Coral Sol Resort Review

This is the only real eco-inn in the Southwest. In fact, it may remind you of the rustic cabins found in U.S. national parks, except with palm trees instead of evergreens. The Dominican owners have creatively utilized the round white stones from their beach for the pathways and steps, sometimes painting them black to make a pattern. "Resort" is too grand a description for this place, but there's a pool with mismatched furniture and what would be an inviting clubhouse for mingling if the sofas were reupholstered. Cabins are large and bisected with a slatted wood partition, each section with its own double bed and bathroom. In the rustic open-air restaurant, the ladies do turn out some especially flavorful Dominican meals, such as fried fish with tomato sauce and both white beans and black beans. (You may want to just get breakfast for some of the days you stay here. This will reduce the rate by US$20 for those days.) A major renovation is in the works. If you're thinking of making a reservation (the only way guests are accepted), make sure that the fixes and updates have happened.
