I have to agree with you, "Playa Colibri" is one of the best hotels in Las Terrenas. The apartments are big with a full kitchen, but we don't bother to cook because the restaurant on the premises serves fantastic meals.
The chef-fisherman(he catches the fish every morning) prepared some of the best meals we have ever ate in DR. The meals were inexpensive, too. For example a lunch for two consisting of 2 panini sandwiches, 2 presidente and 2 expresso for less then $8usd(January 2004). The Chef is italian, so every meal is with an Italian touch, a little more garlic, more oregono, antipasto, fresh pasta, etc. Average dinner cost was less then $25usd for two, without wine or beer, but with expresso cafe.
Ooops, this supossed to be about hotels in Las Terrenas and I am rambling about the good food at Playa Colibri restaurant.....sorry.
