Bed And Breakfast Cabin In Cool Junglee Retreat


Our cool and comfortable newly renovated cabin offers a peaceful and truly relaxing escape from 'all inclusive' type tourism. It comfortably fits three adults or a family. Enjoy the D. R. and its wonderful cultures in a way that you will fall in love with.

Breakfast
Is included for the first morning, and served on your cabin terrace between 9 to 10 AM. For any ther days the cost will be RD$1,000 pesos (approx. $17.00 USD) per person.

Space
A clean private cabin, to rent, set amongst the abundance of natural beauty of Jurassic Park. The bungalow comes with a fully equipped small kitchen, a queen bed, a bunk bed, a bathroom with shower, and a terrace with view of immediate garden.
Jurassic Park is a magical place situated on a small hill, in a tranquil valley, 3-5 mins outside of the main town Las Terrenas. A short stroll behind us there are two waterfalls with pools - which are extremely inviting, especially when its hot, great for cooling off and helping to make you feel at peace with the world. We have semi controlled jungle areas which we continue to improve and make part of the attraction of being here. There is very little light pollution (no upward facing lights) so you can view the night sky, from our open pool terrace, which are mostly spectacular all year round. If you are a star gazer, a writer or a poet you would feel very much at home here. We are moving towards self sufficiency and Eco tourism. We already have pure spring water and we have solar panels and soar water heaters. We will in the future add a variety of electric vehicles for guests. If you have children then this is a natural wonderland providing constant amazement. Indeed, visits from the local children, who are a breath of fresh air, will aid your children in understanding this environment. We also grow many fruits and vegetables and indeed as I write this the wife has popped out to our herb garden for some coriander. We hope to have created a much more personal and friendly feeling. We have a great track record of content, repeat visitors. It seems that a return visit is a must, once you have been bitten by the magic and unadulterated beauty of our little oasis. Also for a small additional fee we now offer breakfast (typically eggs, toast, seasonal fruits, juices, vegetable and cheese empanadas and coffee in our jungle communal area. Its a great chance to discuss your days activities and learn the best places to go. Just let us know before hand.
See you soon.

Guest access: Guests have partial access to Jurassic Park Retreat and all its amenities, firefly and star viewing areas, organic produce gardens, nature trails and running trails. Our grounds keepers are also available for advice or to take you on local excursions.

Other things to note:
Dinner is offered at an extra cost. This can be arranged with us ahead, once you have make your initial booking, or upon your arrival.

We enjoyed stepping into the jungle for a few days on our trip. The breakfast was excellent but we did not read the fine print that it is only on the first day. Dominic was kind enough to send us with some bananas on our drive. It was really fun and still close to everything if you have a car.

Jungle adventure.
The property is a work in progress and not for the faint of heart. But with a sense of adventure and the proper attitude it is well worth it. Dominic was a very responsive host and went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after. He even took time to wait for us and point out a side trail to downtown that we would surely have missed on our own. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and breakfast was beautiful and tasty.

Great hosts, clean, close enough to town but with a remote jungle feel, good chow and a super value.
Rustic simple accomodations in a lush setting. Our rate included a lovely breakfast brought to our little balcony each AM as Billy the goat would occasionally pass nearby. Internet was good, so was the bed. Some neighors liked their music too loud and too late on the weekend but we always travel with earplugs so no problem. An older review mentions the condition of the road not being suitable for four-wheel drive. That makes no sense to me, yes it's a secondary road but our front wheel car had no issues with it, even when wet; must have been a city folk. If I were to change anything about the accommodations I'd add more comfortable seating and better lighting because my wife and I both enjoy reading but in the bigger picture the value received for what we paid was well worth every peso.

It is either primitive living or glorified camping. Take your pick!
This is a lovely place for the right people, and the hosts are completely wonderful and accommodating! The best part of the trip was the company of all the animals -- dogs, baby sheep, and baby goat. I learned the difference between traveling and vacationing. This is a traveling opportunity to live within the community and meet the local people. I'm a vacationer who prefers a condo or hotel room to this adventurous bungalow. There are many positive qualities to this retreat if you enjoy a more primitive environment. This bungalow is private, and the staff is very polite and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure that we were as comfortable as possible. There was a chef on the premises, who made us a delightful 4 course meal. Breakfast was served promptly at 9:00, and the papaya is the best I've ever had! My discomfort was with the insects. It started the 2nd day when I cleaned the bathroom and found a 5cm (2 inch) tarantula behind the toilet. I do not like bugs, and the ones there are very large. My husband almost stepped on an 18cm (6 inch and 1/2 inch wide) centipede in the bathroom a couple nights later. Whenever I stepped on the floor or went into the bathroom, I was very aware of looking for insects before I put down my feet. This property was not what I wanted or expected, and that's why I did not have fun. However, for the right people, this place can be an amazing adventure!

