Prima hotel
Pros:

Leuk complex, lekker zwembad. Fijn om de mogelijkheid te hebben om zelf wat te koken.

Cons:

Het complex kan wel wat liefde gebruiken, het is het allemaal net niet.

Pros:

A good place to enjoy Dominical, especially if you don't want to be really central. Comfortable beds.

Cons:

Out room had an issue with the water pressure. The last night we changed room and the pressure was great. The manager felt a bit like he's annoyed by the questions, but at the end he was always helpful.

Satisfactory
Pros:

The pool was refreshing. The owner kindly gave us a drive to buy groceries, while he was doing an errand.
The AC was nice.

Cons:

The place is quite funky. Everything needs updating. Very meager kitchen facility with no basics such as salt or sugar.

Excellent place to stay I highly recommend it . good price and very comfortable
Pros:

What a great place! It was a perfect location. Quite comfortable with a refreshing pool. What a treat after a day in the sun in the ocean. The shared kitchen was very nice and has everything you need to make a simple meal.

One night stay
Pros:

The owner has impressively made the cabins and furniture by hand! Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Cabin was on tbe dusty road. A/C worked OK and wasn't on when we arrived. The cabin was really hot and took a long time to cool down. No washcloths!?

Pros:

It was easy to find, the owners were welcoming, it's quiet and comfortable, the pool was a nice temperature, and above all it was peaceful. We settled in right away. Oh, and if you pay cash they don't charge you the booking fees. We stayed an extra night and it was $20 less than what we paid online.

Cons:

The utensils and things in the kitchen had dust all over them. Everything had to be washed again before using it but it's understandable for the price we paid and having an outdoor kitchen. Overall we we enjoyed our stay and will stay again.
