Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Casa Cosón

Playa Cosón, Las Terrenas, Samaná, 32000, Dominican Republic

New life has been breathed into this small beachfront hotel, which had been on a long decline, making it a fun place to stay once again, and a good place to eat as well. It's attracting a younger crowd, who are leaving happy. All rooms in the two-story main house, including a full-floor suite with a canopy bed and luxurious bath, have balconies; some have ocean views. Other rooms are in separate buildings, including three thatch-roof bungalows that are well-suited to families or groups. Guests have use of a convivial bar and two restaurants, an inviting pool, an outdoor massage kiosk, and a wide lawn set with tables under coconut trees leading to the sands. Prices include breakfast, taxes, and Wi-Fi.
