    The room was comfortable with lovely views, good shower pressure with hot water . The food was very good (delicious chicken mofongo) and breakfast on the second day was better than the first. Robert was very accommodating. The location was great

    We booked a room with 2 beds, as we were 2 solo friends traveling together. One was a large decent bed. The other was potentially the most uncomfortable bed I have ever sat on, a tiny pull out in the corner that the fan wouldn't reach. We ended up sleeping in the same bed, as the other would have been horrible.the grounds didn't match the pictures. No chairs by the pool, most were old and had been haphazardly drug out to the beach. The beach was dirty. It wouldn't be hard to clean up but we were there 3 days and it remained the same. The dining was a disaster. One night I ordered only soup and the other only a crepe. Both times it took OVER an hour to get our food, with no updates. The first time we asked about it after 45 minutes thinking maybe they had forgotten us and they said they were busy cause everyone came at once. (There were maybe 5 tables) The second night, there was only one other table, and regardless of if you make everything from scratch, a crepe could never take over an hour. We should have learned and eaten elsewhere. Of course they charged our food to the room, and when we went to pay at checkout they had charged us wrong and we had to argue over what we actually ordered. There are many better places in sosua and cabarete, and for cheaper.

    The rooms themselves were very cool. The whole place seemed like it was beautiful and cool 5 years ago, and no one cares anymore. Perhaps it was because the owner was out of town, it felt like those left in charge didn't care for the place.

    Everything at Eco Lodge works well. Breakfast is cook to order, The owner and staff are all very helpful arranging Kite lessons or other activities.. There is a convenient italian restaurant within the Perla Marina gated secure area. I stayed extra days at this relaxing, fun resort.

    Wifi was very poor/hardly functional, I had to connect to the next door hotel's guest wifi. Taxes were not included in the Booking quote, the final price was 20% more. They should make total fees more obvious upfront or include it in the Booking price. Location was not actually in Cabarete which I didn't realize, but 10-15 min away

    Nice room, setting, private beach

    The restaurant views are amazing, but the food was underwhelming. Go somewhere else for food and come back for drinks at the bar! The facilities are a bit more rustic (as expected from an eco lodge) but we had a fan instead of A/C which made the nights a bit sticky!

    The hotel is just beautiful! You can walk out straight into a quiet beach or walk the trails along the coast. There is a surf rental shop/school and cafe about 15 minutes away at Encuentro beach which is fantastic. Easy trip into Cabrete, or make use of the local restaurants in Perla Marina. There are lots of friendly animals (Musha the dog ♥️) and spots to hang out at the hotel. The staff really helped us with our travel options despite the language barrier!

    To reach Cabarate you need a Taxi or Guagua (it takes about 1hr walking and we are fit - even if the walk is very charming indeed). But therefore you have a very quiet space Host talked to us but obviously was not interested in any feedback, sadly.

    Delicious, fresh made breakfast (havent tried other food), lovely room as it is presented on pictures, less crowdy than Cabarete main beach, clean, staff friendly

    Cool water in shower, broken screen although I did not tell the manager, so maybe they would have fixed it! Ordering food is a bit of a wait but just plan for it before you are too hungry. Worth the wait!

    The breakfast was very good and a great selection of food. The cooks were very accommodating and lovely people. There are large containers of safe water to fill up water bottles. This resort was careful to wash lettus and fresh fruit with bottled water. I would still be careful not to eat lettuce ie salads. My friend and i both got sick, not sure what from. May not be from the food at this resort. Bring along some imodium or medication for this type of thing, it is very common even when you are careful. The cuisine is amazing and very fresh. Fruit is beyond amazing in taste so you might want to over indulge, thus stomach upset. The vistas are also amazing.

    Not necessarily disliked, but consider families and children staying there if that's not your vibe.

    This was a very unique hotel with open-air treehouse rooms. The beachfront location was also amazing! It was one of the coolest places I have personally stayed at. The location is about a 10-minute drive from the main part of Cabarete and about 45 min from Puerto Plata. Compared to other local places, it is a little pricey including the on-site restaurants but I'd say it's worth it.

    We stayed for 2 weeks so had time to observe how this resort operates. First of all, don’t count on manager of the resort, she is passive, stays in her office and focuses on her phone rather than on customers. Expect cold water or no water in the shower. The front door to our room wasn’t easy to open, you leave kids inside that can open the door without assistance of parents. To be fair staff they proposed another room three days before our leaving but we decided not to waist our time to change the room. On booking confirmation we were informed that we can pay by card, but we couldn’t as staff did not allow this option, we had make a bank transfer and swallow extra cost for the transfer.

    Location and beautiful beaches around. Walking distance to the surf beach. Very nice ladies who were preparing delicious breakfasts.

    First i got granted a completely different room. I has to emphasise how I booked a different one, until they gave me the standard that I booked. Sometimes no water in the cabin. Sometimes a bit loud music for the beautiful environment. The manager was not being nice at all and made me feel unwelcome. I only felt welcome thanks to all the other staff who were amazing.

    Most of the staff is very nice. I was aloud to use the kitchen too, which was great. Location is lovely and very quiet. The place is overall nice with several facilities. Breakfast is ok. For the price you'd expect a bit more, but omelets, yoghurt and fruit is available and sufficiently satisfying. Not a lot of options or variety.
