Hostal Johnnier Macao Punta Cana

Jorge is welcoming and very accommodating. His hotel is a wonderful community gathering place for travelers, workers and locals. You'll wake up to excellent coffee and delicious sweet bread. The walk to Playa Macao is about 10 minutes. His staff are also kind and helpful. This place is not just a hotel - Rafael is a great guide who can help with excursions. The restaurant Capitan Sully on the corner has authentic, mouth watering Dominican dishes. Hotel Johnnier Macao offers a unique insight into a local Dominican community only 10 minutes from a gorgeous UNESCO beach.

More night stands or a place to put one's luggage would be helpful. Bring your own shampoo.

Echoing previous reviews, Jorge is the best part of this hostel—he’s incredibly kind and helpful. The hostel is located about a 15-minute walk from Macao Beach, in a very local, rural area. There are a few small stores nearby and a local restaurant just around the corner. It’s a bit far from most places (about a 20–30 minute drive), so Macao Beach is definitely the main attraction. The hostel itself is very simple, as described—you get a bed and a shower (cold water only). Having windows that open to the outside would make the rooms feel more welcoming and bright, but it’s not a big problem. Coffee, bananas, and biscuits were a nice touch each morning. Overall, it’s a good budget option if you don’t plan to spend much time indoors.

We didnt get the chance to try the breakfast, but the staff was amazing. Incredibly sweet and accommodating. Perfect location within great proximity of a restaurant and pharmacy.

The host, the value, and the community.

Everything was good so I didn't have any problem
