Apartahotel Green Coast (Playa Bavaro, Dominican Republic)

If you've planned a vacation set on the warm sea sand, then this hotel with private beach access is going to work out really well. The small intimate little beach has a well stocked bar with specialty drinks like the Tropical Gin, and a host of others to choose from.

The on-site restaurant offers a variety of cuisine to suite just about any palette, but most visitors said they would not forget the three-cheese pizza, and both kids and adults alike said they would be back for more.

Guests found the rooms inside the hotel to be well soundproofed, the hallways were quiet, and the rooms themselves were set out with plenty of space in mind. The newly renovated bathrooms in particular were fresh, modern and inviting.

Some travellers felt overwhelmed by the many locals trying to sell their goods on the streets outside the hotel. Several guests became quite frustrated at the number of times they had to be polite in trying to discourage this form of trading.

Several complaints about a lack of hot water were reported by travellers. You might just find yourself a little unsettled because your shower won't be hot at all, and some guests felt they were really quite inconvenienced.

Visitors who were relying on the free Wi-Fi that was advertised on the web site were totally disappointed by the inconsistent signal. Those guests who were able to log on found they were disconnected every five minutes.
