Costa Las Ballenas - Beach Hotel and Restaurant

This is a lovely property with many pluses including absolute seafront location. The individual casitas are spacious and well appointed (though without basics like kettles and hairdryers.) But all of the casitas have thatched palm roofs and lots of openness to the outside. If it's windy you're going to hear it and feel it. Some of the roofs are too old and dawn sunlight enters. If you like that this is the place for you. If you want more consistency in your sleep experience look elsewhere. Also, two of the three nights I spent here there was loud music or loud dirtbike noise in the middle of the night from neighboring villas. There are local roads bordering both sides of the property... Most of the time the noise level in the restaurant is very low with tasteful quiet music. But there's an awful DJ blasting on weekend afternoons. This is a loud country full of people who like to turn up the volume. The restaurant is excellent and so is the breakfast which was included in my rate.

This resort has a lot to offer for all guest who attend. The rooms are cleaned diligently. Staff is friendly and willing to do whatever needed to benefit your stay.The grounds are well manicured and beautiful. The restaurant has a full menu of excellent food and drink choices. This is a must stay for your Caribbean relaxing vacation or getaway!

Great hotel. Excellent location in a quiet area at the beachfront. Food is good and breakfast is included. Five star massage and good pool inside the site. Rooms are OK, kind of a traditional setting but could have some minor improvements. I recommend it and would return at anytime.

Great place, quiet, authentically natural and well kept as well as comfortable. Steps from a fantastic beach. The best: service, cleaning, effective without pressure covid protocol, and a superb staff, from the management (kudos to Ana, Helena and Paola), front office to the cleaning personal. The restaurant-bar has now a new menu with a new chef! A hidden paradise! We will keep coming back as much as possible!!!

|Ocean front, gorgeous pool areas, beautiful bar and restaurant, excellent service with delicious sea food I recommend the sea food BBQ very well appointed rooms. The only thing I can think here is that people are trying to keep this resort a secret. Do not miss out if you are headed to Playa Bonita in Dominican Republican, we stayed in an ocean front room that was very large, beautifully appointed, very comfortable bed. |A garden lounge. |The staff was gentle educate and very professional

This bungalow-style resort in Playa Bonita is a dream come true. Our short stay here (mid-February 2020) was above expectations. Staff is very friendly and helpful, breakfast is very good and served in a long time range all until 11:30! The grounds (landscaped garden with a pool) is very well kept and truly pleasant. The beach in front has some rocks, however dreamy beaches extend both to the left and to the right and are only a short walk away. Special thanks and praise goes to Ezekiel at the reception.

We spent a weekend for my dads birthday and rented 3 beachfront rooms. ||||We really liked:||-The rooms (big and equipped) H1 and H4 have the best views||-The view||-The pool||-The beach (AWESOME for adults)||-The pre-breakfast delivered to your rooms||||Areas of improvement:||-SERVICE and food||You can not bring food in which we understand but the restaurant menu does not have a variety to spend a weekend eating from there. ||(There are about 2 other hotels/restaurants that are walking distance that you could go and eat) ||We traveled with 2 toddlers and a baby. The place is not very kids friendly. ||Service, in general, is good but we had several misunderstanding and there is not a lot of staff around or willingness to help.

I’m a solo digital nomad that had a great time here.||1. The hotel is fantastic! Service, cleaning, location and beaches.||2. I felt super safe and even spoiled by the whole staff||3. Great wifi! (Very important for digital nomads)||4. Dog friendly! Mi dog was treated like a VIP guest||A happy and loyal client for life|
