Beach Hotels in Estero Hondo

Staying at Villa Rosa was a wonderful real DR experience. Janine is a warmhearted and wonderful host. We also enjoyed the room, the food and the breakfast. At my husbands birthday the staff put a lot of Beautiful flowers in our room and there was a birthday surprise at breakfast. Thankyou❤️

Wonderful breakfast and the location is fantastic. The view is breathtaking, very cozy apartment

- Everything. Location, gorgeous beach, availability of services, very helpful and friendly staff.

Location! Location! Location… and Janine!! In front of the beach, in a small village. Not touristic at all. The room is on the first floor with a full view on a beautiful and secluded sandy beach, from the 6 windows. It is huge and nicely furnished. We also loved that the bathroom was outside and that we could take our breakfast and dinner directly on the beach. As if the whole beach was ours. And there is… Janine who brings the whole stay to the next level. She is lovely, always with a smile, will gladly book your trip to Cayo arena (a must!) and, if you ask her, she will tell you all about the local life (which she knows for sure, she has been here for more than 8 years and has been managing Tropic ecolodge and Villa Rosa for 5 years!). We learnt so much. And she prepares amazing cocktails too! As for the dinner, we had very tasty fish, lambis, prepared by the small restaurant next door and brought directly to our table on the beach (to be paid directly to the restaurant). Overall a small hidden paradise and you almost feel you are part of the local life too. Stay at least two nights… or more.

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!

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.

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