Dominican RepublicThis place is very romantic... Attention to details shined like the Sun for me.. It is a treasure hidden off of the main street. The search was well worth the discovery..

CanadaBreakfast was excellent and had great variety. Beach was only a short walk away and we had an easy time setting up surf lessons. The room was larger than expected and the bed was comfortable. Pool was also great and super relaxing. The staff were kind, considerate, and an absolute blast to talk to. Unfortunately, the other guests did not keep to quite hours and no one from the the hotel asked them to keep their voices down. This made getting to sleep a challenge because all the windows are open (with insect netting) and sound traveled very easily.
