Albachiara Beachfront Hotel & Residence

This was my fourth visit to Albachiara. October 19. Unfortunately it will be my final visit. We came here after a medical mission seeking a quiet getaway, which previously has been great here. Instead, there was a group of at least 20 youth blaring loud music all day by the pool, drinking and yelling and dancing provocatively Twice I went to the front desk. Nothing I even got to the point of asking my money back so we could leave. Refused. I won’t be back and would caution any American seeking a “tranquilo” experience to go elsewhere.

Our family spent a wonderful week here in July. I have only great things to say about this hotel. All staff were incredible. They are all very hardworking and very friendly and helpful at all times. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. A huge shout out to the women who cooked and served breakfast. Delicious eggs cooked to order, plentiful fresh fruits, breads and Dominican cakes. Always a pleasure going each day to breakfast. The grounds are impeccably clean and the groundskeeper keeps the plants looking beautiful. The pool is beautiful, large and has very clean water. I loved swimming there each day. The pool guys check the water regularly. I am picky about pools as I swim a lot and this pool did not disappoint. They also have a cool mini bar where you can get drinks and snacks by the pool! Great idea. The rooms are well appointed and very clean. The housekeeping staff take great care of the rooms and are super friendly. I would have appreciated a bigger moka coffee pot to make coffee in room for two people. The room only had a small pot but I managed. While we were there the maintenance staff were constantly fixing and painting so it really looks like people care a lot about this property. We felt very safe at the hotel and the security guards were hardworking and friendly. The 24/7 reception staff and busboys were responsive to every inquiry, and extremely helpful and very prompt in responding to all of my emails prior to my trip. We had a quick check in and check out. I can’t say enough about this hotel and it’s staff. It really was the hardworking staff that made it a great vacation for my family. Proximity to the beach is 5 star. Thank you Albachiara and all staff for making our stay very comfortable and relaxing.
