Really enjoyed the quietness of the hotel. The breakfast has good options depending on your taste. The bedroom is quite large and the bed is comfortable. Staff were helpful. And the beach is less than 5min walk from the hotel.

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.

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!
