Our place at Domenico's place was amazing. Small cabanas provide privacy and beautiful garden around gives special moments, for example we saw hummingbirds every single day. Domenico and Sheila are amazing hosts. Highly recommend and would come anytime again.

Excellent location! Near the beaches but also away from the noise of the disc. It rests well and enjoy nature in the house of Domenico. Thank you very much for having us

We loved our stay casa gufo, a bungalows marisposas casitas. Domenico and his wife are very nice people and very goods, working in developement and sustainable tourism in the area. We were very well welcomed by the whole team and counseled! Comfortable accommodation as described, nice little pool, nice common area with wifi. Note that the hotel is 30 minutes walk from the main beach, or a short bike taxi in an authentic hamlet. We were able to rent a bike to explore the beautiful region. Thank you to the whole team gufo casa !!!

Domenico and his wife are very friendly and attentive. Stay in Las Mariposas was very nice. The place is very quiet, family friendly around nature. Thank you for your hospitality!

Everything is extra. A place not to miss!

Domenico has a beautiful tropical garden situated on a hill with couple small, neat and very cosy bungalows. We always had clean towels, drinking water and there was a lady coming to clean every day. The garden is gated, we could park our car inside and there was always somebody present so we felt very safe there. We could always come to the common area with a bar for a cup of coffee or a coctail. The place is a very short ride to the beach and to the town. As it is not in the busy center of the town we enjoyed the privacy, fresh air and beatiful views from the terrace. Everybody was very nice and we would absolutely stay at Domenico's place again as we felt very good there.

Very nice people, nice and comfortable accomodation. Always clear and near the beautiful beach.

Didier's place is unique with beautiful tropical mountain vistas and fruit trees on the property. Didier is friendly and welcoming and more than happy to assist with whatever questions you have. Wifi is accessible only from Didier's home, and both pools were unusable at the time of my visit. The bungalows are one-of-a-kind and spacious, but were lacking in basic cleanliness and had some very unpleasant odors. Didier's bungalows are very seculded and peaceful, so it makes for a good 30(+/-) minute walk to the beach along the main road, but very good colmados and comedors just a minute down the hill.

nice place in the green, as expected

Didier is a wonderful person, knows everything and everyone in Las Galeras and is always helpful. The facility is very nice and green :) The accommodation is basic, clean and made with great attention to detail. I felt very well and immediately booked the next stay. Anyone looking for a quiet, eco-friendly property is absolutely right when Didier !!

The reception was nice. Well as some outside area of the tourist area and not too far anyway to walk to the village and the beach. Nice environment, nice bungalow, and relaxed atmosphere. Providing value ok.

Great place! Didier is an incredibly nice and helpful guy! Place is still slightly under renovation and will be a perfect Airbnb with a few adjustments. Only issue was it was a little difficult for us to find, but with proper signage that issue can be fixed. I would recommend this place.

Didier was a very warm and welcoming host. He was always there to ask questions and help you if needed as well as showing you the best places to go in the town. The place was as advertise good bed and beautiful view. It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the center of town or 5 minute moto ride. Very quite and nice place to relax. I would stay there again.

Two big convenient beds, are enough space! Friendly owner! But in the house it is very dirty, a big dust layer everywhere: on a bedside table, windows, curtains, in a room corner.

For all those who are looking for a quiet but reachable place to stay this is the option. The beautiful beaches of las galeras are fast to reach by motorcycle or by walking. He has little dogs, but they behave. The rooms are simple but designed with passion. All in all we could enjoy our stay pretty well.

We had a friendly welcome by Fany. The house is in a quiet street, but very central. At night you can hear the local music of neighbouring restaurants but if you close the windows this is ok. Anyhow we liked the music. The construction of the the house is solid, so we recommend to open all windows and doors at night, put the fan on and wait for the cooler air. It is a very pretty house in a wonderful garden and nice tables and chairs outside under a roof. So we could enjoy the caribic life outside. We recommend the house warmly.

Perfect little home in las Galeras. Very central and well equipped. Would definitely return.

Excellent stay in this location. To recommend. Remote communication with Yohann was perfectly placed. Mom's Yohann ensuring stewardship on site was of great kindness and availability. With very good advice on site also.

Nice, clean gated home within walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Las Galeras. Highly recommended!

