Spent two nights there last Dec 25/26 2006. It was a small room (but we were happy to get anything without a reservation). The pool area is clean, plain. I noted in my journal - worn sheets. I think the restaurant was decent for the one dinner we had. I liked being close to the fish stands for another dinner. There seemed to be a mixed crowd - couples, non-DR families.
If the construction noise isn't too bad, I recommend the El Candil. However they have few $40 rooms. I have stayed at Costalunga a few times. We were at El Caucho because both of those were full.
I have also checked out El Neptune - further from beach (what is the beach like on the other side of the Hamaca - does anyone know?), but looked tranquilo.
