Hostal Johnnier Macao
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Amazing host, great breakfast! 10 / 10Would recommend for everyone! A bit far away from big cities but thats not a big problem of you have an Uber or etc.

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 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.

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.

The owner was really nice and always there if we needed something :) the breakfast was delicious

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.

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.

Owner is so gentle, he was very kind, helpful, gave excellent service and directions of the surroundings at Macao. Place was really clean, and services were also good. Breakfast was prepared at the moment by the owner, really nice!

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!

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.
