WOW !!!.... Just....WOW !!!! . I've stayed at many hostels during all my travels, most of them Great !! But the personal attention and commitment shown by the 2 owners to ensure that my (and other guests') stay, tours and whatever more were met is of an exceptionally high level !!! It's a small hostel, which absolutely has its charms and the location near: * For me one of thé most picturesque palm tree filled beaches I've ever seen - only a 5 min. walk * Various super markets (closest = 3min. Walk, furthest = 7 min. Walk) * Various very affordable bars not only in town centre, but even better on that pristine beach within mentioned walking distances in a very safe area. No problem to walk alone around at night) I booked all my tours through GAVA and they even were so committed that they both walked me (and on other days the other hostel guests) to the early 6:30-tour pick-up location to be sure I got on the right bus !!! (I mean...just WOW !!) Additionally they were very eager to hear the experiences of the tour, so - if necessary - they could improve quality, expectation, service, etc. (....Just WOW !!) GAVA really thought of practical things such as that: * EVERY bed has an electrical socket prepared for most INTERNATIONAL plugs AND 2 USB-ports. * Easy and trustworthy lockers for personal items it's with their key, so you don't have to buy a padlock or something. * Beds AND cushions are very comfy. In fact...the moment you lay down, not sleeping is just NOT possible. * Even though the room sleeps 4, the wooden bunkbeds were of such good quality they make absolutely no sound and do no wobble when somebody gets in / out of bed so the others don't get woken up unnecessarily !! * Hostel is exceptionally clean and the owners make sure it stays that way !! Every time I came back from staying elsewhere in Dom Rep, there was only one place I wanted to go back to....GAVA !!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
