Playa Bonita Beach Residences - Nice with Caveats
10 - location is beautiful and away from the noise and fumes of Les Terannas. 8 - cleanliness of the unit was ok. If you are from Canada or USA and expecting 5 star hotel cleanliness for the price, this is not the place. We swept the place twice and still needed to wear socks or sandals in the place. Dishes appeared clean, but we rewashed everything.7 - we had issues with the fridge hour zero (it was not working as in melting ice from the freezer and pool of water on the floor). It took a tech to come in and reset things7 - a coffee maker we were told did not brew coffee??? Ended up doing a pour over the filter with hot kettle water for the rest of the week. Grrr6 - the main contact was responsive at first, but when we had further issues or questions, disappeared. We had to go back to the owner for final check out informationI would rate the place 7/10 and my wife 8/10. We are not high maintenance folks, but the fridge issue right off the start set the tone and it went a bit down hill from there.The area is beautiful, but there is no Uber and taxis are difficult to get.Police love stopping gringos, so if you are driving, stay below the speed limit and keep a couple thousand pesos for shake downs (we were stopped even though cars were passing us… when I asked how much it started at 2000 DR pesos but we paid the nice police officer 1000 DRP). You can ask for a ticket apparently, but no idea how that will go.Enjoy!
