Tropical Island Hotel

OH MAN, I wouldn't stay at this hotel again. The beds were old and squeaky, there were bed bugs, and there was barely any water. There are no elevators or sea views, and bees were buzzing at night. The electricity was turned off, making it hard to sleep. Luis, the manager, was very unprofessional and unreliable. His wife was very nice. This is the worst hotel in DR, PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE.

I first planned to stay at the Aparthotel for a week, but ended up there for a month. The first day or two didn't feel very comfortable, though it got more comfortable as time went on. The staff were always friendly, and Mr Sanchez is a great person who keeps trying to make everyone feel at home, which is a really hard job. I liked the apartment/hotel. It was clean and friendly, and I'm sure I'll be back soon.

The location was quiet and felt very secure. It's near the main routes, about an 8 minute walk to the ocean, and you can see the water from the balconies. I stayed for two weeks and already miss the place because it felt like home. Donald and his wife worked very hard to keep everything in order and spotless, and they were friendly the whole time. The apartment was clean when I arrived, all the appliances worked, and they dealt with any issues quickly. The a/c was great, the WiFi excellent, and the power never went out. Each floor has an open-air balcony with a domino table and chairs, and I was glad to have use of the washer and clothes line upstairs. Thanks. Scott Martinetti

Mr. Sanchez is kind and welcoming, and really makes you feel at home. The hotel is clean and lovely, with lots of security, and the staff are awesome. I'd give the place 10 STARS and highly recommend it. I'll visit again!
