Guest Reviews

• Laura (8/5): - Wonderful staff. Pictures not exactly as imagined. Never figured out the TV but there provably wouldn’t have english anyway. Great A/C. Was very comfortable.
• Pedro Manuel (4/5): - Beautiful beach
• Rashel (8/5): - It’s pretty simple and enough! As we just needed a place to sleep for our trip to isla Saona! Small but had everything needed! Plus parking was easy!
• Fabrizio (8/5): - Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. A due passi dal porto da dove partono le barche per l’isola Saona e dove la sera ci sono diversi locali carini per mangiare
• Randy (10/5): - Great little place that is family run I think. We loved it here and clean as can be thats for sure.
• Annia Alexandra Zorrilla (10/5): - Todo el personal muy amable sobre los chicos sobre todo los chicos
• Delphine (10/5): - Très serviables
• Robert (10/5): - Decent place for the price.
• Esteban (10/5): - Excelente
• Brendyn (10/5): - y hhgggghhhj
• Cole (4/5): - Very noisy, the bed was super uncomfortable
• Karla Paulina (10/5): - Lo súper recomiendo Es un lugar muy cómodo para quedarse Limpio y con buena ubicación Mayra es súper amable y dispuesta ayudar en cualquier cosa que necesites Volveríamos sin pensarlo!
• Paul (8/5): - The staff was very friendly.
• Sonia (10/5): - Propre, bien situé, personnel serviable
• Leonardo (10/5): Excepcional - Me senti em casa onde a Mayra recebeu a gente muito bem. Anfitriã atenciosa fala com bastante entusiasmo sobre o que poderíamos fazer pela cidade durante a estadia. Atendeu muito bem as nossas expectativas.
• Matthew (10/5): GREAT value I couldn’t believe it - Incredible stay I felt very welcomed and happy here. I’m so glad I booked this place instead an all inclusive. It’s right by the beach and has everything you need at a better price. it’s clean, safe, and conveniently located. I couldn’t have asked for better. I hope to go back soon. Highlight of my trip.
• Martha (8/5): - Property was very basic but clean, Mayra helped us when we needed transportation and the Uber driver was trying to charge us way to much.
• Françoise (6/5): - La sortie à Saona est très jolie mais les bateaux à moteur dégradent le sable en mettant la vitesse maximum juste pour impressionner. Quelle pollution. La nuit, il y a un bruit infernal dans l’hôtel, à se demander s’il leur arrive de dormir. En tout cas, aucun respect des gens qui dorment
• Rafael (10/5): - Muy buena la atención del personal
• JOSE RAUL (8/5): - Wifi is bad but besides that, it is a good cost-benefit
• Raffaele (10/5): - Essenziale e concreta, niente fronzoli, ottimo incontro qualità prezzo, personale straordinariamente disponibile e cortese. Certo non è una location stellata, ma per chi bada al sodo senza svenarsi economicamente, in zona non troverà di meglio. Ottima la posizione a due minuti a piedi da un eccellente ristorante, a 4 minuti dalla spiaggia con supermarket lungo il tragitto. Il borgo marinaro poi è divino. Lo consiglio, viaggiatore cronico, senza remore.
• Uriel (8/5): - Me agrado mucho su ubicación. Los anfitriones fueron muy amables e informativos sobre lugares y cosas que hacer y visitar. En general el pueblo es muy bonito y excelente opción para visitar. Solo como observación, creo que debería haber papel higiénico y jabón en la habitación y no tener que ir a comprar algo tan básico como eso. Por lo demás muy agradable
• Velouse (8/5): Hôtel bien situé pour profiter de Bayahibe - Séjour formidable à Bayahibe à l'hôtel El pulpo qui dispose d'un environnement très bien situé proche de tout. Des restaurants, de la plage, des boutiques, des excursions. L'hôtel est basic avec peu d'équipements mais avec une équipe formidable qui est arrangeante et au petit soin avec ses clients. Il serait bien de mettre à la disposition de la clientèle, un micro-onde ainsi q'une bouilloire qui changerait leurs conditions sur place. Le café et le thé sont servis le matin en quantité suffisante mais malheureusement pas de petit déjeuner, ni la possibilité de pouvoir déjeuner sur place. Les chambres sont propres avec un balcon ce qui est agréable pour se poser en extérieur après la plage. Pas de gel douche comme indiqué seulement un petit savonnette. Donc pensez à ramener les produits d'hygiène.
