The apartment is nice and spacious, has a well equipped kitchen with good set of pans, glassware and utensils. The internet connection was really stable and quite fast due to fiber optic connection to the ISP. It came as a bonus to us that we could make use of all facilities of the Whala! Resort (except for the food and drinks obviously); we enjoyed some of the shows and dancing events organized by the animation team. Various large swimming pools, mostly with salt water (big +++); but we preferred to go snorkeling in the crystal clear water of the Caribbean Sea, accessible via platform with stairs. The balcony provided a nice private outdoor space, with a glimpse of sea view and overlooking a nice wild/uncultivated piece of nature.

Puddles of water formed on the balcony after rain or from condensation of the AC, difficult to evacuate the water. When sitting outside we were easy pray for the numerous mosquitoes :-)

I liked everything

everything was good.... nothing negative

The place is very good and safe. Security guys are 24 hours a day in front of the main gate. Inside the areal are amazing swimmning pools with sea water, which is very clean and well maintained. There is as well Jaccuzi with sea water. Amazing views to the sea from the swimming pools, bar and restaurant on place. In the private area is located a shop with souvenirs, cosmetics and some other things you may need and in this shop is ATM for cash withdrawal, which works well and is safe to use. In the room was prepared big barell of water (as the tap water is not drinkable in Dominican Republic) and it was no problem to order another one when we consumed the water. This was very cheap and good drinking water, if you go to the shop for bottled water, it is very expensive. The public beach Dominicus is not far away, about 15 minutes walking. But don't forget to take some drinks and food to the beach, there is nothing to buy at the beach (only some souvenirs). Generally, this apartment was very fine, we enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious and in a good environment around with palms, trees. birds, cicadas, lizards (some of them were "visiting" our balcony as well :-) nice nature, But this place and way of accomodation is not suitable for everybody. If you like silence, clenliness, privacy (in front of the balcony is the path where sometimes other people walking aroud as it is the ground floor), it is not for you here. For us it was generally very good place and we liked it.

The room was really not clean and many things should be improved. The kitchen was great but all the dishes was very very dirty. There was cleaning sponge "10 years old" with lot of dirt and dust. Water tap is dirty and hard to control. We needed to wash and clean everything before use. In the bathroom was everywhere old dirt as well, unfortunatelly. The shower tub was not clean as well, with old dirt. The water tap in the bathroom had bad stream of water and only cold water. A toilet brush was missing. The owner of the apartment said, that he can manage to do everything if we would ask him, but, theese are all things that should be ready before we arrive and that we should not ask for, it should be "matter of course". We would ask him, if something gets broken during our stay, but why we should ask for toilet brush if it should be normally there? The same with washing the dishes, it should be washed and prepared well already, etc... The TV has only Youtube and Netflix connection which sometimes does not work. No local and satelite channels available, but it was not a big problem. Just to let to know to others. Other apartments were maintained and repaired during our stay, so in the morning in the neigbor apartment some workers were loudly beating and drilling into the walls!! Another day some workers were cutting some wooden boards in front of the other neighbour apartment. And another day some workers were painting the balcony beside even during the night! This everything should not happen when guests are in the apartments around OR somebody should come to us and ask, if it is OK for us when they will do some work during our stay. We are people who can do manual work at home and we are used to hear sounds of cutting, drilling, beating, and we understand that the work must be done once, but it shoud not happen in the hotel where guests are accomodated without letting them know in advance.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Thanks.

nice appartment good money value in the resort with the pools

Very confortable and clean!

Everything excelente…. Great bed and nice terrace!

- The apartment is really big and it was very clean! - Not a perfect view from the balcony, but the balcony is really big. I loved to sit and read my book. - The location of the apartment on Whala resort is nice. - You can use the garden an swimming pools at no extra charge. The pools are really nice! - If you want to get the All inclusive (free drinks and food from 9AM - 6PM) of Whala resort it would cost 40USD per person. It think it was worth to do this for one day. - Price is right! - They provided a towel to use at the swimming pool. I really loved it and was very convenient!

- Hosts do not speak English very well. They used WhatsApp/google translate to communicate. This was fine, but it would hold us back to ask more questions. So communication could be a little better. (Unfortunately my Spanish is not good enough to understand everything) - The mattress of the bed was not comfortable for us. It was moving and it had a pit in the middle. - Walk to Dominicus beach is 2.5 kilometer. About half an hour. I didn't mind, but could be too far for other people.
