Bravo Beach Hotel

We felt very fortunate to have booked Casa Roja across the street. Roomy and breezy home away from home. A few tweaks and I could stay a month! The owner, Carl, was very accommodating and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again. 5-10 minute walk to the center of town yet tucked away in a neighborhood. I felt very safe at all times and enjoyed the local animals, cats, dog, horses. The roosters are loud. They start in the wee hours but this is their home, not mine.

Bravo Beach Hotel was perfect for us for 2 nights. Our room was upper floor waterfront. The beach is not swimmable, but it’s a beautiful view and you can hear the sound of waves all night. Very clean. I love that they have a code for your room door and no key to lose! Grounds were immaculate, groundskeeper was working there all day to tidy things up. 2 beautiful pools which was surprising for a small hotel, we didn’t have time to swim but if we had an extra day we would have! Very friendly. Provided beach towels. Has a serve your self first-come-first-serve supply of beach chairs, coolers, umbrellas, floats, etc. We appreciated the chairs and a cooler for a day at the beach! It’s on a hill and we didn’t mind the 10-15 walk into town in the morning for breakfast and in the evening for a cocktail. We had a jeep to explore the rest of the island. If you’re planning on no vehicle, it would prob be a challenge but if you are renting a vehicle I highly recommend it! Lovely place lovely stay!

The setting of the hotel is breathtaking with rooms overlooking the ocean. Chris checked us in and was very helpful with restaurant suggestions. The villa is clean and functional with a lovely outdoor covered patio overlooking the water. The pool area was the highlight with the surrounding ocean view. The hotel provided beach chairs, towels and coolers and umbrellas to rent. The landscaping on the property provided more beauty.

Had a quickly planned long Memorial Day trip and stayed here for three nights. We were quite happy here. The rooms are simple but clean and tasefully decorated. The bed was comfortable. Our room (#23) looks out to the east and has a balcony which basically sits right over the pool. The hotel ownership makes available beach chairs and coolers for guests (you have to pay extra for beach umbrellas which I think is unfortunate.) The beach right outside the hotel is not something you are going to use and don't expect to (it's not attractive nor does it look safe to walk on.) But that was OK with us. The pool is quite nice but I have have complaints about the pool side chairs and lounges (they could be more comfortable.) The grounds of the hotel are well kept and our stay was quiet. There's a second pool which we did not use. It's close to the ferry terminal, to Mar Azul (the most popular bar/restaurant in town) each about 5 min tops. A little further to other businesses along the main stretch of town. Free parking on premises if you rent a car or a golf cart.

Lovely hotel on the coast with spacious rooms, nice pools, and enjoyable porch area to sit outside under a roof or in chairs in the sun. Very quiet during our stay. Pool ocean front. Beach area is rocky so not easy to get in the ocean here (didn't try). Beach in Esperanza is better, and many restaurants there, but noisy and more crowded. Recommend a rental car to get around. Some room features a little worn but fine. Lots of outlets, which I appreciated. Wifi very serviceable. Secure after hours with coded gate entry. No food or drink on site, but good sized room frig and both coolers and beach chairs provided for excursions. Some hills between hotel and ferry/town but fairly short walk.

Stayed 5 Nights, room was clean and had everything we needed. Views from Suite and balcony were exceptional, sunsets, breezes, and the sounds constantly remind you that you're on vacation in a tropical paradise. Beaches and Eateries were easy to navigate and Esperanza was only a 20 min drive if you are planning the Bio-Bay Tour ( which I highly recommend! ) Carl ( the owner of the hotel) and Chris (who also handles the reception desk) are very nice and extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the Island and amenities. They have free chairs and coolers you can take to the beach which is really nice and umbrellas you can rent for a small fee.|Definitely planning a return visit or two. (sorry I wasn't able to upload any photos)

The location is great, a short walk from the ferry. The views were mostly great, 2 pools one that is open 24 hours and one that is open until 8. They have beach chairs for you to use and coolers however there is no swimming at the beach the hotel is located on

It is a walking distance from the ferry, there is a small steep hill you need to pass but nothing serious. Great location and the view is amazing, nothing like waking up next to the ocean. Rooms were spacious and clean. Chris was very friendly gave us great tips and recommendations. They have coolers and beach chairs for guests. Best way to move throughout the island is to rent a golf cart or car, hotel has parking space.
