Great place to chill and enjoy nature
We spent two very restful days at Tubagua, sitting on the veranda looking over the valley to the ocean. The peace and quiet was a welcome respite from the goofy all inclusive resorts. The staff was wonderful with a warm welcome and cheerful service. We did the meal plan which I highly recommend, the home cooked meals were a great mix of fresh Dominican food. The bed in the open air cabana was very comfortable. Bathrooms are basic but the shower had hot water and an incredible view over the valley. I wish we had the time and energy to take some of the walks and visit some of the surrounding county side, something I plan on doing when we visit Tubagu again. Also if you need transportation ask for Luis he's a great driver and is full of information on the area.

Best meal and view in the Dominican Republic!
We came to the Ecolodge for the lunch that was included in our fantastic nature hike package. What a surprise when we finally arrived! We found ourselves perched on the tiptop of the mountain with an amazing view of the distant mountains, valley and ocean. The lunch was delicious, with savory lentils, salad and a delicious flavored fish dish. For desert we had fried bananas with chocolate sauce and the best cup of coffee so far on the island. Visiting with the family cat and dog were an extra fun activity. Our hostesses were absolutely lovely.

Beautiful but overpriced
I stayed at Tubagua Eco Lodge for two nights, and although the views from our room and the dining area were fantastic, I left feeling as though I had been way overcharged for the privilege. The lodge is a good 40 minutes drive from the city of Puerto Plata, meaning that once you arrive there you are rather isolated, even if you have a car like we did. This is especially the case as driving in the dark in the DR can be a rather harrowing experience. When combined with the fact that none of breakfast, lunch or dinner is included in the room price, you realise that these additional costs are almost unavoidable. You therefore need to take into account that each day you'll need to pay an extra $7.50/person (+28% tax) for breakfast, $17.50/person (+28% tax) for dinner and (if you…

Response from ecolodgetubagua, Owner at Tubagua Plantation Eco Lodge
Responded Mar 3, 2019
We're so sorry you and your partner (who also sent in a 2-star review) didn't enjoy your stay at Tubagua. We take our reviews very seriously and whenever we receive a less than 4-star review we have a staff meeting and go over it with a fine-toothed comb. From each one we strive to find out how we can improve our facilities and client service. Thank you for pointing out with detail the things that didn't satisfy you. It will help us in our goal of maintaining our current score of 96% good and excellent reviews.

Great view, amazingly over priced
Starting with the positives. Yes this place is truly stunning and we loved the view from our bungalow. However, we found that our stay deteriorated after initial good impressions. We have stayed at ecolodges in many countries around the world including the fabulous Aventura ecolodge in nearby Rincon, and can say Tubagua ecolodge was exceptionally disappointing in comparison. The prices are ludicrous. 5 American dollars plus 28% tax for a bottle of beer is crazy. The price you pay for accommodation should at very least include breakfast, especially as you’re seriously isolated. It did not. We were not allowed to book a packed lunch as we hadn’t emailed beforehand even though we could see people making them up in front of our eyes. I feel like this place has an identity…

Lunch with a view after a coffee experience
We had lunch at this wonderful location as part of a coffee experience tour from our cruise ship. After driving up from the coast, we had an introduction to coffee production in the DR in the lodge's learning centre along the road. We were then able to participate in the planting of coffee seeds in order to grow seedlings to give to local farmers in order to revitalise the coffee industry in DR. Finally we were shown the harvesting, roasting, grinding and brewing processes before trying a cup. We were then taken along to the lodge where a stew lunch was provided in the restaurant with amazing views of the countryside down to the coast. The grounds are impressive and the lodge looks well taken care of. The owner spoke to the group a couple of times during our stay and we had the…