Unfortunally we hadn't any personal contact with Yohann but instead we met his very friendly mother Fanny. She really made our time there very relaxing and helped us to enjoy our stay at this great house. If we had any questions we could ask Fanny who lived a few minutes by feet away or we just contacted Yohann via mail. Also the distance to the beach through the the lovely small city is small and can be reached by feet in a few minutes. We would definitely recommend it especially for four guests. But even for 2 persons (like we've been) it's really great there.

Great location. Close to beaches and the town. Property is off the street and surrounded by a high wall, making us feel safe and secluded. Home is basic, but has all necessities. Did not have any kitchen consumables (we had to buy our own salt, cooking oil, everything). Overall a great deal if you plan to mostly spend time at the beach and don't want to cook gourmet meals.

We had a great time in this house. Everything was exactly as described, and the property was even better! Fany is a very nice, friendly, and a really helpful person. We couldn't imagine a better host. I hope we'll b able to return to this house next year.

Yohann has a cute little villa and a relaxing garden conveniently located between the main drag and the beautiful beach of Playita. Great for a weekend stay!

Amazing stay. Pretty cheap. Clean and close to beaches and restaurants. The owners, Udo and his wife are very helpful, very friendly and available. Udo speak Spanish and German.

We spent almost 3 weeks at Udo and Jinet. The hotel has us very well, it was great for two people enough, the bathroom has a large shower and very clean. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped, on the terrace you can spend lovely evenings. The complex is surrounded by a very well-kept and beautiful garden. The two beaches are within about 10-15 minutes. 5 minutes away there are 3-4 restaurants and a few bars, so that one is not really boring. For larger purchases, you can take a Quaqua for little money to Samana, where there are larger supermarkets than in Las Galeras. Udo and Jinet are super nice hosts who try to be as convenient as possible for a stay. They help one way they can, be it in arranging tours or questions about the area. Udo has even picked us, for example when we arrived from St. Domingo. For a small fee you can rent a scooter at Udo. In general, we felt very safe and well cared for the entire time and also spent so wonderful weeks in CocoBananaResort and very much hope someday to be able to go back there!

Okay all, very clean and cozy, the kitchen with many utensils and terrace very nice.

Udo was a fantastic host! He even went out of his way to spend some time with us at a local billiards bar! The place was homely and Udo made it all the better. Helped out with the grill when we cooked dinner fish and spent time talking to us about himself and the area. I highly recommend it!

I absolutely loved this place - super clean, comfortable and in a great area. I would definitely recommend it! It's very central to the local shops, the beach and within close proximity to Samana. It's definitely well equipped with everything that you need.

The Coco Banana Resort apartment I can only recommend. We have felt very comfortable here. Udo and his team looked after from the very beginning to us and stood by us with help and advice available. You can tell that it is very important to them that their guests have a pleasant stay in Las Galeras. We particularly liked also the entrance area to use with comfortable armchairs and the opportunity to grill for BBQs.

It is almost impossible! The apartment is totally new, clean, complete with everything your heart needs equipped and also great location. Contact the owner and concurrent neighbors Udo you have a super nice guy and ambient Kenner grasp. He can organize his numerous contacts great trips or sail yourself in his jeep through the area and show great beaches / places. For questions or concerns he is instantly on and cares that your stay is perfect. Absolutely 100% recommendation

The apartment is very clean, the kitchen is equipped with everything you need, outside there is a covered terrace with comfortable seating and a barbecue let fade away the evenings. Udo is a great host, he takes for its guests time and also has great contacts for adventures. He can be reached at any time and with advice and practical help whatever the question. The hotel I can only recommend all great.

I had a lovely time staying at Caterina's home. She is an extremely sweet and generous individual with a big heart. Speaking English, Spanish, and Italian, she's able to accommodate people of different nationalities and make them feel at home. The room is comfortable and has a separate entrance so you can come and go as you please without disrupting anyone. She lives right on the main road just a ten minute walk from the beach. Caterina was very helpful explaining little things about the culture there and warned me about some people overcharging tourists, and she offered to get in touch with her friend for me to go on tours with to prevent over paying. I had a lovely stay and would be happy to stay again next time I'm in Galeras.

It was nice and tipical DR accomodation, Caterina was nice, friendly person.She explained to me where is what.Waiting for us on the pier and catch a bus to Las Galeras from Samana, where her husband and nice son was waiting for us.Many thanks to her

Caterina's place is really good. Nice, clean, comfortable. The value for money here is really high. You won't have any problems while staying here and you will love her family. Absolutely recommended!

