The building overlooks the sea. The restaurant is built on a terrace above the small swimming pool, and a wooden pier juts out into the sea, ending in a kiosk, also made of wood. The 29 rooms (with bathroom and air conditioning) are charming. If the place is pleasant, the weekends are noisy and crowded it is better to book, or go elsewhere if you are looking for quiet.

Restaurant and resto-bar on the beach. French-speaking welcome. A tested and highly recommended address!

Situated 200 meters from the beach, Eden Tropical, with its lush green garden, is undoubtedly the best location in town, yet still very quiet. We appreciate the very affordable rates (in fact, the value for money is quite unbeatable in town) and the privacy offered by the bungalows, renovated in 2021, each of which can accommodate 2 to 3 people. We also like France and Jean-Jacques' friendly welcome and their theme evenings: whether serving couscous or cassoulet, the conviviality is always there!

Apartment-hotel, restaurant and Haitian art shop in a building nestled at the bottom of the main street. 10 rooms (2 to 4 people) and spacious apartments (max 6 people) fully equipped with kitchenette. All decorated in a style straight from Louisiana. However, the facilities would need to be refreshed. The interior courtyard is planted with trees and flowers. Room service, dry cleaning and catering are available to guests. The pizza and pasta restaurant is open every night except Tuesday; the homemade sorbets are delicious!

Located near the beach, a classic hotel of 156 comfortable rooms. Four international cuisine restaurants with themed buffets. Swimming pool and children's pool. A family option among the most economical of the complex.

The friendly staff also speak English. Weekly rates are available for travelers looking for a pied-à-terre. At the end of the day, Le Don Gaspard also offers fine Creole cuisine, or a drink at the bar.

Right in the center of town, in a lively and sometimes even noisy area, this is a good-value address in Montecristi. The hotel often plays host to groups and local sports teams. The forty or so rooms of varying capacities are all en suite and air-conditioned. The decor is sober, a little austere for some. Restaurant Brisa serves a variety of sandwiches, seafood, rice, soups, salads and more. Wifi access works well. A warm welcome.

Numerous activities and entertainment are available, as are the 4 restaurants (1 buffet and 3 à la carte), bars and casino. Swimming pool. Pleasant, informal atmosphere. A good option.

The Don Chucho hotel is an establishment without much charm, but which has the advantage of having about ten very simple, comfortable and well kept rooms, and especially having air conditioning. Each room is also equipped with a television and a private bathroom with hot and cold water. There is also a swimming pool (with a slide for the little ones), but also a cafeteria-restaurant serving typical and cheap dishes, as well as a very local discotheque. Perfect for a one-night stop.

A boutique that also offers an Internet centre and room rental.

At the exit of the village in the direction of Sosúa, the hotel's four small three-story buildings form an alley to the sea. There are about 40 rooms and suites with bath, cable TV, telephone, balcony, fan, and some with air conditioning, which is very pleasant when the temperature is high. The Kite Beach Hotel also has a small swimming pool with deckchairs and a bar-restaurant on the beach. As the name suggests, there is a kitesurfing schoolwith equipment rental.

The El Magnifico offers rooms of different capacities: from studios to penthouses , as well as 2 and 3 bedroom apartments with air conditioning and terrace or balcony.

What to spend a good stay in the peace, just near the beach and the city center. The establishment is managed by Gérard, a French-speaking Quebecer who welcomes you with a smile.

Completely renovated in 2015, this boutique hotel is a real favorite! Each of its twenty rooms is tastefully decorated with modern and elegant furniture, and is equipped with television, fan, mini-bar, air conditioning and safe. The bedding is of high quality.

They are housed in a two-storey building set in a tropical garden by the beach. Two restaurants, including the Lucia, a large indoor bar, an elevated swimming pool overlooking the beach, whirlpool baths, a sophisticated spa and a landscaped beach complete the hotel's services.

This hotel dominates the eastern part of the bay with its Mediterranean architecture. Built right on the beach, it offers a little less than 200 rooms with all comforts (air conditioning, TV, safe, terrace) in an all-inclusive formula. We recommend the rooms with a sumptuous view on the sea. A large buffet restaurant, three à la carte restaurants (Italian, Mexican and Asian), bars, multiple sports activities, two swimming pools, a Spa, a children's club, in short, ideal for family vacations. The French-speaking staff is particularly attentive.

Functional and pleasant, this hotel is located on the edge of the beautiful Playa Chiquita. Its 89 comfortable rooms and apartments overlook the pool for some. They have television, king size beds with comfortable bedding, mini-fridge and Wi-Fi. The international cuisine restaurant is open daily.

