Hotel con un gran encanto
Pros:

La habitación, el personal y la piscina, todo de 10. Muy buen desayuno preparado en el momento. Si quieres comer o cenar en el hotel también puedes hacerlo con una muy buena relación calidad precio.

Cons:

La playa más cercana, no está mal, pero hay otras mucho mejores, lo bueno es que a 10/15 minutos andando hacia ambos lados hay algunas espectaculares, sobre todo la de Las Ballenas.

A wonderful little place. I'll definitely return!
Pros:

The room was quite clean and well appointed. The bathroom was fine, and I was delighted to find hot water, as this isn't always the case. The water pressure in the shower was very good.

The layout of the room had not quite been captured by the photos, but it never is. I took the upstairs room with the "king" bed, but it should be noted that the bed is actually a split king, so you're sleeping on essentially two large twins, so there's a gap in the middle. It wasn't such an issue the first night, but by the end of the 3-night stay, the gap had increased, and the beds were too heavy for me to push back together! The pillows were very nice, a pleasant surprise.

I was delighted to find a reading light over the bed. So often in the DR, the only light is an overhead one. There was an outlet very close to the bed, for ease of charging and reaching phone alarm.

We were a little nervous about the 24-hour pool, but we were promised that quiet time begins at 8 or 10 (don't remember) and it did.

Cons:

Breakfast was very good. The fresh fruit is delicious and the naturally-flavored water dispenser is a real treat. My only complaint was that the coffee was a bit watery. We are so spoiled with coffee in this country, so it was odd. We also ate dinner at La Tortuga one night and the food was excellent.

Para regresar sin duda!!!!!!!! Genial 🙂
Pros:

Viajé solo y tuve una experiencia muy buena en el Hotel La Tortuga. La ubicación es excelente, el personal siempre fue muy amable y atento, y el ambiente es tranquilo y agradable. Quiero destacar también al dueño portugués, que fue muy simpático y se portó genial conmigo durante toda la estancia. Me sentí muy cómodo y, sin duda, volvería. ¡Muy recomendable!

Would stay again!
Pros:

Loved the design of the rooms, loved the pool. The breakfast was good as well! Great value for the price!! Would stay there again! If staying on the first floor ;)

Cons:

I read in the comments before booking there that the place had problems with the hot water. The water is a little warmer than luke warm , so i can see why people said that for the shower water. Also the AC is not strong enough to cool down the second floor. So who ever sleeps up there will be hot, no joke. Bottom floor will be comfortable.
