We booked 4 nights to celebrate my husband’s birthday and had a great stay! Property is gorgeous, staff is super friendly and helpful, we did some tours and a visit to Grecialandia (a must do!) in puerto plata and it was an easy drive about 45/50 minutes. It’s great to have a resort feel that also feels like home. Having a full kitchen is a game changer and the apartment was much bigger than it appeared in the photos, which we appreciated. Will definitely be back!

I’ve been to several places and stayed in several resorts in the Dominican. This is by far one of the best places to stay kids in the pool, making noise like kids do other than that wonderful place.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The view was incredible, the property was very well kept, and the beach was just a short walk away; about ten minutes through a scenic trail. All the staff were friendly and helpful and brought us a lot of water jug refills. We would definitely stay here again!

Loved our stay at Ocean Palms. It’s location was perfect! Quiet and had everything you need to enjoy Encuentro and Cabarete. Walk to the food truck market across the street (open at night), it’s very cool with great food and live music on Saturday nights. Stayed a week and had to ask for replacement towels but reception staff are friendly! Pool is great and lots of parking. Very safe. Recommend!

I frequently travel to the Dominican and can say that this new hotel/apartment complex is now the nicest on the North Coast. Beautiful colonial architecture, lush gardens, and a big, beautiful pool on the outside. Inside the rooms look and feel totally modern. Big TV, fast internet, A/C in every room, very, very clean. Staff was great too. Playa Encuentro is beautiful and so peaceful. Very close to Cabarete and Sosua. Worth the visit.

The location is alright about a 10 minute walk to the beach. The staff is friendly and carried one of our heavy suitcases upstairs to our room. The rooms look nice, but had dead bugs in the corners and little issues. The bathroom door wouldn’t latch closed and the towel rack fell off of the wall when I took my towel off. The shower water was lukewarm most of the time and very hot and difficult to control other times. Some of the wall electrical outlets didn’t work. Overall the rooms were spacious and looked nice. The kitchen and dining room was large and had dishes in the cupboards. There was a 5 gallon water cooler for refilling water bottles. Most of the hotels in the area had a restaurant, however this one doesn’t, so we walked to other hotel restaurants.

Ocean Palms is not exactly a hotel. It's a condominium or apartment complex. It has pretty much everything you need to live there for awhile. Everything is very clean and well-managed by Jennifer and her staff. You do need transportation to get to major beach areas, but for living and relaxing, it's all there.
