Dominican Tree House Village

Had an absolutely incredible experience staying at Dominican Tree House Village. This is a one of a kind experience, and something I will truly cherish! I stepped out of my comfort zone, not knowing what to expect (did my fair share of research beforehand, but you know what I mean) and was SO pleasantly surprised. If you’re looking for a unique stay, and a place to relax, recharge, and reset, Dominican Tree House Village is your place. The staff went above and beyond for my boyfriend and I, along with everyone else who was staying at the same time as us. They were so helpful, kind, and fun to be around. We absolutely loved hanging out in the hotel lobby with them each evening, and learning their experiences living in the DR. The rooms were very well kept, and the mosquito net worked wonders. Come to think of it, I very rarely even noticed insects around the property! The food was true Dominican cuisine, I’m not a risk taker when it comes to food, but can honestly say I enjoyed everything I had the opportunity to try. Since it is a bit of a journey getting to and from the Tree House Village from Samana, I would suggest a minimum 4 days here to maximize your time! I would hands down stay here again, I’m so glad I took a leap of faith and went on this adventure. Also got the chance to see one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen in my life, just a 15 minute bike ride from the property. It is so worth checking out!

My stay at Dominican Tree House Village Resort was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I felt an instant connection to the place and everyone there. The atmosphere is filled with love, peace, and a calming energy that makes you feel at home. From the cook’s warm smile to the loyal security dog, Ranger, every detail added to the experience. Strangers quickly became family, and the people from the surrounding village welcomed me with open hearts. Surrounded by nature—majestic trees, gentle rivers, curious animals—and supported by an incredible staff and the gracious owner, Bart, the entire stay radiated high vibrations and good energy. This wasn’t just a visit; it was an experience of connection, serenity, and pure joy. 🌿✨ I left with my heart full and my spirit refreshed—and I absolutely can’t wait to return. *Yoga by the waterfall 🦋 Magical

This experience completely blew my expectations out of the water. Staying in a treehouse at the Dominican Treehouse Village was something I’ll never forget—it was pure magic. From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless. The staff went above and beyond with their warmth, kindness, and hospitality, which made our group of six girls feel safe, comfortable, and cared for the entire time.||The treehouse rooms were actually so comfortable—cozy, peaceful, and designed with just the right touch of nature and practicality. I was surprised (and relieved!) to find absolutely no mosquitoes during our entire stay, which had been a concern before arriving. Each bed had its own mosquito net, stayed clean, and we even had outlets by the beds to charge our devices. We spent time in the swinging chairs on our private balconies, completely immersed in the sounds of the jungle—it was the perfect place to unplug and reconnect with nature.||The food was amazing. Breakfast every morning was fresh and delicious, we enjoyed lunch on the beach, and dinners felt like family gatherings under the stars. The views were unreal, and the on-site zipline added the perfect touch of adventure to it all.||I truly didn’t want this trip to end. If you’re even thinking about staying here—do it. It’s an unforgettable five-star experience all around.

Staying at the Dominican Treehouse Village was an unforgettable experience — like stepping into a real-life jungle dream. The treehouses are charming, rustic, and beautifully woven into the lush tropical surroundings, offering a true sense of peace and disconnection from the busy world.|Waking up to the sounds of birds and the gentle sway of the trees felt grounding and rejuvenating. The staff were incredibly welcoming, always ready with a smile and happy to help with anything we needed. The community atmosphere, from shared meals to guided adventures, made it easy to connect with others while still having space for quiet reflection.|Zip-lining through the jungle was such a great experience, Meals were exceptional in the open-air dining space, and relaxing in a hammock in the mornings were some of my favorite moments. Every moment feels like a return to what matters most — simplicity, nature, and presence.|Highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone looking to connect with nature.

We love this place so much we came back a month later…and are planning to return soon! Selfishly, I almost did not write a review because this is our “secret” little place to re-connect. The open-air rooms provide some of the best sleep. The fresh air, sounds of nature, and absence of wifi is heavenly! After an amazing breakfast the rest of the day is for relaxing, hiking, excursions, swimming in the pool, enjoying the local beach, or getting to know the wonderful Dominican people. The staff at the resort are very dedicated and really make the experience special. They, along with the local villagers, have changed us forever. Because of these people, we view life so differently. Their work-ethic, attitudes, and lifestyle have taught us to appreciate simplicity and to prioritize what matters in life. If you are feeling a bit adventurous, willing to embrace an amazing culture, and open to changing the way you view life, this is for you. Pack your “camping clothes” and let your make-up at home. You are about to have a REAL “down-to-earth” life-changing experience!

We discovered the Dominican Tree House Village through a Drew Binsky video — and it was an immediate “ooo ooou” for us. We booked it before even thinking about what sleeping in the jungle really means… and we’re so glad we did! Incredible and unique experience! This place is truly built with intention. Nature, locals, and community come first. Meals are delicious — breakfast, appetizers at 5:30, soup at 6:30, and dinner at 7:00 are provided, and they use fresh, local ingredients. Lunch vouchers for two nearby spots are included, and massages were also part of our package. We did two organized excursions, both incredible. Most days we left around 9:30 and returned around 4:30. Staff like Alex, Ricky, Mikey, volunteer Michael, and Mike at the gift shop (who also collects donations for a local school) made the experience even better. All of our excursion guides were awesome too. Bring cash and be ready to tip — we found an ATM in Samaná but there is no ATM closer than that and cash is king in El Valle. The ladies in the kitchen and housekeeping were lovely, and although we didn’t even get to try the zip line (also included), we biked to a gorgeous nearby beach. They have a pool and they do the bonfires in the evenings. Transportation from and back to Santo Domingo was included and we really didn’t have to worry about anything! We loved every moment and truly wish the Dominican Tree House Village all the best!

This experience completely blew my expectations out of the water. Staying in a treehouse at the Dominican Treehouse Village was something I’ll never forget—it was pure magic. From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless. The staff went above and beyond with their warmth, kindness, and helpfulness, which made our group of six girls feel comfortable and taken care of the entire time. The food was outstanding—breakfast each morning was delicious and energizing, lunches on the beach were dreamy, and dinners felt like intimate family gatherings under the stars. The views? Absolutely breathtaking. You are fully immersed in nature, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the jungle. The zip line that connects to the village was such a fun surprise—an adrenaline rush we’ll be talking about for a long time! Every part of this trip was unforgettable, and honestly, I didn’t want it to end. If you’re even considering staying here—do it. It’s a solid five-star experience through and through.

I came with 5 girls and we had the BEST experience. I already miss it so much. The location is definitely out of the way and not near anything touristy but that’s what I loved so much about it. It was nice to disconnect for a little bit and be in the nature. Food and the activities were top-tier. We had so much fun and felt safe the entire time. If you are someone that really loves to travel for the adventure, experience and beauty and connecting with even the locals, this was exactly thatttttt. There’s def some critters here and there but it comes with the jungle territory haha I would def do this again!
