Excellent Family-owned Place

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 17 Jul 2021
This place is very good. Although it is like a shared Villa/hotel, It is very private and secure. The pool is great and although the hotel does not have beach access, the beach is only 3 to 4 minutes away driving. The rooms are very comfortable and Pedro and Melanie make you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in. They are very nice and did everything they could to make us feel at home and happy while we stayed. However, our room had an issue with the AC, it was not working for the 2 nights we were there, but Pedro tried to fix it multiple times. Also, I believe there could be better communication between the security and the guest, and the rules should be made clear to all of the guests to avoid any issues. But other than that, the place is excellent and I would recommend it to anyone looking to visit Las Terrenas.

Beautiful, clean, safe, small and intimate boutique hotel with an excellent personalized service. This little gem is less than a 5 minute drive from Punta Popy Beach. The rooms are very spacious, clean, with comfortable beds, TV with cable, and free Wi-fi is provided. Virginia and Pedro are great hosts, very friendly, welcoming and informative. The grounds are very well kept and there is ample parking space.
There is a US$10 fee for air conditioning, but we did not need it,our room was cool and it had ceiling fans. The breakfast is the best! Pedro you are the best cook ever! Thank you! For only $290 pesos (US$5.50) per person, you get to choose between a sweet or savory breakfast, we chose the savory one, and included: scrambled eggs, tortilla española (spanish tortilla), toast, coffee and milk, bacon, tomatoes, avocado, and your choice of fruit or fruit juice. Yummy!
I would definitely come back, supper recommended!

Beautiful, clean, tranquil property in Las Terrenas. The owner was lovely and helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was delicious and a hefty portion. The only thing is the beach is about a 15-20 minute walk, not ideal for those on foot. I believe the price reflects this and is still worth it.
