The location is good. The ocean view by the pool is beautiful. Rooms were just okay. Air conditioner didn’t work and there are no screens on the windows so wasps and bugs were coming in forcing us to close them. Towels are small and scratchy and bathroom is very small.

Nothing to complain about at this gorgeous B&B. Norman and Joyce are some of the nicest hosts I've ever encountered. I HIGHLY recommend staying with them if you're ever in the DR.

I spent an amazingly peaceful week at Hotel Panorámica and am already planning my next visit! Staff are delightful. Breakfasts were delicious. Rooms are spacious and well equipped. Electricity, WiFi and water were available at all times. The suite upstairs with the oceanfront balcony is priceless. I slept with the sliding doors wide open most nights and enjoyed the ocean breeze and constant calming sound of the waves all night. Most days I had the pool all to myself while other guests explored the many beaches nearby on either side of the property. Several days I took the public transit for 50RD Pesos (approx $1US each way) into Barahona to shop and eat. I really can’t wait to get back!

Just what we were looking for
Posted 4 Jul 2018
Pros: Location, small property, private, view, great hosts!
Cons: Pillows
Location: 10 minutes south of Barahona on a good road. Right on the Caribbean
It had been 9 years since first visiting Barahona. We were more than pleased with everything at the b&b. Hosts were friendly and unintrusive. It was like we had the place to ourselves. The pool was a favourite for my daughters...the view and tranquility were what I liked best. The only bump...pillows were not the best, but I made due...lol.
Yes...there are power outages. Anyone who lives here, know this. We were luck to only have a few minutes of no fan...lol
This is a perfect place for those who want exceptional bang for the buck!
Thanks...we will be back!

Amazing Time!
Posted 1 Jun 2018The view of ocean and the pool are some of the unforgettable features that this hotel has. The location is perfect for beach lovers like me. I enjoyed every minute of my stay in this place. The owners and staff were very welcoming and friendly.

No Electricity
Posted 26 Mar 2018After driving for hours to get there when we arrived we there were no electricity. We were very surprised because we later learned this was an ongoing issue and no one informed us before we booked this Hotel. The receptionist promised us the issue would be resolved in the morning. Tired and hungry we left to go eat. Had we know then what we know now, we would have checked into another Hotel because the electrical problem was not resolved in the morning. Instead the Owner offered us a discount. I told him I could not stay in a facility with no electricity and we left.

Thank you sir for taking the time to right a review. However you are not reporting our issue with electrical issue accurately. In fact we did inform you and as well all our guest days before your arrival. After telling you that we had a power surge from the grid that knocked out our solar power system, as well our generator. We had informed to you the night you checked in that we would offer a discount if you decided to stay. We never promised that it would be fixed in the morning and you decided to leave when the grid power went off at around 5pm that afternoon. We never even charged you for your night. We were finally able to get it fixed and amazingly others that also decided to stay said they thought it was romantic with all the candles we had lit in their room's. It's unfortunate that these problems can occur but harder for us because it is out of our control and the length of time it can take to get fixed. This is why we informed ALL our guests before arrival so they could make their own decision to stay or not to stay. I'm now thinking if this happens again we will just close and refuse any guests to insure no one is disappointed. Kind regards, Norm
