Very unpleasant stay at this hotel. The staff were not professional, and the amenities are poor.

I arrived in the evening after a long day. Check in was exceptionally and unnecessarily slow. I was the only person checking in. I get into the room, and it’s not what I booked. The towel on the bed was dirty. When I asked to change it, they told me they have no more fresh towels. I needed to wait 15 minutes to get fresh towels. That’s not to mention the rude attitude.

The booking was supposed to be for a studio. I got a small room with some dishes and silverware.

The hot water worked one day and didn’t work the next. The door handle was almost broken, I had to lock my room with the locker. Upon checkout, there was no one there to take the keys.

Not staying here again.

On the Orbitz website where I reserved this hotel it says free shattel
A day before I sent them a message that I am arriving at 5:00 pm please send me the name of the vehicle to ride
No answer
I arrived went out started asking people about this hotel
Then I called the hotel to keep me waiting 30 minutes then he call back and asked me to take a taxi, which costs me $40.
When I left the hotel I asked them to arrange my trip to the airport , they brought a private car and forced me to pay $30 .
I am not the only one , at the same hotel I met other 2 families from Texas who were unhappy about that treatment
I recommend to remove this hotel from your website,
If you keep it then I advise every turist not to go to this hotel , not clean , too old, not a convenient location

The room is what you would expect for a cheaper stay. I wouldn’t say you should expect an American style hotel for this price. You should bring your own shampoo, soap and hairdryer.

Was told by an individual in the lobby that I had to leave the room key whenever I left the property. Without knowing who he was I said \"you're funny.\" He followed me outside yelling rudely and loudly that I will leave the keys, I said no I'm not. He then said that he was the owner and that I will leave the keys. I said that I didnt care who he was and that I'm not leaving the keys. After some back and forth he said that if I lose the keys I would have to pay $30. I found out later that he was a manager. There is no written policy nor was I verbally informed when checking in that the keys had to be left whenever exiting the property. The room keys are kept hanging on the wall behind the front desk. Most times when walking past the front desk there's no employees in the area, the keys are left unprotected. Anyone can walk in from the street take a key or two or more and enter rooms.

The room had two safes on the floor in the closet, one bolted down and the other not. There was no access to the one that was bolted, but the other was accessible only by key. The key to the safe is on the ring with the key to the room. With access to the room, there is access to the safe or one could just take the safe with them

Other than the manager the staff was friendly and professional.

The price was fine so you probably what you pay for. Stayed for 5 nights when I checked in there was no towels in the room, I asked for some the day after check in and got them no problem. Also asked for the key for the safe to keep my passport in and was told it was not possible. The window to the balcony never locked properly so was a bit concerned there was no access to a safe. I felt I had to walk round with my backpack because of this and that was a bit of a pain.

The property is close to the beach and there was a few places nearby to eat. The staff are friendly enough. It’s fine for a couple of nights stay.

If I was gonna come back to punta cana I would push the boat out and go to a resort.

I had a great stay at Art Villa Hostel! The air conditioning was fantastic compared to other places in the island, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. Make sure to bring your own amenities like shampoo and shower gel, as they don’t provide those. Pillows not very comfortable but they changed them for us.

The breakfast included was a nice local dish, and they even prepared coffee for us ahead of opening on the day of our excursion.

Additionally, booking trips through the hostel was cheaper than other places. Kudos to Daniel, the owner, for his humor and hospitality and for his team —it truly made our stay memorable.

Highly recommend with a great price and value!

Let me start by saying that check in is available 24/7 and both the day manager and the night manager were extremely helpful and went above and beyond. Although the building is not new it’s well appointed, and has a nice feel. Conveniently located a couple blocks from the beach and can be walked in a few minutes, there are places to eat nearby as well as stores to shop within a few minutes walk. Several Dominican food restaurants nearby also got those courageous enough to try out the local food, which I highly recommend. The free breakfast option is worth the price and their coffee is good.

The location was excellent; just a couple of hundred yards away from the busy square with loud music and bars but set in a quiet residential area and only 5 minutes walk to the beach. Good house-keeping with rooms being cleaned every other day and towels and bed sheets changed too.
However, if you are looking for genuine self-catering, this is not the place for you. We had to ask for equipment and were given one single hot ring/ hob and a microwave; there were very few if any essential kitchen utensils so we ate out a lot more than we had planned. I would stay again for a couple of nights as it is good value for money but not longer-term if this was to be your main holiday accommodation.

Art Villa is in a great location. The place is very comfy and safe. The location is near the street where traffic is non stop all day and night. However, the hospitality is wonderful. The night gentleman is very nice as well the morning workers. Breakfast is simple but for me very elegant and the presentation is lovely. The AC,WiFi, Water was perfect. One evening the hotel lost water pressure and they responded immediately to the concerns but actually it was no fault of the hotels and rather a city situation. The rooms are cozy and it was a great fit for me and my fiancé who actually leaves in DR and travels from his city to work in Punta Cana. I think what can make this hotel stand out even more would be to add BLACK OUT CURTAINS, RESORT STYLE TOWELS AND HOTEL BEDDING SUCH AS DOWN COMFORT LIGHT AND BETTER PILLOWS. My favorite breakfast was the strawberry yogurt, tuna sandwich (delicious), coffee is amazing! Breakfast comes with your stay. I stayed 5 nights from July 26-July 31, 2022 and look forward to staying aging next month.

I am a Dominican living abroad and went to visit Bavaro last holidays. I found that Art Villa is a charming little hotel were the adventurous traveler can make a pleasant stop. The staff and their breakfast (and other delicious meals) are the most charming part of the experience, but also the spacious rooms and the fresh terrasse with excellent wifi. Plus, it is close to the beach and right in between of the precious Corales and the vibrant Cortecito, with the transportation line passing steps away from the door. Though the hotel isn't new, it's well maintained by a dedicated staff, who has to fight Bavaro's salty water's effect on appliances and surfaces. I really recommend it for a modest and peaceful stay without hesitation, and will be returning to visit myself. Say hi to Joel, the dog outside the door.

Excellent staff, but the room and facilities needs some TLC. All the faucets were rusty, and the room was not clean. The AC wall unit was not enough to keep the whole room cool, it barely covers just the bedroom. There was a sign at the door that ask to turn the AC off when you leave the room. The breakfast is whatever they choose to serve you, you are not given options or menu; and some of the dishes were not clean. If you ask me if I will stay again, probably not.

Must Stay

It was newly made compared to properties we stayed in this area. It’s nice and peaceful. Close to restaurants, grocery stores and beach. Reception greets with great spirit and smile for everyone. This is first place where I didn’t get language barrier. I stayed for 6 nights. Breakfast is basic continental. Even after lockdown you can check with reception late night if they can get groceries or liquor free of cost. Pay by Dop or card machine. It was very easy stay otherwise. Can’t complaint much of cleanliness, sand is everywhere even on our bodies.