• Diego (8/5): - was cool
• Maryse (10/5): - La propriétaire de l'hôtel est très gentille. Le personnel extraordinaire ♡♡♡♡♡ toujours là si on a besoin de quelque chose. Nous offres le café le matin.
• Rocio (8/5): - Very well located if you want to be in bayahibe area
• Maximo Ramon (8/5): - Buena relación calidad precio, buen trato del personal, lo recomiendo
• Scarlett (10/5): - El lugar es tranquilo, seguro y limpio, cuenta con lo necesario para descansar, está cerca de la playa y de zonas para comer
• Robin (4/5): - If we were to visit Bayahibe again, we wouldn’t stay here nor recommend it. The floors of our room were dirty upon arrival, there were ants and spiders web in the bathroom etc. The bed was rock hard. The available staff only knew Spanish so there was zero ways to communicate for us non-Spanish speakers. The location is good - short walk to the beach and stores just around the corner.
• Thomas (4/5): A very sketchy hotel - A bare bones basic hotel. They have free coffee in the morning, but nothing else. Rooms are small but enough, and very basic. The 2 guys working the “front desk” were pretty sketchy characters, and didn’t seem to know what they were doing. Our second night (of 2) there, they were hanging out drinking with some local gal in the parking lot below our balcony. One of them took her to one of the vacant rooms for a half hour or so, and then they both came out and all 3 got into a big noisy argument about her “not being paid enough”! Not a place we’ll stay at again.
• Kevin (10/5): - Wonderful spot, centrally located close to beach and in middle of town! Great friendly staff, clean rooms with nice AC!
• Daniel (8/5): - Wifi in room first night then couldint conect to the ext router thay we used told staff they didint help no wifi unless on balcony
• Jean (6/5): - Was expecting a little bed for my 7 year old daughter
• Fabrizio (6/5): - Ottima per il suo prezzo. Economica e comoda
• Sonya (10/5): A Cute Quick Quaint Place to Stay - It was a great stay for what it was intended for. Close to beach. Close to shops. Close to restaurants. The bed was comfortable, there was tv in the room. Only coffee in the morning. Do not expect breakfast. We had parking. Easy check in and the security person on sight was helpful! He gave great suggestions for the area. The property is well cared for. It was a clean hotel with a fan and air conditioning. Take pictures at the sign.
• D (10/5): - Maira is an excellent host, very frienly and relaxed! The rooms were simple but very clean and exactly what was needed. The hotel is close to Bayahibe port, walking distance so everything is close by. Perfect; safe, clean and convenient!
• CYNTHIA GABRIELA (10/5): Hotel limpio cerca del embarcadero de Bayahibe - La habitación está cómoda, el personal es amable y dan buenas recomendaciones
• Mark (10/5): - This hotel is spotless, everything is freshly painted in a crips white. It's very reasonably priced, but the rooms feel comfortable and have a touch of style in the furniture and fixtures. It was quiet and we were able to walk to the Isla Saona boats in about 5 minutes. We had secure & covered parking inside their courtyard/parking lot.There's no food at the hotel, but the management were very accomodating and friendly and provided free "cafecita." The beach was also just five minutes away on foot and there were a bunch of nice places to eat around the waterfront; check out the Barco Bar & Restaurant for great food right on the waters edge with a bit of a castaway vibe.
• Liz (10/5): - Easy access
• Svitlana (10/5): - Great place, I love Myra, very professional!!!
• Daniel (10/5): - Loved it! Everyone super nice. Clean hotel, easy to get in and out, very nice AC
• Carina (10/5): - This is a quiet and restful place. Nice staff. Clean room. Free wifi and coffee...
