The three-pearl Chalet Tropical Village perfectly matches its sleepy,
tropical surroundings. The property consists of handful of wooden villas perched on grassy slopes with hammocks scattered all about,
just begging guests to take a nap. The owner’s touch reaches every corner, not just in the quirky eco-lodge design of the five villas -- each of which has its own kitchen -- but also in helping guests choose their activities. Free breakfast and free Wi-Fi are nice perks, but other features are limited. The hotel is rustic and ecological -- there’s no plastic anywhere in sight, few TVs, and air-conditioning is only available in one villa. For something right on the ocean with a pool in Las Galeras, travelers should consider Villa Serena Hotel, though rates may be higher.
