Great experience!

We were very pleased with our stay at Hotel La Tortuga. The service was excellent. We were greeted with a delicious fruit juice. We arrived at the hotel at 2:00 p.m., and they let us check in anyway. We loved the breakfast; you can choose between eggs or pancakes. It includes a fruit cocktail, natural juice, coffee, and bread. There are a wide variety of restaurants and spectacular beaches around Las Terrenas. I recommend Punta Popi Beach... We would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful oasis in a great beach town

La Tortuga is an amazing place to relax! We booked here because we had booked a house in another town and our host canceled. We were so glad they did! We wished we could have stayed longer. The staff was amazing right from check-in, when we were welcomed with a drink (fresh fruit juice). The pool was very nice and located next to the very chic and very relaxed restaurant/bar (think lounge music and attentive but unobtrusive service). The beds were comfortable and the A/C worked well. The hotel is a short walk to the beach (~3-5 minutes) but set back enough that it’s quiet and peaceful; we fell asleep to the sound of frogs and never heard our neighbors. The bungalow-style rooms feel secluded and private. We drove an out of the way of our original plan to stay here and did not have a ton of time, so we ate dinner on the beach and didn’t try the restaurant food. We did try the bar, which was excellent.

The gardens and pool are lovely and well maintianed. The staff are kind and learning hospitality. The owner is working on upgrades and a new lounge is coming which is needed. Location is great. Quiet -which was nice. The room- was OK, would like a screen on the patio door so you could keep it open and not need the A/C. The sitting area outside of the room area is and not comfortable. The bed was OK. Shower great. A/C - we did not use. Enjoyed our stay there, but we found it expensive.

The staff was wonderful, we had a lot of rain and they went above & beyond to make us happy. The quaint hotel is located walking distance to many restaurants. The only weird thing is that it is in a neighborhood where every property is walled in so kind of sterile looking getting there…… but inside the property is an oasis!
