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

We ended up one night only in Barahona returning from Pedernales (Baya de Las Aguilas). 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

Very nice hotel right in from of the Caribbean Sea. The service is excellent. We stayed here for a wedding. everything was well decorated, the food was great and the employees always have a big smile to share with the guests. 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

The hotel was clean and the buffet was wonderful. It was a great to relax by the pool and beach. There are mangrove islands in the cove that you can swim to from the hotel beach. 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

I stayed here in March 2010 (sorry for the late review) while visiting Bahrona on a medical mission trip. The hotel was better than expected. Very clean and fairly modern, considering the location. The food was okay, plenty of selections. We avoided the lettuce and other raw vegetables/fruits that couldn't be peeled. A few people in our group did get... More

A very nice choice, the hotel is samll, but beautifull, a little dusty, but all Barahona is. the hotel haves a marvelous beach, with two little mangrooves islands (see fotos) you can reach swimming easily (beware beyond the islands, the sea current is strong) the pool bar is superb for a nice rum and tonic sunset. There are armies of... More
