Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The staff was awesome but the property has 1 to infinity problems/issues. We were switched to 3 different rooms due to some type of non working equipment.. For example, first room the toilet was leaking on to the floor. Second room the shower apparatus was unproperly installed and was falling apart while dropping rust pieces on the shower floor. The hot water doesn't work. The continental breakfast should be called snack for a 5 year old kid. If it wasn't for the staff we would have left to another hotel.
Place is close to Isla Saona excursions (2 blocks). Breakfast was advertised as continental but they great coffee, pan cakes, omelet, and ham and cheese sandwich. The staff at the hotel was super friendly
Incredibly helpful staff. Beautiful, clean and comfortable rooms (though nowhere at all to hang your towels and no almost no space around the sink). Modern building in the absolute centre of Bayahibe. Lovely breakfast and venue for breakfast, right on the water.
The pool was closed for renovations and we were never informed, which was disappointing. But they did arrange transport to their sister hotel in Dominicus with a pool, at least.
Bed was too hard , food was Ok. Staff was friendly and fun

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The bedroom was nice, but the outlets didnt work and the bathtub water was crazy it pass from cool from hot in seconds.
There was a lot of noise very early in the morning, because they were remodeling and start to work too ealy.
The pool was empty and they never mentioned before arrival, so it was really frustrated and because of the remodelation there was a lot of dust and my husband develop an alergic. The place was dirty.
If they clean the place and finish the remodeling, i think would be a nice place. The bedroom has ocean view, really beautiful and is located near to several restaurants with good food. The beach is 15 min walking and you can take tours to others island thar are nearby.
Terrible from the moment of arrival! You have to walk down the road to their restaurant to pay by card as the one at reception doesn't work! A known problem they have that they haven't bothered to fix.
The room we booked was the upgraded one and the toilet was broken, the sink tap was loose, cracked tiles, new plug sockets didn't work.
The breakfast is a joke! There is only 5 tables so get up early or you don't have a seat! All different varieties of cheap plastic. Not enough staff and you need to ask for everything, no kind of organisation at all.
No sign of a manager or supervisor of any sort. It's badly run hotels like these that give the area a bad name!
Shame on the owner
Breakfast included wasn’t amazing… eggs, bread/ham w fruits. Staff doesn’t all speak English.
The hotel isn’t right on the beach- probably 10mins walk. Beach does have a lot of glass around / need to be careful.
Great restaurants around.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Friendly and helpful staff good and secure parking close to everything. Although they did say they had bar service it was extremely limited. But of course, you could walk across the street and bring your Own and sit by the pool.
Stayed as a single person for 1 night. The property seems to be renovated recently and it’s like the pictures shown. Clean rooms and overall a good place to stay. I gave it 4 star because the rooms are not sound proof and the room I had was close to the reception so there was a lot of noise
Desayuno completo, tienen opciones de restaurantes para comida y cena con descuento para los huespedes. Esta muy cerca de todo y a media cuadra de la playa
