Great Value for Money

Good location close to the main street with some great local restaurants and far enough away from the all-inclusives. About a 10-ish minute walk to the beach. This isn't a 5 star resort, but for the price for the area you can't go wrong. Clean, comfortable and the rooms were spacious with a/c, good hot water and nice balconies/patios and the pool and landscaped areas are nice. They have some room to improve, in that this place has so much potential, but it feels like they're working on it.

Despite hotel fire, it was nice.

I was only able to stay 1 night do to a destructive fire that happened the day after my arrival. It was a nice hotel, staff was very friendly despite my minimal comprehension and ability to speak the local language. I could be persuaded to return of the hotel was restored and necessary fire suppression upgrade measures where made.

No frills, comfortable, and pleasing hotel.

For those who do not know the area, this hotel is located directly to the east of the entrance to Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach. To get to the beach, you have to walk down the street (Av Eladia) and then turn onto the public beach. It's about a 10 minute walk, and the street is generally clean. The people who own the shops along the street are very loud and bother you to buy something each time you walk by. Unless you're planning on actually buying something, ignore them at all costs! They'll drag you into the shops and give you rum to sip and pester you. The public beach is so-so. The water is clean and gorgeous, but the sand is full of sticks and cigarette butts. Vendors can be found along the beach. We weren't sure where to buy food in the little town of Bayahibe, but a few places had bread, jam, drinks, etc. A few restaurants are also present, but be aware that meat, cheese, and things like chocolate are expensive in US standards. The resort beaches are phenomenal however, and you can walk along the shore (DR law prevents resorts from blocking off their beaches). However if you get too far inland you might be kicked out if you don't have one of their orange wristbands (you can buy a day pass at viva wyndham to access the resort). If you came for the beach, sun, and to relax without any frilly delicacies, this is the place to go. Also, cute, tasty, and inexpensive italian restaurant is inside the hotel! Plenty of excursions to book from shops nearby as well.

Low-budget accomodations but beautiful beach

This hotel is for a bare-budget stay in a fun little DR village. There is a beautiful beach with free public parking not very far from the hotel. There is an on-site Italian restaraunt that is open for dinner only that does get filled up due to it's authentic cuisine.There is also a small cafe on-site with limited menu. Very little English is spoken at the hotel, mostly DR in one of it's many dialects, Italian and Spanish

Great restaurant, not so great rooms.

No english speaking staff, hard beds, no hot water. The restaurant had great character! I'd stop in to eat there, but stay somewhere else next time. Then again, the price was unbeatable.

Great deal for the money and cultural experience

About me: I was on a solo scuba diving adventure. I stayed at this hotel for its cost and proximity to the dive shop on the beach. The hotel is older construction but has been renovated. This is not 5-star. Everything worked fine except the TV which had a fuzzy signal. The in-ground pool is well-maintained and I highly recommend the restaurant for its good food and thatched open-air "wine cellar" motif. Even when it's raining, it feels so comfortable. In the town, also visit the restaurant La Cueva and say Hi to Paula (owner). She is so friendly. First impressions might be intimidating as many men stand in the small streets trying to sell you their particular wares. Remember, tourism is their source of income. But if you take a little time to speak with them, you will find all of them harmless and friendly (and maybe a little pushy to make a sale).

This place is a motel

Staff was very nice and very helpful. Throughout the 10 days we stayed there, we noticed this place was more of a motel than a hotel. People would come and go or would stayed a few hours. Very disappointed with Expedia to even recommend this as a place to stay at punta cana, when this is about 40 miles away from punta cana.

In Cabana Elke you can feel right at home!

Very peaceful place, with friendly staff. A humble environment, makes you feel like you're at some relative's beach house. You can sleep all day if you want and you will not be disturbed. Everything is clean and simple. There is a very nice pool which is usually empty for you. You can grab a a bike (for free) and go for a spin around town. Everything is different from big hotels where I sometimes feel like treated as an intruder.
