    N/A, all is perfect

    I stay frequently at Mosquito, it never fails to disappoint! Staff are wonderful and friendly, there’s a chill vibe until the weekend when it turns into a party scene, which is what we love but might not be for everyone. This trip the DJ, JAY, was fantastic, so serious about the music and vibe, a total pro. I will be going back in a couple of weeks and hope for a repeat of the perfection of my visit a week ago, priceless time with my young adult kiddos. I always meet the coolest people there, it’s a very diverse international crowd which I love. Also there’s a market of vendors of lovely handmade local products on the weekends, so cool to support the locals!

    The bed was not that comfortable.

    The garden is a beautiful space to relax, enjoy good food and drinks, also the beach was great and during the night the ambiance is great.

    Great location, nice rooms, good vibes when DJ is there :)

    Breakfast very basic with uninterested staff, alltogether the F&B staff was quite demotivated with couple of exceptions (two off them and the bartenders where great). The manager was just walking by with serious face and only engaging with his friends and apparent VIP guests. Pity because prices are quite high in comparison to other places in the area, and maybe if you motivate the team who is working there it could be more pleasant to order drinks and food without having the feeling you are annoying them even though you are a paying customer.

    The property itself is amazing. Nice rooms, great location, beautiful garden and lounge area right on the beach with sunchairs, loungers, beanbags, shower and everything you need to relax all day. Reception staff amazing, always happy to help with good speaking English. Restaurant food and drinks although on an expensive side, very good and tasty. Wifi ok, but when a lot of people there works a bit slow, but when on holiday maybe it should not bother you ;)

    Could take a while for warm water int he shower and the door to our room was difficult to open and close.

    I was hesitant to book a hotel called The Mosquito but while traveling in the DR I learned it's a very upmarket brand of local hotel, restaurants, and bars. Sure enough I saw other Mosquito properties in Santo Domingo and Las Terrenas. All are tastefully designed and have fantastic food, cocktails, and service. El Mosquito in Playa Bonita has a laidback bohemian vibe, perfect for low key beach goers who are happy to lounge on soft cushy poofs and day beds while working on their tan in front of a fantastic surfing beach. My friend and I took surf lessons, easy to arrange at the hotel and were able to stand up and surf after just a few minutes in the calmer section of the bay a short walk down the beach from the hotel. If you are more experienced you can surf right in front of the hotel. The water is a stunning aqua and felt like a bathtub (84 degrees F in Feb). There is a lovely walking path that connects several properties and beaches if you like to take long strolls- you can go for miles along the the sand. We saw rainbows on 2 different mornings. The complimentary buffet breakfast included an omelette station, oatmeal, cereals, breads, and fresh fruit. The bar and restaurant were fantastic with unique Peruvian offerings to try. There were many European travelers and a few families with young children also staying at the hotel. There was a little mini fridge in our room and a 5 min walk away there was a pharmacy if you needed to buy anything. Probably about 15 min drive from downtown Las Terrenas if you wanted to go out to dinner somewhere different. Only 3-4 options along the stretch to walk to on Playa Bonita.

    Constant music. It's OK in the afternoon, but around sunset, when eating dinner, and at night it would be nice to just listen to the sound of the waves instead of the forced entertainment.

    Great location, great beach (nice mix of big waves in front of the hotel, and no waves a 5 minute walk east), excellent food, good drinks, nice room. Amazing stay overall.

    All in all a great location and safe stay, just could do without the incredibly loud music continuin

    • Budget Double Room

    The Corona Beer sponsored music venue each night was incredibly loud and was not the "vibe" we wanted for the grandkids. The music was overbearingly loud, and the influx of young "influencers" and "pretty boys" was not particularly comfortable. Their arrival also jammed up the parking lot so we had limited parking options upon return from a trip into town one evening.

    The Mosquito Hotel is quite nice for a beachy basic location. The food at the restaurant was decent and the buffet breakfast was good, the grandkids liked the variety and fresh food. The location is safe and the adjacent beach provided hours of entertainment and exercise. It is safe to swim and surf right in front of the hotel.

    Everything was perfect

    I recently had the most enchanting stay at the mosquito hotel in Las Terrenas. The atmosphere was infused with an unexplainable energy, creating a serene and relaxing ambiance. The staff, led by the exceptional manager Michele, provided unparalleled hospitality, making me feel truly at home. This experience was so memorable that I'm certain I'll be returning for another delightful stay.
