Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Las Galeras

Employees very friendly and happy. I would have liked more music and fun during the day around the beach or pool. Little boring sitting all day without it! But beautiful for sure. Maybe more menu choices for casual meals at the pools and bars.

Our honeymoon at Cayo Levantado felt like a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the beauty and care we experienced. The exceptional service, stunning views, and attention to every detail made this an unforgettable trip. We want to give a special thank you to the amazing team: • Sol at the beach, who was always sweet and recommended the best drinks. • Carlos at the beach, who made sure we had incredible drink suggestions. • Augusto at the restaurants, who provided flawless and attentive service. • Angelito, who kindly transported us in the carts with such warmth. • Jefris, the manager, who ensured every aspect of our stay was perfect. • Emmanuela, our ambassador, who went above and beyond to care for us. The food options were incredible, offering a variety of flavors to enjoy. The pools and the beach were breathtaking, and the room was always impeccably cleaned, adding a sense of luxury to our stay. What made this experience truly special was how the staff treated us—with kindness, dedication, and genuine care. It was so emotional that I cried when we had to leave. Cayo Levantado wasn’t just a honeymoon; it was a dream and a memory we’ll treasure forever. Thank you to the entire team for making this a magical experience. We can’t wait to return!

This is the island jewel in the crown of the Bahia Principe empire of resorts. Newly refurbished, it is the wonderful opposite of the Punta Cana drinkfests in its solitude, quiet, dignity, beauty, and healthy dining. The staff are superbly trained: unfailingly courteous, attentive, and capable. The chefs know their stuff. The grounds and rooms are kept clean and gorgeous. The gym is small but wonderfully equipped. The pools are splendid and the seating more than ample—the same goes for the beach. In fact, one might want a little less oomph from the beachside DJ and some of the nighttime restaurant musicians, as the vibe of the resort is of calm joy, not amped-up happy-happy. In general, though, quiet and considerate hospitality is constant every moment of every day. Specially chosen little gifts left in the room, a lunchbox for early departers (we flew in and out of Punta Cana, so we needed provisions for the 5-hour car ride), and a dozen other kindnesses seasoned an already exquisite experience. If you want what the website promises, Cayo Levantado Resort delivers—and how. We'll be back. For sure.

We stayed in early March for 6 days and loved every day. Frankly, everything was great. We didn't get to try the spa or excursions because we had a 15mo old baby with us, which takes a lot of time, but just the pools and the beach were wonderful. The food was amazing. Each restaurant had fantastic food. Even the breakfast buffet was phenomenal. For drawbacks, getting to the property is a major drag. It's a 3hr ride by car from Santo Domingo. Not much they can do about that, I guess. What they can improve on are two things: quality of coffee (didn't enjoy that at all) and the staff needs to get a bit better on their English. Some are better than others, but most of the time, communication was challenging. You can also communicate with your "ambassador" via WhatsApp and even that was not all smooth sailing, so yeah, staff's English needs to improve. But don't let this hold you back, even with what it is now, it's been a wonderful stay.

We absolutely loved everything about the place. It’s well designed and managed, quiet, beautiful, with excellent food and very attentive and caring personnel. We booked two rooms which were very spacious and comfortable. The resort facilities provide opportunities for various activities, are well equipped and run. The gym is great. There are several large pools and they were never crowded. The beach is very beautiful. Many thanks to the staff of the hotel who made this stay so enjoyable and pleasant. Overall - a great experience.

Grounds were beautiful. Nice pool. Breakfast was very good and filling -- good coffee, eggs, salad fruit. Bathroom marble tiling was nice. Good shower pressure and temperature. Comfy bed. Nice balcony overlooking courtyard and pool. Friendly and accommodating staff.

Built and owned by same husband and wife for many years. Have been here twice before. Very comfortable, clean, great a/c, simple pool. Located in center of town, able to walk everywhere. Very nice people, reasonable pricing. Excellent breakfast. Easy parking, do bring mosquito spray. One caution as in every hotel in DR, don't come on weekends. The dear Dominican culture, more than explodes and implodes on weekends. Noise, chaos, crowding, disarray for everything. I live here 20 years, but at times, even I forget how bad it gets. Come sunday afternoon and leave Friday afternoon. But Las Galeras Hotel and the owners are really good people and a perfect place to stay in town. They are building another one in Punta Rucia, will wait for opening and plan to stay there.

Johanna is the most accommodating, helpful, nice, respectful owner. She will help you to get everything you need. Johanna, her beautiful daughter Victoria and her staff provide a wonderful daily breakfast. They keep the grounds, the pool and the rooms clean We very much enjoyed our stay. You are one block from the maim street with lots of restaurants and bars and mini marts. The beach is one block down too.

The rooms are spacious and clean. There is air conditioning and the hotel is in a quite place, but also close to the beach. I liked very much the pool and the garden.

Good breakfast, lovely rooms, and a nice pool