In the shade of the palm trees and facing the sea, nestles a pretty little white hotel with the look of a fairy tale house. Lima, Jamaica, or Damascus, nice names for these 18 charming, spacious and comfortable rooms and suites. All different, they have a specific and refined decoration (with air conditioning). Our favourites are the Granada, vast, sober and elegant, and the Ibiza, all white, and for families the Salvador suite which has three rooms. No telephone or television in the rooms, here, relaxation takes over!

Breakfast is served on site, in a warm, family atmosphere. There's also a bar-restaurant in a large, bright room, complete with pool table.

The hotel, one of the most pleasant and welcoming in Boca Chica, is housed in a modern white and wood double building with a cane roof; it is located in the quiet area of Boca Chica, beyond the Oasis Hamaca hotel, not far from the beach. It houses 20 well-equipped and comfortable housing units (rooms and apartments). At the back, there is an interior garden and a small swimming pool for relaxation.

Built in the 1930s and renovated in 2021 in a modern style, this hotel enjoys a prime location 300 meters from the city's main square. The Europa Hotel has two sections (one modern and the other much more colonial) between which are distributed 90 comfortable and spacious rooms and suites (with a balcony for those facing the street). The hotel also has a large rooftop terrace (where breakfast and cocktails are served in the evening) with a beautiful view of the city.

Here is a small hotel well located, not far from the colonial city. The Riazor offers about fifty rooms spread over four floors. The rooms, comfortable and not lacking anything, display a very Dominican style. A small parking lot, very appreciable if you travel by car, completes the offer of the establishment. Let's not forget to mention the Riazor restaurant, located right next to the hotel, which offers a rather tasty Dominican and international cuisine. The reception is open 24 hours a day and offers a very professional service.

This beautiful hotel is located in the former home of President Báez. It has 75 comfortable, well-decorated, if somewhat cramped, rooms. The hotel's swimming pool, surrounded by deckchairs, is pleasant to swim in, although it's relatively quiet as the avenue is very busy. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the well-equipped fitness room with quality equipment. The hotel also has a bar-restaurant serving high-quality Dominican and international cuisine. A friendly welcome at this central address.

Central, but without charm, a small functional hotel with friendly service. Set of 22 rooms, some of them limited, with air conditioning or fan and TV for $ 25 for 2 people. No breakfast.

Located in the heart of the business district, this modern hotel offers top-quality services. There is a choice of 216 very comfortable rooms and suites, all equipped with quality bedding and all the usual amenities (AC, TV, minibar, etc.). The hotel, owned by the Spanish Barcelo group, boasts a pleasant swimming pool with a whirlpool on the terrace, a gym equipped mainly with elliptical bikes and small dumbbells, a spa, bars and a renowned Japanese restaurant.

Situated in a quiet area of the city, on the edge of Seawall, a little away from the tourist attractions, but close to the business districts, the hotel has 220 rooms with classical and pleasant decor (minibar, satellite TV). For businessmen, the Ejecutivo floor offers personalized services (business room with internet access, business-center, special lounges…). The hotel has a large swimming pool in the heart of a beautiful garden, a fitness centre and three tennis courts in the evening. The service is impeccable. Two restaurants (the Alcazar and the Cafetal, for sophisticated Italian cuisine), two bars (Marrakech and Las Palmas with orchestra in the evening) and a casino complete the whole.

Part of the Marriott chain, the hotel is strategically located overlooking the Caribbean Sea and close to the colonial center. The 355-room complex is extensive: it includes bars, several restaurants offering different cuisines, a superb swimming pool and a 24-hour casino. The hotel, where scenes from Sydney Pollack's 1991 film Havana were filmed, is the capital's place to stay for VIPs. It offers top-quality service worthy of its category. Very professional welcome.

Very well located, just behind the Parc de l'Independencia, this apart-hotel is an ideal option if you stay long in the capital or if you travel with family. To choose: some 5 rooms (cable television, telephone) or apartments up to people (two bedrooms, kitchen, lounge), swimming pool, restaurant of Dominican and international cuisine, room-service and change, parking, garden, and warm welcome. Wi-Fi.

Close to the border and a few steps from the port, here is a small hotel of recent construction which will suit visitors looking for an economical address. It offers about fifteen fairly spacious rooms distributed around a central courtyard (air conditioning and hot water). There is also an unpretentious restaurant on site. Feel free to see several rooms before choosing, as they are not all equal. Garden and WiFi in the common areas.

For nature lovers, this eco-lodge is sure to please. Difficult to access, you'll need a 4x4 (we'll pick you up in Paraiso) to reach this sanctuary of peace and serenity. On site, you have the choice of staying in tree houses (with a breathtaking view of the wilderness and river) or bamboo lodges. The Rancho also offers hiking, horseback riding and many other activities, so you'll never be bored! A magnificent site for a unique experience.

