The Essential Guide to Rio San Juan, Dominican Republic

"An intimate collection of artfully designed beachfront bungalows, this boutique hotel combines colorful Caribbean style with Palm Beach design—antique furniture, handmade tiles, and ornate Dominican-inspired architecture by owner-designer Celerie Kemble give it a singular character. With just nine intimate bungalows, each featuring private verandas and copper soaking tubs, the property truly feels like a home-away-from-home. I also recommend the main restaurant in the stately main house for its farm-to-table ethos, showcasing fresh fish and seafood alongside classic Dominican dishes available all day." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.
