Sava Salinas - Bani

Great place to stay if you plan to go to the dunes with some drawbacks. It is located directly on the street and is a great place to stay when you enjoy running. I ran west in the morning to see the salt mines. There are very few cars in this way especially in the morning and I got a great view of the sunrise from the end of the bay. The rooms in which we stayed at this place are nicely air-conditioned and sit next to the bay overlooking the north. The bay is usually quiet and makes you feel you live near a lake. The place feels very community-oriented with the pool and restaurant right in the same area as all rooms. There are not many rooms so this place never felt crowded or invasive and felt very safe and family oriented. Breakfast was satisfactory and the service was hospitable. We were here twice. At the first stay our room was great. Our second room had a large balcony that led to a great view of the bay with an empty jacuzzi. The kitchen was very hot and full while the bathroom was terrible. The shower had wires near the head where my wife shared how she was shocked when she tried to fix it. The shower also had a crack in the floor, which made our bathroom floor continuously wet. The water was also cold both times we stayed and should be superior when you stay here. We didn't want to know the water was cold.

Lovely place. Excellent rooms. Not much catering from staff. We sat outside to play cards and no one ever approached us to see if we wanted a drink or anything else. Pretty much you are on your own. Most of the food on the menu was not available. We were told it was Thursday and they buy groceries on Mondays! If they work on the food service and attentiveness to guest it would be a 4 star hotel.

One of the worse places i ever stayed at i would not recommend it at all. I was so disappointed in the owner that never even said really a word to me. This is a poor environment and should be closed down. Even the pool was always dirty. The so call jacuzzi took almost 2 hours to fill. People please do not stay here you will regret it.

5 star prices for 1 star experience. Ants in bed, dirty waterfront, unmaintained pool, unhelpful staff, awkward parking, bad views over parking lots, cheap construction (not deluxe as stated) really for this price anything is better. Worst stay we had in DR. Feels like a sham.

Well, I couldn 't be more disappointed! The place looks like a construction site, the service is really pathetic, the breakfast is the poorest I had in this country, the food is too expensive for what it is, the parking for your car is too dangerous for the car, the pool is dirty, the beach is dirty and unswimmable, the room we got is super cheaply built with no privacy and with the view of a parked truck (the jaccuzi is unusable because of that), I had small ants climbing on top of me in the bed! the internet cuts for a long time (but they explain it 's not the hotel 's fault, it 's from the provider), the normal morning scene is of a woman doing the hotel laundry in the garage... basically you get nothing of what this place is published to be. I think they 're trying to be something they very clearly are not, at least yet. Not worth the trip here or the money paid.
