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.

I would like to request a refund. The service was horrible. The check in process took a hour because they seemed understaff and the man who was trying to help us had no idea what he was doing because he was just security. Our door wouldn’t lock and I felt very unsafe and barely slept. The roaches were everywhere in the bathroom. Very unpleasant experience overall !

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.
