Search hotels in Juan Dolio

I've stayed in both the "bad" and the "good" parts of Juan Dolio and cannot recommend either. The beaches in this area are far too dirty, for one, and the local grocery shops (colmado) have a very poor, limited selection of vegetables and meat. This was my third Dominican Republic vacation, and if I return, I will be going to the Bayahibe area again (especially Cadaques Caribe).

1 -The performance area must have the option indoors in case it rains or bad weather 2- The disco / dance and karaoke area is very very small to be a resort where you will enjoy, celebrate and dance! On the occasion we went (December 6 to 13) the area for those purposes was a small bar, the area was very nice but there was no room for more than 15 people there, and our group was 21! 3-maybe we went at the time of remodeling, because where was the casino? I never heard any promotion or invitation

I have been coming to Juan Dolio for over 10 years and I am afraid it is time to move on. I believe the pandemic has hit this area pretty hard and many local places have closed. I was here a year ago and I believe that things are worse now. Fewer tourists now, buildings less well maintained. I did not feel as safe as I used to feel around town.

Timeshare style apartments. Previous guests on our stay were disgusting and thankfully one cleaner sorted everything out. VERY BASIC accommodation, but okay for two nights or a very rustic holiday as easy access to pool and beach for kids.

White sand and clear water. You could see fish while swimming, giving young kids a great encouragement to swim. This is an artificial beach, and as such is not as nice as a natural beach. It was a little dirty with algae, not a lot of space to swim before you run into the reef and barriers.

Juan Dolio, a small beach town, low key, nothing uberly modern or out of the ordinary and that is what makes it really nice since it is not overcrowded with your typical tourist, just the exact amount of locals and foreign. Spite what people say, I felt very safe.
