Atlantis

Caressed by the ocean breezes of Playa Bonita, although located just 10 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Las Terrenas, the hotel is worlds apart from this popular tourist destination. The centre of Samana is a 45-minute ride away on public transport, as well as the Salto el Limon waterfall. Los Haitises Park is about an hour away. Puerto Plata Airport is around 170 km away, and Las Americas International Airport is approximately 350 km from the hotel. Located just a few steps from the beach in the shade of a lush, tropical grove, resplendent with coconut palms and other native vegetation, the hotel offers a special ambience not found in many tourist accommodations. The charm of the property is evident in its setting and delightful architectural features. This beach hotel has 18 rooms of differing configurations and facilities provided include a hotel safe, a bar, a breakfast room, public Internet access, a WLAN access point, room and laundry services and garage parking for those arriving by car. Contributing to the hotel's charm, each room is named instead of being numbered and is styled and decorated accordingly. All have immense bedrooms and marble bathrooms, and are comfortably appointed, inviting the weary traveller to relax. With the accommodation units comes the option of an ocean view or a private balcony or terrace setting with a garden view. Internet access, a double bed and individually adjustable air conditioning also come as standard. Sun loungers and parasols are available on the hotel grounds. A considerable number of discos and salsa bars populate the village and cater for the Dominicans' insatiable demand for music and dance. Other activities available include horseback riding, deep-sea fishing, snorkelling and SCUBA diving, wind surfing, sailing, whale watching, tennis and excursions to waterfalls, caves and national parks.
