It is in the perfect location, just outside of Las Terrenas. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful, but close to dining and shopping.

there were a number of issues in our unit… the dishwasher and clothes washer did not work, the balcony doors did not lock, there were no screens on the windows and doors so if we opened them to get fresh air, mosquitoes came in! The lighting in the unit was super dim everywhere! no reasonable place to put in makeup/get ready to go out.

We drove past the property seven years ago and it caught our eye. We stayed this time. Very nicely decorated inside. Beds and linens were great. Check in was very easy. The overall property is older and overgrown, but it works. The kitchen pots, pans and cooking utensils are a worn out. But we successfully prepared meals nonetheless. The restaurant on the beach is a real upscale treat. Good choices. Excel service and they served the food very fast. We will definitely return to this property.

Buen establecimiento, pero cuidado con los robos
El apartamento estaba en muy buen estado. El servicio es bueno en general. Nuestro único problema fue que nos robaron unas pertenencias que dejamos en el área de la piscina. Al reportarlo, no quisieron hacerse responsable de nada, ni siquiera se disculparon por lo sucedido.

Hello Carolina, Although we are quite surprised and dismayed by the content of your review regarding your holiday at our Xëliter Balcones del Atlantico, please rest assured that your comments have been taken on board and revised by the entire Management team, however, we would like to take this opportunity to clarify certain aspects of your review as a simple matter of exactness of the information reported. We understand reading your review that apparently you were not properly informed about our meal plan, we are not an All inclusive property as described on Expedia website; also, we would like to take the opportunity to clarify that in the event of having a guest reporting a theft in the room, our staff is fully aware of the procedures to undertake, offer the option to contact the official authorities for you to fill an official complaint, unfortunately as clearly reported on the hotel's litterature, the hotel cannot be taken responsible for valuables and personal belongings not secured in our in-room safes, lastly we also would like to reassure you on the fact that none of our maids would ever put their job at risk by taking any belonging of our guests. Again, we genuinely appreciate the time you took out of your day to inform us of the inadequacies you experienced during your stay and we sincerely hope that you will allow us another opportunity to demonstrate our true level of hospitality and interest in serving you properly in the future.

Beautiful Place Bad Experience
I had to wait around 20 minutes just to begin with the check in, because there was only one lady in reception. When we arrived to the apartment, the WiFi didn’t work and the AC of the general areas didn’t work either. We made a report but nothing was fixed and apparently they knew it was damaged because they let it slip in one of my conversations with the staff. The apartment I was staying at, is privately owned and the owners sent a lady (first morning really early and entered the apartment without permission, checking everything on the kitchen) (second day we were at the beach and came back and she was inside, again without permission). There were no beach towels as the website described and when asked to send them, they arrived the second day in the afternoon. When I went to do my checkout (aside that the apartment was nice, the only good thing is that they allowed us to do a late check out) I waited and waited and waited, only one person doing the check out and they didn’t help guests in the order of arrival. I’m a very positive person and I ended up having a good time because I was spending time with my family BUT I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. At least not the unit that I stayed in. Of the 4 families making check out, sort of at the same time, one of them had a pleasant stay, the other ones didn’t.

My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary at this hotel. It was absolutely gorgeous. The apartment had all the modern conveniences including full kitchen with a stove. The rooms had cable TV and flatscreens. The decorations of the apartment were flawless and everything was in super good condition and clean. The staff spoke English and was very friendly from the reception all the way down to the security guards. I would definitely return to this place with my family.
