Relaxing and beautiful place. Very friendly stuff. Food in the restaurant was okay (there isn't a wide range of options). As the rooms are not insulated you hear the neigbours very clearly.

Overall we had an enjoyable experience. We felt that given the cost, service could have been better at the restaurant. Our Villa pool wasn’t very clean and the hotel had the pool circulation off, making the pool look murky. A bit strange.

What I loved about Terrestre is how it pushes you into relaxation mode, its surrounded in nature yet right on the beach, relaxing small walks through the gardens forces you to relax and slow down. it is away from town so at first this seems like an inconvenience but it turns out to be a huge bonus because you really feel like just taking it easy, spending time at the quiet private beach and eating the beautiful food that was included for us. We stayed 2 nights in La Punta area and then 5 days at Terrestre and will definitely be back to Terrestre, of course there are things that seem like inconveniences like the lack of Air con - but the amazing concrete insulated abodes with thoughtful architectural design by 'Kallach' means it is hardly missed. Also I strongly suggest trying a tasting board at the mezcal bar next door 'Cobarde', Muchas Gracias!!

Fantastic place without pompousness or pretentiousness. The food is delicious. The beach club could be better equipped with loungers instead of just chairs. Even when busy, you still feel like you almost have the place to yourself.

Me encantó el hotel!! Es para relajarse y conectar con la naturaleza, el personal es muyyyy atento y amable, sin embargo si eres una persona calurosa que no puede vivir sin el aire acondicionado, no lo recomiendo, ya que sus instalaciones no cuentan con ello, en la descripción del hotel lo menciona, yo me fui preparada y me lleve un ventilador pequeño que me salvo la vida. Los demás dias la pasé increíble ya que me la pase en la alberca de la terraza del propio cuarto, por lo que corre bastante el aire por la altura. En cuanto al cuarto y hotel su arquitectura tiene un propósito, sin embargo en el cuarto, pueden entrar bichos, arañas, alacranes etc, yo viví con temor la última noche ya que vi camino al restaurante una tarántula y de regreso al cuarto afuera de mi puerta un alacrán. Y la regadera esta abierta por lo quebpueden entrar insectos al cuarto, es inevitable. Para ir a la playa o restaurante o cualquier lado tienes que pasar por caminos rodeados de maleza (el hotel esta construido con el propósito de respetar la naturaleza) asi que escucharas miles de ruidos de cangrejos o reptiles que se asustan cuando pasas por ahi. Aún asi volveria a ir, si pronto lo visitaras, recomiendo llevarte un miniventilador y repelente contra mosquitos con deet.

Terrestre made me fall in love with design again, and believe in the potential of beautiful architectural gestures. This, combined with the kindness of the staff (specifically the porters), the amazing food and the hammam experience which is included in the stay - makes this a place that goes beyond value! Thank you.

El servicio muy bien muy atentos, el lugar muy diferente y convives con la naturaleza... las habitaciones muy originales pero estan pegadas una a la otra. El restaurante espectacular nos sorprendieron gratamente con el gran sabor y cuidado a los detalles. Solo es para descansar. Si quieres algo mas activo faltan actividades. Tambien falta mayor variedad de bebidas. Felicidades a Crisencio, Kevin, Brian por su atención.

lugar excepcional

Un lugar increíble para desconectarse. Vale la pena la travesía para llegar. Espacios únicos, muy buen diseño. Muy amable y atento todo el personal, en especial Adolfo Hay que tomar en cuenta que al rededor hay prácticamente nada y contadas opciones para alimentos. Eso es lo mágico, el desconecte que se logra al llegar… Cuiden los alimentos que sirven. El último día y durante mi regreso, tuve problemas digestivos. Al parecer algo no estaba en buen estado
