One of Our Homes Away from Home 🏡
Pros:

The Billini Hotel has truly become our home away from home. Celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary—and renewing our vows there—was magical, just like the previous stays (yes, we’re at about seven visits now!). The staff always goes above and beyond, and the food is consistently top-notch. My family and friends were blown away by the experience. The newer champagne bar is a lovely addition, offering little tapas perfect for relaxing outside. We’ve always adored the cathedral view rooms (where we first fell in love with the hotel), but the owner’s suite is now our go-to. Oh, and their mojitos? Absolute favorites—they pack a mighty punch! The rooftop pool and stargazing at night really seal the deal—the vibes are spectacular up there! And their pizza spot offers an incredible variety—our favorite was the olive and tapenade pizza!
There is also a Cafe below the pizza shop that has coffee and the most amazing pastries!!

Plus, you can’t beat the Colonial Zone for location—
Steps away from shopping, restaurants and bodegas.

Cons:

The ONLY reason I did not give the Billini a 10 was because the water was not hot on demand and there were no washcloths daily. These are thw tiniest things to such an AMAZING PROPERTY, STAFF and LOCATION.

Unkompliziert und freundlich
Pros:

Tolle Lage, angenehme Räumlichkeiten

Cons:

Bei der DJ-Party auf der Dachterrasse kam eine zweite (Hotel-) Musik parallel über Lautsprecher. Auch auf Bitte konnte das nicht abgestellt werden.

Buena situación, desayunos decepcionantes.
Pros:

El emplazamiento.

Cons:

Las habitaciones eran oscuras y ruidosas. El desayuno no merecía la pena para el precio que pagabas por él.

Wonderful hotel!
Pros:

Such a beautiful hotel in a wonderful location. We stayed there twice.

I especially liked the plaza outside next to the church, where you could sit and have breakfast from the hotel …or go to the cafe next door.

The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. I also really appreciated the service from the taxi service they work with, Felix Tours, who took us to and from Las Terrenas and offered us water, cough drops (we needed them), good music, and good conversation.

Cons:

There was one morning when the hot water didn’t work so not sure what happened.

The hot tub is still not hot!
Pros:

It's reasonably nice and in a great location but basic stuff didn't work at this hotel. Calling room service or the front desk got no answer so I had to go down to the first floor every time. The hot tub was not hot despite two attempts by the hotel to fix the issue. The room key cards did not work, despite their reissuing them to me four times, and the part on the door had to be replaced. They took an hour to fix it while we were in the room waiting for them to leave and watching our room service order get cold. On the plus side, the restaurant food was decent and the massage was amazing. But if you have read posts about the hot tub not working and hoped that it was a one-off situation, no. Apparently, it never gets hot and is just eye candy to lure in customers with hopes of a nice hot soak that, sorry, you cannot have.

Un très bel hôtel mais si possible demander les chambres à l étage.
Pros:

Nous avons apprécié l emplacement, la décoration de l hôtel, le vallet, et la gentillesse du personnel.

Cons:

Je n ai pas aimé le fait de ne pas avoir de fenêtre dans la chambre et surtout une vieille odeur de cave qui m’a beaucoup dérangé.
