We were there recently. Highly recommended. The rooms are enormous, imaginatively decorated and sleep up to six. It is clean and what you'd expect from a rural eco-lodge type hotel in terms of comfort.
As it was January it got quite cold at night. The food wasn't gourmet but there was a decent amount of choice on the menu. The Los Haitises excursion was well worth it and the guide was by far the best we've met - name of Rafael - who also works at the hotel. The road there is quite bad, especially the last 12 kms from Sabana de la Mar.

I had some photos lined up for my next blog entry but here is a preview:
