Wonderful hotel!
Pros:

Such a beautiful hotel in a wonderful location. We stayed there twice.

I especially liked the plaza outside next to the church, where you could sit and have breakfast from the hotel …or go to the cafe next door.

The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. I also really appreciated the service from the taxi service they work with, Felix Tours, who took us to and from Las Terrenas and offered us water, cough drops (we needed them), good music, and good conversation.

Cons:

There was one morning when the hot water didn’t work so not sure what happened.

Un très bel hôtel mais si possible demander les chambres à l étage.
Pros:

Nous avons apprécié l emplacement, la décoration de l hôtel, le vallet, et la gentillesse du personnel.

Cons:

Je n ai pas aimé le fait de ne pas avoir de fenêtre dans la chambre et surtout une vieille odeur de cave qui m’a beaucoup dérangé.

Pros:

Um dos melhores hoteis que ja fiquei. Tudo de alto nivel de sofisticação, desde o quarto, a piscina e o restaurante no rooftop, até o café da manhã são de altíssima qualidade. Bem localizado, bem no proximo ao coração da zona colonial.

Cons:

O quarto estava com um cheiro bastante forte de mofo.

Stylish historic hotel, but overpriced for the overall value offered
Pros:

The room itself was nicely designed, clean, and comfortable, and the water pressure worked well throughout the stay. The staff was kind and polite, and the hotel maintains a pleasant boutique atmosphere that fits well within the historic area.

Cons:

The price felt far too high for what was offered. The cathedral view was disappointing and not worth the premium, it mostly faced a brick wall and was not impressive at all. The lighting in the room also worked oddly, which affected the overall comfort and experience.
