Las Terrenas is one of those Caribbean towns that earns its reputation quietly, and this apartment puts you right inside it – within a secure condominium with direct beach access from the grounds. The shared infinity pool sits steps from the front door, and a clubhouse restaurant on-site means breakfast to dinner is covered without leaving the complex. Back inside, the covered balcony catches the warm breeze above the palms, and the layout works well for families or groups – two en-suite bedrooms, plus a mezzanine sofa bed in the second room for younger guests.
