We ended up one night only in Barahona returning from Pedernales (Baya de Las Aguilas). Since it was too long to drive from there to the Capital, we decided to have a stop in Barahona, 3 hours drive East from Pedernales. The Hotel is great, it got a nice pol, rooms are clean, staff is smiling; wifi is in the... More

It was'nt 15 minutes later and... More

I stayed here in March 2010 (sorry for the late review) while visiting Bahrona on a medical mission trip. The hotel was better than expected. Very clean and fairly modern, considering the location. The food was okay, plenty of selections. We avoided the lettuce and other raw vegetables/fruits that couldn't be peeled. A few people in our group did get... More

A very nice choice, the hotel is samll, but beautifull, a little dusty, but all Barahona is. the hotel haves a marvelous beach, with two little mangrooves islands (see fotos) you can reach swimming easily (beware beyond the islands, the sea current is strong) the pool bar is superb for a nice rum and tonic sunset. There are armies of... More

I stay at Hotel Costa Larimar whenever I travel anywhere in the region on business. Its so clean and comfortable, the food is excellent, the pools are immaculate and the beach is private. The staff bend over backwards to make the guests happy and its secure with full time security and a state of the art CCTV security system. More

All around my trip was enjoyable at Hotel Costa Larimar. I was unfamilar with Barahona - but now I will go back. The food had flavor, the fresh made pastries cannot be missed for dessert, the rooms were very clean, the pool and ocean great and the service staff was very polite. One of the best parts was its location... More

We went to Barahona for a weekend gettaway and really like the stay. Two nights with breakfast are a bit on the expensive side (approx EUR 130) RD$3550 per night with breakfast included) / or approx RD$5500 for stay with 3 meals) but the room was big and clean and had its own balcony. Breakfast was good an plantiful an... More
