Natura Cabana Boutique Hotel & Spa by Mint arvostelua

This was our mini honeymoon my husband and I took before we left the Dominican Republic and we had the best time at Natura Cabana! So thankful to the whole team for providing a great experience. We loved the pool, spa, and took advantage of the yoga classes and free breakfast!

My husband and I just had our wedding at Natura Cabana earlier this month and would like to warn people about the issues you may experience if you choose to have your wedding at this location. Although it is a beautiful location we unfortunately had a very negative experience leading up to the wedding and during. Food poisoning for 21/26 guests At around 3pm on the day of the wedding shortly after lunch, one of our guests started to feel unwell and was not able to attend our wedding dinner. Shortly after dinner several other guests followed. Our wedding reception resulted in the majority of our guests dropping like flies from violent nonstop diarrhea and vomiting. This was extremely disappointing as all of these people had flown in for the weekend to celebrate with us and instead of being able to drink, celebrate and dance together by 10pm there were only 6 people left standing with the 7 late night pizzas we ordered being untouched and handed out to staff to take home with them instead. As none of the guests had left the Natura grounds this had to have been caused by the food we were served by Natura. When we raised the concern the next morning to the Natura staff and the wedding planner they took no accountability, offered no apology and even accused us of lying. My husband and I were extremely disappointed that all of our guests were unwell, some even needing to go to the hospital once back in Canada after not recovering after over a week. This event unfortunately ruined our wedding weekend as guests were still too unwell to eat brunch the next day. The bunch also cost $35usd per person- a complete rip off with only a few fingers foods being served. Breakfast for guests is included for all guests at Natura but we were told if we paid extra for this wedding brunch it would be extremely elaborate & fancy with lots of food and options which was not the case at all - stick with the free breakfast it will keep your guests full and the brunch is a complete scam. However, based on what I noted above I wouldn’t suggest eating here. The wedding planner nightmare: The wedding planner does not live in the country so will not be there on your wedding day and was not around to give us a tour of the location before we booked the wedding. She works remotely and is often unresponsive having to follow up after every question or request before hearing back. The wedding planner, was frustrating and tiresome to work with. From the beginning my husband and I were very involved and detailed with our vision for our wedding at Natura Cabana. Our first contact with the wedding planner happened 12 months before we arrived for our wedding yet the wedding planner continuously requested the same details we had provided well in advance during the very last weeks leading up to the wedding causing us undo stress, lack of trust in their ability and inability to deliver our vision for our wedding weekend. We had to instigate multiple meetings with our wedding planner to e

If you want a real Dominican experience, this is not the place. Beach is great but it seems to be a place to get away from Dominicans and do yoga while eating bland food. On top of that, I was woken up at 7am by the yoga/palates instructor yelling "1-2-3 woo-hoo! Good job!" Bc the cabins have no windows and a net for a roof. No bueno. Location it's beautiful but this is on an HOA street where it seems there's only Europeans. I came for Dominican culture and food. I could've went in Malibu/Cali for this. Going from a private villa for our wedding with real Dominican food to this was definitely a downgrade. I don't recommend.

Lovely place! Natura Cabana was perfect! Excellent food, steps from the beach, staff were lovely, massage was great - what more could you need? In particular, Victor went above and beyond and helped my wife get her AirPods back after we had left for another hotel in a different part of the island. We will definitely return!

Our stay at the property was out of this world. We had such an amazing time. The food was good, only hiccup was dinner. They try to create an American style menu which is okay, but would have preferred more local cuisines. Staff was friendly, beach was beautiful and secluded. Our room was very clean and I have to say the design was great. I am looking forward to going back with my kids since this time was a couple trip. Thank you having us. One last thing, we did a romantic dinner on the beach. Very impressed with the attention, candle lights and service. Highly recommend trying it.

The staff is the absolute best! Quiet, serene and gorgeous!

Beautiful Eco Resort on a stunning beachfront property. The Cabanas are nicely kept and furnished with all the comforts of home. Refreshing pool and shady sitting areas surrounding. Loved the Yoga studio with ocean views and the spa treatments were very relaxing. The two restaurants serve delicious, healthy meals with several options available. The Smoothies are a must-have! The ocean is soothing with the rolling waves, but when we were there it really was not safe for swimming. I went in and had a very hard time getting out due to the undertow and heavy waves. This is the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway in nature. Also, great for families and large groups as the Cabanas hold several people.

Heavenly Cabarete I just spent two weeks at this amazing little boutique hotel. The beach is very private and calming. The reception/ management staff are extremely helpful and the food is terrific here.

Family vacations Very good location for quiet and comfortable stay. Not many small bungalows on quite big land. Good breakfast with nice ocean view. You can see that the owners care about quality. Super friendly service. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We recommend.

If you are looking for a quiet, intimate place, with a lovely connection between a tropical forest and a beach, this is the place.

The quietness, peacefulness friendly staff, eco friendly

Rustic setting, nice natural accommodations. Rooms are a bit uncomfortable during hot days due to lack of a/c. There are no TVs. Some of the restaurant staff are not too friendly. Some are very nice and professional. If you are into yoga, nature and don’t mind not having a/c and tv, it’s fine.

We went as a a family group with wife, son, and wife and 3 year old grandaughter for 7 days. The cabin we stayed at was adjoined with kitchenette raised "porch" between the cabins. Beautiful large rooms with all stone bathrooms, fully air conditioned and fans. The whole grounds was really an eco-resort with their own gardens for the meals, right on their own beach and a quarter mile away an a path is a long 2 mile deserted beach. The different cabins were well spaced apart with nice privacy and the grounds were well cared for every day with maintenance. The best part was the meals. Every morning fresh fruit with a wide options of addtional dishes. The dinners included fresh vegetables and fish or meat with good variety for eating there every day. The staff were wonderful and friendly, enjoyed helping the 3-year old learn some Spanish words. The front desk helped arrange local treats like diving, snorkeling, horse back riding (on the beach). Would highly recommend for any family vacation.

The hotel is inside a gated community which felt very safe. It was on the beach which was beautiful. I stayed with my family at the beginning or the low season it wasn’t crowded at all which was wonderful. The restaurant food and staff were amazing, the hotel concierge were super nice and friendly. The spa girl was great. The rooms were clean and near and beautiful. Some helpful tools for future guests would be to bring your own toiletries and plenty of bug spray. Even with the mosquito nets provided my daughter, my parents and myself got bit up pretty good by mosquitoes which could’ve easily been prevented if we came prepared. My parents’ only qualm was that they would’ve preferred a chair in the room to sit for miscellaneous reasons, like after their shower a place to sit to put on their shoes or whatnot-but the bed is the only place to sit or lay in the room. The entrance seating area is beyond beautiful with the hammock. Just minor quirks but beautiful place nonetheless.
