We have stayed at Marilar before and enjoyed it so much we had to go back.

We arrived late from the drive over from Puerto Plata airport but Julie was still waiting for us and greeted us with a smile. We were on top floor #10 this time (thank you Luca!) and the view of Playa Ballenas is amazing!

Our rental car wouldn't start after we got there but Julie hooked us up with a motoconcho for runs into town the next morning and Ines let us call back to Avis on the office phone to arrange for another vehicle because Verizon (our American carrier) messed up the international calling arrangements. Just wonderful, helpful staff where our personal problems were taken care of.

Every room has a terrace facing the playa with tile floors throughout. Air conditioned, ceiling fans, king size bed and safe for passports & money. Granite countertops in the kitchen with all the plates, glasses, cups, pots & pans and a coffee maker. Tiled bathroom and walk-in shower, just a beautiful place.

When we are in Las Terrenas it is the only place we will stay. An intimate spot just far enough away to be quiet at night but still close enough to walk the beach to Pueblo de los Pescadores if so inclined.

Thanks again to Luca, Ines, Julie, Luigi and of course Ronaldo who kept our tummies full on the playa with whatever food we wanted & Presidente's!

I do alot of reviews for las terrenas on trip advisor have been to las terrenas twice for a total for 4 weeks. My in laws have been travelling to the area for 6 years. We have been to many of the hotels checking rates and what they have to offer. This hotel put us in a situation were we had to walk away and stay somewhere else. They put us in a room which i believe was less the cost of the room in which we thought we were staying in. They did offer us to switch into the room we wanted in the first place(which we looked at the year prior) at first after 6 nights of staying in the room we didnt want and when we said no beuno they change it to the next day but didnt want to refund us for the time stayed in a smaller room that i believe cost less. It was a terrible start to the vacation and we walked away and stayed somewhere else. Some of the rooms they offer are beautiful and the side of the beach they are on is quieter and nice. But as for cost and costomer service i found that they were terrible and i believe they have lost touch with the reality that the costomer is right. I feel that there arrogance and the manner in which they did business with us made them feel like they had the upper hand and it was you do it our way or lose the money which we had invested in our vacation which we did. Ultimately it is your decision wether you choose to stay here or not and i had to learn the hardway. All i can say in the end is i know there are alot of better deals in las terrenas for people that are staying long term and i hope you dont make the same mistake my family and i did.