Lots of fun!
We enjoyed our stay at Jurassic Park. Dominic was so helpful and the lovely Helena made us a delicious breakfast. The only scary part was the road leading to the bungalow- we seriously worried about damaging the rental car. Other than that, itā€™s an experience not to be forgotten.

Marcel and I spent 2 nights at Jurassic Park. We were very comfortable and happy there. Very clean. Helena and Dominic helped us connect with fantastic daily activities. They offer a delicious breakfast that was so much more than I expected. This is a place we will love to go back and stay for more days. Thank you for your hospitality!!.

Hidden Gem - Peaceful Oasis
Our stay at Helena and Dominic's Jurrassic park was a beautiful peaceful time. The huts are clean cozy and fun looking. The grounds are lush and well tended. The rabbits hoping around just add to the feel of Eden. The best part though was the thoughtful guidance of the hosts Helena and Dominic. They are happy enthusiastic knowledgable and helpful people who guided me through where I could go what I could do and who to get as a guide etc. One excursion I took with them made my whole trip- a hike through a farm, more like a food forest, eating and talking and learning with our wonderful guide Fausto. Frankly it was unforgettable. Playa Bonita is aptly named as well and Dominic's advice on that was spot on too. And Las Terrrenas is a bustling whirl and really fun. Jurrassic park as I have seen noted in other reviews is not for those who want the creature comforts of big screen TV s ac or a resort feel. It's getting away from all that. It also is not at all beachfront. But it's an exhilirating ride down there and frankly the beach is quite touristy and does not have the real feel of being up in the hills with the regular Dominicans. For authenticity, feeling like you get to see some real Dominican life, and cool, breezy, sunny, not at all buggy climes-(as explained to me by Dominic based on its altitude) Jurrassic park is a great bet!

Amazing
Great accommodations, great recommendations, wonderful town, friendly employees, cool travelers. Be sure to take a guided tour with Fausto, visit playa coson, and eat at Cavo del Drag. We recommend renting a moto also.

lots of potential but ultimately disappointing
Despite what seemed a very promising destination according to the announcement, unfortunately the actual offer was far from what I expected! It was publicized (with a map location) as an 8-10 minute walk from the beach but the actual address turned out to be a 1h 20 minute walk to the nearest beach! Even to do groceries, it was stated that there was no need for a car but in fact, it was isolated (i.e. 15-20 minute drive out of town on country roads & no other guests present!!) and required either expensive taxis or cheaper moto-taxis, which I was told were difficult to guarantee because of unreliable drivers! My initial exchanges with one of the hosts via VRBO were excellent, and I was told breakfast was included in the accommodation price. Upon arrival, I discovered that that person was in fact living overseas and on day 3, I was told by the host on-site that breakfast was only offered for the first 2 days. After a WhatsApp exchange with the host on-site re: the misleading information about the location (it even mentioned beach access and ocean views!!) & the total lack of autonomy, he proposed 3 other breakfasts over the course of the 15-day visit as compensation. He claimed that VRBO had made the mistake and that he was not responsible for the error in location. I chose to leave and rent elsewhere - there was no offer of reimbursement.

Wer nicht den All Inclusive Wahnsinn sucht.
Wer offen fĆ¼r Ɯberraschungen, die Menschen und die Natur ist, kann hier eine sehr schƶne Zeit verbringen. Wer Luxus und Komfort sucht ist fehl am Platz. Sehr nette Gastfamilie, nette Angestellte und entzĆ¼ckende Tiere. Allein die GerƤuschkulisse am Abend (Nacht) ist ein Erlebnis. Ein 4x4 Fahrzeug empfiehlt sich, der Weg zu den wundervollen Playas der Umgebung und nach Las Terrenas zieht sich hin und wieder, bei guter Verkehrslage 10 bis 15 min. Biegt man jedoch, wenn man auf die HauptstraƟe kommt mal links statt rechts ab, fĆ¼hrt einen die StraƟe Ć¼ber die Berge mit Wahnsinns Ausblicken nach Sanchez und weiter nach Samana (St. Barbara) Die Anlage ist stƤndig in Entwicklung, derzeit kein Pool, aber es wird entsprechend RĆ¼cksicht genommen und nur notwendige Arbeiten werden wƤhrend der Anwesenheit durchgefĆ¼hrt. Es ist zu hoffen, dass dieses Ambitionierte Projekt von Helena und Dominic eine Chance, in dieser doch von Corona gebeutelten Branche bekommt. Sie verdienen es! Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt gesplittet, 15 Tage Jurassic Park (Nur der Jungle passt) 12 Tage an der Beach. Aber Jurassic wird sicher mehr in der Erinnerung haften bleiben. Mucho Gusto!
