Hostal Johnnier Macao
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

The owner is very helpful and giving many advices to make our stay as good as possible.We arrived very late in the evening and he took us to the restaurant "Capitan Sully" located right beside the hostel and the owner made us club sandwiches even though kitchen was already closed. We had no money at arrival and the owner said it is not a problem to pay later.The hostel is basic but very clean, we did not even have problems with bugs or mosquitos.The area was very quiet, and we felt completely safe here. Owners also living in the object and there were cameras in all public areas for safety.If you travel by car, you can park right outside on the street which is safe and (dead-end street).The room was small, linen was clean and soft, bed comfy and there was some small place to hang clothes but no wardrobe. A/C fully working and not noisy.Bathroom with clean towels and soap available.Breakfast was served outside in the sitting area from 7 to 10, we got a bowl of fruit, omelet and bread, butter, coffee, and juice. Also, cold drinkable water was available in the fridge whole day.Payment in cash in Dominican Pesos or USD.

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!

Everything. it’s a amazing place with amazing people. I had a great time and definitely I am going back. Also the pics and all the info about the place is accurate.

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.

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.

A home away from home. Simple, very clean rooms. Don Jorge and Angelica are the best! Breakfast was joyful each morning and delicious.We had recommendations for booking a car and other activities. The area is great if you want to chill, walk to the beach and just be in a quiet spot. It just has a good, home vibe that you appreciate when traveling.

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.

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

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!?

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.
