would like to thank Yocairy Nunez, the hotel manager. She made the entire experience feel like a real vacation. She was very responsive via email and WhatsApp, answering every question I had even before my arrival. Yocairy ensured that every member of my family and friends had a wonderful stay and always asked how we were doing.
I also want to mention that the rooms were very clean. The sheets smelled like clean laundry, and I was quite impressed by how tidy the rooms were. The best part of the resort was the beach.
I also want to give a shout-out to the Paradise Island Catamaran captains. I believe one of the guys' name was Jersen. Both the captain and his assistant (Jersen) were wonderful and very attentive during the Cayo Arena excursion. Special thanks to Yocairy again for helping us set that up.

Having visited both Ensenada and Punta Rucia beaches...
Having visited both Ensenada and Punta Rucia beaches regularily over the last 25 Years Punta Rucia is by far the best ... Ensenada has gone down in all aspects. We loved our experiance at Punta Rucia Lodge resort, the service, prices, staff's attention and overall service in all departments was excellent, the beach front well kept, clean and serviced by security ( available if needed) wonderful place to visit!!

It is definitely a hidden gem!
It is definitely a hidden gem! One must stay there for 2-3 nights rather than doing the Cayo Arena tour and leaving. There are many activities that you can do but the best actually is not doing anything and just enjoying the quietness of the beach and ocean. For some people, it might feel unsafe as the area is quite poor and the town itself has more local tourists but in reality, there is nothing to be afraid of. People are super nice and I even met solo traveling girls staying at the local B&Bs. Order pizza from Lino Pizza, and you will thank me! Also if you go to Cayo Arena look for Rikeury, 15y old boy who can show you the reef, he is the best!

It looks like a beautiful resort.
It looks like a beautiful resort. However, I'd suggest doing the day pass if you're close by. We had no hot water and there were mosquitoes EVERYWHERE in our lodge. Also, we didn't have wifi in our lodge, which they did end up giving us a booster.
The beach was beautiful and tranquil. I truly enjoyed the seclusion and peaceful atmosphere.
The food was okay. They had some small local spots outside of the resort, but it was definitely easier to eat on the resort.

There is nothing to do or see
There is nothing to do or see
It's quite hard to find fruits or vegetables in this area
It's a really small village - one night is enough!
Cayo Arena is the place everybody goes to, so by daytime there are hundreds of tourist being on a small island to snorkle there - it feels like mass processing!

The place is breath-taking.
The place is breath-taking. The beach is beautiful and clean. The place is far from the touristic area, it s quiet and relaxing. The breakfast is good. The service at the restaurant and bar is very good. The restaurant is a bit expensive but the food is good (mix of french/italian/dominican food.
Overall we were quit disappointed with our experience:
- there is a huge lack of information; we would have liked a booklet in the room referencing the prices and duration of the spa treatments, the excursions, the restaurant working hours etc...
- we realise after 4 days that the beach chairs have mattresses (100 times more confortable), they only put them on the w.e. Same for the beach towels, one day they are available, one day we have to take the swimming pool one. Same for shampoo and shower gel (I had to ask twice)
-the room cleaning could be improved, the mirror and the area around the sink were not cleaned daily.
- we were on honeymoon, the manager said he will send us flowers, we never got them...
- the front desk lady doesn't speak english
Overall we think that the value for money is not really positive for this hotel. Amazing place but average service.

Punta Rucia is a remote location on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, it is heaven! untouched by big chain hotels and truly hope it remains that way!!!! Cannot wait to go back to its sandy beaches!
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!!
Breakfast was delicious. Rene and his staff are very welcoming and helpful. He organized the best excursion to Cayo Arena and even drove us to the departing site. The room was clean, spacious, quiet and had an amazing view. The hotel is kept in pristine condition, with a beautiful desert garden and other wonderful surprises. The beach, located only about 10 minutes by foot, is AMAZING. I am definitively recommending this hotel to all my friends and family and we will definitively be back!
Villa Rosa is a great small hotel that is right by the beach. Shannon was an amazing host and we felt so welcomed in Punta Rucia and with our choice of hotels. She made us an amazing breakfast in the morning that was beyond my expectations for the price we paid for the one-night stay. If the room had not been booked the following night, we would have stayed again. We will definitely go back!
When we visited it was amazingly quiet and relaxing to wake up by the ocean and watch the waves. The water is so blue, one cannot take their eyes off it. The hotel staff is extra friendly and kind, and we appreciated it a lot. The room had everything we needed and the hammock was the best! Also enjoyed playing basketball in the garden and the Cayo Arena tour they organized for us, a lot!
Love everything about it from the rustic house design of the place down to the workers and it being just a few steps away from the beach couldn't ask for more will definitely be going back also roberto was an amazing host took care of me and my family anything we needed he was there and always on call great hospitality..thank you roberto.
Rene and the staff are wonderful hosts!! The room was perfect. AC worked flawlessly! Bed was comfortable and clean. Bathroom was spacious and everything in it worked really well even with hot water too. Breakfast was also delicious!! Just a few minutes from beach area, at walking distance from different restaurants.
Beautiful location and hotel, exceptional nice reception and staff. We got an update to ocean front view and were steps away from the great beach with comfortable sunbeds and parasols. The breakfast is generous and delicious, the food of the restaurant is as well very good and the service just what you wish.
I love how peaceful this place is. I stayed here with my partner and mother in law and we had the absolute best time. The beach is amazing. The staff is friendly and extremely pleasant. The AC works wonderful. I recommend eating at this hotel vs the beach. I’ll definitely be coming back
This is our second time coming here and the place is paradise! The staff is amazing the pool is wonderful and the beach is absolutely beautiful! Our family of 6 had an amazing stay and we did not want to leave! Make sure to try their mojitos they are delicious!
Located a few hundred meters away from the main road, it's a perfectly new and very quiet hotel (or small rooms) just a few minutes away from Punta Rucia.
Super friendly staff and 3 good breakfast options (local/international/etc.)
The room was super clean. Loved the outside bathrooms.. beach is right across. Towels and sheets smelled good. There is a TV either cable .. pica pollos right across the street and street foods. Property owner were very sweet
Great location. Beach area was private and clean. Very spacious with nice bar. The bell boy from the first night and staff of the Cayo Arena cruise were exceptional and went above and beyond.
very pretty hotel... the beach is truly amazing.. the pool and food were excellent. Big shout out to John.. John is a new employee there and went above and beyond tending to us.