Just a short distance from the Haitian border. This modest hotel with tropical charm could be better maintained, but it offers sufficient comfort for a night or two spent near the Enriquillo lago, the largest salt water lake in the Caribbean. On the spot, terrace, large swimming pool, shower, air-conditioning (when it works!). The rooms are small, with one bed, and nothing more. The family atmosphere is rather pleasant. We will also enjoy a restaurant of Creole cuisine, very correct, but without more.

You will find few accommodation options in this part of the island, the place being very isolated. Among them, this "small family hotel" of about fifteen unpretentious rooms located in La Descubierta, a modest agricultural village in the province of Independecia, nestled 240 km from the capital. The hotel's main assets are its attractive price and its proximity to Lake Enriquillo, a large natural refuge populated by iguanas and numerous crocodiles. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, electricity and running water.

We will appreciate the family atmosphere of this small traditional Creole style hotel located at the entrance of La Descubierta. Here again, the comfort is simple, but sufficient to spend the night north of the big lake Enriquillo. The rooms, very cramped, are relatively well kept. They are also equipped with fans. On the other hand, there is no hot water in the bathrooms, which offer a spartan comfort. In short, basic, but very cheap. Breakfast is served on request and at an extra cost. Friendly welcome.

Hotel recommended for small budgets and for one night maximum. Although the small family home offers a charming welcome and clean rooms, the residence and facilities are starting to look old. So don't expect too much comfort or luxury at Las Magnolias. Its location, right in the center of Barahona, and its price, however, make it an option to consider if you want to save money. No on-site breakfast, but a cafecito on the first floor will get your day off to a good start.

This 3 star hotel is located in a nice little modern building facing the sea, about three minutes from the beach. It offers about 30 rooms with Caribbean blue walls, comfortable bedding, air conditioning, bathroom with hot water, television and WiFi. Outside, the hotel has a small terrace for sunbathing and enjoying the hot tub. There are plenty of places to relax. The restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner, but the food here is not exceptional. Helpful staff.

Built directly on the beach, this pretty white building in traditional tropical style is one of the oldest in the region. The rooms are comfortable, but the equipment is starting to wear out (check that the air-conditioning works in your room). Balconies with sea or mountain views. There's a large swimming pool for adults and a smaller one for children, as well as a bar-restaurant (food only). You'll also enjoy private access to a pleasant sandy beach frequented by families at weekends.

The hotel has forty rooms, all with air conditioning, television, private bathroom with hot water, mini bar, internet access... The decoration leaves a little to be desired, but the rooms are nevertheless clean. The establishment also has a restaurant that combines local and international specialties. A bar completes the offer of the establishment where one comes to have a drink at the end of the day. Free parking on site. Pleasant welcome and service. One of the best accommodation options in San Juan.

This is a hotel-restaurant with 33 functional rooms equipped with cable TV, fan or air conditioning, bathroom with hot water and comfortable bedding. Internet access is only available in the common areas (subject to change). The D'Angel's restaurant offers a very good local and international cuisine. This establishment remains the most comfortable option in town. The reception is friendly and available and the price/quality ratio is excellent. Parking.

Nothing seems to have changed in this hotel since its construction, nevertheless, it remains comfortable. Its rooms are rather old-fashioned in style, but have pleasant beds, air conditioning, television, Internet connection... The restaurant of the Maguana serves a simple Dominican kitchen, but rather tasty. The reception is rather warm and available. You will choose to stay in this hotel if you do not find any other option available, or for one night only. Free and ample parking is available on site.

Surprising, yet true: there is something of the atmosphere of the Alps here: wooden chalets of Swiss architecture, the shade and coolness of the conifers, the smell of the mountains... The hotel complex is spread out over a huge hilly property planted with fir trees. It consists of about fifty private chalets belonging to Europeans and Dominicans, as well as chalets housing apartments for rent. The communal facilities (restaurant, swimming pool, tennis court and mini-market) create a friendly village atmosphere.

The panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and the Cibao region is beautiful. In all, Camp David Ranch has 18 rooms with bathroom, balcony, air conditioning, television and wifi. The owner has a collector's soul since he bought an impressive quantity of Jeeps and private cars that belonged to the dictator Trujillo. He was thus able to open a small museum of old cars. For the meals, a restaurant of classic Dominican kitchen with a beautiful wine cellar.

The hotel is located on a wide, busy road and is a little off-centre, but it is noisy. The rooms and suites, arranged around an interior patio, are however spacious, clean and comfortable. They are equipped with a choice of single or double beds, air conditioning, a mini bar, a refrigerator and quality bedding. However, there is no television for those who would like it. On the spot, a nice swimming pool surrounded by deckchairs and a casino for the most gamblers among you. Professional welcome.
