Located in Las Terrenas, Hostel 23 features a garden, shared lounge, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is set less than 1 km from Punta Popy Beach.

Each room has a private bathroom and a shower, and certain rooms at the hostel have a terrace. I highly recommend this hostel if you are staying in Las Terrenas. The location makes everything easier. In less than 10min walk you will find yourself at the beach. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby too. The staff and the owners are so welcoming, they even hang out and go out with the guests. The backpacking atmosphere in the common area makes you travel even more. A 10 out of 10.

Situated in Las Terrenas, 3.1 km from Pueblo de los Pescadores, Fata Morgana Eco Hotel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and barbecue facilities. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

The area is popular for cycling, and car hire is available at the hostel. Idyllic Escape at Fata Morgana – Highly Recommend! I recently had the pleasure of staying at Fata Morgana in Las Terrenas, and it was a truly relaxing and memorable experience. The property is set in a serene, idyllic location with lush surroundings that immediately put you at ease. A highlight for me was the presence of two friendly donkeys that roam the grounds—they added such a charming and peaceful vibe to the stay! I traveled without children but brought along my small dog, who was warmly welcomed. The proprietor was incredibly hospitable and multilingual, which made communication effortless. She’s also a certified tour guide for the Dominican Republic, and her local knowledge was invaluable. She even assisted us with arranging a car rental, which made getting around much easier. The accommodations are individual bungalows—clean, spacious, and thoughtfully laid out with private bathrooms. I also really appreciated the communal kitchen and dining area, which included a lovely porch where guests could relax, cook, and connect. Fata Morgana has a calm, authentic charm that’s perfect for those looking to unwind and experience the true spirit of Las Terrenas. I would absolutely stay here again.

With water sports facilities, the property also features barbecue facilities. Free WiFi and a shared kitchen are provided. The place is quiet and peaceful surrounded by nature (we got avocados and bananas directly from the trees in the garden). The commun kitchen is full equiped and always clean, and the commun areas are perfect for chatting with other guests. The two owners are lovely and always keen to help you with whatever you need. The beautiful beach of Madama is within 45 min walking through the jungle, and Fronton beach is within 1h30.
