Hotel Atlantis

Las Terrenas


This rambling and charming hotel is straight out of a fairy tale – all twisting staircases, covered walkways and odd-shaped rooms. The furnishings are comfortable, not luxurious, and each of the 18 rooms is different – some have balconies and fine ocean views.

There’s a palm-tree-covered patio and the owner (a former private chef to French president François Mitterrand) handles the kitchen at the restaurant. Ask him to whip you up some lunch in the hotel's beach kiosk.
