The most comfortable bed I have ever had in a hotel. The room was large and very nice, updated bathroom was a plus. Bar/restaurant and pool area was a nice touch to this property
The hotel is in a really lovely location overlooking the Caribbean. The most expensive rooms are superb - not sure about the others as I have not seen them.
The meals could be a bit better. The pizzas are very good, and some dishes were great, but we had a couple of disappointing meals.

Simple hotel, nothing fancy, but the room was awesome.
Very clean.
The only inconvenient was a lady smoking in the breakfast area restaurant. I spoke to the owner, but apparentely it was normal

Everything was ok for the price, staff is very kind and helpful. The only bad thing I have to say is that my AC was not working, it wasn’t very hot so I was able to sleep comfortably. Other than that, everything else was fine. Food was good and food prices were decent.
The receptionist and the manager simply don’t know how to be friendly and welcoming. And also I was overcharged -
They were very rude , and asked me if wanted my money back
I will NEVER NEVER stay at this hotel -

Unfortunately, I was not able to stay in the property due to misinformation in expedia website. It was my understanding that the charge was paid by credit card. When I arrived at the property, I was told to pay i Dominican pesos which I didn't have. The property has not ATM nor card reader. I had to turn back, 3 hrs. I was very disappointed.

One nigh at this place for dinner and sleep
We stayed at this hotel recently and had a mixed experience. At check-in there was a strange moment when the receptionist asked us to fill out a form with full credit card details, including the CVV and expiration date — something I’ve never been asked for before. I booked through Hotels.com and thought the room had already been paid, which made the request feel unnecessary and uncomfortable. In the end, they just charged the card directly and didn’t insist, but it left a weird first impression.
The property itself has a lot of potential — the location comes with beautiful ocean views, though unfortunately the seaweed (sargassum) problem below the cliffs created a strong smell during our stay. The room was okay, but little details were missing: one bed had a duvet cover, while the other didn’t, so one of us was cold at night.
On the positive side, the food at the hotel’s restaurant was delicious — probably the highlight of our stay — and the staff in the restaurant were very friendly. With some added charm, decoration, and attention to detail, this place could really become a tropical gem.
Hotel El Quimaito accepted my 3 day booking and then a few months later cancelled it.
I got an email out of the blue to say that since accepting my booking they had taken a block booking for a large group so they no longer had room for me and my family. They then refused to reply to any emails or answer the phone. Not even Expedia could get through to them
I had chosen this hotel for where it was as we travelled round the DR. The inconvenience and last minute hassle the Hotel caused me was substantial.
Expedia were great at helping to find me an alternative place (and arranging compensation) but I would not recommend placing a booking with this hotel from my experience with it. I would certainly recommend the Expedia service for resolving problems like this, though. I was so glad I had booked with Expedia, rather than going direct to the Hotel.
El loby no está adecuado para un hotel, en mi habitación el aire casi no funcionaba y la puerta para entrar a la habitación me daba mucho trabajo para abrir y para cerrar, pero si mi habitación estaba muy limpia y los empleados muy amables, el desayuno estuvo muy bueno
Excelente experiencia, el staff fue muy servicial desde la llegada, el restaurante tiene gran variedad y calidad, y el complejo tiene una vista espectacular!

Die Anlage ist veraltet. Das Essen eine Katastrophe
Me encantó! Nos quedamos para hacer turismo en la zona, nos incluyó desayuno lo que es un extra, la habitación muy limpia y un moderno mobiliario, cuenta con aire acondicionado y la cama era como dormir en una nube! Muy recomendado el hotel, personal muy amigable y servicial.
