    The owner did not greet us it all when arriving. Did not ask if we were doing well during the holiday. No goodmorning, nothing. When we left he also did not say a single word. The daughter was nice and helpful though, but I think when you are the owner you should be more friendly and welcoming to the guests. Therefore I would not go back there again, although it was a nice place. Just did not feel very welcome.

    Very nice accommodation. It has a jungle vibe and I liked the small nature details in the room. Also the breakfast they make is really nice

    Nice place with a swimming pool, good break fast for an extra 6usd, in a quiet area. Super friendly staff, who speaks English.

    There is not enough table in the room and a mini fridge

    the hotel is not located on the main street, so it is quieter. but it's a long walk to the beach, by car is 5 mins. If the room faces the mountain, it is quite quiet; if it faces the road, the sounds of cars may disturb you. very friendly staff, delicious breakfast.

    It is besides the road (so a bit further away from the beach), so you hear this noise all night.

    The staff is friendly and everything looks cute and nice. Really enjoyed our stay, the price is very reasonable

    Only downside was it was a good 20-30 mins walk to restaurants, so ended up driving to eat out

    Lovely family-run boutique hotel, spotlessly clean, nice pool & gardens, serving the most wonderful breakfast! Melanie was very helpful in providing advice and helping us organise an excursion.

    The hotel is quite far from the "city center", i.e. you should use taxi/motoconcho or your car to have the dinner/shop etc., which increases the price of acommodation. We have got the room behind the breakfast place, so we felt a little bit pushed away, seemed as it was the room for staff. The beach is approx 20 min by walk from the hotel. At the time of our visit, the payment terminal was out of order and as we rather did not have much of cash, the online payment and exchange rate cost extra money as well. The price of breakfast is without tax as the price of acommodation.

    The hotel is very nice, clean and maintained (even the swimming pool), with armed security as it is far from the "city center", the staff is very nice, English speaking reception. The breakfast was very tasty, continental type, with the specialty coffee. It is situated to the main road, but it is quiet place anyway - e.g.nice terrace for morning/night yoga. The hotel provides complimentary potable water by the swimming pool. Payment in USD or pesos.

    The sounds from the nearby road were a bit noisy, but understandable because of the location. It was still much more calm than other parts of Las Terrenas. Could be fixed with ear plugs though!

    The place was just as beautiful as the pictures state. The staff were friendly and all of the surroundings clean. The bed was comfortable and air condition was working well. The breakfast was tasty and fresh. Coffee tasted amazing! Room had good lighting and in the bathroom there was warm water and even an European electricity socket (not common in the DR).

    The location is a bit off the central area. But we had a car. The breakfast could be improved, or better included in the price because the price is a bit high for the overall quality. Also, the 2nd day was a bit noisy.

    Top comfort, cozy, beautiful surroundings.

    the only thing was that they charge for air-conditioner which was a little bizarre for me. they should tell people when booking that there is a fee for using the air conditioner

    This is more on me than on the hotel but I was under the impression that it would be more secluded and that there would be more nature surrounding the hotel. However it was right on the road. Luckily at night it gets very quiet and ultimately the location is great and central.

    This beautiful place was spotless! I've rarely been to a place that kept the room and grounds so clean. What I especially loved was the (interior) design and decor of the place. Everywhere you looked it was just so pretty! The room was spacious and beautiful. We only used the ceiling fan and that was more than enough. Breakfast was also delicious!
