Donoma Las Terrenas Beach Hotel & Spa, Autograph Collection
Great hotel property. Excellent pool, common areas and restaurant/bar. Well designed and appointed rooms. The problem is the A/C in the room. Not enough capacity and it was always warm inside. This is only March. In summer it will be unbearable .
