La Cueva del Che

Roberto, proprietor excellent helpful in every way. Restaurant and food very good. Italian heritage was complementary to local culture. Juan Dolio beaches were quiet. Would recommend renting a car to get around and sightsee. As this was our first trip to DR, will stay in Juan Dolio briefly La. Cueva del Che next time and explore north end of island.

Everything was perfect! Excellent food!

Really nice, close to the beach. Very friendly owner of the hotel. Very peaceful

A bit away from the town

The staff was super nice Nice garden Safe location Nice place to escape the reality

Nothing

The Host is a real Host, Ricardo is really welcoming each Guest just like a Family member or Friend. He speaks English very well too and takes care of each moment to satisfy the Guests' needs. The food is really good, take the local dishes from the kind lady and the recommendations to have some custom Italian-Dominican mixture and a big sip of Italian coffee. It may be not the cheapest food around but you get all value instead of jeopardying and illness. As well the transit and everything was very safe which is also important, the Owner can be trusted. Who is social, outgoing but respecful too. The coast was also more than nice, somewhat not the cleanest but pure nature, big waves and very scenic views! Just like (from) the perfectly managed garden of the hotel. The room was super nice too and more than clean, no any bugs, etc. The bed: comfortable. Aircon also made well. If every investor in tourism would be like Ricardo, the industry would just rise.

Suggestions: -To build something great in front of the hotel, just next to the water. At least a terrace. -Water pressure was too low, it was almost impossible to have shower, and sometimes there was no water for minutes. -It would be better if the room would be already cold and with more fresh air.. Some hours befors the arrival of the visitors. It took around the whole night until the air quality and temperature became all right.

I really loved the tranquility and serenity of the place. Food was delicious, the place was very clean and the staff really helpful. Roberto the owner is super kind and always willing to help.

Everything!

This place is a nice getaway from Santo Domingo, a real bed & breakfast that feels more European than Dominican (the owner is Italian). You can sit and enjoy coffee in the garden while watching the waves, take a dip in the pool, or enjoy a wonderfully home-cooked meal with local ingredients. Roberto and his staff were very friendly and accommodating and care a lot about quality. Be aware that not every room has air conditioning, so it's especially recommended to visit in more moderate months. The food and coffee are fantastic and you can watch the chef prepare them. I recommend this for couples looking for a getaway. We felt very safe and welcome here and we would definitely stay here again!

Nearby Playa del Caribe is small and covered in sargassum for part of the year, so this is not a beach vacation destination. There is also a Dominican club next door that plays bachata all day, but it seems rather family-friendly and the volume isn't too loud; we couldn't hear it at all at night.

A real authentic colonial style hotel. You have WiFi but for the rest no other technological stuff and that makes it really relaxed! Also the owner, Roberto, could not be there, so he sent us a few days before a text by WhatsApp to ask us at what time we are coming and to explain to us how everything works and to tell us that Pablo will be there for us. Really nice and a great personal touch! And Pablo was really a good host! He made us immediately feel at home. You can ask for whatever you want and he will try to arrange this for you together with the two other ladies who work in the hotel/kitchen. Also the breakfast was delicious with the fresh fruit! They have a beautiful garden with a pool and it's near the sea. The total experience in this hotel was so relaxed and welcoming, also because of Pablo and the amazing location of the hotel!