Amazing time with the whole family! Caterina is such a helpful, lovely woman. Her husband as well helped us concering organisation of trips and everything. Their son is amazingly adorable. We really loved our time with you! Thank you so much!

Caterina was the most helpful person which we meet on our trip to Domincana. She is always available to answer questions and introduce to joys Las Gallaras.

We didn't end up staying with Caterina (booo!), but she was incredibly kind and organized through out the whole process. She sent a few emails prior to our stay to ensure we had the information we needed for our stay (which is rare). We hope to come back to the DR and when we do, we will definitely be staying with her!

Staying here felt like a home away from my home in California. I don't speak much Spanish, so having such an available and willing host to answer questions was invaluable. Caterina went above and beyond at every turn both before I arrived and past my departure. Traveling solo as a woman was made easy with her helpful suggestions for dining, beach and even whale watching. To say her son is sweet and adorable does not do him justice--kisses to Francesco!!!

Catherine was wonderful from the start, when we arrived late even came to welcome us back from the road, the next day we have been able to direct where to go and what to see and it was exactly what we wanted; to say nothing of its hospitality. Room clean and tidy, linen immaculate, great price for everything the place and location offer, beautiful family especially their little son Francesco, who made us become children again and made us melt with its sweetness. Definitely I recommend it.

luca is a great and helpful person. He helped us a lot to get Informations about las Galeras and how to get to playa Rincon. We talked a lot with luca so the stay was great. The room is great, clean and he has a full kitchen. I recommend the place. The playa rincon is like a small pradise, so you have to go there!

Luca and his mother are very friendly people who make you feel at home. They help you find the cheapest option to go to the nearby beaches. The apartment is clean, has everything you need, bed is comfortable. It is close to supermarkets, beach and guagua station. I recommend this place to everybody. It is a safe place, in a compound with a gate.

Luca reply very fast for messages and we didn't have problems to comunicate, even he doesn't speak English :) The accomodation is in great location, close to the beach. Clean, nice, everything what we needed. Luca was very nice. We enjoyed our staying a lot, and we can recommend that place!

Luca and his Mom were really friendly and helpful with everything. We had a great welcome. The house was clean and awesome. Especially the bed was comfortable. The terasse was good for hanging out and enjoying the atmosphere. Even it was a bit dark inside the apartment I would totally recommend this apartment to everybody. It was a nice stay!

This place is the best choice for staying in Las Galleras! Apartment with big bathroom and the kitchen was sufficient for all we needed. I truly recommend this place! Luca and Marina helped us a lot to organize our days at Las Galleras. When next time in Dominican Republic we will book the same place with no doubt :) Luca and Marina - once again, big thank you from Damian and Kasia

Luca is a extraordinary person. Help you all time and gives to you tips and advices. The place is amazing. I hope to return again

The accomodation was really nice and clean, the position of the house is really central and easy to find. Luca and his mother did everything to enable us a comfortable stay and helped us with everything, totally recommended!

Beba was really helpful as I had to make changes to reservation due to issues of transport around the easter holidays. I was welcomed and shown the room and kitchen. I do not feel the description is accurate when it comes to the kitchen as it is the only place I have ever visited that said they had a kitchen but did not have a fridge. I was shown that there was a fridge, but instead of being in the "kitchen" area, it is kept in the other room for rent, and this was offered if I paid an additional cost for the other room. When I asked why I was told it was because the cost of having the electricity for the fridge is too expensive. Sorry, but this is just wrong. As an Airbnb user and host you can not offer the use of a kitchen, and not have a fridge, or offer it only for the other room and then ask for more money. The description should state there is no fridge in the kitchen unless you pay £4 a night more. After raising this Beba seemed reluctant but offered to put milk in their own fridge upstairs, but that was not ideal as I felt awkward having to ask for it. Later when I gave it to her husband I felt this was not welcomed by him. As I was leaving early the last day I had to keep the milk out and despite being up at 5am it had gone off so I left without breakfast. I did try cooking but found there was only one pan which had broken handles and the only bowl had a large crack through it. It felt like the kitchen had the bits left over that were not wanted for their own use. Having moved onto a similar priced place I have found the differences more noticeable with a ceiling fan and kitchen properly provided for. I did not feel the homestay and friendly experience others have reported and I felt that asking to use a fridge had made it uncomfortable. Another problem was that the fan is very old and noisy and falls over if not propped against the wall. The coat hangers were rusty and left rust marks on a shirt. The mosquitoes were more an issue in the room and just outside than anywhere else I found. I used the coils and an electric device personal repellent and still got bitten more than anywhere else.

