in the room. Only coffee in the morning. Do not expect breakfast. We had parking. Easy check in and the security person on sight was helpful! He gave great suggestions for the area. The property is well cared for. It was a clean hotel with a fan and air conditioning. Take pictures at the sign.

Maira is an excellent host, very frienly and relaxed! The rooms were simple but very clean and exactly what was needed. The hotel is close to Bayahibe port, walking distance so everything is close by. Perfect; safe, clean and convenient!
