Mahona Boutique Hotel, Las Terrenas
Expert reviews
“Perfectly coiffed and manicured, much like the warm and stylish French couple behind this small collection of whitewashed bungalows surrounding a small pool, Mahona does everything right, especially the fabulous multicourse breakfast served up in a sunny space.”

Situated on a secluded lane and enclosed within a fortified compound, the opulent Mahona Boutique Hotel serves as a delightful sanctuary in the northeastern municipality of Las Terrenas.
This town is a picturesque seaside hamlet in a region that has experienced less construction compared to other parts of the island. The coastline is adorned with breathtaking beaches, with a cordial ambiance radiating from the independent boutique shops and local eateries in the vicinity.
The interior of Mahona Boutique Hotel is astounding, comprising of 10 private suites and villas that offer guests an exquisite place to start their exploration of the island.
The suites are snug and perfect for duos seeking an extraordinary retreat, while the villas are vast, featuring four-poster beds enveloped in white, ample leisure areas, and the extravagance of a private swimming area.
Around the hotel, guests can relish the serene nooks of the property with an attractive botanical garden to admire and sunbathing beds scattered around the pool zone.
The diligent team at Mahona Hotel provides guests with a tantalizing breakfast, ready to cater to special requests for omelets or pancakes.
In addition, they offer pampering massages conducted by their skilled in-house therapist to aid guests in relaxing and rejuvenating. Dog enthusiasts will also enjoy the company of the delightful Bebou, the hotel’s loyal canine companion.

Fabulous
It is a very quiet and relaxing accommodation. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, and the yard and garden are like an exotic oasis. Very friendly staff and a fabulous breakfast make you feel like you would like to stay longer :)
The pool is quite small. Also, although they are on a quiet and clean street, the neighborhood is not at all clean and the road access is in bad conditions, until you reach their door.

A sanctuary in the heart of Las Terranas
A sanctuary in the heart of Las Terranas. A joy to come back to after the beach or sightseeing. Delicious breakfast in relaxed atmosphere. It felt cool and fab to be there!
Having to pay cash up front and a septic tank. We were informed about the cash but having booked over six months ago this did not register until they reminded us a week before after we had left home.

Cozy boutique hotel in the heart of Las Terrenas
A super nice, small boutique hotel just a few min walk from the beach and the restaurant and bar area. The hotel grounds are small and so cozy, very gree and makes you feel you’re in a jungle. The pool is cozy and clean. The included breakfast experience is unique. With fresh squeezed maracuja juice, warm croissant, a crape and omelette. The breakfast area is verycozy with attention to detal.
Nothing.

Property met all expectations and the superlative reviews by others.
Incredible breakfast. Friendly staff. Quiet location. Very relaxing.
Pascal, the proprietor, is not someone to be trusted. He advertised the same three days for the same room for $856 without giving the name of the hotel or its address. He recommended a restaurant that happened to be a friend of his and was one of the least quality meals we had.

I love that this little place is like an oasis so peaceful and quiet.
The only thing I don't like is the parking is a little bit tight but is on my own doing cause I drive a big suv.

Small tropical oasis - best accommodation in Las Terrenas!
amazing breakfast with good quality very friendly staff, well maintained its like a small tropical oasis in the middle of las terrenas - definitely worth going, a must if u go to Las Terrenas even if it’s on the pricier side.
Shelf in the shower for shampoo ect would be useful

Lovely place to stay and would come back!!
Loved the setting and having our own bungalow to stay in. Breakfast was fantastic and the ladies serving breakfast were very friendly, had wonderful massages!!
Only thing would have been to get a little more information up front on the excursion Mahona booked for us to the National Park. Got very few details and didn’t know we were spending half the day at the beach. It was a great day but would have packed for the day differently if we had known.

Fabulous
It is a lovely and pleasant hotel, it's tiny but has a lot of privacy. The stuff is great. The rooms are beautiful. The breakfast is indulgent.. (includes both sweet and savory..omelet, fruit salad, crepe and more..)
The upper shower did not work in one of the rooms

Paradise.
I honestly don’t know where to start. My mom and I had such an amazing experience that all I can say is you better book your stay while you can. We stayed at the villa with the private pool because I wanted to do something special for my moms birthday. Nicaori and Magaly helped me decorate the room for the mom which I am so thankful for ! Nicaori, Magaly and Arelis aswell as the rest of the team, really made our trip experience the best. First time there and felt at home. It’s located in the center of everything so if you’re decided on whether you should rent a car or four wheeler in the area, take the four wheeler. You won’t be stuck in traffic and it’s easier to get around and find where to park. You’re in the center of everything. Breakfast was amazing! Scram eggs, French toast and crepes were out favorite! Great place, great location and GREAT TEAM running the place. Will be returning.

