hope this helps

Hideaway Beach is next to Encuentro Beach, which has had some land controversies over the past year or two, at least. Last year's land problems made Hideaway Beach residents next door to some gun fights. It seems that things have cooled down substantially since then.

Why do you say the beach isn't great? It is next to some of the most beautiful, isolated beaches I have ever seen. When I need to clear my head, that is where I walk.

There is someone developing a housing community within Hideaway Beach. Houses look beautiful. I live in Perla Marina. Sometimes I hear gunshots at night in a distance. When I ask about it, I am told it is Hideaway Beach. I have no idea about the truthfulness in this. Just what I heard. If I were a potential buyer, I certainly would ask questions about this.

Hideaway Beach is surrounded by fincas. Thus, intruders can easily hide out, then enter at night.

I was never aware that the condos were beautiful. I would be interested in learning more......Please tell.

Two months ago. Views just OK. Service great to the point of "leave me alone". Price being very high for overall experience. Not going back and will not miss it. Party of 8 was NOT impressed.

I am an owner at Hideaway and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the D.R. Great location. I sent you a PM.

I used to own a company that regularly offered three of the villas in Hideaway Beach as vacation rentals. We developed a lot of experience in Hideaway Beach by renting those properties to a wide array of vacation types. In a nutshell, I would say that Hideaway Beach is a well-run community, is reasonably safe and has one of the most beautiful untouched beaches I've seen on the north coast. The community management seems a tad draconian to me but likely that could be I would have been seen as the 'competition' at that point. That said, it's a place I wouldn't hesitate to rent / live except it's too close to Cabarete for me.

What's your point? Owner/investor?

We have supplied both Ringo and Castellamonte with piggies...

food variable - not good in large groups as they havent learnt the art of plate warming, its a good place two eat in smaller groups or as a couple, prices seemed a fraction higher, but they have special nights a few days a week

hideway is sure one of the nicesest gated community, it is in a very calm area, next to the surfing beach el encuentro, it is not a very good and safe place for swimming, but it does offer the possibility of mile long walks on the beach, without seeing many people around, the apartment buildings are old, and probaly do need some updated to bring them up to new shine, some of the units have alreayd been upgraded.

I am an owner at Hideaway Beach. It is a great neighborhood community with condos and homes. The restaurant: Chez Arsenio is wonderful. The food is always delicious, great drinks and wine list, and the service is excellent. Dining with a small or large group, we are never rushed and the dining expereince is always superb, relaxing, and fun! Every year we vacation with 4 couples and have a great time at Hideaway. The condos are beautiful, many units have been updated. The grounds are kept imaculate. We always feel safe, the staff is friendly and welcoming. The pool is directly by the condos for ease and relaxing. The beach is perfect for long walks. Come to Hideaway to vacation or come for an evening to enjoy the Chez Arsenio's dining experience.

Hideaway is one of the most beautiful places ive stayed in, it is just breath taking, the maintenance of the property is excellent, service is great! of course, someone might have a bad experience( like a prior poster), but you could have that anywhere, look at the big picture and see for yourself.
Im not a big lover of puerto plata, but this place takes it all for me.
ive had some great memories there, that could make me biased, but just look for yourself, and compare.
As soon as my residency is over, im buying there!
