GAVA is the best hostel I've ever been! Great staff, they are always happy to help, the hostel is very clean and safe. My vacation was great from the moment arriving at Punta Cana airport, because GAVA organized a transfer for me to the hostel, at the airport I was met by a personal driver with a sign with my name. When I arrived at the hostel, during check-in, I was able to buy an excursion to Samana to see whales, and the next day I went on an excursion in the morning, and spent my first day in the Dominican Republic unforgettably, I visited a private island, saw a waterfall in the jungle, and most importantly, I caught the whales. Thank you guys for recommending me to go on this excursion. I recommend GAVA to everyone, and I will definitely come back here again! Until next time!

The coziest place in punta cana
That's more a family house than a proper hostel because it's an apartment. However, it's the coziest place in Punta Cana! The owners are a young, lovely and friendly couple from Russia. Very nice people that made us feel at home. The room is small but with everything that you will need. There are 2 bunk beds, comfortable mattress with light white curtains in each bed and also private light and plug to charge your phone. Each person has a small locker but also a big wardrobe where can keep your luggage. There are also a big mirror in the room and 2 fans. The restroom is just next door with good size. They provide one tower for no extra cost. They also provided a hairdryer if needed. The kitchen is small but you can find everything you need to prepare your meals. The only thing that was missing was a filter, so was necessary to buy a bottle of water. The building is simple but in a great location, few blocks from the beach (kind of 5/10min walking). Its a safe neighbourhood. Many restaurants, grocery stores, and everything that you need. The excursions also pick you up like 5 min from there, so Gava hostel is in a perfect location. The beach in that area (Bavaro) is beautiful, with some tourists but not extremely crowded. Blue and clear water. Valentina and Andrew are amazing!! They were always very helpful with everything that we needed. They also sell tours and help us with all information about where to go. I feel I was lucky and gain new friends for life!
