Corales Punta Rusia

Great hotel experience for the price. Rene, the owner/host, was very gracious and attentive in ensuring a pleasant and enjoyable stay. The service staff was very accommodating and eager to please. Room was neat and tidy with great ocean view. Breakfast was plenty, superb, and varied - toasted baguette, eggs, imported sliced cheeses and salami, crepes, and fresh fruits, and coffee - enough to start the day and have a light lunch or skip it altogether. The hotel is ideally situated in the middle (4 mins by car or an easy walk) of either Playa La Ensenada or the quaint, small village of Punta Rusia. The locals are very friendly and are aware, and act accordingly, that their livelihood depends on tourism. If you are looking for a safe, quiet, and peaceful place to relax or unwind, or if you love being near the ocean as I do, Punta Rusia is the perfect getaway.

We loved our stay in Punta Rucia and the Corales was the perfect place to stay Rene was a perfect host he gave us many suggestion and was always very helpful. Hotel is only 2 minutes walk to a wonderful Long Beach water crystal clear, really a paradise ! Rooms are very large and clean and breakfast served on the beautiful terrace is top! We will be back soon Absolutely recommended

We only stayed for one night as our purpose in Punta Rusia was only to visit Cayo Arena. Corales was the perfect choice for us as Rene, the owner was very accommodating to our schedule. We arrived in the afternoon in time for dinner, had breakfast in the morning, went to Cayo Arena, then went back to the hotel to shower and check-out. Our plans were last minute, we only decided the night before that we were going to make the trip from Santo Domingo. We reached out to our tour guide from Explora Dominicana who recommended Corales and provided us with Rene's WhatsApp. Rene responded right away and was able to reserve two rooms for us. When we arrived at the hotel our rooms were ready for us. The air conditioning worked very well, there was hot water and the bed was comfortable. Dinner was prepared by Rene and was one of the best gourmet meals I've had on the island. In particular the Marlin was remarkable, but there were beef, chicken and vegetarian items serves as well, all were delicious. We stayed on a weeknight and things were quiet at the hotel and on the street by 10pm, perhaps it picks up a bit on the weekend. When I say quiet... I didn't think there was anyplace quiet in the DR, you always here a moto passing by, not here. It was amazing to be right on the ocean with peace and quiet like you would expect on a deserted island. I wish we would have planned on staying longer for this feature alone. Breakfast was filling; pancakes, or maybe they were crepes, not sure. Lunch meats, cheeses, scrambles eggs, toast. Oh yes, and there's plenty of coffee. We left satisfied and weren't hungry on our subsequent trip to Cayo Arena. Everything was tasty. Now here's the best part. For our trip to Cayo Arena Rene arranged everything for us and even paired us up with two other guests making us a party of 5 which saved us money. At 8am It was a short 3 minute drive to the beach where the boat captain was waiting for us. We immediately left for Cayo Arena making a brief stop to swim in the natural pool, a small area of shallow water around 3 feet deep- make sure you stop here, it was my favorite spot to swim. We arrived at Cayo Arena before any other tourists, and let me tell you, make sure you do the same. Within an hour after our arrival there were over 100 people on the tiny sand bar and they came on big tour boats. The hour we had with few people around was one of the most incredible hours of my life, but as it filled up it became less fun. We weren;t rushed by our boat captain, we stayed at least an hour and a half and he still took us for a half hour tour of the mangroves. The price we paid for the rooms and the boat tour was very affordable and well worth the value we received. We will definitely be back.

Hermoso lugar, estuvimos muy cómodos. René, el anfitrión nos orientó sobre lo que podíamos hacer. Muy amable. Todo el personal muy agradable y atentos, el desayuno muy rico. Nos sentimos muy a gusto y mis niños quedaron encantados. Es una excelente relacion precio calidad! Sin duda volvería y lo recomiendo.!!

Este alojamiento queda casi a la misma distancia de Playa Ensenada que del pequeño poblado de Punta Rucia a unos 700 metros aproximadamente, de cada lado. Para quien visita Punta Rucia, es un lugar para pasar un fin de semana, sin mayores pretensiones que tener unos colchones sencillos, económicos, en una amplia habitación para dormir... a lo que vas. Los pocos empleados que tiene el lugar son personas sencillas, muy amables; además del propietario, una persona agradable, muy educada, de excelente trato, que te puede ayudar a contactar desinteresadamente las actividades que harás en Punta Rucia. El desayuno está muy bien servido, nada variado de un día a otro, pancakes, huevos, panes, quesos, salami, jugo, leche y cafe; por otro lado, está la cena, qué aunque no esté incluído en la estadía, dazte el gusto de cenar en el lugar, el chef es el propietario del alojamiento, un señor de origen alemán con experiencia en las cocinas de algunos restaurantes con un gusto especial; espera la recomendación del día, en dos días que estuvimos, nos tocó el primer dia una pizza margarita y el 2do día un pescado a la plancha en salsa... ambos elaborados con frescos ingredientes y condimentado de manera natural, póngalo en lo alto de su lista por probar. Un plus del lugar es la hermosa vista de la bahía desde el segundo y tercer nivel del alojamiento. Si vas por un par de día es una excelente opción para quedarte conocer Playa Ensenada, la Playa de Punta Rucia, Cayó Arena, los manglares de Estero Hondo o ir a realizar actividades como nadar, buceo, kitesurf o bananaboat en Ensenada... date un pescado frito en Playa Ensenada para almorzar, puesto 20.

Hotel acogedor y familiar para pasar unos días. Cerca de playas y atracciones turísticas. Su dueño René muy atento con todo y un excelente cocinero. Habitaciones sencillas y limpias. Buena calidad precio.
