Great stay. Great staff. Very safe and everyone was so friendly and accommodating.
It was a very comfortable stay and I would like to thank our hosts for their hospitality. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is traveling to Puerto Plata.
this property was so clean and everybody was so nice. Breakfast was delicious. The room was clean and the property was easy to get to. They even send us through WhatsApp places where we could go visit and place where we could go to eat when I go back to Puerto Plata, I will be definitely staying in Gaia Residence.
This is a lovely little hidden gem, slightly off the beaten path, but close enough to the heart of Puerto Plata to still be convenient. The hotel is bright and welcoming, and the rooms are spacious, comfortable, and clean. The area is safe and walkable to shopping and numerous dining options, and the beach is a 25 minute walk away. The owners are wonderful people who genuinely care about the comfort of their guests. They provided lots of great information about the area, and they were very responsive to our needs and requests during our stay. To top it all off, they serve a delicious daily breakfast. We can't recommend Gaia Residence highly enough!
What a lovely hotel. Owners on site, great communication from the start. Amazing breakfast. Recommendations for restaurants, activities, taxi service given. Room felt just like home. Super spacious, comfortable, modern decor, great AC + fan, sofa to watch movie on TV wt streaming apps & fast Wifi. Felt well rested. Restaurants, grocery store and more in walking distance. Super secure, in gated neighborhood
Wir haben es sehr genossen im Gaia , einziger Minuspunkt war das der Schreibtisch als Möbel für den Fernseher benutzt wurde und daher schlecht zu gebrauchen war. Suite 5
Brand new house, all is in best condition. The gated community is in construction, so: the streets are still unpaved (but this is no issue).
The location, a bit outside the city but still in walking distance, is good (one is fastly out of the crowded city). The rooms are very spacious, the breakfast is individual (and great), the staff fantastic - I will come back if possible!
Marina and her husband was great, staff is good. So welcoming place. I will definitely staying here again. Only the road is not up to mark. Overall best place.
Marina the hostess was charming and knew English. The room was spacious, nicely decorated, and clean. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful. Truly a great value.
