Casa de los Sueños

We were welcomed by the staff and Patty the owner. They were very helpful, kind and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. A home away from home.

It has a homey feel to it. Nicely decorated with comfy beds and a personal touch to each room. The view from the pool is fabulous. Sunken living room with big screen tv. Sunset at the restaurant happy hour was exquisite. Breakfast included was delicious. Highly recommend!

Welcoming staff, service oriented, relaxing environment. All details taken care of . Coffee and juice on our doorstep every morning. Breakfast served until noon. Well prepared food. Music every night and happy hour in the beach restaurant.

I love that this is a small hotel - 10 rooms. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Rooms are very clean - beds comfortable. Breakfast included and can choose off the menus - lots of options. The margaritas are delicious. The view is gorgeous. We spent half the time on the waterfront deck. You can walk off the deck down the stairs into the water; or go to the end of the dock and walk down a wooden ladder into the water (about 10 ft deep) and snorkel. It is very peaceful here which I like. You can take a taxi to/from town. The pool is small but delightful. I originally tried to book an alternate hotel that I have stayed at and it was full. I'm so glad because I am really happy that I stayed at Casa de los Suenos and I hope that I can go back again - the sooner the better. Thank you to everyone at the hotel for making this a great vacation.

Truly excellent place to stay for a very relaxing, calm and beautiful vacation. This is not party central, which is exactly what I wanted. The hotel has 10 rooms, and though the eating areas are open to the public, the hotel lobby feels very homey and calm at all times. The pool is only for the use of those staying at the hotel. If you are looking for a big sandy beach (and the massive crowds this brings), head further north, as this beach is mostly rocky underfoot and very quiet. I did, however, snorkel right off the dock and see lots of fish and a ray. They have free bikes to use if you want to head to other parts of the island, and the staff is extremely responsive to all requests. They set up my massage (which was excellent, and I don't say that lightly), a snorkel trip out to the reef, and all of my transportation to and from the airport. I am trying to figure out how and when I can return.

Very helpful concierge staff, charming room, beautiful ocean with excellent views from the room. Good food at the restaurant. It's on a very secluded part of the island, which is very relaxing, but it does take a taxi ride (about $7 each way) to get to the downtown area and most popular beach area (Playa Norte). They provided kayaks for free and offered free bike rental to explore the island, unfortunately most bikes were in poor repair. A beautiful hotel, excellent room and good value. Would definitely stay here again.

So many unexpected inclusions- snorkelling gear, bike hire, kayaks, mini bar and breakfast. Even a welcome drink on arrival. Great room and service. Top restaurant near the pier that served delicious food- a work of art on your plate. My partner proposed during our stay so its a place I definitely won't forget... even if he hadn't :)

From the reviews I expected a rustic but luxurious accommodation. There are great things here - a beautiful setting, a wonderful staff and very good food. But the room - admittedly one of the "economy" rooms was lacking. From the black mold-like stains above the shower to the cheap piece of foam laid over the bed to the blocks of wood covering the sink so you would not use it the room was not anywhere near what you would expect in this price category. I feel bad saying this because the staff was lovely and certain important things like the AC worked well. But I think some additional attention to the "Libertad" room is necessary. This could be an amazing place. But for us it wasn't.

When we entered Casa de los Sueños we were struck by the view of the large patio or courtyard, the sunken sitting/community space, the pool and then, farther in the distance, the Caribbean Sea. The architecture and colors of the Casa are inviting. Dark reds and light blue colors dominate the area. The concierge was very helpful and we had no trouble checking in. He later brought our bags to our room. We relaxed for a few minutes then walked across the alley and down gravel steps to the restaurant/bar near the deck. There is also a pier that stretches for about a hundred or so yards out over the water. The food at the restaurant was very good and the drinks OK. There was live music provided by a guitarist who sang American, Mexican and Brazilian songs. The one drawback is that the Casa de los Sueños doesn't have a great swimming area. The deck has a ladder that goes into the water, but there is no sandy beach. The free breakfast is fair. Another plus is that the staff is courteous and helpful. Taxis to the tourist area in the center of town cost about 68 pesos (approx. $6 US). Many tourists rent golf carts for about $50 per day. If you enjoy spending time in an intimate setting, reading, relaxing, and bicycling, this is a good choice.