The private pool was great, we had a lot of fun and the hotel personal was so kind. The breakfast was delicious and the hotel is really well located, close to the beach and to a lot of restaurants.
It was kind of complicated to module the temperature of the water

Beautiful oasis
We stayed in the villa as it was the only room available when we booked this place and it was lovely and spacious. The private pool looked a little dodgy at first but we ended up enjoying it to the max. The breakfast was great and the staff excellent. We could have done with a smaller room here but we loved every moment and would recommend this place anytime. A small oasis, a short walk from the center of town.

Your favorite private little resort!
It’s really just two minutes to the beach! Our room was clean and cozy, AC worked perfectly. The pool was super clean and the whole place is just a little paradise with just the right amount of privacy. The staff was really friendly and we enjoyed a nice breakfast every morning, consisting of pancakes, fruit salad, scrambled eggs, croissant with marmelade, coffee and juice! We can highly recommend the hotel! P.S.: Book a massage, it’s great.

Good value at a very well run property
We had an excellent stay here. The included breakfast is extraordinarily large and tasty. Our room was not large, but it was clean and comfortable. The manager was not just friendly but she also helped us arrange an excursion to Los Haitesis Park and a massage, both on short notice. We could walk in about 10 minutes to good restaurants in central Las Terrenas.
We really had no complaints.

Amazed
We just got engaged and we were searching for a short quiet romantic getaway and we got everything that we wanted in this hotel. The interior, the garden, dining space, birds, huge plants- everything felt like a dream! It was the thrill and rest all in one.

Would recommend
Most beautiful tranquil boutique hotel. Only a few rooms which was divine so never felt busy. Breakfasts were great.
Nothing not to like. Just a note that they do not take card payment so payment for the rooms is cash only in local currency, USD or Euro.

A little oasis walking distance to the beach
Breakfast was amazing, multiple courses every one of which tasted amazing. The service staff were friendly making for a very enjoyable stay.
The shower temperature constantly swung all over the place from too hot to too cold.

Great place to stay!
The hotel is a little oasis in the middle of Las Terrenas! It’s beautiful inside and the rooms are very comfortable.
It’s insane that in 2024 there are places that don’t accept credit card. Be careful because that happens all over Las Terrenas, not just in the hotel.

I loved everything about the hotel. We had the 2 bedroom villa with a private pool. It was large and nicely decorated, but above all, it was spotless. I loved the location because it was a bit secluded, but a short walk to the beach and restaurants. My favorite part was the breakfast. It was delicious and so nicely served. I truly felt like I was in France.
Loved everything ❤️

Warm welcome from the owners. Stayed as a couple. We got the break we needed. Clean rooms, safe, great location (lots to do), 2 min walk to beach. Great assistance, we had issue with our car and the owner took the time to help us. Nice healthy breakfast provided with a bonus of freshly baked bread.
Can not say a bad word about this place!

Little oasis within a big oasis
This place is beautiful little oasis on its own. Bar serves delicious cocktails and delicious breakfast. Services was superb.
It's not a deal killer, but they only accept cash.

Nice
Peaceful and tranquil which is quite remarkable given it is a very short walk from a very loud town. Excellent breakfast. Nice pool area. Comfortable bed. Nice bathroom. Very nice aesthetic overall. Very pleasant staff. Big room.
Lots of mosquitos in the room. Quite expensive. Given the cost, it is difficult that they don't accept cards, even though we only stayed 2 nights.

Best place ever!
Amazing place! We were in love of everything, the rooms, the space, the deco, the pool, the plants.. everything is just lovely and Magali, the admin, is the best, really happy with her management skills and closeness. Also, the breakfast and the lady that prepare everything are the best! For sure we will come back. We actually change our plans to stay more
All was perfect.

The Mahona provided an intimate, tranquil, tropical paradise with easy access to everything.
The tropical setting was beautiful and the sweet Carribean style beach bungalows opened to the quiet pool. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The morning breakfast were delicious and delightful with opportunity for meeting other guests. Laid back, relaxed vibe with attentive staff including a gardener who was one with nature.
The location was a little further from the beach than we expected.