Perfect location right in the middle of the town, next to the bank and a couple of restaurants. Room was quite small though and bathroom didn't have a door. Big porch to sit at night

It was a nice stay. Beba was a great host and she was very understandable when we arrive late.

Staying with Beba was super easy! We even could get an earlier check-in, which was nice! The apartment is really close to the beach and it has everything you need! Would recommend it to all of my friends!

The host canceled this reservation 32 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I came with my boyfriend. Beba was kind and helpful! The location was good in the middle of the centrum. The room was very simple! The kitchen had no fridge witch it should have if it says it's a kitchen included. The fan was very old and didn't blow at all. Though we asked Beba to change with the fan from the other room cause there were no other guests and that was much better! The room had So much mosquitos! All together, very simple for budgets but with a very friendly host.

A good and affordable accommodation. The host was extremely helpful

I would recommend this stay to everyone. The room is big, well located, clean and has a lovely decoration. The owner is really really kind and speaks italian, french, spanish and other languages. We really felt comfortable there and would come back any time.

Perfect experience! We booked this place very last minute. Though Michelle was traveling outside of the area, she had her friend Olympia help out with the accommodations. We really lucked out because Olympia took exceptional care of us our entire stay. Thanks again Olympia! Upon arrival, we were greated by Olympia who gave us the keys amd a quick tour of the bungalow. The bungalow itself had a nice garden with a pool and the bungalows were painted beautifully with bright colors. It was perfect for the 2 of us. Everything was as described from the mosquito net bed, kitchenette, WiFi availability, accessibility, etc... Our experience here was fantastic and the staff was amazing. I highly recommend this to anyone traveling Las Galeras. Rick

A beautiful tropical garden escape. The house is a couple of minutes from the beach, which is stunning by the way, and Michelle met us when we arrived. She is lovely and helped us with everything we needed. The house is quiet and clean and close to the town with restaurants, bars and shops. Do bring mosquito repellant so you can enjoy the garden and pattio as it should be as they might be around. Thank you Michelle for a lovely stay!

Michelle was very accommodating, checking in every day to make sure that I always had everything I needed. She also helped me out with purchasing local fruits & vegetables, letting me know when the trucks came around to sell, and helping with translation (my Spanish is very limited). She even helped me to buy some very delicious cheese that was not locally available. The best part was the fantastic whale watching trip that we went on with another couple staying in one of the other bungalows. We saw many whales and enjoyed a gorgeous day on a beautiful, secluded beach. Another treat - she had a woman stop by to give great manicures and pedicures!

Very nice cottage. Comfy. Cozy. Close to the beach. Wonderful hospitality. Thank you Michelle.

The house No. 3 "Hummingbird" and stayed two months is a rip about the value for money !!! On Airbnb sites and TripAdvisor all the photos shown are taken from angles that does not allow you to get a real idea of what awaits you ... a simple and ridiculous room of 12 square meters, followed by 4 more square meters for shower room + sink and toilet ... In the photos presented the 2 rooms are decorated and ornate, actually have 2 rooms devoid of any form of decoration, this "hut" that is not worth a good room in Paris. We speak a terrace with kitchen, terrace indeed this might be nice if it was bright and sunny, but being in the garden and badly exposed the house "Colibri" is super wet and infected mosquitoes that products at all kind can fight ... If during your stay you are unfortunately faced with days of heavy rain as often here so I can not tell you the blow to morale to have to stay locked in the hospice ... Having paid the first month in advance and the second month commitment I could unfortunately stay in this house. I do not understand how the 3 houses in Michelle hire can all just as eligible for "Excellence" from TripAdvisor, it is a scandal for the price of € 1,250 monthly I could expect much better. During my 2 months in the lovely village of Las Galeras I could see that he was soon possible to find very nice locations for 600 to € 800 monthly ... anyway here for € 1,250 you can expect a little paradise. Michelle always something you sell, it is the only one not to offer a sliding scale for longer stays, for me it was € 41 multiplied by 60 days ... it should have awaken me suspicious, but the pictures were nice ... and misleading !!! One bright, good humor and kindness of Maribelle, Dominican responsible for the maintenance ... Thank you sweet and kind Maribelle))) Do not make like me ... run away and avoid this scam !!! But go anyway in Las Galeras you can spend good time loan of nature)))

We had a lovely stay with Michelle. The bungalow was beautiful, comfortable, and private. We were minutes away from a gorgeous beach. Michelle also prepared a wonderful breakfast with local ingredients. Definitely worth the drive!!!

