nice place for the independent traveller
Traveler Review By: Anonymous from England, UK
Date of Visit: February 2009
This is a place if you want to experience life in a domincan town and still be close to some of the best remote beaches in dominican republic. The house has a great terrace and view of the bay, is open to the breezes (no glass windows, just slatted doors the whole way along the front of the house) no AC is needed. You can walk to the small beach of the hotel nearby or travel by car / motorconche to some great beaches like Rincon (my favorite...) You can walk to the local market which has great fruit, vegetables and fresh fish. It was a little noisy - you could hear music in the evenings, and in february independence celebrations, semana santa (easter) there is a small funfair which generates noise (according to Mario the helpful caretaker of the house). Its not for someone looking for luxury or a exclusive experience - but if you want a pleasant place to experience dominican republic at a reasonable price and avoid the feeling of being a tourist removed from the locals - this is pretty unique. Mario also rents motorbikes just by the house, which we rented to tour the peninsula.
