This apartment complex, is operated as a hotel, and it does meet the expectations of a seasoned traveler that wants to relax, and expects comfortable accommodations. The apartments are well maintained, the public areas are very clean, and the restaurant more than meets the expectations. A few steps away from a beautiful beach, and plenty of parking space, should you arrive by car.
In short, you will not receive any unpleasant surprises, which is the minimum one can expect during a vacation.
I certainly do recommend it, is just a shame that there are no elevators, because not everyone enjoys going up and down the stairs, if you happen to get a third floor apartment.

Our group stayed at Hotel Alisei for several nights during January 2012. We stayed in both a 2 bedroom unit facing the pool & a 1 bedroom unit facing the office/reception desk. The rooms are fantastic with comfortable beds and a/c's in the bedrooms, big fans in both the kitchen/living area and even outside on the terrace making it very comfortable. The bathrooms are very spacious, the kitchens have just about everything you would need. The only thing is they do not have microwaves or ovens so just cooktop and refrigerator of course. They provide a large water dispenser so you always have cold, clean water on hand....a very nice feature. Dining table inside as well as on the terrace in the 2 bedroom unit. Both terraces had a hammock for relaxing and an area for lounging. Terrific breakfast buffet included in the price at their restaurant on site, which is also open for lunch and dinner. Hotel is directly across from the beach and most rooms have some view of the ocean from the terrace. The pool was very nice and even had a swim up bar but I never actually saw it open (more people have to be on site before they open). The spa building looked beautiful, only wish we had time to enjoy their services. The beaches get better the further you go down the road, away from town but the beach area in front of the hotel is very nice too. The free internet on site was great when we were on the right side facing the pool but was terrible when we were on the left side facing the office/restaurant, we had to be in a certain place on the terrace to get internet. The staff are all very nice and very accomodating. Short walk to restaurants and shops. A bit pricey but if you are looking for the little extras, this place will feel like home.

We stayed her over Christmas and were able to get the last room available - the penthouse room. Sounds great, but really just one room with a small balcony (no kitchen, but did have a fridge). This particular room set-up is meant as a 2nd or 3rd bedroom for one of the other apartments. It is clean, simple and ok considering the whole area was sold out. I would certainly consider coming back to this property but would stay in one of the larger rooms with a sizeable balcony, etc. Nice pool, nice location, decent breakfast.

Stayed here for 3 nights, very impressive room. We got a big balcony facing the ocean and it has a hammock, couch and dining! it was just fantastic for a family stay(2 adults and kid). We didn't use the kitchen, but loved the option of having accommodation with living, kitchen, room and 2 balconies!
The beach is also fabulous, at this time of the year there were fewer tourists and this location was ideal for us to get to other parts of Las Terrenas.
We only had breakfast here and it was quite decent.
