From arriving to the AZS airport, being transported to the house by vans (8 of us), to being greeted at the most gorgeous home - WOW!! The view is phenomenal and there is most definitely a constant breeze through the house. Every room was beautiful and very well maintained. Cleaning staff was busy every weekday keeping the house sparkling clean. The house manager was also very helpful! We decided on ATVs as our mode of transportation (and loved it), which the house manager had there ready for us. He also scheduled whale watching for us, which was AMAZING! I wouldn’t want to go with any other company than who he set us up with - so knowledgeable and we saw so many whales!! This house is in a gated community and the house itself has its own gate. Though not once did we feel unsafe in Las Terrenas. It is a lovely town/city with hustle and bustle, but where we were, just outside the main area, was very laid back and relaxing. We hired the chef for breakfasts and a couple other meals - incredible food and lots of it!! Only Spanish speaking. We had them make us cocktails a couple times and they were phenomenal - fresh squeezed everything!! The various guards at the entrance to the community were very friendly - many a fist bump was given as we went through the gate on our ATVs. We even gave them coffee and snacks here and there. USD/credit cards worked well. Cannot say enough positive about this place! Also, do make your way to Porto and Playa Bonita - nice places!
