The best experience I’ve had in a resort was at araya. Beautiful views and location, accommodations were so well appointed, grounds were lovely. Very relaxing and peaceful. The infinity pool was one of my favorite places to be. Food was great as was the staff. I look forward to going back. Highly recommend!

This place was absolutely amazing. I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place really blew me away. Every member of the staff was so kind and accommodating. They really go above and beyond with service. They have a full restaurant and bar. The food was seriously some of the best food I’ve ever eaten and they had great vegetarian options. Their gnocchi was handmade and absolutely divine. We were able to get a couples massage at the resort and come back to our room where they had prepared a nice bath on the balcony with flowers. It was really romantic. The rooms were really nice. They have a fantastic showerhead that does rain and waterfall settings. The beds were so comfortable and the view from the room was amazing. At night it was actually quiet and dark. They have security at night so there’s no need to worry about safety. The resort really felt like a home away from home.

A hidden gem in Las Galeras!
I had the chance to visit Araya Hotel this past February with friends, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. The space is stunning, with a breathtaking view and a peaceful, inviting atmosphere. The infinity pool overlooks the ocean and feels like pure magic. We toured the rooms, and they were beautifully designed—spacious, elegant, and full of light. Araya is a warm and quiet escape, perfect for anyone looking to disconnect and soak in the beauty of the Dominican Republic.
