Casa Bonita Tropical Lodge

WE went back to casa bonita this time with my in laws. Again it was a real nice experience with a great multicolor sunrise. The service was great as it was the last time. They make you feel at home with everything you ask is please rightly. Definitely is a place to come back again.

We truly enjoyed our visit to Casa Bonita with our group of 17. Location is a bit remote ( about 3 hour drive from Santo Domingo on good roads, but we would try Helicopter service next time). Rooms are on the rustic side but very comfortable. Suite is very nice with great view and terrace with jacuzzi. The private house is convenient for family with its own pool and full kitchen but access up an unpaved road may not be ideal for everyone. The palapa/restaurant and pool area have wonderful views of mountains on one side and ocean on the other. Truly special! Spa was wonderful with simple treatments on open air gazebos next to river. The on site activities such as hiking, zip lining and make your own pizza are all very well organized and lots of fun. We particularly enjoy the personal attention of the staff and owners! Can's wait to visit again and see future development of this property.

I cant say nothing about the views but when it comes to facilities and amenities they really need to get to it, employes are good and try to please you in any way they can, rooms ... bed and sheets need to be looked at, you can here the motorcycles coming in and out of the hotel, and guest in other rooms can also be constantly heard, the restaurant is average and to expensive for the quality, the pool is extreeeemmly cold and can not be enjoyed, these are things that i understand can be taken care of in the near future, please review your rates as i find it to expensive as to what you offer for this rate at the moment. I was highly recomended but it seems the hotel has changed its operator....

The room was small, dark and somewhat worn, however very clean. The bathroom was modern and had nice toiletries stocked for use. The hotel is part of the Small Luxury Hotels collection, but is not as nice as the other hotels in this group. Given the limitations of the Dominican Republic and the other hotels available, this one definitely had its charms. The staff was attentive. Internet was good. View was very nice. Food was fresh. It was rainy when we were there, so we needed bug repellent. It is a good place to be a base as you explore the nearby national parks and beaches. The driveway is deadly. I was told that it always looks washed out. We appreciated having an SUV. We were there for a birding trip and there were a lot of interesting birds on the property - we did not need to travel far.
