Hotel Villa Taina

Pros: beach front, easy access to the beach, tranquility around the lounge beach chairs. Friendly staff Cons: hotel is dated, shower was too small. There were cucarachas coming off the AC vents. Staff came to address it right away, however. There are not elevators and it is difficult to bring luggage to 2nd and 3rd floors. The place was not design for people with mobility issues. Also people are allowed with dogs unleashed. One small dog came after me. When I approach the dog’s owner to ask if he could put his dog on a leash, he became belligerent, disrespectful, and a kind of ******. The hotel staff watched and did nothing. When I ask for the manager to complaint I was told she was on vacation (?) when I ask for whoever was in charge, I was also told that person was also unavailable. It was frustrating and disappointing as that was a safety issue that remained unaddressed.

We stayed the 4th time now as a family in Villa Taina, our personal paradise starting with the breakfast directly at the beach, followed by relaxed time until the kitewinds come up and then spend the evening along the beach bars. We will come back !

Bring your own pillow, pillows are unseeable, security staff are far to friendly to single guests, saying no 10 times should send a message, be sure of your dates, we booked a day early and later changed it 9 days later and no refund for the first day even though we changed the dates and didn’t arrive until late afternoon of the next day, no water in the room after the first day, can’t brush your teeth with tap water, shower is only hot for the first shower. Look at all the extra charges before booking and all funds are in American dollars btw

My husband and I had an amazing experience at Hotel Villa Taina. The hotel staff was amazing. Every morning Miguel made sure to check and see if we needed anything and helped us book several excursions so we could experience different things. The breakfast buffet was full of different choices that were all delicious, and the wait(Anselma and Dariana) staff was phenomenal. We ate dinner several times here as well, and each time Junior made sure that we had everything we needed for dinner as well. I would recommend staying here!

The massage at the spa was amazing. I recently had an ACL reconstruction and all my muscles keep tightening up. Crystal's massage was deep enough yet gentle. The ambience is so tranquil. Very clean and relaxing. Crystal is such delight. Definitely going back for more!!!

Breakfast buffet was pretty bad. Omelet was OK. Half of the food trays were empty. Potato and sausages were cold. Service very poor. Requested milk for coffee three times. Worst breakfast buffet ever. If it's not included in your stay check the food trays before you eat there. Total rip off.
