		<description>Even as natives of the Dominican Republic, we were pleasantly surprised with the simple but wonderful Tubagua Eco Lodge facilities and with the kind attentions of their owners, Tim and Beatrice, his family and his team, which is also part of the family.

The breathtaking view of the north coast, the right balance between simplicity and convenience of facilities, in harmony with nature, the green surroundings and the pleasant climate, create an atmosphere of peace that can not be properly described through words or images. 

Moreover, the delicious and healthy food prepared by Jackie, a beautiful and graceful typical Dominican woman, the excellent support of Juanín in the excursion to the natural pools, the pleasant company of hosts and other guests at the evening gatherings, make the human factor be an important component in our satisfaction with the service received.

If you love nature, stay in Tubagua Eco Lodge is in itself an interesting activity. It is one of the few places where we really enjoyed everything, even literally &quot;do nothing&quot;.

P.S. I forgot to say we got something that was not included in the price, the friendship of Tim and Beatriz ;-)</description>

		<description>Thanks for a fruitful and entertaining few weeks of great views, good food, companionship, and the occasional sip of rum or Presidente.  The Eco Lodge makes a good writing retreat, and I certainly added a few words to my tally.  I shall miss the lizards, butterflies, dogs, always-hungry cats, other weird guests, and not least Tim, the whole Hall/Rollins familia, and the helpful staff.  -- John Oughton</description>

		<description>Thanks to Arturo who goes there every year, he made our day absolutely beyond belief and relaxing.  Tim and his family are all awwesome.  Jackie, you are one fantastic cook.  We did not stay stay the night but would love to do so in the future.  We did not know a place like this even existed.  Heaven on earth.
Again, thanks for your hospitality for the day to all that were there.</description>

LengthStayDays : 3

Location : 100

maincomment : The place to go to escape from urban life and become enthralled with a clean, relaxing paradise.
suggestions : A Tubagua Guide of the area would be nice for future visits. It can point out (really briefly) where the motos go (also how much to pay because I know I had to really bargain to get a fair rate), what to do in certain cities, what to do nearby, which stores to shop at nearby, etc.</description>

		<description>This place is a sanctuary- you are on top of the mountain, surounded by an astonishing view, the food is decadent and fresh/organic, the housing is beautiful and romantic....Tim and his staff are very welcoming and helpful.From hikes to waterfalls or wanting to go horseback riding , Tim will arrange it for you and all for a very affordable price. We loved it so much there ,we got married at Tubagua in April.I think that says it all- it&#039;s magical.</description>

		<description>Tubagua EcoLodge was a welcome escape from the more touristy all inclusive hotel options of the island.  It offers a refuge, a sanctuary, peace, a place for conversation and connection.  The view is spectacular, the surroundings lush and rustic. The food is great and it&#039;s simply special.  A unique and so far undiscovered treasure. In close enough proximity to the beaches and POP airport. Definitely worth the trip! jmc, Washington, DC</description>
