What guests think

At Costambar, travelers highlight a budget-friendly, beachside setting with friendly staff, a small clean pool, and a generally safe, quiet community, while noting dated apartments, very firm beds, and occasional maintenance issues like AC or plumbing glitches.

Cleanliness is generally praised, though some report insects, stained towels, or dusty spots. Wi‑Fi, hot water, and air conditioning performance vary by unit. Staff are widely considered friendly and helpful, but a few guests noted unwelcoming management and limited parking; expect a simple, no‑frills stay focused on beach access and value.

I stay here frequently when I come to Dominican to see my other half. I normally ask ahead of time for things like extra pillows or a wine opener, etc., and they always accommodate me, which is lovely. Great communication. The staff are very nice. Air conditioners in the bedrooms as well as fans on the ceiling to help. Keep it cool. The pool downstairs is small, but definitely there to cool you off my only suggestion would be some umbrellas, cause it gets pretty scorching hot back there

It was clean there were markets nearby. Parking was easy and it's a gated community within a gated community. The pool was clean and so was the apartment. The fridge and ceiling fan were rusted but that happens next to the ocean. They even had a coffee pot and matches for the stove so I could make coffee. It was a pleasure to stay there.

This is my second time staying at Costambar, the reason is because I love the way it is. Super easy check in, pool always clean and the beach is right in front of the property. The only issue was they are remodeling the furnitures and the old ones are still inside the apartment and over the stairs. Please remove them as soon as possible, Me and my wife love to stay there and definitely coming back.

Old furniture and building (painting on the cieling kept falling down on bed..) 2. Only air condition in the room. (Kitchen and dining room was hot) 3. Old television (looks like 80th...)

I'm not sure about the area. It seemed safe enough. It's right across the street from the beach. And there are restaurants within walking distance, although the one I ate at was a little overpriced. The unit was a 1 bedroom. It was cute. The hot water didn't get warm, so I took a cold shower. I hate cold showers but it did make the heat and humidity a little better. The towels were old and stained and didn't match, which was fine by me, but it seem a little bit ghetto. The bed was old, but not bad. The sheets seemed new, however were very slippery and had come off in the night while I was sleeping. I do toss and turn a lot tho. The AC was good if you close the bedroom door. The curtains were see through, which was weird because the neighbors were trying to peek inside when I first arrived. It was a bit noisy and I often woke up thinking someone was in my room. But overall, not too bad for the very reasonable price. I would probably not stay for more than 1 or 2 nights tho.

The rooms are very clean and the bathroom has been upgraded. Very nice tile throughout. However, the beds and the bedding are terrible. The sheets do not stay on the bed and you find yourself on the bare mattress in the middle of the night. This could easily go from a 2 star hotel to a 3 star with mattress and bedding improvements.

Maybe 3 minutes walk. 4. Basically the gentleman at the office is like a conseir. 5. The apartment furniture is outdated but clean and good condition. Honestly we spend our time in the beautiful beach. 6. Teleferico (go around 3pm after cruise people leave and place is empty), Fort and Amber Museum is less than 2 miles driving or taxi. 7. Friendly and happy retirees galore.

Obviously, the price is fantastic. Front check-in guys whether it be morning or afternoon are both lovely gentlemen. The beds are terribly hard as well as the couch. Definitely need more than two pillows on the bed, Needs to have for as well as an extra blanket would be nice. Although there is a kitchenette, definitely need a little bit more of the basics like a can opener. Another must is drinking water. Even if you had some at the front check-in for purchase. It’s lovely how close to the beach it is as well as some nice restaurants like El Carey. Nice little corner store close to that restaurant to pick up whatever it is you need for great prices.
