This hotel is definitely located in a wonderful location for tourists. The beach is 2 minutes walk, and it is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever saw. Plenty of excursions to do on the beach. I highly recommend that you use cash if you do decide to do an excursion, and also negotiate because they definitely up charge. As a solo female traveler, I must say that the hotel is very safe. There is security that guard the gates at night. I also fell asleep a few nights with the keys left in the door and no one bothered me. The staff were SUPER friendly. Omg they are very kind and beautiful. Highly appreciate their hospitality. The reason why I booked this hotel is because upon reading the reviews, it stated that the hotel staff were all females and were super nice. As a solo traveler my safety comes first, so when I read that the hotel staff was all females and friendly, i immediately booked. Remember I said this is a hotel and not a resort, therefore there is a few amenities that are missing… the room doesn’t have a tv which is find with me because I was outside the whole time. It also doesn’t have a fridge, which is fine with me because there are so many restaurants and authentic Dominican food for only $10 so why keep left overs. And the do not have a full body mirror, which was kind of a blow but they do have a mirror in the bathroom. If you want to experience Dominican without being trap in a resort, or a baddie on a budget, book this hotel… It’s dope FR!
