Basking under the shade of a palm tree as you gaze out across the clear expanse of pristine beach surrounding you, it will instantly become clear why Puerto Plata is affectionately known as "La Novia del Atlántico" (the Bride of the Atlantic). Just as the warm, white sand summons the sea, Puerto Plata's first Small Luxury Hotel of the World, Casa Colonial Beach & Spa warmly welcomes you to the gorgeous northern coast of the Dominican Republic. Casa Colonial's simple, yet refined façade calls back to Old World elegance, while the hotel's interior boasts a distinctly contemporary style—from eclectic ebony and white décor of the lobby to the marble flooring and stunning floor-to-ceiling windows. Comprised of just 50 well-appointed suites, come see for yourself why the best things truly do come in small packages.

This was my third time staying at Casa Colonial over the last 2 years. I normally do not write reviews but had to after this trip. Unbelievable service, food and drinks. I do not want to name any specific staff since they are all amazing and I do not want to leave anyone off the list. If you like a quiet resort, amazing beach with plenty of places to relax under shade or not - a rooftop pool and a lot of happiness - put this on your list The picture of the meal we had was to say the least one of the best meals i have ever had. I am in my 50s from NYC. The lobster was cooked perfectly as were the carrots and broccoli in a very light sauce. The steak added a turf compliment which also was outstanding. They have a nice wine list if you are into a bottle with dinner. if you are not staying at the hotel - you can still visit the restaurant for a 5-star meal. This place will not disappoint.

I am a hard to impress, seasoned international traveler. I feel compled to share my impression about Casa Colonial, a small boutique hotel, right outside Porto Plata, on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic. Case Colonial is the ultimate luxury boutique hideaway. A short two hour flight from Miami to the nearby POP airport, or a 4 hour drive from Santo Domingo. This hotel is a pleasant surprise and a benchmark for highest quality hospitality. With a background in high-end waterfront home architecture and construction, my partner Debbie, was wowed and impressed. This hotel earned our deep respect for the investment in, and maintanence of, quality and details. The staff is superb. They try to anticipate one's needs before the words are uttered. The tropical garden is at a level of a botanical garden. The food is excelent athe dining experience is wild class. The beach is clean, pristine and the Atlantic breeze mitigates the summer heat. Case Colonial is a perfect 10!

My sister and I had a wonderful stay at Casa Colonial. The key differentiator was the friendliness of the staff. Wherever we went, whether from the room attendants and gardeners to the lovely, skilled bartender, we were greeted with a smile and "hola". The architecture is very grand, everywhere is spotless and clean, and as others have mentioned, the rooftop pool and hot hubs are a great place to relax and enjoy the views.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Casa Colonial. The property is exquisite. The setting is tranquil and serene. The staff make you feel like family from check in to bartenders to waitstaff to cleaning staff. So accommodating and friendly, all of them. Several staff found out our daughter was taking high school Spanish and went out of their way to teach her words, phrases, and even quiz her from time to time. The rooms are large with a first class decor. The infinity pool, and 4 built in hot tubs were amazing as was the food and drink. The beach front scenery was breathtaking and the grounds are gorgeous and immaculate. What a great time. Thanks to all of the staff who made our stay so special, relaxing and memorable. We can’t wait to come back.

My husband and I wanted a quick getaway from the kids, so I explored where JetBlue flew direct- up came Puerto Plata. We've been to DR many times, and even got married in Punta Cana. But coming to Puerto Plata felt like a whole new island! Casa Colonial looked like a perfect option, quiet and upscale. And guess what? The place actually looks like the pictures, even better in my opinion. The staff were all wonderful, and since the hotel only had a few rooms occupied, they spent plenty of time being attentive to every need. I would highly recommend this hotel for a calm, serene couples getaway, but kids are allowed (we didn't see any). We also both had massages which were amazing, and quite a nice spa for such a small hotel. Overall, we are huge fans of this hotel and hope to be back again soon!!

My husband and I stayed with you last week, room 23. We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel and wished we could have stayed longer. We agreed it was probably the most wonderful, most hospitable and gorgeous place we have stayed in our 27 years of marriage. I also would like to commend the chef in the main restaurant. The mashed yucca served with the filets of beef was fabulous!

I must say I loved the grounds and staff service of this hotel during my stay a few weeks ago! A true gem of Puerto Plata! If you are looking for a private getaway, this is the place to go!
