This is a lovely little hidden gem, slightly off the beaten path, but close enough to the heart of Puerto Plata to still be convenient. The hotel is bright and welcoming, and the rooms are spacious, comfortable, and clean. The area is safe and walkable to shopping and numerous dining options, and the beach is a 25 minute walk away. The owners are wonderful people who genuinely care about the comfort of their guests. They provided lots of great information about the area, and they were very responsive to our needs and requests during our stay. To top it all off, they serve a delicious daily breakfast. We can't recommend Gaia Residence highly enough!
