Manaya Bed & Breakfast

We only stayed one night and had everything we needed. The place is cozy, the garden is calm, and breakfast was generous. Great value for the money.

The staff were exceptionally kind and made me feel more cared for than I have at any other hotel. Breakfast was good, and there’s a supermarket and a few small restaurants nearby, which was handy. The location itself is just okay. I was traveling alone and spent around €13-15 on a round trip Uber to the beach each day. Still, the hotel’s attractive price more than made up for that. I highly recommend it.

This affordable little place is about a 15-20 minute drive from the shores of Punta Cana, and my husband and I would stay here again. We’d rather spend money on activities than spend thousands on a resort, and this worked out great. It’s in a safe, welcoming neighborhood with lots of schools, so you hear children coming and going, though we didn’t find it bothersome. An adorable older couple owns the place. They greet you and give you keys for the front door and your room. Our room was very clean, and we could control the air conditioning ourselves. A small breakfast menu is included in the room price each morning. Two small drawbacks: I wish there had been a mini-fridge, and the shower’s hot water lasts only about 5-10 minutes, so you have to be quick.

A real gem. I felt completely safe and relaxed, and the owner was welcoming and very helpful about where to eat, especially since I’m American and don’t know the area. The homemade breakfast was simple, with three choices, coffee, and orange juice. The pool and Jacuzzi both looked great, though I wish I’d used them. Rooms each have their own 10-gallon tank, so showers need to be quick. That’s a minor issue for me since I take quick showers anyway. I’ll definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
