Welcome to Ranch8 (Rancho Manuel) DR which is a 16 minute ride to 3 nearby beaches! This area is stress-free and all neighbors are like family. This small town has less than 500 residents but welcomes foreigners on a daily basis for close access to some of DR’s best beaches. The host Celeste is bi-lingual and has been renting to locals for sometime and all have loved their stay. We are MINUTES away from La Ensenada, Punta Rucia, Playa Aya beaches. Your beach-themed stay includes a private bath! Ranch8 is beach-themed unique hotel that is situated in the small town of Rancho Manuel of the Puerto Plata Dominican province. It is a small hotel consisting of many rooms such as this one, some with private baths and some without. This part of town is very quiet, peaceful, with not really anyone around to bother, unlike the big cities. Many stay for nearby contractor work, quick access to the beach or simply, a relaxing stay on the rural part of the country-immersing themselves in the local culture. This space in particular is very big with lots of closet and floor space for those coming with lots of outfits and wanting to spread. There are many outlets throughout the room for you and your guests to plug in any standard devices. Ranch8 is located just minutes away from some nearby beaches known as La Ensenada which welcomes many tourists daily, Punta Rucia which is just down the street, and Playa Aya (my favorite). Each beach has its own unique ambience tailored to suit any type of mood you are in. Everyone is very friendly, especially around the property. If you ever have any questions, even throughout your stay, do not hesitate to reach out and we’ll be sure your stay is phenomenal.
