Great place indeed. It meet and exceeded my expectations; cleanliness and appearance of the place is beyond beautiful. Provide great service plus you get to see and enjoy unique Dominican style furnitures and accommodations with a modern look. You also get to taste juices and fruits right from the property. And to finish you get the welcomes from Don Cesar and his his wife themselves. Great family environment!

Nice property

Nicely kept country villas. Air conditioning and hot water are a premium for the area and they have it. Our villa had 3 queen beds and nice size bathroom. Lots of fruit plants in the property.

This is a good place to rest and enjoy nature/tranquility around you. There is no TV and the pool needs to be updated. But it is a beautiful place to enjoy with family. We are planning to go back.

Greenest hotel I've ever seen

RDC... This hotel is hard to find. I'll make it easy. Maybe take a street map photo before arriving. Going south out of Barahona on the coastal road (the Malicon), you'll cross 3 LONG orange bridges (100 yards), so we'll use them to navigate. Two of the bridges are short in height, about 1 yard. We will call them SHORT-ht. The other is 10 yards tall, we'll call it TALL. You will cross in this order, SHORT-ht...TALL...SHORT-ht. The hotel is 30 km from the last building in Barahona, an Isla Gas Station on the right (it will be obvious). At 15 km...cross first SMALL-ht bridge, quickly there will be a FORK in road...veer right, slight uphill the rest of the way. 20 km...cross TALL bridge. Turns will get a little tighter now. 26 km (I think)....road gradually straightens and widens. 29.7 km...last SMALL-ht bridge. 30 km...on right is light-blue-n-white Police Station with many flags, turn right (before station), then IMMEDIATE right again, (now 1 minute to hotel) up dirt road through 2 gates and you're there. No hot water first night, good after that. Low water pressure at times. Great service. Beautiful scenery. No TV. Wifi can b slow. 2 hammocks, pool, outdoor restaurant, great food!! Clean...spotless. Maid makes up bed differently every day. Firm mattress, I like soft, but slept well. You get a small balcony. 30% more than price clicked for a hotel...taxes. U might want max auto insurance. Motorcycles pass in either direction on either side of you!!

el primer fallo fue cuando llegamos al hotel ,me dice la persona que me recibio que tengo que pagar y le digo que como asi si yo pague por la aplicacion me dice que no quela aplicacion no me cobro que tengo que pagarle a ella pues le digo que boy a pagar con mi tarjeta ,me dice que tampoco que es en efectivo , le pague en efectivo .me llevo a la habitacion y no era para nada lo que muestra las fotos estaba sucia tenia mal olor las camas olian mal y el aire no funcionaba bien y no tenian agua para tomar en la habitacion ,cuando boy y le digo que me de el wifi que no que esta daƑado ,nos cambiamos para banarnos en la picina y no estaba llena y eso que llegamos dos horas mas tarde de la entrega no tienen ningun entrenimiento en el establecimiento aparte de la picina nisiquiera television, el lugar completo se ve descuidado para el precio que tiene el desayuno te dan lo que ellos quieran solo asen una sola cosa si te gusta te lo comes y si no te quedas sin desayunar ,no hay restaurantes sercas solo negocios locales no muy agradables , fue una muy mala experiecia

Zuerst war nur Barzahlung möglich und der Automat im Dorf hat nicht funktioniert sodass man 45 min nach Barahona fahren musste. Dafür war leider nie Wechselgeld verfügbar wenn man in größeren Scheinen zählen wollte. Einmal hatten wir ein Guthaben von 250 Pesos bestellten 4 Bier den Abend was 800 Pesos kostet. Abzüglich der 250 macht das ja 550 Pesos, doch heute sollten es dann 600 sein. Fühlten uns verarscht und das ziemlich offensichtlich. Als wir dann zum Essen gehen wollten und uns was ausgesucht haben, mussten wir erfahren das es dass leider nicht gibt. Fast alles auf der Karte war nicht verfügbar. Das Frühstück war ein Witz. Am ersten Tag gab es Sandwich mit Ei am zweiten Tag 1 Rührei (also wirklich nur 1 Ei) mit ungetoasteten Toast. Da dies natürlich nicht reichte bestellten wir nach und man musste es bezahlen. Trotz des stolzen Preis, gab es keinen täglichen Reinigungsdienst. Wir reisten Samstag an und Abends war eine mega Party die einen natürlich kaum schlafen ließ. Am Folgetag gab es dann eine Geburtstagsveranstaltung einer 8 jährigen mit ca 30 Gästen, die sich sichtlich wohl in der Anlage gefühlt haben und den Pool zu ihrem machten. Die Anlage an sich ist sehr schön, Zimmer ok aber sehr sehr einfach.Das ausgewiesene WLAN gab es so nicht und gab es nur auf mehrmaliger Nachfrage.
