Located on the glimmering beaches of the north coast, Casa Colonial Beach & Spa was created by entrepreneur Don Isidro Garcia and opened in December 2004 as the first luxury property in Puerto Plata.  Designed by Mr. Garcia’s daughter and renowned architect, Sarah Garcia, Casa Colonial Beach & Spa was fashioned as a home or “casa” and exudes classic Dominican plantation estate allure.  The property was the first member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World in the Dominican Republic.

The Spanish colonial-inspired lobby features high ceilings, limestone floors, elegant furnishings in rich woods and sheer cotton draperies.  The resort’s 50 spacious guestrooms and suites include private terraces with views of the ocean or the property’s tropical gardens, some with large outdoor soaking tubs.  Each guestroom is exquisitely decorated with mahogany furniture, custom-designed Caribbean furnishings, original paintings reflecting Dominican architecture, comfortable seating areas, flat screen televisions, Italian marble baths, fine linens and double Presidential Suite Soft mattresses specially created for the resort by Serta offering the “best sleep in the Caribbean.”  

In addition to the impeccable design and décor, the hotel features two dining venues and bar, including upscale Lucia Restaurant, the state-of-the-art Bagua Spa featuring indigenous treatments, fitness center, room service, meeting room, wedding pavilion and private transfer to the 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Sr. golf course.  Guests can enjoy stunning views of the ocean from the extraordinary third floor rooftop Infinity pool, featuring four Jacuzzi pools and a teak deck with chaise lounges and bar.
