    I had arrived to the property later than I told the host, because when your traveling things don’t always go according to plan. I tried to call 5 times, and also texted once, to which nobody responded.. until the next day. When I arrived there was nobody to receive me and a woman in the house just ignored me, and I was left to wait until I was eventually let in by one of the long term tenants. When the host arrived on the property later that night she scolded me as if she was my mom, which I did not appreciate. Flexibility with check in and communication needs improvement here if you want to run an accommodation business. Answering your phone would be a good start!

    It’s a great place to stay, extremely clean and well Maintained property. It is a little farther out from town but also closer to playa coson and playa Bonita. It’s also easy to find. The room was very comfortable and spacious and well worth the money, very cheap for what you get. Drinking water available in the shared kitchen. Hot water in shower.

    Fata Morgana was just the quiet restful place we needed after some time in a noisy, hectic city.

    The bed could have been a bit more comfortable. Next door, over the wall, the workmen started a little early, but that was out of the hosts control. The distance to the beaches was farther than we had anticipated.

    The quaint cottages and garden were very pleasant. The other guests were friendly and the interaction in the common kitchen was enjoyable. The host is an animal rescuer and had a number of friendly dogs and two donkeys who wandered the premises.

    The estimate of distance to the beach was optimistic. We had cash, but were not advised by site description on Booking.com that credit cards were not accepted.

    The peaceful garden setting and the individual cottages were charming. It was a great place for animal lovers with dogs and donkeys!

    The property is a bit out of the way, far from downtown and the beach, but not that quiet either. I wouldn't necessarily have wanted to stay there for a long stay, but perfect for my last night in Las Terrenas

    Good value for the price, I got there later at night and left early so didn't get a chance to use the amenities or look around the property. I appreciated that the host helped me with securing a moto-taxi

    Location is a bit far from Playa Bonita but only 5-10min by cab so manageable. Better have mosquito or black fry repellent

    Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, such a beautiful ambience and the host Edith was so helpful!

    That I had to leave.

    Fata Morgana is a haven of peace. Everything about the gardens, the communal kitchen and my room showed pride of ownership. Edit met me with a smile. She answered my many questions with great patience. If you get a chance go hiking with her. She is a certified tour guide and you couldn't be in more capable hands. I spent three weeks at Fata Morgana. I felt I was part of an extended family. Edit has a heart of gold and rescues animals who need a loving home. The dogs and two donkeys are testimonial to how caring Edit is. There are many beaches close by; all of them lined by palm trees. Gorgeous turquoise ocean too. The scenario looks straight out of a travel brochure. If you don't care to walk you can flag down one of the many "conchos" (motorcycle taxis) who will whisk you for CAD$3 either into town or to the beach. My two favourite beaches where Playa Bonita and Playa Popi Punta (lovely drift wood at the point). Lots of grocery stores in town where you can get everything your heart desires. Make sure you visit the gelato place with its many tropical flavours. A really yummy treat. If you are thinking about booking this place don't hesitate. You will be rewarded by a clean room, comfy bed, hammock swinging at your front porch. There was also a perfect space in the common sitting area to unroll my yoga mat. During my daily practice I noticed many tropical birds and butterflies. Fata Morgana is a magical place. I hope I will be back there real soon.

    My second stay here...I love this place it is an oasis of calm; the airy cabanas are set in beautiful gardens, with the sweetest rescue animals to hang out with! All is very clean, the kitchen large, the internet stable (usually : ) ) and the owner very kind. I will definitely stay here again on my return.

    Hidden gem in Las Terrenas
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller

    This was not a problem for me but some people might find the place a bit far from north of las terrenas, where animation takes place with bars and restaurants. I was walking there pretty much every day and this is a 25 min walk, but moto taxi can bring you there quickly for a cheap price. On the other side, being a bit far from the North saves you from all the noise of the city, which is pretty impressive here :)

    Pretty much everything, this is a hidden gem in Las Terrenas if you're looking for peacefulness after a day at the beach or hanging out in the busy part of the city. The place only has a few small houses that you will feel like home. Animal lovers you will be in paradise :) The shared kitchen is a big plus, fully equiped. Not far from the place you can find people selling fruits and vegetables on the side of the road. Also the place is well located to go to playa bonita, it is a 25 min walk or 5-10 min with a moto taxi. Finally, it is the perfect place if you are a digital nomad or remote worker, and the internet connection is good enough for your daily tasks, including video calls.

    Sometimes at night loud music from neighbour hotel. Rooms need a bit renovation, kitchen equipment a little old and used.

    Rooms in nice little cottages in the garden, each with own terrace with a hammock, nice to spend time in. Shared kitchen with everything you need. About 30 minutes walk to 2 beaches, however many local stores and comedors nearby. Close to bus station. We planned to stay for 1 night and stayed for 3. The owner helped us plan 1 of the trips.

    You will have to like walking or arrange some transport like a bike or scooter.

    You can cook your own meals in the kitchen. Free water, key to open the front gate at any time, a library if you forgot to bring books. They have nice animals, dogs, cats and donkey's. I could pay with different currencies. A table and chair to create an office in the room. Lamp next to the bed. A good ventilator. I could talk in my own language with the host.
