Gardens were amazing. Gym was a bit small. Bathroom was dated. Shower leaked out into the rest of the bathroom and shower head wasn’t very good.
The hotel came highly rated and in some ways I can see why. The amenities are beautiful and very high end. However the hotel felt very stuffy, uptight and not as “comfortable” as we would have hoped. It may have been fine if we stayed there first on our trip but we stayed at an incredible property on the west side of the island first. We actually left Terra Nostra early and returned to the other one. Overall we just did not feel very welcomed at the property and it was just not warm.
Very nice place to stay with access to gardens and hot springs without public. Rooms were comfortable, parking available and nice restaurant, along with other restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommend!
Our stay was fabulous. From the moment we checked in to checkout. The breakfast was very good as well. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Would love to go back.
We had a really wonderful stay here. We enjoyed the hotel restaurant and went to the outdoor bar every night. The room was nothing too special, but we enjoyed our little balcony, it was quite clean, and housekeeping service was excellent. The parking lot is small and it filled up by the end of the day, but the staff helped us squeeze into a spot. The access to the gorgeous facilities and the small touches of the service made it well worth the price. We did not want to leave.
Terra Nostra's garden alone is worth it! The service is top-notch and the access to the garden and pools in off-hours is priceless. We loved the staff, amenities (AMAZING breakfast), and general atmosphere. This is a hidden gem in the middle of the Atlantic with very kind staff.

Quite how to best describe this property escapes us. Think tranquil garden plus 5 star amenities all wrapped up in to one amazing biophylic and geothermal experience. Definitely do the thermal pools, especially at night. Don't sleep on the pool, sauna and Turkish bath but especially take some time to stroll through the huge garden.
Right at the Nostra Terra park and with easy parking. They have a pretty Terrace with light bites and live music. The hotel is located with easy access to the Eastern area of the island About 1 hour from the airport.
Loved this hotel in every way. Super comfortable bed, loved the 24/7 access to the gardens, excellent spa treatment, great meals at the restaurants - top notch all around
