This hotel is right next to the beach and it's a very nice and pretty beach. My room was not bad, but the bathroom was not very clean. The beds were a bit on the uncomfortable side. The AC was super loud so maybe bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper like me. Most importantly, make sure you spray... More

Don't expect a 5 star hotel and you won't be disappointed. Recently stayed there two nights. It is definitely the nicest place in Barahona and I'm thankful for it. Staff is friendly and attentive. Breakfast bar is good for the Dominican Republic. We wanted to eat dinner there as well but the music blaring in the restaurant made us decide... More

I have stayed here several times and always find it clean, modern, and the staff very helpful and pleasant. It is an American style hotel because it is owned by an American who spends a great deal of time and money making in modern and comfortable by those standards. Many of the medical teams in the area on missions stay... More

A dozen years ago we had enjoyed dinners in the open air dining room of the Riviera, now called Costa Larimar. It was our heart's desire to stay here and enjoy a few days of visiting friends in Barahona. The hotel is older but well maintained. The lobby is newly redecorated and is beautiful. I will warn you: not ONE... More

Since it was too long to drive from there to the Capital, we decided to have a stop in Barahona, 3 hours drive East from Pedernales. The Hotel is great, it got a nice pol, rooms are clean, staff is smiling; wifi is in the... More

They even gave us an extra room free of charge so all the bridesmaids could change clothes and do... More

My daughter was on a medical mission and was turning "21" during her stay. I wanted to do something special for her so I contacted the hotel by e-mail, asking if they could possibily get my daughter a simple rose or a piece of cake to be given at dinner to celebrate her birthday. It was'nt 15 minutes later and... More

A very pleasant surprize to find such high quality food, service, and the entire property clean.Friendly, professional staff, that are very well trained was very refreshing. The qualiy was high American standards but with a big Dominican smile on top. We would return to Barahona just to stay at the Costa Larimar, a jewel in itself! Michele in the dining... More

We saw wild horses a couple of times on the beach.The staff was attentive. There is gated parking and full time security and the... More
