We had such a great stay at Castillo Romano! We were greeted by Morena and Theo who were both so friendly and eager to help us learn Spanish! We felt like we were staying with old friends both nights we were there. They made us breakfast, brought us drinks at the pool, and even walked us down to the local bus stop when we needed to find it to ensure we didn't get lost and that we were told the appropriate price for the gua gua. The castle is gorgeous and has an incredible view and Las Terrenas was our favourite town on our backpacking trip around the Dominican. The location of the hotel is right in town and feels very safe other than one semi dark side road to walk down for less than 3 minutes just off the main roads. We did walk but if I was alone at night I would have taken a mototaxi (they are everywhere) just to feel more secure. Being a castle on top of a hill, the walk was very steep but scenic. Theo is a rockstar to run that hill multiple times a day! The owner, who lives in Canada was so kind and helpful; he was quick to respond to questions, gave great tips and suggestions for our trip, and even called to follow up with us about our experience. Overall, we wished we could have spent more time there but had a fantastic trip to continue on. We would love to pass on our sincere thanks to both Morena and Theo, who gave us his contact number so we can practice our Spanish with him! Haha
Great property, great staff. Very pleased we decided to stay here.
