Nice little place. Well located, across the road from nice beach with a couple of good little beach bars. Cottages are set in a garden and around a pool. Bed linens and towels are now a little tired. Open breakfast area is very nice. Great coffee but there is great bread available from local bakeries (thanks to the Europeans), the regular white stuff served with breakfast was disappointing.
Great value. Owners/Managers were lovely but I believe that the place was sold this summer so it will be interesting to see if there will be any changes.

Casa Nina is an exceptional find! The place is well designed and well kept. It is as close(60 seconds walk) to the beach as possible, and the tropical garden around the pool is wonderful. I looked at several other hotels in the area, and found this one to be by far the best value for the money. The rooms are clean, although I would try for one on the south or east side of the garden, as they are further away from the road traffic. The breakfast is included, and excellent. The owners are Italian, are very helpful, and speak a number of languages including French and English. The beach is beautiful, and safe for swimming. I would return in a heartbeat, and recommend Casa Nina to anybody. Enjoy!

"As close as it gets to paradise" is the quicker way to describe how was my holiday in Las Terrenas. It's a fantastic location in the Samana peninsula about 200km from the capital Santo Domingo. Ok, the place it's great for itself, but my vacation couldn't be as good if the hotel were I was staying, was great too!
I must say I was totally satisfy & surprise with the hospitality of Casa Nina & their hostes. I say satisfy because it's a quite little hotel that makes you feel kind of "home" for his privacy & cosyness, surrounded by the green of the trees & colourfull flowers...hey let's not forget that there are a barely 20 meters to walk from the reception to dipping your feet in the fantastic caribbean sea!!!
I say that I was "surprise" with the hostess, because from my experience, often hostes can be rude, and careless to make a good impression on tourists, since there is plenty of them...but not here! As I said I really feel like home there!
And I think the only language that the owner couldn't speak was the Mandarin! Like me most clients, I ended up staying much longer in Casa Nina then expected for all this reasons and others.

I went to Dominican Republic for 1 month and decided to stay in Las Terrenas in the peninsula of Samana for a dream holiday. I opted for Casa Nina.

The hotel is ideally located in front of the beach, not too far from the centre. I received a warm welcome at Casa Nina. They speak different languages and the staff is particularly accommodating. I appreciated the quality of bungalows, typically Dominican, clean, spacious and convenient. The morning, you will receive your breakfast at the terrace next to the swimming pool. What's a pleasure to drink every morning my natural fruit juice! (Banana, passion fruit,...). I must also mention the breakfast was particularly copious.

There is a swimming pool however the beach is just at 15m from the hotel. There are kilometres of beautiful, deserted and lovely beaches where you will be R. Crusoe in action. You can easily find your ideal spot and sunbath all the day.

The evening, I usually enjoyed the sunset from the front terrace drinking my aperitif and socializing with guests and owners.

Bars, restaurants, shops and night-clubs are just down the street at 3 min by walk. I particularly enjoyed my Dominican nights, the atmosphere and not to have to walk long minutes before to be back home.

The staff helped me to organize my excursions and indicated me the “must-to-see”.

To conclude, Las Terrenas is definitely a piece of heaven in this world and Casa Nina the best place to stay.
