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 racist. 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.

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!!!

This is my second visit to Villa Taina, both times solo. It is a nice spot close to lots of restaurants and shops. It is quiet and safe and the people working here are very helpful and friendly. Right on the the beach, and a very good beach for going on a long walk, or to go kiting/windsurfing/wingfoiling

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.

Excellent hotel, clean and great people working there. Standard room small so we upgraded to superior room. It was great overlooking the beach/pool. Bar close and great. Happy hour nice. Serenade restaurant great

Great ocean view room! We loved the large balcony and chaise lounges. The beds were firmer than we like. beautiful beach with chaise lounges and lots of palm trees if you want shade. The pool is small but we knew that and we don't use the pool anyways. We got breakfast a couple times and it was good. We didn't eat at the restaurant, so many other food places nearby. It was fun watching the kitesurfers. The breaze felt good and it never felt "too windy".

We recently stayed here for 6 nights and were so happy we did, this hotel is awesome! Very lovely, warm feel, clean, spacious rooms, the staff is so friendly and helpful. Rooms were quiet at night and beds comfortable. The bar and restaurant are very good, food is really great, service is prompt. The pizza was to die for! Cocktails are very tasty and well made as well. The location is perfect, right in the middle of everything but not too noisy . We had a 4th floor room with a large patio overlooking the ocean and perfect view to see the stars. I will be back!
