Tener en cuenta que las habitaciones son basicas, no hay siquiera un pequeño refrigerador. El area de la propiedad en general es buena, se ve bien mantenida.

Very confy with superb beachfront breakfast. Enjoy
I had a great stay at Turtle Lagoon Beach, the owner and his personnel were very attentive. I found out that some young kids had an issue with the hotel and they left negative reviews which are all unfounded. The hotel has the best setting for breakfast at Playa Bonita right in front of the beach. The room is cozzy with good AC and hot shower. We did not use the TV yet it had the channels that most would want. If you want to be within walking distance to great restaurants or just relax at the beach, this hotel is great and will be a good venue to explore the rest of Samana. It certainly deserves better ratings and that is why I want to make sure that other visitors get to enjoy this nice hotel.

We left some swimsuites in the balkony. They disappeared for good. We are sure that they were taken by the hotel staff. On our inquiry, the hotel management did not pay sufficient attention to this very unpleasant situation. We will never return to this place with its unprofessional staff!

Great Location, right at the beach, within walking distance to Playa bonita. Options for surfers are plentiful, as well as bars and restaurants. The only downside of the hotel are the rooms. They should definitely be renovated and updated.

A breakfast to remember!
I had to take my breakfast in a bag bacause they took more than 30 minutes to serve it. They forgot to add sugar to the passion fruit juice. There were so many people angry, yelling at the manager for not being ready. The reservations include breakfast. Having hungry guests should not have been a surprise. I like that location of the hotel, but thats it.

Lo único bueno del hotel es que esta en la playa y la amabilidad de los trabajadores. Los edificios estan viejos y descuidados. La limpieza es pésima, no hay agua caliente. No te dan toallas, ni papel. Las habitaciones estan comunicadas, por un agujero....de obra sin terminar, la privacidad es mínima

Reservas una habitación superior y te dan una estandar,eso si te cobran la superior. La limpieza te la hacen un dia si y otro no,cuando pone todos los días. No hay secador de pelo,mucho menos zapatillas. Si vas a las Terrenas mejor buscar otro hotel.

Buen hotel ..pero lo pensaría muy bien para volver
Las habitaciones no son las que aparecen en la fotografía, El personal era muy amable y eficiente. Las instalaciones en general muy buenas. El restaurante bien y el personal era muy bueno, sumamente educado y atentos. El hotel tiene todo lo que se necesita para una estadía agradable. El problem es taba en la habitación. Controles sin pilas, Tv sin señal, no era las habitaciones que aparecen en la pagina, el baño incomodo y filtro agua a la habitación. No teníamos ni agua o un vaso disponible. Al parecer su gran debilidad es la supervisión. Nos quejamos y reclamamos....fue como si nada paso. Una joven con turnos de mas 8 horas, que se le podia ver el cansancio. Una lastima que tienen todo para ser un buen hotel, solo les falta un poquito de atención gerencial.

estimados no podemos dejar esto comentario sin repuesta porque no es la verdad. las fotos que aparecen en expedia son las fotos de nuestras habitaciones y todo los otros huespédes poden confirmarlo. ustedes han llegado al hotel y no han querido el habitación superior que se ha reservado porque quería estar mas cerca de la playa.La recepción le ha explicado que estas habitaciones cerca de la playa son de un estándar inferior y su repuesta fue que no le importaba.tenia agua en el habitación como en todas nuestras habitaciones, mas de todo ustedes han preguntado 3 veces mas otra agua .entonces como se puede decir que nada paso cuando se reclamo ? la joven en recepción no esta cansada y usted sabe porque ? porque no trabaja la semana ...al meno que usted quiere hacer el planilla de trabajo del hotel ? no podemos aceptar comentarios falsos.....

Muy bueno todo
El complejo es muy completo. El hotel es súper lindo. La playa es hermosa. La zona donde esa es practica para todo. El desayuno super completo. La piscina muy limpia y bien posicionada. No hay crítica, pero la verdad que nos pareció mu dura la cama, pero tampoco es que solicitamos un cambio, por ende no podemos quejarnos. Seguramente por el buen servicio que tenian nos cambiaban de habitación.

great location not so goof service
the place is well located and amazing. Beach front although the beach is not the best. Restaurant by the beach very good and waiters very sympathetic. The rooms are a bit old and too bright due to a skylight. Bathroom is really bad and water from the shower spills all over the floor. We had a huge problem with the bathroom which we had to ask for three times to be solved ( tiring and Stressful)

Bon sejour
Dommage qu'il n'y est pas de bouilloire ni de frigo dans la chambre ( standard) pour y faire un the ou un café. Pas de restauration ni de petit dej sur place , il fallait aller dans un hotel à coté 😕.Le personnel est tres sympatique, et l'hotel est tres propre.La plage n'est pas comme sur les photos de plus beaucpup de vagues la baignade est dangereuse .....

bonjour merci de votre avis Depuis notre restaurant est ouvert et nous y servons les petites déjeuners en face de la piscine, c'est pourquoi il n'y a pas de cafetière ou bouilloire pour préparer un thé ou un café, vous pouvez en commander au restaurant. La plage est exactement la même que sur les photos mais si le temps était mauvais comme lors de votre visite il est clair que la plage vous semble différente et que la mer soit agitée. Revenez nous voir pour apprécier la plage de Playa Bonita classée 5eme plage la plus belle au monde !
