Go there once, and you'll be back
I have stayed at Playa Colibri on several occasions and simply cannot stay away anymore. The place is beautifull, it has 45 apartment in different sizes, so it can accomodate from 1 upto 6 people (studio to villa). Most of them have a beach view and all of them have a kitchen, satelite television, internet connection, and what you don't find, they will get for you (the staff is extremely friendly and helpful). Their prices are very reasonable, depending on the season. It is a great place to meet other people, I have made lots of friends there, people from all over the world. The town is a 15 minute walk away, but that is only for the better, because at night it is very quiet, not like in Las Terrenas itself, where there are open air disco's and restaurants, great for going dancing, but awfaul if you are trying to sleep. The hotel is run by a european couple and they will do everything possible to give your stay a personal touch. There is also a very good restaurant, with indoor (well, nothing is indoor really) seating and seating on the beach. They have a nice pool, set in a lush tropical garden, open 24/7. I highly recommend this location and hotel.
Unique Quality: The unique quality of Hotel Playa Colibri is the service and location. They have built the hotel on one of the most beautiful, sandy beaches of the island, but all in style with the local architcture, not forgetting all the western comforts (i.e. every apartment has a bidet). The staff is well trained, the hotel manager is always there to lend a helping hand. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met, professional, but relaxed. Another thing that makes this hotel unique is the fact that it's suitable for singles, couples and groups, without getting in each others way.
