We went with Mishael on a kayak tour of the mangroves all the way out to the cave paintings in the park Los Haitis. It had to be the best tour I have done in all of Latin America. It was fun, laid back, active, and our guide was exceptional. He has studied in the states and has excellent English... More

As a good eater I like to try many restaurants anywhere I visit but the restaurant at Caño Hondo broke all patient eater !!! 2.5 hours to get our food with an empty restaurant !! Be there with a sandwich bag and coke and go ahead with other place. The zip line it short but ver nice and inexpensive.

Went only to the restaurant and the food is terrible and expensive. Our family went there, we are 9 members and not even one of us were satisfied with the food. I'm not the kind of person that takes his time to write reviews so you you can imagine how bad was it.

There is not much selection of hotels in Sabana de la Mar, so Paraiso was essentially an only choice. The web page was in Spanish only but with help of some online translator you... More

To be fair, my boyfriend and I did not end up spending the night here because they kept raising the price on us. I called in the morning to confirm availability, they quoted us $45USD for two people, including meals. I gave them my name and told them we were on our way. The hotel is several miles up a... More

3 of us stayed here in March 2012, and we were ready to leave after the first 12 hours, but stayed 2 days as was our plan. The rooms they have set up for a Triple, 3 people, 3 separate beds, was large and 2 story. But it was very loud as it overlooked the reception/dinning/ kitchen area. We could... More
