Хороший отель в джунглях, без пляжа, хороший сервис
Виллы красивые, территория отеля как затерянный город в джунглях. Но пляжа нет, мы не смогли искупаться даже в специальной коралловой обуви (учитывайте это при выборе отеля). Персонал дружелюбный, внимательный, помогают…

Misleading, and not many reviews
We were tricked. We paid attention only to the high rating of this resort, and not the fact that at the time of booking, only 51 reviews were posted since 2016. Thus, very few people actually stay here. Description does…

Loved the peaceful vibe and the villa was gorgeous, but the constant water pressure issues were a bit of a downer
We had a really nice stay at Donatela. The resort is peaceful and private, and our Honeymoon Villa was beautiful, private, spacious, quiet, and surrounded by nature. The private pool was a great bonus too. The staff were…

Questions about Donatela Resort and Sanctuary

What time is check-in and check-out at Donatela Resort and Sanctuary?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Donatela Resort and Sanctuary allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Donatela Resort and Sanctuary?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Donatela Resort and Sanctuary have a pool?

Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Is breakfast included at Donatela Resort and Sanctuary?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does Donatela Resort and Sanctuary have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Can I book a block of rooms at Donatela Resort and Sanctuary?

The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.

Does Donatela Resort and Sanctuary have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Donatela Resort and Sanctuary?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
