Hostal Johnnier Macao
Πούντα Κάνα, Δομινικανή Δημοκρατία

The hosts are REALLY kind, the place is clean and comfortable and the location is very good. Truly recommend the place. Breakfast was amazing.

Jorge was an amazing host. He made sure to help with everything. Thank you Jorge I would love to come back :)

Amazing value. For a very cheap price we got a nice room, AC, private bathroom, kitchen, drinking water and a super great breakfast with juices and coffee etc. The hosts went out of their way to make sure we had a nice stay. Easily best place we’ve stayed in our (so far) two month backpacking trip in the Caribbean. ~8 minute walk to the famous Macao beach. 30 second walk to a very nice and cheap restaurant.

Everything is clean, the wi-fi is good, all your needs are covered and Jorge is an amazing host. He cares about everything and everyone.

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!

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.

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!

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!

I made a mistake I think by asking to switch rooms. Tilson kindly agreed to my request to find a room with a view (where after checking later booking.com clearly showed the room I'd chosen and paid for didn't have one). However the new room had a lot of problems that I won't go into here. I felt I'd already put him to enough trouble with the new room so didn't push the idea of moving back to the original room. In hindsight though it was a big mistake to switch. Lesson learned! The best aspect of this property is kind Mr. Tilson and his charming family. The coffee also was first rate!
