Beach Hotels in Estero Hondo

The host Janine was very welcoming and accomodating, we felt at home right away. She hooked us up with a tour to Cayo Arena which was way cheaper and much less crowded than the tours with the big tourist boats and was generally very helpfull. Breakfast at the beach was also very pleasant and our room was cleaned every day. I would definitely stay there again.

Amazing experience at Blue Island Punta Rucia! The staff is absolutely incredible—super friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything you need. The restaurant is fantastic, with delicious, fresh food and a beautiful seaside setting. But the real highlight was the private excursions to Cayo Arena—100% worth it! Easily the best thing I’ve seen in the Dominican Republic. We saw so many colourful fish, enjoyed crystal-clear waters, and had a completely personalised experience. Highly recommended! Hope to be back soon.

Fantastic place and the best host in the world. She explained everything around, told numerous stories about way of being there which was super interesting. We had a problem with the car and she organized local people to help us. The place is magical. Super safe and friendly, paradise that you need to see and experience.

What we liked most about it was the great service from the staff . Yocairy was an excellent manager who, greeted us, organised our tour to Cayó Arena and let us shower and stay longer in our rooms. The staff from the restaurant went over the mile to make our stay a wonderful experience.

Wonderful stay! We are very happy about our experience - the qualified and friendly staff, beautiful surroundings, amazing breakfast. Everything was according to our expectations and better! There was nothing additional for us to ask, everything was provided. If we are in Dominican again, we'll definitely stay here another time!

If you are looking for quite, beautiful, walk out of your room and have the sunrise and your feet at the sand beach, great coffee and a boat ride around the cost, lovely sand bar in a clear ocean water. This is the place to come. Unbelievable!

All of it! 1. The beach, it was quiet and beautiful steps from our room across the road. A beautiful, unoccupied long stretch to walk each day, the most incredible sunrises happened in front of our eyes. It is amazing to fall asleep to the sound of the waves and a warm, gentle breeze every night 💕 2. Location was perfect. We wanted peace and tranquility, and this beautiful place has it! It's approximately 2km from the main street of Punta Rucia and all the hustle and bustle. At the end of our road was a Manatee sanctuary Linos Pizza-amazing! You must try this place. From the street you can not tell there is a restaurant. As you walk through, it opens up onto the beach. Very reasonable price. One pizza was plenty for 2. We had a table at the edge of the beach and witnessed a magnificent sunset. Soooo good-we went 2 times. Damaris Resto-local owners are so sweet, and they will make you fresh seafood and fried sweet potatoes or plantains. Again, it is a very reasonable price. Blue Island hotel resto-drive through the main road of Punta Rucia to the end and turn right. If you crave americanized food, this is the place. Again, the freshest seafood linguini and shrimp with coconut pie. More expensive here, price matched to Canadian prices. The local mercado(grocery)- sweet little grocery for some typical needs. Water, coffee, buns, cheese, chocolate, cold beer, evaporated milk. RUM :) Reasonable price. Be sure to go to Maritires restaurant ask for Anderson and book the boat rise to Playa Arena Paradise Island for 25$ US dollars ...so much fun! 3. The WiFi and movies in our room. So nice to be able to use the wifi for free! Not like the reaorts that charge +++$$ 4. The daily breakfast-wonderfully made with scrambled eggs, fresh fruit and avocado tomato cucumber and deli meats. 5. The hosts! Johan the owner was wonderful and provided lots of local tips for us to explore. Aurora made us an incredible breakfast each morning with a smile. We will go back again!

I like the costumer service, how detailed oriented they were. It made that experience 10/10. I cant recomened this stay enough.
