Playa Colibri is a very pretty apartment complex located across a quiet road from one of the nicest stretches of beach in Las Terrenas. Cute, simply furnished units. Some of the 2nd and 3rd floor apartment apartments have views of the ocean and all face a large well-landscaped central garden with pool.

The hotel’s open air restaurant offers a nice buffet breakfast, good lunches and dinner (plus a happy hour perfect for enjoying the sunset). There’re several good restaurants nearby and many more in town (a 15 minute walk or short motorbike ride away). The hotel’s staff are friendly and very helpful.

Reeption staff lack training how to welcome and treat guests. Not a single smile, hello, welcome in three days, not even an acknoednent of the guest as he passes by time and again.
Average breakfast (except a richer one on Sunday), cold service, pricy.
Mosquitos in the room, noisy staff talking throughout the day in loud voice behind the room.

As you walk in for the first time they put an I.d. ribbon around your wrist, take the payment and hand out a list of possible damages to the various keys and remote controls with specific cost of each item. These are the damages, they say, that you would be liable if... Some welcome.

In summary, not a cordial welcome or further interaction with the reception people. The only curious people are the gardeners and maids.
Yet, the garden is beautiful, the nearby beach with its palm groves most charming, the hotel pool is large and clean.

The distance to the beach is perfect (right across the street)
