I was blown away by the food! I looked him up and saw he is a celebrity Chef from Canada and had a great reputation. He is famous for his African Peanut Soup apparently, and WOW! You must try it! Everything was incredible. One of my favourite dishes was the Scallops and Prawns with Roasted Apples and Parmesan Risotto. I will include a pic. Presentation was . I met the Chef and he was super friendly as well. I would go back here just for the food. Beautiful view and delicious food = the best vaca!! read less

My expectations were high after reading glowing reviews, I must say Chef Bongo did not disappoint! Honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had! I tried famous African peanut soup and it was sooo delicious, the lobster bisque had actual lobster prices in it! The menu selection was large but not overwhelming, everything sounded so good it was hard to chose. My only regret is going at the end of my trip I honestly would have eaten there every night! read less

Villa Taina is centrally located in Cabarete Bay which is essentially a surf strip of beach front hotels/condo's, restaurants and surf schools. VT offers free bicycles rentals and a couple of workout machines, if you're looking for dry sports. Also be sure to inquire about local excursions to 27 waterfalls of Rio Damajagua; as well as a private driver to take you to some local points of interest such as Puerto Plata cable car (funicular), Casa de Oro chocolate factory, and San Felipe Fort. We used Jojim Tours, sent by the hotel to pick us up at the airport. It is an outstanding small family operation. Bring a sarong or wrap as the evenings can get cool. More read less

It was reasonably priced and the room was more spacious than we expected, comfortable, and clean. The restaurant was good, with a lovely breakfast (albeit pricey at $10 pp). Hotel’s location is fantastic - right in the town center next to all the shops and restaurants. Parking is very tight so you wouldn’t be able to park right there, but we didn’t rent a car so no problem for us. If you are a kite surfer, you can rent right in front of the hotel and take off from there. For everyone else, the hotel’s location on the beach is good, just at the border where the kites are not permitted so you can swim, and I enjoyed sitting there on a beach chair and watching the kites. If you have a child this is a nice spot because Front Loop next door is a place where kids congregate - my 9 year old son found lots of children to play soccer with on the beach in front of the hotel. The gym has no air conditioning and is small, but there are daily fitness and yoga classes at the hotel. read less

The complimentary breakfast buffet is great with a variety of foods, other meals were some of the best I've ever tasted! The hotel is clean and comfortable and the staff were kind, pleasant and patient with this non-spanish speaking traveler. Overall, an excellent experience! read less
