Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were modern and fresh, with beautiful aesthetics, a spacious bathroom, and lovely finishes. The service was excellent, with staff always willing to make our stay the best. The location was nice, but the property was still under construction. The dining experience was great, especially the staff at the restaurant. Overall, a pleasant experience with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers an extremely clean room, but the underground design with limited sea views in certain areas could be a downside. The service, though not perfect at times, is always friendly and accommodating. The location is nice for exploring the southwestern Dominican with a tiny beach down a sketchy path. The dining experience is really good, with delicious food but with thin crispy fries that may not suit everyone's taste.
The hotel is nestled in a decent location, currently undergoing restoration, with the property showcasing a mix of nice and shabby elements. While the proximity to the public beach is a plus for excursions, access to a tiny beach through a sketchy path may not suit all guests.
