Reviews of Club Hemingway
A dream come true!!
We had our wedding in the beach and the dinner in the Embarcadero, we were able to see the sunset meeting the sea... it was just magic.
The food was an experience, several of our guest told us that it was one of the best dinners they ever had. The chef, ALberto Martin, played with our preferences and created something completely unique that it was able to exceed our expectations.
Thank you so much, all the team was super professional, kind and proactive. I really appreciated your good disposition and flexibility towards me and my guests, making our day just beyond what we imagined and hoped for.
Wedding in Casa Hemingway
Casa Hemingway had everything we were looking for our multicultural/ international wedding: state of the art facilities in one of the few boutique hotels you can find in the Dominican Republic, extremely friendly and professional staff, great food and good connection to the main airports. It was also one -if not the best- value for money options out there.
After looking at other options in La Romana and Punta Cana -where the hub of tourism/ other known places for weddings like Casa de Campo are-, we decided that Juan Dolio -the place where tourism started in the east for some historical background!- was our best bet. Getting to work with Mari Medina, the wedding coordinator of the place, who was fully bilingual -which was of great help as my husband's Spanish is still work in progress-, always available to help us with every detail, extremely patient and resourceful, sealed the deal.
Our wedding could not have been more perfect. We were very lucky to have our friends and my husbands' family coming from Germany, London and the USA. Everyone who stayed in the hotel had great things to say about it, including the -very demanding- older generation of my Dominican family!
We had a massive downpour the night of the wedding right at the time of the dinner time -which was meant to be outside-. When this happened, the staff was quick to work on the plan B, and re-route the guests to the inside lobby. The waiters and moving staff went out of their way and even got soaked to move everything inside as fast as possible. Within an hour, we were all eating in the very nice terrace, with the benefit of having had a few more extra drinks while waiting, which made everything just a bit more fun.
I have only good things to say about Casa Hemingway. I had a dream wedding and much of it was thanks to the wonderful staff at the hotel. My only complain is that if all goes well with my wonderful husband, I won't be able to have another wedding at Casa Hemingway!
Simplemente excelente!!!
El servicio es excelente. Mari es una persona super atenta, ofrece un sercicio al cliente de calidad superior. Es responsable, dinámica y muy cooperadora, en todo momento busca que las personas se sientan muy especiales.
