Address: Bayahibe, Dominican Republic, Caribbean
Tucked on the coast, the Coral Canoa couldnt have a more idyllic location if it tried. Think gently swaying coconut palms. Translucent turquoise seas And brilliant white sands. Now picture yourself there, shades on, a sarong tied around your waist as you kick off your flip flops and sink your toes into eiderdown-soft sand. Just wonderful. Sunshine and sand aside, theres plenty going on down on the beach to keep you entertained, too. Kayaks, windsurfing, snorkelling - theres so much to choose from. And that goes for dining as well. Pile your plate at the La Piragua buffet, sink your teeth into a flame-gilled steak at the Santa Fe grill and sprinkle parmesan on a steaming plate of spaghetti at the Rigolleto Pasta Club. And if youre worried about the calories, join in with some of the activities on offer – from badminton to yoga, from volleyball to the gym, theres lots of ways to stay in shape. If all that sounds a bit too much like hard work, make a beeline for the pool. Cocooned by palm trees and surrounded by thatched roofed bars, the lagoon-like pool is a tropical oasis of calm – perfect for some lazy days in the sun. Simply pull up a lounger, unfurl a towel and settle back for some quality chill out time. So facilities and location-wise, this hotel gets a big tick. But what about the accommodation? Well, this is a Hilton hotel and so attention to detail are the watchwords here. As such the rooms boast king-size beds or two doubles and are kitted out with all mod cons like coffee-making facilities, satellite TVs and fridges. Plus theyve got air-conditioning so you can be guaranteed a cool nights sleep. All in all a lovely hotel offering up a wealth of facilities thats right on the beachfront. |
