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.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms feature lovely aesthetics with beautiful finishes and a spacious bathroom, yet they appear shabbier in reality compared to photos. The hatch allowing a glimpse of the sea adds a charming touch.

Service

7.0

The service was top-notch, with the staff always aiming to enhance our stay. The food served was delicious, complemented by a million-dollar view. However, under the new owner, the service was subpar, demanding upfront cash payment and displaying a narrow-minded attitude.

Location

6.0

The location is adequate, close to Barahona for exploring the southwest of the Dominican Republic. Although the property is currently under restoration, it offers a nice setting. However, the actual setting may not match the advertised one, and the path to the tiny beach might feel unsafe to some.

Dining

The dining experience was excellent, offering a great selection of dishes. The restaurant staff exemplified excellent service, enhancing the overall stay. The fried rice was particularly delightful. The overall price and value for the dining experience were really good but could be improved with further menu choices.
