I enjoyed staying here. The location is central in Bayahibe which means it's very convenient to everything, though also gets some street noise (e.g., motorcycles) and quite a bit of evening music from nearby buildings, so just be aware of that if you want to go to bed early. (Sundays are especially noisy until late.) I felt safe in the neighborhood and liked the extra safety of the front gate. The owners and other staff are very accommodating and eager to make it a great experience for guests, and the cleaning team works very hard and is quite thorough. The apartments were a bit dated (dark, heavy window dressings and dark paneling) but spacious and comfortable, and it was good to have access to a mini-fridge, silverware, and burners. I initially had a room on the first floor but then moved to the second floor and this was much better--a lot more private, with better breezes and slightly better noise control. There is a very sweet cat that came to visit me frequently, which I loved. The morning fruit and coffee, often with a freshly made cake or muffins, was a great addition. The price seemed very reasonable and I was able to pay by credit card without a giant extra fee, which I very much appreciated.
