Hotel Casa Robinson
Accommodation
A simple, well-kept guesthouse set in a tropical garden a short walk from the beach in Las Terrenas, with rooms and apartments in wooden and stone buildings. It's quiet and affordable, and the town's restaurants, bars and the Pueblo de los Pescadores are close by — a relaxed base for exploring the Samaná peninsula.
📍Calle Emilio Prud'homme 2, Las Terrenas 32000, Dominican Republic
La Terrasse
Food & Drink
A popular beachfront restaurant in the Pueblo de los Pescadores, Las Terrenas' row of old fishermen's houses turned restaurants. It serves French, Mediterranean and Caribbean dishes — seafood, octopus, steak au poivre — on a deck facing the sunset over the bay. It's busy in the evenings, so reserve ahead for a table by the water.
📍Pueblo de los Pescadores, Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic
Playa Bonita
Nature
A long, palm-fringed beach a couple of kilometres west of Las Terrenas town, quieter than the central beaches, with golden sand and waves that suit bodyboarding and beginner surfing. A few small hotels and beach restaurants sit behind it. Take care with currents when the surf is up, and bring water and shade.