A peaceful stay SERCA all good atmosphere to relax. Clean quiet nice garden, pleasant and safe Michel and his very kind and willing to help give information husband and what is needed, simple site. I recommend.

Excellent place to stay. The place was cozy and a short walk to the beach. Breakfast was tasty (the homemade bread was fantastic). Also was invaluable to get tips on where to go and what to do from locals

Communicate was very attentive and friendly. I loved the place, spacious, nice, neat, clean and quiet. With a pretty little sea view

Amazing trip! Location is absolutely perfect and true to the description. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone and will hopefully return myself one day.

Heavenly! Our stay at Aparthotel La Isleta was so peaceful. Dominique was kind and very helpful with suggestions of taxi drivers, restaurants and excursions. He knows what he is talking about! Our vacation was the quiet rest we were hoping for and the beauty of Las Galeras was incredible. It is an authentic Dominican Republic experience with lots of interaction with the locals. Our place was exactly as portrayed in the photos. I hope we can visit again!

Dominique was a great host. It was very easy to communicate with him before we arrived and during our stay. The flat was exactly as described on the airbnb posting, and included everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The area is beautiful and Dominique was very kind to suggest things to see and places to eat it. We highly recommend and we would love to stay again!

Dominique was a wonderful host. He was very kind and always available to give us useful information. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous and a wonderful location, right on the beach. Amazing things to do in the area. Everything was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We really loved staying here.

Dominique was very friendly and helpful. We picked up a boat to Playa Fronton and Playa Madama from just outside the property; very convenient. Breakfast was included in our stay. It was large and delicious. Very happy with our stay.

Great place with a wonderful oceanview! The pool and bar are very nice and the apartment has everything you need. If you love to see the beauty of the real dominican republic you have to visit this area!!!

Nice guy easy going, flexible and available. The place is really beautiful and the flat is perfect. Just an important detail, I really think it's perfect for two people not for 4. For various reason, first you have no intimacy between room/bed upstairs and the living room downstairs because there is no separation between them, it's not two different room, juste one over the other withoutroof/walls. Secondly the bed in the living room are not real beds and don't have mosquito net. But again the place is beautiful and perfect for 2 persons or more if they don't need intimacy and realize that the two extra bed are really not as good as the big one.

The house is located in Las Galeras, 5min by car to the beach. The beach is one of the best, with palm tree above the water. The house has 2 rooms with one single bed and double bed, kitchen and living room. In the kitchen there is everything for cooking and eating. All the stuff is not new or modern, but ok. Yolanda is very friendly person! It was a big pleasure to communicate with her, although she speaks spanish and our knowledges of spanish is poor,so sometimes it was hard to understand each other. Yolanda treated us with different local fruits. They were very tasty. Thanks for your hospitality! I hope we will back one day!

Simply perfect ! The place is beautiful and the host was super kind with us ! I really advice everyone to go and visit las galeras and stay at Roberto's ! I will go again soon !

The contact before our arrival was very good, Roberto was very helpful and explained everything. The place in Las Galeras was very comfortable, clean and cosy. We didnt meet Roberto but Yolanda was very kind and helpful, she explained everything about the place (hot water, lights, fans). The place is fully furnished and there is everything you need (pots, pans, plates, cutlery, mugs, glasses). There is a fridge, cooker and oven. Unfortunately Yolanda speaks only spanish, but we didnt have problems to understand each other.

It was a pleasure to stay here. Yolanda is really perfect host. Always kind, helpful and hospitable women. It was great experience for us to taste dominican cuisine and various kind of tropical fruits. Comfortable accomodation with the terrace where you can relax. It will be worth to come back one day!

We received Yolanda, charming. The house is modest but as presented. The quiet, near the village and near the beach.

House was beautiful! Stefano was incredibly helpful and always there in case we needed something. View from the garden was incredible! Highly recommended!

