Hostal Johnnier Macao
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

The owner is simply the sweetest and greastest person. He‘ll try his best to make you feel home. We had a great time with all from the hostel on New Years Eve. Also they have some cute dogs there.

George was so helpful and kind. he has a very gentle nature and was willing to help even to lend money because the atm was not working.

George, the host, is absolutely great, he cant speak english, but with Google translator everything works fine, he gives usefull tips and take care of your needs, he organises transfers and other stuff for you, if you want to. Coffee in the morning is nice, George prepares fresh breakfast with fruits. wifi is really good.

Very nice and stylish place with an option to make tea or cook something in the common area. The host is very kind, friendly, helpful and the breakfast he made was very good. The place has a good mood and atmosphere. Thank you so much!We also enjoyed the nearby restaurant. The beach is in a walk distance and it's beautiful!

Everything!!! Incredible place, incredible people!Amazing breakfast! ❤️

friendly, clean and good value with a nice beach down the road and away from the hoi paloi of punta cana - what more do you need!?

George and the staff felt like a family! We felt at home right away, and George told us how to get around, what to expect, where to eat, etc. When we asked about sim cards, he offered to drive us and get them right away, which he did. Extremely helpful, since we had just arrived in the country and hadn't gotten our bearings just yet. Every morning we got breakfast in the outdoor kitchen and dining area. The coffee was excellent, and the food was amazing; everything cooked right there by a very friendly woman. We got different tropical fruits like papaya, banana, melon, then followed up by scrambled eggs, toast, milk and juices. Perfect! One morning they made some Colombian breakfast cakes too, made of corn, cheese, and something delicious, fried in a pan. Kept us going the whole day:) They had some clothes lines out back where you could hang your clothes or towels from the beach. It is humid in this country, so eventually you will need to hang dry everything in the sun. Three beautiful and friendly dogs lay around in the shade all day, and greet you with wagging tails every time you pass them:)Also; The restaurant next door was super nice, with the friendliest staff. The grilled chicken is super good, and you can ask them for any additional spices or sides like you want it. Good rum, cold beer, great people. Everyone from the neighborhood gathered there on the evenings, and had food, drinks and a good time.These two places located on the same street made our stay in Macao perfect. The overall warm feeling of this place is amazing. 10 minute walk to the beach, where you can rent surfboards, or just lay in the natural shade of the mangroves and palm trees. Small shops for basic groceries or a bottle of rum and a beer. ATM just down the street. Perfect base for a couple of nights if what you need is peace, quiet, beach, and good food and people.The rooms are simple, but have good AC, which is very welcome in the humid and warm climate.

Fantastic place to stay. Jorge, your host, is a great guy and is always available to assist you with all your needs. Good breakfast, comfortable bed, quiet AC, good WIFI and many channels on TV if you just want to watch a movie late on in the evening. Restaurant less than 100metres with excellent food reasonably priced. Macao beach just a 10 minute walk and very safe. Restaurant at far end of beach also has excellent seafood dishes. Thank you Jorge.

Absolutely amazing experience. Jorge went over expectations that we have pleasent stay. Area also really cozy and local. Our luggage were lost during flight. This place made our 3 stay amazing still. Can't recommend enough. Town it self is quiet but really friendly and safe. Dogs at venue are amazing as well.

I felt like being part of a family and got immersed in a truly Dominican experience. The hosts were just incredible! The place is basic, but kept extremely clean. Bed was very comfortable, breakfast simply delicious! The beach is 10 mins away and is stunning. Away from mass tourism, I would highly recommend staying at the hostel. It is also suitable for remote workers!
