My girlfriend and I stayed at Hibiscus Valley for 9 nights at start of April 07.
Upon arrival the 'hut' appeared rather rustic, but soon became a fantastic home for the duration of our stay! No hot water, but the sun heats the water hot enough to shower and when the island receives a powercut, theres a candle to shed romantic light on your evening! Take the chance to bathe in the river - it's crystal clear and theres even a rope swing to play with - better than a rubber duckie! The best bathroom in the world!
Like other reports, don't expect luxury, but these huts are a fantastic place to stay and the staff are awesome. Nigel, the cook, is really friendly and delivers food that should belong in a top class restaurant! More than a cook, he also helped us hire our jeep! Daniel is also very helpful - and knowledgeable about the area. The Inn operate day activities for cruise / island hotel guests and include dancing, music and trips to hidden waterfalls. All this hosting takes place across the road from your accom, so does not intrude in your space. By far the most hopitable member of staff was BOB - the dog! Often slept outside our hut and was rewarded by cheese in the morning - maybe why he stayed over?
Overall, a fantastic - basic- place to stay. i have stayed in all inclusive 5*'s and this allowed us to get more in contact with the Dominican way of life. Customer service is excellent, and it's a slice of rainforest beauty in a quiet corner of the island.
Book direct with Daniel and enjoy your stay!
