The neighbourhood Playa Bonita is a peaceful haven. It’s a calm residential area with some restaurants. Everything is accessible on foot, by the footpath or along the beach. The cars have no access to the beach, they’re forbidden. Even if the area is isolated from the village, it’s a mere 10 minutes away by car from the heart of Las Terrenas.
Everything comes together for that stay soft, easy and enjoyable ... the sand, the sparkling sea, walks on the beach and some restaurants ... an invitation to relax ... It's hard to resist!
Playa Bonita occupies the 8th place in the ranking by "National Geographic" of the 31 most beautiful beach in the world.
I'm available to answer your questions and guide you in organizing your stay.
If you wish, I can organize the transfer from the airport SDQ, here some idea of price but an updated quote need to be ask at the moment. For example estimated price for 5 peoples SDQ/Las Terrenas US$210.00 (travel time 2 hours) or from the airport of El Catey, Price for 5 peoples El Catey/Las Terrenas US$100.00 (travel time 20 to 30 min). You can also rent a car.
Otherwise, regarding travel in Las Terrenas, you can use the "motoconchos" which are taxi motorcycles in costs around 100 dominican pesos/race and depending on the distance.

The house is beautiful and the location cannot be beat. Playa Bonita, and this spot right by the house, must be my favorite beach ever. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to tell everyone you know about it and plan a trip back as soon as you leave.
Five stars seems hardly enough for this wonderful villa and surrounding area! We, all adults, spent two idyllic weeks. The place is exactly as charming as the VRBO listing promises. It’s surgically clean with comfortable mattresses and furniture. The kitchen had all the equipment that we,all avid cooks, needed to take advantage of the local foodstuffs. Our off-site hostess, Virginie, instantly answered all of our questions. Our housekeeper, always smiling, kept the place spotless. Plus, the restaurants within walking distance were delightful. And those oh-so-gorgeous beaches just steps from the villa! One suggestion: bring inflatable pool floats as the pool is uniformly deep, so no lounging at the edge with a cocktail. Thanks so much for a fabulous abode!
The villa was beautiful. Our kids ages 4-8 really enjoyed the pool and the beach was a short walk. A little further down is a protected cove with shallow water and minimal waves (~8 min walk) which they loved. We had Wandel the private chef cook 3 dinners. He did all the shopping and clean up. He worked with us and also made sides that our picky children would eat. We had so much leftovers for lunch the next day! He was lovely and I highly recommend his service.
Host was very responsive to all and any issues that came up. Only minor issue was my laundry was hung by the maid to dry on a day forecasted to rain but I was able to use the dryer without issue after I contacted the host. It was just an extra step I didn’t expect.
Overall wonderful experience and we loved our stay.
Wir haben mit unseren 4 Kindern drei wunderschöne Wochen im Haus verbracht. Das Haus ist sauber, grosszügig und sehr komfortabel. Die unmittelbare Umgebung ist sehr ruhig, der Strand wunderschön mit verschiedenen Essensmöglichkeiten. Wir kommen wieder.
This property is amazing. It is located within a safe residential/hotel establishment. Once you arrive at the home, it is a short walk to the beach through a locked gate. All along the very relaxed beach setting are small restaurants, tiki bars and surf schools. The food at many of the restaurants is the best I had in the DR. The housekeeper is sweet and the home spotless and the gardner kind and attentive. We made use of the chef for the first morning and he made us a huge breakfast with leftovers that lasted 3 days! We went into Los Terrenas twice and when we come back we will probably explore it more, but honestly there was no need to on this trip. We had a rental car, and the driving was a crazy experience, it's not for everyone, but I feel I earned a badge for doing it. I would recommend this home and this area of the DR, I hope you go and love it as much as we did.
