Natura Cabana Boutique Hotel & Spa by Mint

This was our mini honeymoon my husband and I took before we left the Dominican Republic and we had the best time at Natura Cabana! So thankful to the whole team for providing a great experience. We loved the pool, spa, and took advantage of the yoga classes and free breakfast!

My husband and I just had our wedding at Natura Cabana earlier this month and would like to warn people about the issues you may experience if you choose to have your wedding at this location. Although it is a beautiful location we unfortunately had a very negative experience leading up to the wedding and during. Food poisoning for 21/26 guests At around 3pm on the day of the wedding shortly after lunch, one of our guests started to feel unwell and was not able to attend our wedding dinner. Shortly after dinner several other guests followed. Our wedding reception resulted in the majority of our guests dropping like flies from violent nonstop diarrhea and vomiting. This was extremely disappointing as all of these people had flown in for the weekend to celebrate with us and instead of being able to drink, celebrate and dance together by 10pm there were only 6 people left standing with the 7 late night pizzas we ordered being untouched and handed out to staff to take home with them instead. As none of the guests had left the Natura grounds this had to have been caused by the food we were served by Natura. When we raised the concern the next morning to the Natura staff and the wedding planner they took no accountability, offered no apology and even accused us of lying. My husband and I were extremely disappointed that all of our guests were unwell, some even needing to go to the hospital once back in Canada after not recovering after over a week. This event unfortunately ruined our wedding weekend as guests were still too unwell to eat brunch the next day. The bunch also cost $35usd per person- a complete rip off with only a few fingers foods being served. Breakfast for guests is included for all guests at Natura but we were told if we paid extra for this wedding brunch it would be extremely elaborate & fancy with lots of food and options which was not the case at all - stick with the free breakfast it will keep your guests full and the brunch is a complete scam. However, based on what I noted above I wouldn’t suggest eating here. The wedding planner nightmare: The wedding planner does not live in the country so will not be there on your wedding day and was not around to give us a tour of the location before we booked the wedding. She works remotely and is often unresponsive having to follow up after every question or request before hearing back. The wedding planner, was frustrating and tiresome to work with. From the beginning my husband and I were very involved and detailed with our vision for our wedding at Natura Cabana. Our first contact with the wedding planner happened 12 months before we arrived for our wedding yet the wedding planner continuously requested the same details we had provided well in advance during the very last weeks leading up to the wedding causing us undo stress, lack of trust in their ability and inability to deliver our vision for our wedding weekend. We had to instigate multiple meetings with our wedding planner to e

Lovely place! Natura Cabana was perfect! Excellent food, steps from the beach, staff were lovely, massage was great - what more could you need? In particular, Victor went above and beyond and helped my wife get her AirPods back after we had left for another hotel in a different part of the island. We will definitely return!

Our stay at the property was out of this world. We had such an amazing time. The food was good, only hiccup was dinner. They try to create an American style menu which is okay, but would have preferred more local cuisines. Staff was friendly, beach was beautiful and secluded. Our room was very clean and I have to say the design was great. I am looking forward to going back with my kids since this time was a couple trip. Thank you having us. One last thing, we did a romantic dinner on the beach. Very impressed with the attention, candle lights and service. Highly recommend trying it.

Beautiful Eco Resort on a stunning beachfront property. The Cabanas are nicely kept and furnished with all the comforts of home. Refreshing pool and shady sitting areas surrounding. Loved the Yoga studio with ocean views and the spa treatments were very relaxing. The two restaurants serve delicious, healthy meals with several options available. The Smoothies are a must-have! The ocean is soothing with the rolling waves, but when we were there it really was not safe for swimming. I went in and had a very hard time getting out due to the undertow and heavy waves. This is the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway in nature. Also, great for families and large groups as the Cabanas hold several people.

Heavenly Cabarete I just spent two weeks at this amazing little boutique hotel. The beach is very private and calming. The reception/ management staff are extremely helpful and the food is terrific here.
