Coral Blanco Hotel

If you’re looking for excellent hospitality, Hotel Coral Blanco is it! It’s deeper in the neighborhood, about a 10-15 minute walk for food. But, there is a small beach within 5 minute walk that is absolutely divine to watch the sunset. There are waves, so have a healthy respect for the ocean! But it was a small paradise on its own and I didn’t feel the need to go to playa Alicia or Sosua. There is a restaurant in a hotel two doors down that has decent food, but just be prepared to wait a bit if there’s more than one of you or more than one table present. Michael, Braulio (the security), and the ladies make sure to take good care of you; I mentioned in passing that I didn’t sleep great because the pillows were too soft and the next day I had different pillows without me asking. The neighborhood is humble; don’t expect a luxurious all inclusive feel, it’s an authentic experience with amazing people. I felt safe the entire time as a solo female traveler. The breakfast is delicious and the pool is divine. Definitely stay here if you have the chance! Drive slow if you have a rental ;)
