    They need to fix shower light fixtures and plug. I didn't like so many pictures of the owner. Is not attractive . I understand he's very successful and Im happy about it and is good for him and he's family . They should concentrate in the beauty that Bayahibe offers.. ***

    Bathroom was smelling bad, maybe even moldy. Toilet wasn't working very good. Pretty loud at night due to central location. Bright light on street next to my balcony window.

    Breakfast near pool, you can order eggs like you want it, fresh juices, pool was nice on roof top, rooms were huge and we got two rooms next to each other.

    Room is tiny Breakfast is chaotic at times, staff seem not anticipating how many guest. Preparation is slow and disorganized during our stay. I saw a cockroach from the bathroom.

    Room - the room is nice with king/queen size bed, the bed is wonderful and I had a good sleep. The room is tiny with the bed at the center, its like 1.2 mts space throughout the room. The bathroom is nice too. Building - the building is new, they are still working on the 3rd floor. Pool - is in the 2nd floor, dining is in the same area. Breakfast - decent breakfast Location: the building is near the pier that caters passengers going to Saona Island. There is no beach for you to swim. Lots of restaurant around and gift shop. There are restaurants by the beach with fair prices. Nice for dinner dates as well. Pier - If you like to go to Saona, just go find a catamaran staff. Saona excursion is just $40/person. Saona Island is a beautiful island.

    The construction!! Most of the time I was out of the hotel during the construction but being woken up to hammering and drills was not fun. And it continued on Saturday which was disappointing. So Sunday was the only day I really got to “sleep in”.

    The rooms feel luxurious. If you are on the ocean side there are 2 views of the water. The pool area is gorgeous. It was not crazy busy so you felt like you were a vip!

    Bathroom needs more lights. There is no full length mirror in the rooms.

    Great location and staff. Next to the marina, so you have to walk 10 minutes to get to a snorkeling beach or private beach. Quiet. Great breakfast.

    Shower water spilled to whole bathroom floor so we had to place towel on floor to block water. No hot water during showers.

    Location - right beside waterfront Room - large and recently renovated Staff - challenge with English translation but very friendly and always willing to help. AC. and ceiling fan - very effective

    I don't speak Spanish, so it took me a little longer than usual to get the point

    The stay at the hotel was exactly what you want a stay to be. Friendly staff, nice pool, good breakfast, located in the middle of the city with a view of the water.

    The breakfast is a complete disaster. Starting from the very unhelpful staff to the horrible offer of itens available, it is caos. Every minute they decide on a new format, serve some clients way better than others and clearly are not prepared to cater for the quantity of people they hosted over the new year period. One day, our only option was to eat cold eggs on wet plates. The plugs in our room didn’t work, which meant itens we placed in the fridge went bad (milk for our child). When we checked in, there were no towels available and throughout our stay we didn’t have any pool towels.

    The facilities are new, the location is good and some of the staff (Manuel, Jahaira and Usmailey) are very attentive
