Nestled under towering palms and surrounded by tropical gardens of hibiscus, ginger and heliconia, La Paloma is a great escape for a family or up to three couples who want a casual vacation that is centered around relaxation, good food and beach time. La Paloma is conveniently located only 2 minutes from the beach, 10 minutes from excellent beach restaurants, 5 minutes from a great spa and 20 minutes from town. Enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches on the island where there is the shade of palms or sun glistened sand. A casual lunch on the beach followed by a swim is always fun or you can or rent a Hobi at the Sailing Club, only a four minute walk.

Insgesamt nicht empfehlenswert!

Die Unterkunft ist absolut in die Jahre gekommen. Die Hygiene in den Waschräumen und Toiletten lässt stark zu wünschen übrig. Selbst das Besteck hatte schon Lochfraß vom Rost. Auf Nachfrage zu den Mängeln wurde uns angeboten die Unterkunft sofort zu verlassen. Was natürlich unmöglich ist. Das Wasser aus den Leitungen roch verfault. Die Klimaanlagen sind total veraltet und sehr laut und teilweise ohne Funktion. Ein entspanntes schlafen ist kaum möglich. Die gesamten Oberflächen in der Küche sind klebrig und verlebt. Das Geschirr ist aus Plastik. Wir waren insgesamt sehr enttäuscht über diese Unterkunft. Wir können nur jeden abraten diese Unterkunft zu mieten. Der einzige Vorteil ist die absolute Strandlage. Aber auch diese rechtfertigt nicht den Preis.

Tropical Oasis, perfect Post Covid vacation

La Paloma is a wonderful villa in the heart of Las Terrenas. It was our first visit to the DR and Leslie made it very special. After not traveling for a year we chose Las Terrenas for the secluded beaches and restaurants. It did not disappoint. The villa is located 2 mins off the beach and walkable to the town and the beachside restaurants. It’s secluded and private and very secure. The pool was our favorite place to be, it’s surrounded by tropical plants, and tall palms. The villa has everything you need and if not, Leslie is always available to answer questions. We appreciated the water cooler, the floor fan, the coffee maker and the outdoor shower. The villa has the real feel of the Dominican, with beautiful artwork and furniture. The villa is clean and comfortable. Our visit was in April so the mosquitos were active but if you keep the doors closed and use bug spray they aren’t a problem. We loved waking up to the birds and watching tiny hummingbirds in the back yard. Leslie was a perfect host and we plan to return and stay at the villa again soon. I miss it already.

Perfect villa - pool, grill, gardens, steps to beach and town

This is a very nice villa decorated in a typical Dominican style. The owners - who are longtime Las Terrenas residents - are extremely hospitable and offer excellent insight and tips (local cuisine, shops, adventures). The home is comfortable for a family of 4, plus another couple or nanny. The location is quiet and private, yet only one block from Las Ballenas beach. The saltwater pool and outdoor showers are very nice. Indulge in a private massage outdoors under the palapa - superb! We loved it and hope to return again!

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Honey

We are now semi-retired and enjoying our lives between our farm in New Hampshire where we raise and sell day-lilies and our winter home in Las Terrenas. We enjoy renting and maintaining our three properties and meeting people who have chosen Las Terrenas as their vacation destination. We enjoy introducing them to different parts of the town if they wish and advising them about the best restaurants, attractions and beaches in the area.

Why they chose this property

We have enjoyed coming to Las Terrenas since 1982 when it really was an authentic fishing village. We have watched it grow over the years and become a place that we could not have imagined. It still has its magnetic attraction for us even though it is now a premier tourist destination because of its incredible natural beauty.