• Victor (10/5): - Lugar centrico.
• WALTER (6/5): Bayahibe El Pulpo is ok. - It was for one night to get the cruise the following day. It is very simple but clean. The staff is super nice. The air conditioner was working perfectly without any noise. There was a small freezer. The place is very simple.
• Carlos (10/5): - Mayra is an excellent host. Juan also.
• Soledad (10/5): Ideal hospedaje para disfrutar de Bayahibe. - Un hotel muy bien ubicado, la sra Mayra muy amable en todo momento , al igual q su hijastro y una señora q trabaja ahí un amor. La habitación muy linda y con un hermosa decoración encima de la cama con las toallas y flores.
• Peter (8/5): Nice, quiet hotel - The waterfront area of Bayahibe can be quite noisy but this is in a quieter area a couple of blocks away. Good, no-frills hotel. Recommended.
• Oleg (10/5): - The staff are the very best, always able to support you on information and everything you need. The place is do clean, cozy and quite.. I do recommend Hotel El Pulpo.
• nicholas (10/5): - The room, and staff were nice, would stay again.
• Svitlana (6/5): - It was constructed working during the stays Noise all day long you can’t rest or sleep or watching TV Not good at all!!! Not very clean Price ok But, not more time in this hotel for sure
• vineeth (8/5): - Everything was good as expected except wifi, range is pretty bad. If staff could speak a little English it would be helpful.
• Ruth (10/5): - Staff was great, felt at home and cozy!!
• Geraldine (10/5): - This hotel is just about perfectly on the edge of the tourist, retail, beach, area. The rooms were clean and the staff was awesome and helpful. It worked out really well for us and I would highly recommend them.
• daisy (6/5): - They initially told me that my reservation was cancelled because I didn't check in on the check in date and I no longer had reservation. My flight was delayed and missed my connecting flight. I arrived the next day. I pre-paid the room for 2 nights. Just glad it worked out after another worker came and granted my reservation. But whew!
• Samuel David (6/5): - Could do better as far as house keeping and the wifi was never active ! Town is great and hotel is closed and convenient but needs a few details to make it a great one…
• Nick (6/5): - It’s ok, clean and functional.
• Delbert (4/5): - It is advertised that they serve breakfast and they never served breakfast at all. Figuring out the TV was also a huge issue. The hotel is clean and safe. Its about a 7 minute walk to the beach area. The front desk it great with helping you out with tours.
• Andy (10/5): - I traveled to Bayahibe for scuba diving, and hotel el Pulpo was 10 minutes away from the beach by walking. There is a shortcut to scuba caribe where I did my dive and excursion. I had an awesome stay, all the staff was super nice and I didn't have any problems. Especially the front desk lady was very kind serving fresh coffee every morning. There is a local Dominican food restaurant around the corner open for lunch. It's pretty cheap, but it's for locals, so eat at your own risk. There is an Italian restaurant also around the corner across from hotel paraiso with good prices and the quality food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I usually ate there. Don't go to the beach restaurants, they will charge you tourist prices for average food. I also ate at the mexican restaurant Frida in dominicus which was 10 minutes drive. It was really good. There was a construction next door, but they started at 8 am , so I was up before then. At night, there was no bar noise or heavy traffic noise. I would recommend this hotel for people visiting Bayahibe, Dominican people are awesome, be nice to them and don't forget to tip, and they will make sure you will have a good stay .
• Verified traveler (8/5): Carino - Hotel molto essenziale, senza molte pretese, si ha la camera senza pulizie e colazione. La proprietaria è molto gentile e cordiale pronta ad aiutarti
• Jonathan (8/5): - This is a pleasant hotel, close to the centre of town but not noisy. The room was clean and adequately equipped. I could not make the TV work except on Dominican channels, but that might have been just me.
• iris Minerva de la (10/5): - Is my second time staying there. Is very clean and they always available for whatever you need.
• Jenice (10/5): - Very clean rooms and friendly staff. Close to Bayahibe beach. I'll definitely be back!
