Perfect resort next to Playa Ensenada, which is in the country side with lots of cows. Incredible value for your money. There is a parking lot on the premises for our rental car. We got the "king suite" which is a large room with a queen size bed, balcony, TV, mini fridge, table, black out curtains, and bathroom with hot water. The WIFI is insanely strong throughout the whole resort! The pool is big and beautiful and had jets on the sides. We had free breakfast every morning. The host was AMAZING, he is absolutely wonderful. He would give us anything we requested and would ask us every morning what we wanted for breakfast and he would have it made for us (fruit, eggs, fried cheese, he even made us arepas himself). The resort was very quiet. The resort is a short 2-4 min walk to Playa Ensenada and a short 5 min drive to Punta Rucia. Both beaches are breathtaking, gorgeous calm blue water. Lots of restaurants nearby and a town with a pharmacy and gas station is a 10 min drive away.

Nothing really. The water pressure could have been a little stronger in the shower.

Close to Ensenada Beach! The breakfast was fine and so was the unlimited coffee! We have been living here for 15 years. The prices of hotels in Punta Rucia are getting more and more expensive and we have stayed at many of them. This hotel was great for the money. Remember that you are in the Dominican Republic, so things are different here. The rooms were CLEAN, airconditioned, hot water and a TV!! Woo Hoo!! This property has a lot more potential, but as things go in the DR....Manana!! No Complaints!!

Absolutely loved the whole experience! We began our search for affordable and relatively central locations in order to be close to punta rucia and be able to explore all it has to offer. We were pleased to find out that La ensenada resort not only accepted pets but they treated both our dogs as if they were their own! That is especially hard to find in Dominican Republic! All of the facilities were incredibly clean and the a/c blows a nice Alaskan breeze which is comforting after being in the sun all day long. Aside from that I wish I could give the staff more than 5 stars, they were extremely attentive and courteous. Anything you need, at any time they were always at your service. Great experience! I really wish we could have stayed forever!

Nothing! Everything exceeded my expectations!
