I recently enjoyed a lovely 4-night stay at El Ben Cabanas, which was a perfect mix of peace and adventure. The staff, especially Murlie and Mr. Papi, provided really good service, making my experience nice. However, the mosquito situation was a bit rough, and the restaurant could use more variety on the menu.

This spot was great! Just a short 5-minute walk to the split. I loved being in a quiet area that was away from any loud parties, yet still close enough to explore the island.

Dining

The restaurant's location was nice, but honestly, the food was just okay. It could really benefit from a more diverse menu, as the options felt limited.

El Ben has its own dock, which is super convenient for tours. I appreciated having access to kayaks, even though I didn't use them due to the bugs. But the pool area was a lovely spot to relax when it was calm.

My stay at El Ben Cabanas was nearly perfect! The staff was incredibly helpful, and I really appreciated their commitment to making my visit special. However, the only downside was that the bathroom lights weren't fully enclosed, which could disturb others at night. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. 🌴
