Why we love this accommodation: a sustainable eco lodge in the lush mountains of the Dominican Republic's north coast with spectacular ocean views

This eco lodge is a truly special accommodation with a sustainable philosophy in the mountains of the Northern Mountain Range, offering 10 Robinson Crusoe style rooms and marvellous views of the ocean of the Dominican Republic's north coast. This eco lodge, which is owned and operated by the Canadian honorary consul, has a unique atmosphere which is especially suitable for nature lovers and travellers who are seeking an authentically Dominican experience. Highlights are the omnipresent ocean view, which guests even can enjoy while taking a shower, and the common panorama terrace, where meals are served for all guests and where the staff is happy to talk about the daily life in the Dominican Republic or about what the north coast has to offer, all while sipping a rum, trying a local cigar or during the tasty local dinners which are served family style. You can also learn about the sustainability of the eco lodge, such as the recycling and sewage system, the locally grown products or the service staff who are mostly all from the nearby village. Also the guides are local inhabitants, with whom the guests can explore hidden treasures such as the coffee plantations in the nearby area, the ambar mines or the secluded waterfalls “Charcos del Militar”, an amazing natural sight in the Northern Mountain Range. Furthermore the eco lodge is one of the few easily accessible places where you can go bird watching with the help of a knowledgeable English-speaking guide Those who are interested in eco-tourism in the Dominican Republic definitely should pay this lodge a visit and enjoy a couple of nights in this unique accommodation. Due to the remote location, Dominican Expert absolutely recommends to hire a rental car, which we are happy to book for you.
