Frogs sang us to sleep, and the garden was lovely, full of tropical flowering plants and paths between the buildings. The layout is gorgeous, with a beautiful pool and a location right by a small river. There are updated houses in different sizes, from one to three rooms for rent, and some have mini kitchens. The on-site restaurant serves good food, including local and German dishes. I believe it is owned by Germans who came for the many water sports and fell in love with the DR. Be warned, you may not want to leave either. The beach is about a mile away, there's a grocery store half a mile away, and kitesurfing is popular. This is a hostel with good prices, so the air conditioning only runs in the evening. Most Dominicans live without AC, and you'll probably be out during the day anyway. When someone in our group got sick, housekeeping was told and turned on the AC. For safety in the DR, use bottled water even when brushing your teeth. It was a truly inexpensive week in paradise. I took lots of pictures of our restaurant food and the flowers, though I wasn't thinking about writing a review at the time. Now it's snowing where I live in March, so remembering the stay helps keep me warm.
