The staff was the highlight of my stay and Michel was very kind and professional.

Richard United States of America

We booked the Beach Bungalow for two nights at the Encuentro Surf Lodge, one being NYE. The bungalow itself was beautiful, spacious and at a really good location, less than 2 min walk from the Hideaway beach. We loved the little attention for details like the fresh flowers. The pool is huge as it's only shared with two other bungalows, that was great. Wifi is perfect, which was important as we work online while travelling. The staff is super welcoming and friendly and whenever we had a question, it got answered.

Sebastian Austria

Great value stay. Beautifully restored facilities in a beautiful location

Jamie Australia

Breakfast was great, the ecofriendly environment and design of the facilities with friendly reminders to help with saving energy. Beach was too windy, perfect for surfers but not to just relax in the water. Is good to drive around the streets of the hotel, other beach spots appear that are more private and friendly to non surfers.

Cristobal Dominican Republic

The best thing about this hotel is the staff, and that’s saying a lot because everything here is amazing. The staff is incredibly kind, accommodating, and fun. The food here ... awesome, to say the least! The pool is very clean and a great place to relax. The studio rooms are very clean and comfortable and the mini kitchen is a great value added to this property and allows for more independence on long stays (we were there for about a month). Walking distance to encuentro beach. We will absolutely be back!

Marie United States of America

Super clean. Friendly staff. Well situated and ultra peaceful.

Alex Dominican Republic

I stayed in the bungalow. The staff were lovely, the location was perfect, and the rooms seemed new and clean. The small kitchen was convenient, and the lighting of the room was great.

Jeffrey United States of America

Amazing beach access from the bungalows and a short walk from the main lodge. Surf doesn't get much better right out the front door. Very secluded. The food was GREAT! Staff was very welcoming and the place is very well kept.

Kurt United States of America

The staff is amazing, the room is a little small but very comfortable, the breakfast is gooooood!

Ricardo Dominican Republic

Location to surfing. The staff gave great service
