Casa Benita or Coral Sol?

[Richard Alberto]

Hotel Maria Montez is not much different than Gran Hotel Barahona which you mentioned. I only added Maria Montez because it has a full restaurant and a family traveling on a budget can save some money. Dona Gladys, the owner, will try to accommodate a family in a room if she has to.

Other than that, your reviews are very good. Do you have a website? I have one, castillosdelcaribe.com which is dedicated to Barahona.

Great info but why only the Villas del Mar in Pedernales? Yes, they do have a pool and the rooms are clean but when I was there, there was no food at all. They had contracted with some locals to do catering but I made the mistake of inviting friends over for dinner and was served the absolutely worst fish dinner I ever had in my four years here. It was embarrassing, really. That was two years ago - maybe things are better now? Otherwise, it is a long walk for the morning cup of coffee.

So, since I enjoy swimming in the ocean, I usually stay either at Dona Chava or D'Oleo Mendez. D'Oleo Mendez has one of the best restaurants in town.

Be aware that Pedernales only has about 50 hotel rooms available and they are usually booked solid every weekend so be sure to call in advance.
