A2 Florisel – Perfect & Cozy Apartment on the Beach

Hana’s apartment was wonderful! Very nicely decorated with all the amenities you need, comfortable and with a nice balcony. The complex it is located in is very cute and lush, right on the beach (only a 1 min walk to the beautiful los Corales Beach from the actual apartment).The Soles bar and restaurant is literally right bedside the complex and there are private umbrellas and lawn chairs for those staying at the complex. We felt very safe and very happy with our decision to stay here. Gricel who helped us check in the also very accommodating, friendly and helpful. I would recommend this apartment to everyone and I would suggest staying a while not just a night like us.

Los apartamentos estan ubicados en un lugar excelente. Son preciosos y tienen todo para que la estadia sea placentera. Salida a la playa directa y super cuidada. Cerca puexen encontrar mercados, farmaciaz y lugares para comer. Sin lugar que volveriamos a hospedarnos aqui en un tiempo.

This place is neat and comfortable and in a great location. Right by the beach. Only reason I’m giving it a 4 star rating is that the water was too hard (salty). May be the water supply in that region is like that only. Otherwise the place is bang for the buck. Caretaker Gricel was responsive to all queries and any help needed.

This was an amazing 5 Star experience. We had someone meet us at the airport and drive us there, (for a 35$ charge) so check in was super easy and convenient. It looks exactly like the photos that are provided. Very clean and spacious. Like most places in the area electricity if you go over 2$ a day you are charged for. We used the air conditioning at night time or when we were in the apartment and it cools the house off very quickly so it’s not needed otherwise. Our total was about 10$ for the electricity so not bad! The apartment is in a gated area so you feel very safe. You are steps from the beach and It felt like a movie when you walk out the pathway onto the beach. Bed was very comfy. The shower was very tough to regulate it was either hot or cold but it wasn’t that big of a deal to us. If you stay a week they come once to clean the place and they change towels every other day which was perfect! You do buy your own toilet paper and that sort of stuff but there is a market 5 min walk away as well as many places to eat (Some better than others) our favorite was a place called cats corner that had drinks and some good food! we rented a moped from some guy on the street which was awesome cause we could see more of the town so if you are adventurous do that! The only ATM is about a 8 min drive away so I would recommend if you wont have a rental car or moped to take cash out before because most things are in cash. We also noticed that if you pay in US dollars they charge you more than if you pay with pesos so get you money changed to pesos if you don’t want to be overcharged. Hana was always available if we needed anything and he set up our excursion for us to Catalina island which I highly recommend! The only negative thing was there were a lot of people on the beach trying to sell you stuff and excursions but that seemed like it was the case for most of the beaches and places in Bavaro. As long as you just say no gracias and seem uninterested they will stop bothering you!

Apartamentos Florisel is a wonderful place to stay! It is clean and spacious, comfortable bed and pillows and they start you off with basic amenities like coffee, soap, shampoo etc. The location is great with lots different restaurants and shops within walking distance. The beach is right in front of apartments with lounge chairs available to use. Gricel is a wonderful manager and responds immediately! Highly recommend this place!

The customer service that is provided is absolutely amazing. Gricel was our contact and she answered every question we had and called taxis for us when we needed them. The apartment was a decent size for two people with a little patio to sit on. There was a washer on the roof that we were able to use which was nice because we stayed for two weeks. The apartment comes with dishes and cookware to make food. Wifi works well for browsing and Netflix though it's not that great for (Hidden by Airbnb) video calls. Small markets, a pharmacy and a few restaurants are a eight minute walk from the complex. A larger market, Jumbo, is a fifteen minute cab ride away. The nearest ATM is a 20 minute walk away, so be sure to take out money at the airport. The beach is a short walk through the complex. Lounge chairs and towels are provided. Be wary that locals on the beach and outside the complex will harass you to purchase rides, photos with animals, or gifts. Some will listen to "No Gracias" and leave you alone but there were a few times we had to be really firm. It's a tough situation, you don't want to come across rude but it's not a relaxing atmosphere when they keep bothering you to buy things. It's unavoidable so people with thin skin beware. If you are staying for a lengthy period of time, know that you must keep all food in the fridge as bugs will definitely get into the apartment and into your food. If you are staying for a short trip, the restaurant JOY is a five minute walk away and has wonderful staff and great food. There is also a steak house near Joy that is good. You cannot drink the water in the DR but water cooler bottles are provided in the apartment for $2 a bottle and there is a water cooler in the apartment. All things said, the communication, staff, amenities and complex are lovely. Thanks again to Gricel, Bernardo and the cleaning staff for being such wonderful hosts and so very, very helpful!

I would highly recommend this place.

Merci à Gricel, Hanna, Bernardo et toute leur équipe pour l'accueil et la qualité des services proposés et aussi pour leur gentillesse, tout le monde était toujours souriant et aimable ! Nous recommandons ce petit coin de paradis face à la mer. Toutes le photos du site sont conformes et le jardin est un véritable petit paradis que vous traversez tous les jours pour aller sur la plage qui est ) quelques mètres. Chaises longues et parasols sur la plage. Vivement recommandé pour des vacances de rêve ! Merci

I enjoyed having an apartment right on the beach! It is s a small one bedroom apartment right on the beach basically in a secure safe area. The kitchen is nice if you would like to prepare meals in instead of going out. It was hot and muggy but this is to be expected in mid summer however the weather was still nice for the beach or pool. Just be aware you will have to pay a little extra for electricity! I did use the Air Conditioning sparingly even though it was hot and muggy most of the time which is to be expected for the time of year. The apartment was good value compared to what you would pay at an all inclusive resort and this way you get to experience Punta Cana in a different way if you will and interact with local people and the culture. The apartment was clean and tidy. I did get mosquito bites and had a natural mosquito repellant which only helped a little bit. I did not have this issue other places I stayed in the Dominican Republic so it could have just been that area and it was right off the beach and I used the Air conditioning sparingly! Overall I had a nice stay and would recommend Hana's Apartementos Florisel to anyone looking for a different experience in the Punta Cana area and away from the all inclusive resort stuff and something more authentic and affordable!

It was a really nice appartement close to the beach. The owners were available all thr time and really friendly. All our questions were answered fast. Also there were some nice restaurants and a good supermarket near the appartement. We had a beautiful week and enjoyed our stay.
