Wasn’t as good as I’d hoped. But before the negative, the positive: it’s an absolutely GORGEOUS hotel half an hour from the airport! You get the beach, the views and a natural oasis in the middle of the city. The grounds are truly beautiful! It’s definitely magical place that has worked to preserve nature.

The negative: Requested a non-smoking room, but managed to get a smoke filled room. Booked the standard junior suite with tub and called out the request for a tub - no tub. I feel like there was a lot more to take advantage of, but didn’t have any kind of intro. The room not being what I requested would have been fine, just would appreciate the mention as check in.

I had the most amazing time at Casa Hemingway. This was exactly what I had envisioned. I traveled with my son on our first solo trip ever. As a solo parent, this means everything. I felt safe walking throughout the property. The staff ensured that when I was walking at night the next staff member was ready to receive me to get to my destination. Thank you! We were able to disconnect from our daily lives and felt safe doing so.

We arrived here on a Tuesday and were worried to find out that 2 of their restaurants only open Friday-Sunday. It was very quiet and not many people. However, this place really worked its charm on us and by the time we left we were already planning our next visit back. There’s a real authenticity about this place. It’s located in a residential complex with exceptional pools that are never crowded. The food and cocktails are made to a high standard. The beach is relaxing and clean. It’s just so peaceful here. We didnt want a fake sterile experience with lots of tourists like you might find at other resorts. This is truly a hidden gem. Highly recommend

Beautiful hotel complex. The pictures don't do it justice in terms of how spacious and well designed/ kept the property is. The beach is a fairly decent walk from the hotel- about 10minutes. It's a nice walk but something to know if you think it's going to be on your doorstep. Lots of beautiful restaurants. Pools were great, esp with young kids as there were shallow areas in all 3 of the pools. Lovely breakfast. The chief concierge was really helpful and accommodating with our requests, eg for late check out. The beach is lovely- clean and relaxed. Lovely palm trees, lots of loungers and space to sit. The horse riding complex was an extra bonus- we took our 3yr old for a ride which he loved. Watch out for the new suites if you're getting an apartment- they don't have a kitchen in them (despite being very large and decked out in high end decor and fittings). They are really nicely done but missing a few helpful amenities (e.g. washer/dryer, sink in the dining area where you'd expect the kitchenette to be). The older apartment suites have much better amenities although are a bit less fancy and newly decorated.

The first room we were in was not great. We asked to be switched. We had a view of a wall on ground level, the bathroom sink wasn’t draining and at 9:30 am there was very loud drilling in the room next door and because we were directly behind the check in desk, there was a lot of lobby noise. The 2nd room on a higher floor was fantastic. The restaurant service however was pretty poor. We waited so long to be tended to almost every time even when there were very few others dining and food was very slow to come out. The food was only mediocre. The facilities and property were beautiful and felt very safe, however we found restaurants closed at strange times and there was no overall guide explaining the hours of each. Generally we spent more time walking around confused than enjoying our meals.

Hotel Hemingway was a beautiful place, short walk across the street to their sister property Club Hemingway with access to the beach and short walk to an excellent Argentinian restaurant called Paladart. Service was excellent from the gentleman at front desk (sorry I forgot his name).

The perfect peaceful, idyllic beach holiday

An amazing place, idyllic beach with plenty of pools and a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. The room (more like an apartment) was great, very clean and lovely cleaning staff who put extra effort in.
The restaurants are quite expensive and probably not worth the price, but there are enough other options within a 5 minute walk, so this isn’t a problem.
The hotel grounds and beach are beautiful. We spent most days just going between the beach, sea and pool and still miss it weeks after leaving. Wish we were back there.
The extra activities like horse riding and sports facilities weren’t explained to us, but maybe they’d be available if you ask about them.
Plus there are some lovely cats and kittens wandering about who are very affectionate if you’re kind to them!

The patio furniture on the balcony might need a little bit more attention from the cleaning staff and providing a few more towels to the room. Everything else was absolutely spectacular. The king size bed was so comfortable including the bedding and pillows. I would definitely recommend this place. A few more vegetarian options would be great for breakfast but overall it was absolutely delicious. The cleaning stuff was very friendly.

Breakfast could use improvement too.

Casa Hemingway

We spent two nights at Casa Hemingway. On arrival, our prearranged and honestly quite expensive transportation was not at the airport. I called the hotel and after waiting for the desk clerk to research, she informed me that our ride would be there is 30 minutes. 40 minutes later our ride arrived. He was very kind and we arrived safely. On checking in, we were given pointing directions where restaurants were. I later went out and asked for a map which I was then given. We also had to request bedding for our third guest. We did have a couple frustrations:
1. There were only two bottles of water for three people in the fridge and when we asked for more, we were charged for this.
2. We had family staying down the road so would have loved to share a meal or swim with them and were told that would cost $50 each. This was really disappointing as we were graciously welcomed into their facility.
3. We were charged for breakfast when I distinctly recall checking the box on payment from Hotels.com for breakfast. This was embarrassing as we were walking out and chased down by the waiter when we thought it was included.

Overall, I would say the stay was adequate and a unique experience. For the price, I would likely stay somewhere else or rent a condo on return as we truly lived the area and the people. The food, beach and pools were excellent! The restaurant we went to had excellent food and very friendly and attentive staff despite being very busy!

Loved the colonial architecture, it reminds me of my childhood. Very safe, clean and beautiful property. Staff provided professional, friendly and helpful service. Elias was at the reception desk to help me check in and he is very knowledgeable and professional, I shared with him a bad experience I had in Punta Cana and he was very understanding about it and explained how safe the property was and how professional was the staff and he was not wrong. I walked to El Embarcadero Restaurante around 9PM and then back to the beach around 11PM, I also went to a local Bar past midnight by myself and I felt so safe. El Embarcadero was just amazing and unique, Jeffery was very knowledgeable about the dishes and drinks, friendly and respectful; the food was so fresh, flavorful and the atmosphere so relaxing that I got to enjoyed myself to the point I didn’t want the moment to end.
Next morning the sunrise was absolutely glorious and perfect, then I enjoyed breakfast at La Trattoria, the constituency and quality of the food and staff amazed me, as a chef myself this tells me of the strong team behind stage. Then probably my most favorite thing: the beach. It was just WOW clean and beautiful turquoise water, again food and service, this time at El Chiringuito, the red sangria was definitely my favorite cocktail.

One thing I did not appreciate was the ridiculous price of my ride to the airport, $70 dollars. I won’t use the facility transportation.

May main focus was finding a clean/safe beach after Karol G concert and I hit the jackpot. Although it is a bit retired from the resort the beach it's beautiful, clean and safe.
