Overall Ratings & Reviews Empyrean Portillo Wellness

Beaches spots are very close to the hotel !!! friendly Staff!!

This is part of a gated community that have access to one of the best beautiful beaches in the area just 5 min walking in private roads. Highly recommend

Excelente staff., keep up the good work.

The property was very beautiful, relaxing, calming, and quiet if you’re looking for a place to relax at the spending all day at the beach this is the place for you. The staff was very nice.

Supero mis expectativas! Excelentemente recomendable. Buen ambiente, acogedor, excelente servicio, super limpio. Me encantó que tiene restaurante dentro de sus instalaciones.

Great place to stay.

This hotel is small gem nestled in quiet community of private homes. Close enough for to main drag ( 5 min by car) but far enough that you don’t hear with noices of late night partygoers. We have stayed at 4 other properties in area and think we found our new home. We booked master suite and while layout is interesting it works nicely. There are 2 separate rooms. The bathroom located off the full living area. For us this was great, i had area to work and be on calls and my husband could work in bedroom. We enjoyed the pool which is compact but even on sold out night. Was never crowded. Probably because less than 5 minutes by foot you arrive at secluded beach( and yes, they deliver drinks and food to you !). The included breakfast is was hearty and there was ton of inexpensive add on like avocado and breakfast meats. Overall for people looking disconnect but still want TV and wifi and ond someone else to the cooking. Its perfect. We will definitely be back

We only spent one night but were very pleased with our experience. Although the room is somewhat small, it was very clean and convenient. The only drawback was that the restaurant did not have everything listed on the menu. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. The beach close to the property is beautiful and very safe, since the hotel is located in a private neighborhood.

As there weren’t many reviews, I wasn’t completely sure what to expect. The hotel is brand new very lovely. The rooms were extremely clean. POOL/BEACH: The pool is nice and heated, though on the smaller side. One odd thing is, there is only beanbag chairs, no loungers or umbrellas for shade by the pool. Though, we didn’t mind, because the beachfront is really exceptional. They have loungers and Adirondack chairs stacked up, so it’s a bit of a DIY set up at the beach, But it is absolutely stunning, one of the most beautiful beaches in Samana and far off the road so there is no traffic noise unlike Las Terrenas and Las Bellenas. There are not many people around aise from folks walking from the resort that’s about a quarter of a mile away. This is one of the best aspects of the hotel. LOCATION: Location is about 10 to 15 minute drive from the center of town ~$10 taxi, 300 peso moto or 75 peso colectivo. It is very convenient if you rent your own car or moto, but not convenient if you plan on walking. Food: breakfast included eggs, toast, fruit, juice, and coffee with extras available. We tried the fish filet for lunch our first day and found it small and underwhelming so we ate lunches elsewhere.

Absolutely happy with my choice to stay here. Gated community with 24hr security, private beach just a short walk away, and the hotel restaurant serves delicious food and great drinks. You literally don't have to leave anywhere (except for food when restaurant is closed or snacks). Rooms were clean and new. Only thing, the shower had a really slow drain (even after service with plunger). Very close to Salto Limon and Las Terrenas restaurants. Great staff and always with a smile, especially Ashley and Ismael. I will be returning again. Side note, pay attention to entrance signs. Easy to miss entrance.

It’s a nice place to spend a calm weekend, the beach is close (10-12 min walking from the spot). The staff is friendly and attentive. I would be even better if they had more personnel so the service could be faster.

Staff so nice and courteous. Good breakfast and beach is walkable from the hotel.

Nice

Amazing property! Staff were helpful and always available. The pool, breakfast and location were amazing. The beds were so comfortable and we slept well. Our family was taken care of and we felt like we were the only ones at the property. Thank you Alondra!

super nice people. cordial. NOTHING but positive vibes. i got a wonderful massage which was awesome on the property. i had a car which was useful as Las Terrenas has lots of nice beaches in driving BUT NOT walking distance!! First class operation. THANKYOU.

Very peaceful, two minute walk on a tree covered path to a beautiful beach. All amenities. Wonderful owners and staff. Great breakfast with excellent coffee and a well stocked refrigerator. Ambiance is wonderful. Calmness for the mind and body. The hotel is only a few month old. Apple maps send us to an incorrect location nearby. Google send us to the correct location. The main entrance is around the corner. It has an attended gate.

Bonito lugar sobre todo muy limpio

Amazing stay. Incredible boutique hotel. Really well finished, very comfortable and relaxing. Amazing service from the very friendly staff, they all went above and beyond. Great food choices. Slightly out of town, a car or quad is needed but they arranged the delivery of a quad for us when we first arrived and it was there within a couple of hours. A 2 min walk to a very beautiful beach and there’s a bodega in the opposite direction. Would happily live here if I could. Highly reccomend

Todo estuvo bien excepto que el muchacho de recepción entró a mi habitación cuando me encontraba sola, sin razón alguna ni tocar la puerta. Yo acababa de salir de bañarme cuando escucho que abren la puerta y cuando él me vio salió asustado. No sé qué buscaba. Decidí reportarlo y muy amablemente el del bar y el de seguridad me atendieron. El día después decidí dar la queja a la gerente y su única respuesta fue “no sé qué decir”. Pienso que como gerente debió tomar cartas sobre el asunto. Quien unico puede entrar a la habitación siempre y cuando toquen la puerta es la de limpieza. ¿Cómo me voy a sentir segura en ese lugar?

Es un lugar muy chulo y acogedor, para estar en parejas . La Paz y tranquilidad que se siente es única, lo único que el lugar para desayunarse pudiera ser un poco más grande porque en la mañana no caben los huéspedes.
