Hotel Caserma La Romana-Bayahibe

We were pleasantly surprised by this property. It's a very different kind of place and it was beautiful, nice and peaceful. Wifi could be spotty, but it's like that all over D.R. We never lost power. It is very rural, away from everything, except the highway. Don't worry, there is no highway noise. It's very quiet and secluded. It is close to the airport, but again, it's not noisy. You will need transportation/rental car at this location. You can rent a car at this location, not sure of the prices. They could have given you more towels. They only gave you two bath towels and one hand towel. A refrigerator was in the room along with a tv, but there were limited channels. It is in a very tropical area. There is a small, but refreshing pool. It is very safe, there is a huge wall built all around the property, like a fort. This is a very affordable hotel and a great Dominican breakfast was served every morning. Breakfast included fried eggs, mangou, bacon, fried cheese, ham & cheese sandwich and of course cafe con leche. There are many resident dogs and cats that are very friendly that roam around the grounds of the property. And too many cats get into the dining area. Now, I am an animal lover so I don't mind this, but if you have a problem with this - beware. Staying at this location with our rental car out of Santo Domingo enabled us to take day trips to Punta Cana (Bavaro Beach)/Higuey (Altagracia Cathedral) and to Bayahibe (Domenicus Beach). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We met the owner and all the staff was cordial and helpful.
