I will highly recommend to stay by this hotel. We only stayed there for 3 nights. The location is super, the bungalow are extremely charming and of good taste, private pool and beach, staff extremely helpful and friendly: Marie & Philippe, the two owners: super. They were able to create a small corner of Paradise with an awesome garden and jungle, ideal for honeymooners or couples, silent, quite. All best qualities.

I am an American living here. I have been to many resorts and hotels discovering the island. This place is my favorite. My daughter found a tiny florescent green tree frog the first night. We heard them all around chirping all night. I slept out on a hammock as I could not get enough of the nature and waves lapping against the shore. Lizards were everywhere and my kids loved having their own room above us. The pool and jacuzzi were clean. The beach was small, but perfect for four little kids. They loved the climbing on the rock and chasing crabs. We went out on a boat and saw Taino caves, then spent the day at Cayo Levantado. My kids got a picture with a sea lion for $600 peso. Absolutely beautiful island with a jungle backdrop. We loved every minute of it and the hotel was quiet and the cooking French yummy! One beautiful aspect is the way they treated the Dominican workers; they were like family. We will return very soon to see whales! It is a place for adventures and kids! A hidden gem.

Stayed during our spring break, drove from Santo Domingo. Beautiful view, perfect for looking at the humpback whales during birthing season. Must know spanish or french to stay here, NO ENGLISH.

This was a wonderful, relaxing, private resort. It is very small, so sometimes, you feel like you have the place to yourself. There is a really nice, private beach on the property that was perfect for a lazy day lounging around the property.

The bungalows are in the jungle, so you may find a bug, but that's part of nature. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious in a relaxing setting. I think the negative reviewers were expecting an all-inclusive like you would find in Punta Cana. This hotel is so much better. I would much rather be isolated in nature with a private beach than in a loud, crowded, expensive hotel.

The owners are very accommodating. Marie scheduled excursions for us, like whale watching and a trip to the national park. One thing that is important to know is that the owners only speak Spanish and French, and the guided tours were from locals in Spanish. Everyone is very patient, though.

This location is the perfect jumping off point for beautiful beaches in the area. We rented a car in Santo Domingo and had a relatively easy drive up to the peninsula. Once at the hotel, you are within an hour of many picturesque, deserted beaches and laid-back beach towns. You are also a very short boat ride to Cayo Leventado, a island with a very pretty beach. You can go there after the boat excursions you take. We went to a different beach nearly every day for 7 days. There is good food at the hotel restaurant, and you are less than 30 minutes to two towns with a selection of restaurants.

I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for an isolated getaway. I thank the owners for making our stay in the Dominican Republic one of the most relaxing, secluded, and unique vacations we have had.
