The hotel was beautiful, and the staff was very accommodating. The food at Lucia restaurant was excellent, with a lot of options. However, if you were to try to dine outside of the hotel, there was actually very little to chose from.

We went to Casa Colonial for 3 nights for our anniversary after some research thru internet. The choice was 100% correct. It really was perfect choice from the staff,to the hotel ambiance, facilities, beach, the food and the other guest.

The property was top shape, Beatiful, Elegant, Peacefull, Relaxing with marmol wall to wall. The pool and rofftop Hot Jacuzzi was real different and private open 24hr.

Casa Colonial food was A LA Carta prepare by Chef Pablo from Barcelona Spain and his staff. We had the opportunity to meet him and follow his recomendations, the Shrimp Carpacho was excellent, the ceviche , the angus meat, the lobster and the desserts not to forget the breakfast "mangu". All very tastefull and well presented on the dish.

We also rent a car and drive around to Cabarrete and Sosua nearby beaches, beautiful places very noisy and full of activities. Driving was Crazy although not worst than other places we have been.

The spa facilities and gym was as perfect with very professional massagist.

This Boutique Hotel is one of a Kind.

What a place that is. I would say, one of a kind in Puerto Plata, the Punta Cana of the 80s and early 90s. The attention that my wife, my daughter and myself got since we reach was fantastic. The room, the restaurants, the service were five stars. Congratulations to the Garcia family for such a wonderful place in my beloved Dominican Republic. People like Karen at the main office, Juan and Agustin at the pool bar and Francisco at breakfast time make proud to be a Dominican. Hope to see you soon guys.

We went for 4 nights to escape a brutal winter and it was the perfect choice. The staff was incredibly warm, helpful and genuine, and made our stay even better. The property was beautiful, stylish and exceeded our expectations. Our room was elegant yet comfy, very spacious and immaculate. Sleeping with the breeze blowing from open french doors was such a treat. Daily breakfast was included, and more than generous (hint: if you're polite to the staff, they'll let you try lots of things on the menu). The spa was great, restaurant was delicious, rooftop pool and jacuzzis were a true oasis. My only nits to pick would be the cocktails - while tasty, we felt they weren't very potent and we ended up ordering more than we normally would have (which adds up) - and the steady stream of vendors on the beach. We spent the majority of our time at the property, but did venture out for a tour of some local villages which was a lot of fun. Keep in mind this is a boutique hotel, not a large resort - I wouldn't recommend it for families. But for a short, relaxing, romantic getaway, this was perfect and we'll be back.