Villa Caribeña was hands down one of the most beautiful spots I've ever visited, and Stefano was such a gracious host. Despite the pictures we were pleasantly surprised by just how gorgeous the home and property were. Moreover, the closest beach, La Playita, is only about a 5 minute walk. This beach has chairs and umbrellas for free, stands for fruit/food, and was not very crowded. The beauty of the turquoise waters was simply hard to believe. I'd recommend a trip to Villa Caribeña for anyone looking for a trip to a region of DR that's off the beaten path of resorts, etc. The natural beauty of Samana is incredible. Although the village is nearby and convenient for some basic necessities and restaurants, the highlight of a trip to the Villa is the property and natural surroundings. It does take a bit more time/energy than you'd expect to get to the Villa if you rent a car, simply because the roads aren't well labeled in the DR. For this reason, I'd recommend considering Stefano's help with a driver from the airport. That said, we liked having our own vehicle in order to travel to other nearby beaches such as Playa Rincon. In the low tourist season, please be sure to ask Stefano which beaches are the best. The people in Las Galeras were very kind, but as always you want to use discretion when traveling to remote beaches, etc., and I say this because the beaches are so remote you could end up being the only tourists on some of them! If I had to do the trip again, I'd probably get a ride from the airport rather than rent a car. I'd also enjoy La Playita most days because it's amazing and just so convenient, and then take a taxi one or two days to Playa Rincon. Hope you enjoy your trip to the Villa!!

We had a great experience!

A beautiful house (looks even nicer than the photos) in a genuinely wonderful location. Las Galeras is the perfect seaside town and Stefano's place is located close enough to both restaurants and La Playita (the best beach in town in my opinion), but has a really private feel. It really felt like a second home and we were only there two nights. The design and decor of the house was really stunning and Stefano himself couldn't be more helpful and accommodating. Can't wait to go back!

We stayed here for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. The view from the house is absolutely gorgeous. You can quickly walk to the main Las Galeras beach as well as Playita in just a few minutes. The house itself is fantastic and very comfortable. Stefano is a wonderful host. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Stefano was a great and very accommodating host! He facilitated hiring an amazing cook for us as well as other excursions and ensured we had everything we needed. I highly recommend staying at this very cozy villa, it has great views and was incredibly relaxing. When I return to Las Galeras I will look to Stefano to host my stay.

If you are making the effort to go to Las Galeras, this is the place to stay! Truly, the pictures don't do it justice. The interior is as wonderful as the view from the back deck. We spent wonderful mornings sipping our coffee and reading on the back patio, with the sounds of the ocean adding a beautiful sound track...You can walk to a beautiful beach to swim and snorkel, as well as walk into town for food, drinks, and groceries. Stephano is on point every step of the way. he took such good care of us. From directing our driver, getting us connected with the boat driver we used for all our trips to surrounding islands, a driver to the airport...anything we needed, he was there to help. Seriously, if you're going to Las Galeras, book your trip around the availability of this location-it is that awesome.

We just left Las Galeras yesterday and I am already dreaming of returning! Stefano's villa was perfect for our group of 4. Each couple had their own room and bathroom, which was great! The view from the backyard is incredible. It was wonderful going to sleep to the sound of the ocean and waking up to a wonderful view. It was a 10 minute walk to the beautiful La Playita (highly recommended) and 10 minutes to the main street in town with restaurants and local life. The house is tucked in a quiet corner and we felt completely safe walking to and from each evening. Everyone in Las Galeras is beautiful, inside and out. So friendly and welcoming! Stefano was a wonderful host, he gave us space but was always available when needed. His dog is a great addition to the property :). He even helped arrange our transportation to and from Santo Domingo. We couldn't have asked for a better stay and we highly recommend visiting this beautiful town and getting a taste of the local culture. It was unforgettable!

Olympia knows Las Galeras well and has lot of tips what to do and where to go. She is a very friendly person and her place offers many space.

tiny, nice bungalow, near the beach. Simple, quiet, wonderful.

The Casa Noni is a really romantic little house with lots of charm and Caribbean flair. Our 5-year-old daughter have especially the large grounds with the free-roaming animals very much. It was also great that we were given every day fresh fruit from the garden of Lolo that tasted delicious! Nevertheless, we have not felt good for the following reasons: - It was in the house and on the porch too many mosquitoes and no way to expel them short or longer term. - The bed was for us as a couple too small (135x190); the mosquito nets we took even on each side 10 cm away since these rather not, I want to touch the night ;-). - There was only cold water and the bathroom is really very basic. We moved after 5 days in another apartment in the same place. Juan and Lolo have used its best endeavors to make our Auftenthalt mosquito-free and enjoyable. They were very nice and helpful and gave us some of the money refunded when they should not have to do this according AirBnB rules. As hosts, we would recommend the two continue.

