Room was beautiful and clean, with a terrace facing the ocean and a hammock. We were there during low season (June) so it was very quiet which was lovely for us as we wanted to rest and recharge. People looking for a party might prefer somewhere else though. There was a lovely breakfast included. The staff was so kind and helpful, and even arranged an airport transfer for us 3 hours away to Santo Domingo. We are already dreaming about coming back!

Very nice hotel in Las Galaras

Lovely location right on the water, with a great beach (la Playita) a short 10 minute walk away. Complementary yoga in the morning was a highlight. Town unfortunately has way too much noisy and polluting traffic as is the case throughout Samana peninsula, but the hotel is super nice.

Relax to the Max

Such a beautiful property! The restaurant was delicious. yoga was amazing. A perfect place to relax. Everyone was helpful and kind. The only disappointment was that there is no beach to enjoy. When the tide is out there is a small patch of sand. We would definitely stay there again!

Small walk to town; property is beautiful. Our rooms a bit dated, and we couldnt figure out the shower to get hot, water barely came out. The instructions, seemed outdated, so the buttons didnt work. One of our rooms A/C leaked the last night, all of our bags that we left on the floor and also the Chair. luckily our passports werent damaged. I expected a credit or our troubles, but none was offered. Front desk wasnt always staffed so couldnt get bottled waters or ask for help with the A/C; Food was great and Bar staff friendly. The grounds and iew are absolutely beautiful. Would return again though

We had a lovely stay at this charming Colonial style beachfront hotel. A highlight was also the charming restaurant which had many vegetarian and vegan options which can be hard to find in this region. Our room was spacious as well aa the terrace with lovely waterfront views. Highly recommend to anyone considering this hotel.

I was sad to arrive after dark and leave in the morning after only one night! What a beautiful property. The rooms are spacious, everything was clean, staff were very helpful. The food was good and reasonably priced, and the restaurant staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The only improvement I could see is that some soft furnishings - throw pillows etc. - looked like they could use replacement or cleanable covers (maybe they can be/are cleaned but it was hard to tell). Can't wait to return next year!

So here's the pros's and then the cons. It's a beautiful and tranquil well kept property with its own little beach. The pool was clean. The rooms face the ocean with a beautiful view and the air conditioning worked well. The employees were super nice/kind and the breakfast was excellent. There were intermittent problems with the water and wifi while we there, but they were fixed in an hour or two. One thing that needs to be improved is that the bed and wicker chairs in the room and on the balcony were older and uncomfortable. Also, with the rooms being in a hot high humidity environment and not running the air conditioning when vacant, there is a smell of mould when you enter the room. We also found that despite going in low season, the price after local taxes and charging for a second person ended up being the same as an all inclusive. I would recommend it for the pretty location and friendly service, but not for the comfort of the room and price.

No dejan pagar mediante reserva online y después al llegar a uno le cobran con un tipo de cambio que ellos deciden y que no es el oficial, sino que utilizan el que a ellos les parece. Mi reserva era por 711 USD 3 noches y acabé pagando con mi tarjeta en dólares 745. Inicialmente me querían cobrar 755. No es una gran cantidad pero es incómodo que a uno le quieran cobrar lo que ellos quieren y no lo que uno reservó. Su respuesta fue “que ellos lo hacen así y nadie se queja”. Por otro lado la presión de agua era muy baja en la habitación lo cual hacía muy difícil regular la temperatura del agua y no dejan ni si quiera hablar a partir de las 10 de la noche. No podíamos estar hablando en el balcón en pareja, sin música, porque se quejaban los vecinos. Si vas tienes que tener en cuenta que vas poco más o menos a un retiro espiritual, si es lo que quieres

Super fint og hyggeligt lille hotel i gåafstand til restauranter. Vi havde et dejligt ophold. Man kan godt se at det er af ældre dato, men det har sin charme. Bruseren kunne godt trænge til at blive skiftet, men ellers har jeg ikke noget negativt at sige.
