The old town of La Isabela, or Villa Isabela, was the first European settlement in the New World. The town's first inhabitant was Christopher Columbus, who on his second trip to the Americas in 1494 settled here along with 1,500 other inhabitants. Inside the park, you can visit the Archaeological Museum of La Isabela, the first buildings such as the first cemetery, the house of Admiral Christopher Columbus and the way of life of the first European settlers, as well as the Temple of the Americas or Shrine of Jesus Christ the Evangelist. This small church is a beautiful reconstruction built upon its ruins.

Just 10 minutes from the hotel, the Estero Hondo Marine Mammal Sanctuary is a place to visit. This sanctuary is a protected area covering 48.36 km2. It is a very special natural space where multiple marine species are sheltered, among which the Antillean Manatee (Trichechus manatus) stands out. This mammal, known as sea cow, was hunted by the Taino as food and for the mammal's skin. They were the ones who baptized this species "manatee," which means "with mammary glands." The sanctuary demonstrates the importance of conserving natural resources and preserving marine species.
