10/10 Exceptional

Excellent hotel

Fantastic spot. My room was gorgeous and I’m a spoiled traveler. Felix is the go to guy to get things done. I wasn’t feeling well. His English is great as is Caesar. Some of the counter staff don’t speak English so that was a drawback. Great food. Great atmosphere.
David, 3-night trip

Excellent! One of the best establishments I stayed at in the DR. From the welcoming staff to the room service. They take a lot of pride in hosting their guests.
Yara, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The area near the hotel is very safe, and easy to get to by Uber. Only downside is that I found some ants in the room.
