Casa Lily & Coco

We stayed for 7 nights in the upper apartment named Fuffy, and we may stay here again if we return to Las Terrenas. The apartment definitely need adaptation, both in rooms, kitchen area and bathroom. The furniture is quite old, but if you do not expect high class, it is OK. From entrance, you enter first bedroom with large bed and a wardrobe. From this room you enter the bathroom and second bigger room kitchen and entrance to the private terrace, a large bed, sitting area, smart TV and WiFi. A/C available but looked very old, and was charged extra, we did not use it. Bathroom is big with shower. Water pressure was not the best but this is a general problem in DR. The staff do not speak English, only Spanish, but we communicated with them via Google Translator, and they were always around and very helpful when needed. There were constructions ongoing around when we stayed in February 2023, but there was no noise from them, just the view was not so nice. The house is surrounded with walls and a beautiful garden inside, you can also park inside the walls. On upper level there is room for hanging washed clothes and also an open shared terrace. Kitchen definitely need adaptation, refrigerator is yellow inside, and equipment is old, but if you do not expect high class, there is enough for basic cooking. There is a small shop with some groceries and water just outside, but there are also lots of other shops and supermarkets not so far away. Nearest beach Playa Bonita is about 15-20 minutes walking distance, a few minutes by car. The beach is very long with palms giving a nice shade, crystal clear water, but a bit too much waves for swimming. Although a great place for surfing. There are many hotels along the beach with good food and drinks and live music. The city is also close, about 5-10 min by car, but it is very crowded and hard to find parking. There are a few good supermarkets with big parking where you can stay for free, many restaurants, shops and all the long sandy beaches in Las Terrenas are beautiful.