Juan y Lolo were a very welcoming couple and a great source of information about Las Galeras and its surroundings. The house was very cute and exactly as described. The location is fantastic, but if you are in Las Galeras for peaceful tranquility, we would recommend staying in one of their other properties, as this particular one is in the middle of town and close to bars and clubs that were at times rather loud, presumably due to the festive season.

a nice, tiny house in a quiet and fantastic green anbience in a 5minutes-walking distance to the beach. as nice, that we decided to stay a few days longer. juan and lolo are the best hosts you can imagine : open to help, if any help is needed, open minded and alway there to give a good hint for having a good time.all this for very fair price. highly recommended!

cute boutique hotel. Express check in only stayed one night. Nice room and picina. Breakfast included

Great spot.

Great place! Right next to the main corner of the city and 2 min from the beach. Tapas restaurant next door was completely amazing too, highly recommend :) Check-in was the easiest I've ever had - just arrived and got the keys and that was it :) Super-friendly owner who attended to everything we needed! Pictures are accurate! Room was smallish but everything was brand new and spotless clean, with both aircon and fan, and a terrass towards the pool! It was everything we hoped and more, would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Las Galeras!

Loved the proximity to the beach and restaurants. Clean and friendly staff and Breakfast was wonderful!

Every minute of my stay was fantastic! Sarah and the rest of the staff were incredibly warm, welcoming and helpful. They helped me arrange great excursions and transport back to Samana as well. Rooms are clean and inviting, food is delicious (big portions!), and there are amazing beaches to visit during the day. As a young woman traveling alone, it can be nerve wracking to show up at an unfamiliar place....but Sarah + staff made me feel so welcome and safe. Thank you!

Las galeras is a simply paradise with its raw rugged landscapes and pristine beaches. I loved my stay at Chalet Tropical - and Sarah was the perfect host and only too happy to help with the simplest of requests. My room was in a beautiful central chalet which had an incredible communal kitchen and outdoor dining areas with hammocks strung up to catch the afternoon breeze. Everything was easy walking distance and the beach a quick 5 min stroll. As a single female traveller I appreciated the security at CTropical and always felt safe both at home and walking around the area! Breakfast was incredible and the highlight of my stay. I cannot wait to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something special

Wonderful experience, The location is great and Sarah was super communicative prior to our arrival. She went above and beyond during our stay and added to our excellent experience. Very highly recommended.

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved staying here. It is such a wonderful and cool place. It's walking distance to a pretty beach and the town. Breakfast was amazing, eating delicious food and drinking a tasty fruit drink outside is the best way to start your day.

I have been many, many places and have used a number of Airbnb spaces, but I do not always take the time to review them, however, Sarah was a must. Sarah and chalet tropical is AMAZING! I have lived in the DR for 2 years, which means that I have seen a number of places and properties here, but this has been one of my favorites. Chalet tropical looks the same as it does in the pictures. The other guests and workers were equally amazing, and the breakfast was both gorgeous and amazing! I really did not want to leave. There were minor problems, but Sarah was eager to solve them. Las galeras is a very quiet town, so I felt that it was the perfect getaway for a relaxing calm trip. I think that solo travelers, couples, and friends looking for a nice, relaxing getaway would truly love this place. All that said, I loved it and would certainly stay again. Thanks, Sarah!

Wer tropisches Inselflair in einer liebevoll gestalteten Unterkunft mit natürlichen Baumaterialien und Deko sucht, ist hier genau richtig! Ich habs genossen:)

I would stay again! Great location close to La Playita and Boca del Diablo.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

My stay at Hotel Playita was absolutely fantastic. The room was bright and clean, the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, and the hotel amenities (pool, patio, restuarant/bar) were all fantastic. The location could not have been better as it was less than 10 minutes walking from both Playa Grande and La Playita. I would highly recommend the cabana at Hotel Playita to anyone visiting Las Galeras!

Nice clean room. And good service. But we have stung many insects, could not sleep.

