Hotel - Residencia El Balata

I have stayed here twice now. The place was clean quiet and just far enough from all the chaos of this beautiful little town. Everything was close by, the center of town, the beach, bank, supermarket and shopping center. The staff were courteous, friendly, polite and helpful.

Chill hotel at a good price. The amenities are pretty good compared to other hotels we went too, free water everywhere, a swimming pool, some nice areas to relax in. Service is very kind and understanding. There was a bit of a smell around the swimming pool which wasn’t great, and the road can be a little loud, but from our room this wasn’t an issue at all. We paid 60USD per night

I absolutely loved my stay here. The entire staff is very friendly and forthcoming, the rooms are nice and clean and being cleaned every day. The common areas are spacious and in a very good state. There are water dispensers with hot and cold water everywhere. The shower had a great water pressure and hot water. The only small downside is that it’s close to the road and you can hear the road in the rooms. Still, would definitely book it again. The breakfast options both Dominican and European are the best I had in the whole country

We loved our stay in Residencia El Balata! It was a pleasure to stay there, as the hosts are so welcoming and friendly. The shared spaces are super comfortable and the pool is nice. It was very clean and they cleaned the rooms every day! They have a good variety for breakfast, delicious local food but the pancakes they make are the BEST in the world!!! It is true that it is a little noisy but this is in general in the area. We slept well regardless.. Thanks for the hospitality!

This place is very good. It is very private and secure. The pool is great and although the hotel does not have beach access, the beach is only 3 to 4 minutes away driving. The rooms are very comfortable and Pedro and Melanie make you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in. They are very nice and did everything they could to make us feel at home and happy while we stayed. However, our room had an issue and was not working for the 2 nights we were there, but Pedro tried to fix it multiple times. Also, I believe there could be better communication between the security and the guest, and the rules should be made clear to all of the guests to avoid any issues. But other than that, the place is excellent and I would recommend it to anyone looking to visit Las Terrenas.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel in the Dominican Republic for our vacation, and I am happy to say that it was a wonderful experience. The hotel itself is located in a prime spot, right next to the beach and within easy walking distance of the town. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful. We also had the chance to try some of the local cuisine at nearby restaurants, which was a real treat. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation in the Dominican Republic. We had an amazing time and would definitely stay there again.

Loved this small place, very clean, great temperature in the room (didn't need the A/C - extra charge applies-), hot water in shower and comfy beds.||Also nice parking, securiry and pool. The service is really good and Mayra is very nice and helped us on a quick check in.||I will for sure return and recommend this place. Very close to the beach and downtown las terrenas (less than 10 minutes on car). ||They also offer a good breakfast for an extra charge and is a must!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was so clean and we loved the pets. You really need a vehicle to get around here as it's a long walk to the town - rent a moped for $25 per day or $20 for multiple days. Be aware of the additional payment fee charged on arrival. They do not take card here and you'll be forced to pay a 4% (I think) fee.
