El Rincon de Abi

Very cozy & Pleasant small hotel. The place sits in the back area of the center of Las Terrenas, about 400-500 FT from the beach. The rooms are well appointed & have everything you need, there are a total of 10 rooms? This place is good for those seeking a quiet Yoga like setting. Lots of vegetation, nice pool area. Luis, the caretaker is extremely nice & highly attentive to our requests. He cooks your breakfast to order. Had Luis not been such a pleasant & helpful person, the review could have been differently. We experienced the unfortunate wrath of mother nature, it rained for hours one evening & the hotel yard was flooded with approximately 1.5-2 Ft of water, not anyone’s fault. A couple of drawbacks: The doors are difficult to open with the provided key from inside & outside. We changed rooms due to the key issue, same thing happened with the new room & the new room had clear mold stains on the bed. This was concerning, we did not make the caretaker aware of it as it was late evening. During check in, the power went out, we had to wait outside the room until the power came in or caretaker brought a generator, ultimately it took too long & it was warm outside, we went out to dinner & power was back on a few hours later. Finally, the floor was dirty during check in, our feet were noticeably dirty from walking a few minutes in the room, house keeper cleaned the room the next morning. Overall, we enjoyed the place, The proximity to the beach, the exquisite breakfast & great service from Luis