We booked a 3 night stay at Hotel Playita. When we arrived a lady welcomed us but,once in the office,she stared at the calendar and told us that she didn't have any booking with our names. That was pretty strange to us, then I noticed our names were actually on their calendar and I just told her our name was there! Then the lady said she had to talk with the owner. She came back and told us there were no room available for us,but that would have upgraded us to a bigger apartment. Happy about that,we had to wait a couple of hours. When we came back,another lady showed us the apt. Good. The air conditioning wasn't working. No chairs in the room. The paint was flaking off the walls. The toilet bowl was completely brown,scaled up as if not used for years. The toilet sink had no water; then we found out it was like that because it was strongly leaking by the pipes under the sink. So we were supposed to open and close the the main tap (hidden under the sink, within a stinking old furniture full of dead insects. The walls of the toilet were disgustingly dirty. The balcony was pretty nice,but there was a rusty and dirty fridge (hair and dust inside). Ok,we told the lady we wouldn't have stayed in those conditions and she answered she would have talked with the owner.Then the owner told us that we could move to another apt where a friend of him was staying at the moment. He showed where the apt was and, actually, a lady was staying in it. We noticed the housekeeper(we assume she was one of the housekeepers with some extra decisional power )was very annoyed with us, as that was our fault!!! Anyway, in a few minutes the room was ready for us! We entered and we realized that he toilet hadn't been cleaned!!!!! There were woman's hair everywhere on the sink and in the shower!!! Unbelievable! On the room shelves there were paint flakes which nobody cleaned up before our check in! Ok,we were tired,so decided to clean it up roughly and sleep. Of course, we had a hard (URL HIDDEN) started raining.Strong.A lot of rain.The wind was coming in through the windows and the "main door' was made just of wooden bars with a mosquito net and nothing else! No glass, nothing. The wind was coming in from the space between the bars(imagine an old window - shutter with 3 to 4cm space between the wooden bars!).We slept in the middle of wind and rain! Unbelievable again! Well,we passed the night.The morning after we told the owner's father we wanted to leave(we just saw the owner for a few minutes at our check in and when he showed us the new apt,then he disappeared and did not care about us anymore).The gentleman was very condescending and offered to give us back our money for the 2 nights left.At least we appreciated...

This listing is very misleading. The Wifi was totally unreliable and barely worked. We were told "it comes and goes, nothing we can do about it." No one was available to answer questions if you didn't speak Spanish really well. We speak a little Spanish, but are by no means fluent, meaning: We were out of luck. Our room was located in what was essentially a long shack that had been divided by concrete walls and pieces of plywood (to section off tiny bathrooms). There were no windows, and only a screen door on the front. The bathroom did not have a door, only a curtain. The ceiling fan worked about half of the time and swung wildly as if it would fall off the ceiling at any moment (and there were no windows or air conditioning, so it was much hotter in the room than outside). There were bugs and lizards all over our room (luckily we thought the lizards were cute). The bathroom was dark and dingy and tiny, contrary to the pictures on this site. The neighborhood, just off the main strip, is extremely loud as all the neighbors blast music at all hours. The patrons staying in the other larger rooms (what they call "apartments") were really loud too (as were their dogs, which barked all the time). No one was there to control the noise, or ask for dogs to be quieted. We had to sleep with ear plugs in every night, and could still hear all of the music blaring and the dogs in the other rooms barking. We understand this is a budget listing, and were not expecting anything unrealistic. We are travelers who have stayed in hostels and all sorts of places. But you shouldn't advertise excellent Wifi, clean rooms, staff to answer questions, and a quiet neighborhood, if that is not the case. We have traveled all over the world, and have stayed in many types of places, and rarely have a bad thing to say. We just felt that people should know what the real deal is here. We would have much rather paid a little more to stay at one of the other nearby establishments, such as Coco Rio or the Eco Lodge, had we known it would be this bad. I would definitely not stay here again. The only plus sides were that we could walk to two beaches, and nothing was stolen from our room. Everything else was not as advertised (our cabana did not look like the cabana in the pictures, except that the walls were also painted white).

Very beautiful experience! My sister and I spent 3 nights here and was just perfect: las galeras is really beautiful and calm, perfect to relax. The hotel is very well located, very close to a beautiful beach, restaurants and bar. The restaurant of the hotel is really good and we had our dinners and breakfasts there. The owner is very nice and friendly and we loved to spend time with him and his family. Unforgettable the horse riding to playa el rincón! Hope to come back!

When we arrived, we were told that only one night is possible, although we had booked two nights. Since only Spanish was spoken, the communication was structured at the beginning a little difficult. We were then transferred to a different room, very large and with a large balcony. Everything was already a bit old but still clean and in order. A further extension of the stay was uncomplicated. All in all a very good stay.
