Jarabacoa is a fantastic place to visit for its people, spring type of climate even in summer time, natural beauty, the waterfalls, the facilities in terms of supermarkets, restaurants and other businesses, etc.

The hotel and location were beautiful. The restaurant food was good for lunch and dinner and the portions were very large. The hotel offered a number of options for things to do, both included and optional. The rooms need to be upgraded as Superior is not an accurate description. Request a deluxe room.

We needed a place to stay in our trip from the South coast to the North coast. Casa Tranquila was a peace haven, facilities much more extensive that we expected, with a very homely feeling and a wonderful welcome (we were coming from bad experience with larger hotels where they kept you waiting 2h at reception) There is a very nice pool and a basketball court! This served us as a training area for the morning, we could run, exercise in the open air of the early morning hours, surrounded by greenery, birds chirping, the blue pool next to us, and all topped up by a great breakfast and a very cosy, nice conversation with some of the staff. The town is a 5 min drive and there are waterfalls to visit also within easy reach by car - perfect to arrive late evening, go for dinner in town, have a good breakfast, visit some wonderful nature and head off to the road again. Would definitely love to go there again!

Nice place to take a rest from the beaches in the DR, close to mountains and waterfalls. Recommended for nature and hiking lovers. Didn't try the rafting but I know you can try some extreme adventures in that area also. On the way there you can see different landscapes, it's a bit cooler there than on the seacost. Public transport works well (Caribe buses & guaguas), but if you want to go to the Jimenoa Waterfalls on your own with moto taxi, make sure the driver knows which waterfall you want to visit. :D

Jarabacoa is one of the centres of outdoors activities in DR but has surprisingly little infrastructure, especially for non-local tourists. Hotels and homestays are far and few between, most budget options are 15-20 minutes from the centre. The town itself is not that interesting. Dining is decent, however, with lots of restaurants available. You would be far better off with your own transportation here, but there is only one place where you can rent a scooter, not very cheaply. Don't come here only for the waterfalls - they are just okay, nothing special. However, if you like paragliding, rafting or just mountain roads, this town makes a great base.

We were on a self drive tour and Jarabacoa was for a short stopover through a mountainous are of Dominican Republic. Some of the attractions were via unpaved roads not allowed to be used in a rental car.
