Great tropical location, freindly multi lingual staff, large rooms with AC, walking distance to many good restaurants and bars - should you not want to eat at the good hotel restaurant........ Some mornings there was no hot water in the shower but that's part of the Carribean! Rates are seasonal and quite resonable. I am looking forward to returning here.....soon!

I have never written a review for a hotel, and airline, or a restaurant. however, I felt compelled to write something after spending five nights at this little hideaway, because it made my dominican christmas vacation. if you can get around the mosquitos and some inconsistency in the water flow... there is nothing i can say bad about this place. The service, the food, and the ambience made this a place that i would return to again, and again after that. You are near everything from additional sweet restaurants (other than the one on the grounds of the hotel), great beaches, clubs, and a little town. The only reason why i didn't want to write this was because i don't want too many more people to know of it's existence!

We spent a month in dominican republic with our 6 months old baby.
our week at the tropic banana was like being right in a small tahitian hotel. the gardens, the pool. Small and intimate,seconds to the beach. this is a memorable time for us and we plan on going back

OK, this was our little splurge as we were budget travelers. French and English spoken here which was helpful. We had a great room walkable to the beach(30 seconds), great restaurants on the beach(1 minute), downtown (5 minutes). the Bfast was good and the room was clean too. Only drawback was a problem getting water for a whole day of our trip. But come on, no need to fret on vacation, we jst stayed longer in the crystal clear water longer. This was a beautiful place and half of our pictures came from las terranes. Worth the look. See my review on Joker hotel and Residencia Dominica in Caberete, and Joker Hotel in Boca Chica. Chris
