Hostal Johnnier Macao
Πούντα Κάνα, Δομινικανή Δημοκρατία

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.

Amazing and very helpful hosts - don't worry if you don't know Spanish - Jorge will always find a way to explain you everything in details ;) They were also very flexible when it comes to check in time. Delicious breakfast, very clean rooms. The Macao beach is just 7 minutes walk from the hotel. If you want to have a rest from the crowd - Johnnier is highly recommended!

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.

Colors make it stand out, artwork is beautifulThe look of this place is a true representation of our Dominican culture

Angelica and Jorge were very helpful and I felt very welcoming with them. The breakfast is pretty good and the location is near the beach.

Jorje was very helpful and friendly. A great way to start our trip in the Dominican Republic. Beach was less than 10 minutes walking, good food around the corner.

Delicious breakfast included and really friendly and helpful staff. Hostel is really clean and cheery and close to a really good local restaurant, and a short walk to the beach. Jorge is so lovely. I wish I had stayed longer!
