We arrived at Casa Grande and were told they have no room for us. We had a reservation for 3 nights, confirmed by an email from the hotel, that we had with us, as well as by phone. They have not denied the validity of our reservation, which they had in their records. We interacted with the owner of the place who was rude and kept lying about "wonderful alternatives" for us on Playa Bonita while the reality was that no hotel at that site had available rooms. They ruined our vacation.

This hotel was recommended so we made a reservation for three nights. The best (only) good thing I can say about this place is that the food is good, which is an exception in the DR. The curtains in the room were torn with holes, the fixtures in the bathroom were hanging by a thread, the towel bar collapsed when you put any weight on it. The overhead ceiling fan rumbled. There were no blankets. We paid $120 a night and it was a dump. The beach in front of the hotel is nice but the water is so rough you really can't swim in it. Not to mention that it's on a road that is practically impassable by car. Go someplace else! The people who run the place also tried to rip us off by handing me a bill that was 30% overcharged. His comment to me when I questioned him about the amount was "Oh, I guess I made a mistake." Unfortunately for him, I speak French.

This is my second review of this place. The first one was not published. Had pix and everything. My biggest complaint is that it is overpriced for what it is. It's dilapidated. I'll post pix when this get's posted.

Great place, small hotel facing the beach and coconut trees. Spacious, clean and simple rooms. Great people, warm, communicative and honest. They want to make you feel good on vacations and it works. Food is fantastic, fresh and creative!
If you don't like resorts and big hotels, go there, you will find a quiet, good and friendly atmosphere.
Difficult to find them on the web, so here is their website http://www.casagrandebeachhotel.com
