The hotel is a good option for resting. It has a good value for your money.

Pros.

Pricing. We payed about USD50 per night, which is on the low/mid end of what you can find.
Cleanliness. It was very clean and tidy. A person was always cleaning the external areas while we were there.
Staff. The staff was very friendly and wanted to please your needs.
Breakfast. Very good breakfast. It was abundant and very tasty. They made it on demand, not buffet like.
Pool. This is good if you have small kids.
Location. The hotel location is convenient if you want to go to the town and it has a great view of the sea.

Cons.

Even though it was remodeled there are some details that were lacking. For instance the bathroom shower showed it's age and it had an unusual piping connection outside the wall. There was no hot water, but apparently this is normal on the hotels of the three area.

Pros: Great price.It isn't listed with any travel service because they only take cash no credit cards.The price of a room with one bed is 2300 pesos (about 51 dollars), the double room, two beds ,slightly bigger than full size but smaller than queen, was 2500 pesos, about 55 dollars .This was for a 2nd floor ocean view room. 2) Great sunrises, since it is farther south, the sun moves up the horizon quickly, about 2 minutes from first peeking over the horizon to completely above it.The sun is dead center fom the hotel. 3)Friendly attentive staff, they even wash your car but please tip the man who does it.

Cons: Once THE élite hotel in this part of the country, (My wife is a Barahona native so she knows), new owners are renovating the hotel, apparently on a piecemeal basis.There's new flooring and A/C but the bathrooms and televisions need up dating.It doesn't interfere with the guests as far as I can tell.Also there is no sand beach and I don't know how swimmable it is, but there is a pool.They have free wifi, but the closer you are to the lobby the better it works.If staying in Barahona,this is a good choice.a
