    The rooms were cash only. I didn’t know that and couldn’t cover it all. The owner worked with me and processed my card through another merchant. The breakfast was good. Full plate Dominican breakfast, eggs, meat, fresh fruit.

    The location is good, however food options are very limited around, you will either need to go west o Punta Rucia or south to Estero Hondo. Other than that, the place is good situated if you want to go to Cayo Arena, place is about 5mins drive to the where the boats are.

    The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was great and the view of the place is just perfect to have a relaxing time.

    We asked for blankets and were giving a sheet so it was a bit cool some nights.

    All of it! 1. The beach, it was quiet and beautiful steps from our room across the road. A beautiful, unoccupied long stretch to walk each day, the most incredible sunrises happened in front of our eyes. It is amazing to fall asleep to the sound of the waves and a warm, gentle breeze every night 💕 2. Location was perfect. We wanted peace and tranquility, and this beautiful place has it! It's approximately 2km from the main street of Punta Rucia and all the hustle and bustle. At the end of our road was a Manatee sanctuary Linos Pizza-amazing! You must try this place. From the street you can not tell there is a restaurant. As you walk through, it opens up onto the beach. Very reasonable price. One pizza was plenty for 2. We had a table at the edge of the beach and witnessed a magnificent sunset. Soooo good-we went 2 times. Damaris Resto-local owners are so sweet, and they will make you fresh seafood and fried sweet potatoes or plantains. Again, it is a very reasonable price. Blue Island hotel resto-drive through the main road of Punta Rucia to the end and turn right. If you crave americanized food, this is the place. Again, the freshest seafood linguini and shrimp with coconut pie. More expensive here, price matched to Canadian prices. The local mercado(grocery)- sweet little grocery for some typical needs. Water, coffee, buns, cheese, chocolate, cold beer, evaporated milk. RUM :) Reasonable price. Be sure to go to Maritires restaurant ask for Anderson and book the boat rise to Playa Arena Paradise Island for 25$ US dollars ...so much fun! 3. The WiFi and movies in our room. So nice to be able to use the wifi for free! Not like the reaorts that charge +++$$ 4. The daily breakfast-wonderfully made with scrambled eggs, fresh fruit and avocado tomato cucumber and deli meats. 5. The hosts! Johan the owner was wonderful and provided lots of local tips for us to explore. Aurora made us an incredible breakfast each morning with a smile. We will go back again!

    The owner told us we would get a discount if we paid with cash, but we could pay with a card only. We were surprised to see a higher price charged than what stated on booking. When we contacted him, he told us he had said there was an extra fee for paying by card. We were not aware of this since booking stated we could pay with a cash or card. He did not want to refund us the extra amount charged and acted quite rudely over the phone. It’s a shame because our stay was great until that moment.

    we were there in September, the yard was overgrown with grass and weeds, as if they didn't care about any quality of the environment

    Position, close to ocean. Breakfest was decent.

    I likes the whole thing. It could be better by putting little fridges in all of the rooms (helps the costumer stay longer) and adding a bed comforter to sleep at night. It gets cold. Also put some bathroom rugs, it’s very uncomfortable to take a 🚿 and put your wet feet on the floor.

    Spacious, very clean rooms and the fact that they offer breakfast. The view it’s amazing. Very relaxing place.
