“Imagine a secluded, sea view tropical garden retreat at the end of a mountain road with its own organic greenhouse, private chef, and personalized tour guide…”
Crescent Moon Cabins
There are two Caribbean Sea View cabins to choose from or select both for families and couples traveling together.
The Waterlilly Cabin
The Birdwatcher’s Perch Cabin
Both cabins are perched in a rainforest overlooking a botanical paradise down to the sea from 1800 ft. Dramatic sunset views are framed by mountain ridges that are retreats for indigenous parrots, hawks, herons, and hummingbirds. The valley is quiet and secluded. The tastefully designed, solar powered cabin has the comforts of an ensuite hot shower and high speed internet. There is one full sized bed and one single bed. The verandah is spacious with aidorondack chairs and a hammock.
Crescent Moon is for Foodies!
Our meals are prepared from on-site organic harvests as well as local and sustainable sources. From pickling to hot sauces, infused oils and vinegars, sourdough bread, smoked meats, fish, and vegetables, your dinner preparation starts with your reservation. We can cater to any diet with advanced notice.
Dinner is $40 US per person and includes three courses of our freshest farm to table ingredients and homemade bread.
Breakfast is $10 per person and includes daily collections of eggs and fruits, sweet breads, and in-house yogurt, gourmet teas and espresso coffee. Fresh fruits are picked for daily juice choices.
Lunches available by request.
The river access on the property is also available for guests to enjoy.

While we do live on site and are available for any questions or exploring advice, we are respectful of your space and privacy. The cabin, dining room, library, and kitchen are all for your personal use.
We offer free cancellation within 48 hours of reservation. There is a 50% deposit held for cancellations up to a week prior to arrival date and zero refund within a week of arrival date.
The interior is well ventilated and keeps cool and breezy. The full sized and single beds are locally crafted and poised to the outside view. We can also add an extra single for families of four. Each cabin has an in-suite bathroom with a hot and cold shower.
The private enclosed veranda is spacious and relaxed with hammock and lounge chairs. The cabin is set within a luscious garden setting with breathtaking vantages of sunset, moonset, and Caribbean Sea.
The gardens at Crescent Moon showcase a variety of tropical perennials interspersed with fruit bearing trees. Our greenhouse is open for exploration and the goats and chickens also welcome a visit. The temperature at Crescent Moon maintains a year round comfort of warm days and cool nights. There is no issue with mosquitoes as the surrounding nature is well balanced, however, we do have netting available on request.
The library at Crescent Moon is an invaluable source of literature, maps, and Dominican information.
Our property is located only thirty minutes from the capital yet we are considered one of the most peaceful and remote hotels on island. The few residents of River La Croix are mostly farmers and are very welcoming. The trails within the valley are perfect for reflection, site seeing, and fitness. The area has an impressive bird inventory as we are located in the foothills of the rainforest yet offer many attractive flowers. We are very animal friendly and besides the farm friends we also have dogs, cats, turtles, and a fish pond.
