I'm not sure about the area. It seemed safe enough. It's right across the street from the beach. And there are restaurants within walking distance, although the one I ate at was a little overpriced. The unit was a 1 bedroom. It was cute. The hot water didn't get warm, so I took a cold shower. I hate cold showers but it did make the heat and humidity a little better. The towels were old and stained and didn't match, which was fine by me, but it seem a little bit ghetto. The bed was old, but not bad. The sheets seemed new, however were very slippery and had come off in the night while I was sleeping. I do toss and turn a lot tho. The AC was good if you close the bedroom door. The curtains were see through, which was weird because the neighbors were trying to peek inside when I first arrived. It was a bit noisy and I often woke up thinking someone was in my room. But overall, not too bad for the very reasonable price. I would probably not stay for more than 1 or 2 nights tho.
I stay here frequently when I come to Dominican to see my other half. I normally ask ahead of time for things like extra pillows or a wine opener, etc., and they always accommodate me, which is lovely. Great communication. The staff are very nice.
Air conditioners in the bedrooms as well as fans on the ceiling to help. Keep it cool.
The pool downstairs is small, but definitely there to cool you off my only suggestion would be some umbrellas, cause it gets pretty scorching hot back there
