Beautiful property where you can go to unplug from the rat race. The rooms are majestic and the service is impeccable. It's not the 100 mile an hour experience many resorts are. This is more a place you go to relax and get pampered. If you feel stressed out after a week here, you need professional help.

I will just start by saying that I am a very discerning customer and expect only the best. We booked the whole property for my wife's 40th birthday. To say expectations were exceeded is a complete understatement. The palace is much better than the pictures and video. True quality and attention to detail in design were much appreciated. Wilson and his team on site were extremely accommodating, we felt very looked after. We created amazing memories here with friends and family and we can not wait to return. Highlights were the private beach, cliffside apartments, the pool bar, the gardens, and grounds... Peacocks... The list goes on. Thank you!

The Balaji Palace is a beautiful, unique property in Rio San Juan. Better than any hotel/resort we have been to in DR! It is surrounded by nature, has a private beach, multiple pools/seating areas that are all well kept. We spent a few days just relaxing at the property itself - there was no need to leave! The staff there is wonderful and cater to all your needs. The chefs were accommodating to our dietary restrictions which was great. The rooms in the main house are all large with beautiful views. It is a great location for events or a family/friend getaway. We will definitely be returning to Balaji Palace!

We spent a wonderful two days last week at Balaji Palace in Río San Juan. The main building is surrounded by lush gardens in four acres of lawns, flowers, fruit trees, several terraces overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Dozens of beautiful peacocks roam the property. They are very friendly and love to be fed. All the staff, especially Wilson the property manager, Alfredo the chef, and all the other staff were very courteous and helpful. It is hard to get such personal service in a hotel or resort. For those looking to host a family or corporate function in a quiet setting off the beaten path, I highly recommend Balaji Palace. The chefs prepared delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner to our taste (we were four vegetarians in our group). We will definitely return here for longer vacations and recommend Balaji to all our family and friends. By the way, the rooms are very spacious and well appointed.

To say that Balaji Palace is paradise is a huge understatement. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the super kind and respectful caretaker, Wilson. He gave us a tour of the luxurious mansion, manicured grounds, and cliffside suites overlooking the ocean. My wife and I quickly changed and spent the afternoon sitting at the private beach and enjoying the sunset with a glass of chilled Moscato (I know, it was my wife's choice, I prefer Merlot :).. ). Its an experience that we will remember and treasure for the rest of our lives. The room we stayed in was clean and spacious with a balcony overlooking the grounds and eventually out to the ocean. I am an early riser and was delighted that the staff already had coffee and a table prepared to take in the beautiful view and listen to the ocean crashing down below. Truly grateful that we could spend time here and wouldn't definitely go back.
