With over 30,000 sqm of oceanfront property and 32 rooms in 8 buildings in a well manicured, tropical garden setting, Hotel Bahia Las Ballenas offers the spaciousness of a large property, but with the coziness that a well-thought out facility allows. This new property is located in the Playa Bonita area, some 15 minutes west of Las Terrenas.

Accommodating up to four persons, each room is decorated with a different color scheme. Shown here is the "Mexican" motif with it's skillful splash of bright colors producing a cheerful, tropical impression. Other rooms blend soft pastels with warm colors and produce a peaceful and restful effect. In addition, each room is casually appointed insuring a comfortable stay.

Unique to the hotel (and the area) are open air bathrooms. Bright and airy, each room's bath facility in the quadraplex building is located around a central atrium opening in the structure's common roof, providing a tropical garden effect, complete with natural vegetation and a burbling fountain. The result is a bathroom facility that skillfully blends form and function and yet affords total privacy.

El Bohio restaurant and bar features both an international menu and Dominican criollo specialities. The restaurant's covered, open-air terrace faces the ocean and affords a pleasant view of the ocean's constantly changing moods. In season, live entertainment is featured here.

The large pool and it's sundeck becomes a focal point for guests to gather around and socialize while enjoying the warm tropical sun. A Jacuzzi whirlpool is also available for the guest's enjoyment. Other amenities include a dive shop and boutique. And for those tired and sore muscles, enjoy a brisk rubdown in the massage salon. Now that's relaxing!

Room rates are from $75 to $125 USD, low to high season, double occupancy, with tax and breakfast included. A meal plan is also available. In addition to major credit cards and Traveler's Checks, many of the world's major currencies are accepted. Children and pets are always welcome and the friendly staff of Bahia Las Ballenas will gladly help you arrange local transportation and assist in tour bookings.
