Too short, but sometimes shorter don't mean worse.

Is not easy start, because we enjoyed all they offer there , but human quality of Noemi & Jonathan and all the staff, the care they have with the guests, the details and the Nature around, the kitchen and the delicious food (BEST Piña colada 00 alc. ever tasted ) and the sweet dogs (Loba and the old pack) made our days in Samana a one Life experience. If you want enjoy las Terrenas, sun bath and beach lovers should add calm and peace in mornings and evenings in this really special place. I want also mention the good beds, hot showers and delicious breakfast and the impressive green views and songs of tons of birdlife.

All good.

I loved the peaceful location- down an unpaved track , elevated location with far reaching views. The hosts and their team of staff are just very lovely people- there is a sort of old school home away from home feel to the place. The food is just great in that there are plenty of really healthy options- fresh ingredients and home cooked items. They arranged for me to hike with a neighbour- a french lady who has 10 years experience of all the local tracks- on horseback and on foot...it was fabulous. It was great to have hot water and quality towels and bed linen. I really felt very comfortable here as a solo traveller.

This place is great, and we would go back without hesitation. That said, there is not much within walking distance (though walking up and down the road is pleasant, and you can get quite a workout going up and down the hills). The gym could offer more in terms of equipment too, and if many of the rooms are booked, there won't be enough pool furniture (not a problem when we were there). Again, these are all small details - very good place to stay. When you arrive beware the very steep hill - we saw a car get stuck coming up, and our cab had to downshift to make it up.

We loved so many things about this place! Our room, while small, was cozy and very comfortable - good bed, closet space, water pressure, and bathroom. There was plenty of drinking water available, and the shared deck lounge area was wonderful. The owners and all the staff are fantastic - very friendly, interesting to chat with, and kind. Our Spanish is pretty rough, but language was never an issue. In our 4+ day stay, we never left! Very relaxed vibe, the wifi was great, and we loved just hanging out by the pool. The food was AWESOME! We ate every meal there and enjoyed it very much. We basically, saw no reason to leave :) Oh - they have friendly, sweet dogs too - nice bonus!

Nothing really.

I liked that it was very tranquil and serene place. I was able to gaze at the stars on a clear night. It's also very close to Salto de Limon if you wish to visit it.

Location is magnificent and breakfast is awesome.

Everything was perfect. We have no suggestions for improvement.

Our stay at Clave Verde Ecolodge was fantastic. We didn’t know what to expect, but the website looked very promising and the reviews were excellent. We couldn’t agree more! The ecolodge is surrounded by beautiful gardens and the views are spectacular. The room was very clean and comfortable. All meals were prepared with fresh, local ingredients and great care. Clave Verde is a wonderful place to relax, but also very central to explore Samaná. Jonathan, Noemí and their team really know how to make guests feel at home in a short time and they were always available for any questions we had. We already miss our interesting conversations and can’t wait to catch up again!

We were really cold in the room, a blanket would have been really nice.

The location is interesting, you're surrounded by jungle. Breakfast and dinner were really good.

In the middle of the nature and close to the town, designed with care and operated by friendly staff. The restaurant serves fresh and delicious food. We enjoyed our 2 night stay despite rainy weather. Highly recommended 😉

We came back from Clave Verde feeling grateful. We loved waking up to nature sounds, serene surroundings, fresh juices, and healthy, hearty breakfasts. We enjoyed our morning conversations with Jonathan and greatly appreciated Noemi's recommendations for places to go and her arranging our trip to El Limon waterfall. We decided to have our last dinner at Clave Verde's restaurant, and we regretted not doing that every night; the food was exquisite and made with a lot of love; thank you, Sandra, and everyone in the kitchen. Clave Verde is a short drive to most beaches around. It's a great location if you want to enjoy the day trips yet retreat away from the hustle and bustle in the evening. Please note when you arrive, it is a steep drive up the hill; it helps to have the shift on the 1st gear.

I loved perfect views, nature. It's far from town, but quite close to the road, if you want to catch guagua to somewhere. This place is simply excellent!

Fantastic location, very peaceful. Very friendly staff. Beautiful food and drinks in the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. Great to hear about the work being done to make the lodge even more sustainable and eco friendly. Lots of useful local knowledge shared for great beaches/restaurants to visit in the local area. A great place to stay!

Nothing! Maybe I can say that the bath water os very hard to regulate

wonderful place, the perfect ecological break in DR. The experience was maximized by the magnifique restaurant with fair prices. Noemi is the perfect guest and help us gigantly on finding the tour we need. Definitely a place to come back.

Everyone at Clava Verde was extremely friendly and super helpful, even when it came to favors unrelated to something with the stay at the hotel. The food at the restaurant was delicious, from chicken with orange, to pulpo caspaccio, to fresh tuna to vegetable stew. The vista in the middle of the lush forrest was tremendous as well.
