The space Step through the garden and you're already on your own stretch of Caribbean beach — completely private, no crowds, no noise. While the public beaches of Juan Dolio fill up with visitors, our guests have exclusive access to one of the finest swimming spots on this coastline: calm turquoise water, pristine sand, and some of the best snorkeling reefs in the region right in front of you. Papito is here every day. He'll bring you fresh coconuts from the garden, set up a bonfire on the sand at sunset, and make sure everything runs perfectly. When you're ready for a proper Dominican feast, La Bella's home-cooked lunches by the pool are the kind of meals guests write reviews about.
