It's a nice stay

There's delicious breakfast every morning. We were also able to rent quads and scooters from the hotel which was really nice. The room was clean and staff were nice! The pool was really nice too. The front-desk staff was also very friendly, they called taxis for us. There's also a cold water dispenser outside on every floor which we really appreciate.

Overall good, but could be more friendly

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

Totally worthy to stay

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).

Run if you are not deaf

We originally booked 4 nights and left after one due to the poor isolation of the rooms. The hotel is located on a very noisy road (cars, bikes but also trucks going on the many construction sites in Las terrenas and honking no matter what the hour is). In addition, the generator started in the middle of the night, keeping us awake for a considerable amount of time (imagine a lawnmower in your room). As a result, we slept approximately 2hours and decided to leave at the first possible occasion. These were the last nights we were spending in Dominican Republic and did not wanted to suffer sleep deprivation before going back to our country (holidays are meant to rest, aren’t they?). We left for another hotel (Casa colibri), indeed a bit more expensive but directly on the beach (in comparison to balata that is far away from the restaurants and beach) and in a very calm area. Note that it is not possible to cook at Balata, and there are no restaurant in or near the hotel. We paid 3 nights for nothing but were really not keen to reiterate the experience of the first night. When we announced that we were leaving, the staff did not really seem to care

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.
