Cheap Hotels in Las Terrenas

For a taste of the Dominican Republic that feels more like a European seaside village, look to Las Terrenas on the Samaná Peninsula. This is where long stretches of sand like Playa Bonita meet a lively, walkable town center. The main draw is the blend of a relaxed Caribbean beach life with a surprising international flair, seen in its French bakeries, Italian restaurants, and the colorful fishing boats at Playa Cosón. You can spend your days horseback riding along the shore, exploring the waterfalls of El Limón, or simply finding your perfect spot on the sand.

The town is ideal for independent travelers, couples, and families seeking a more authentic experience than a large resort enclave. Staying near the central Pueblo de los Pescadores puts you in the heart of the dining and shopping scene, while the roads along Playa Bonita offer more secluded villa and hotel options. Las Terrenas is served by the El Catey International Airport, about a 45-minute drive away, and having a rental car is highly recommended to explore the peninsula’s many coves.

Accommodation here is dominated by small, characterful boutique hotels and self-catering apartments, giving you a real feel for local life. On HOTEVI, you’ll find a curated selection of seven places to stay, ranging from budget-friendly guesthouses like Hotel Atlantis to stylish beachfront properties such as Casa Cosón and the all-inclusive Bahía Príncipe Cayacoa.
