Our family really enjoyed the time spent at the villa. Everything has been wonderful: the property, the comfort, the garden, the view, the staff and much much more!

House was well maintained and clean. Staf was awesome and went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our trip. Thank you!
4.9
Wow! This villa is absolutely gorgeous. At first it did sound almost too good to be true, beautiful villa with full staff? Yes! The staff is amazing and so attentive, we were reassured quickly that this Villa was the Real Deal! We will be returning.

Leading up to the stay, the hosts were open to answering any questions and the sent out a few documents so that we would know about the property.
Some odd things -
1) You cannot flush toilet paper. A few in my party of 7 had some issues with this. It is unusual for someone from the U.S., but common in the DR.
2) We were at the house from July 4-12, 2024, and it was very warm. Not having air conditioning in the living areas was uncomfortable. We kept the doors and windows open, but there was no cool breeze. It was warm and bugs flew in the house. All of us had numerous bug bites when we left. We closed up the house at dusk as the bugs were attracted to the house lights at night. They need to add air conditioning to the living areas like they have in the bedrooms.
3) Although having a chef sounds good, she wasn't willing to suggest meals. We asked her what her specialties were and what she liked to cook and she really wouldn't tell us. It was nice having a chef and someone to clean up from meals, but the meals were not wonderful. They were "fine" to "good".
4) The Cofresi beach is not a place where you want to chill out and relax. Don't plan on spending time there. You will spend your time at the pool at the house.
5) The house has a 5 gallon water dispenser. Make sure that you get plenty of bottles to use for toothbrushing and dish washing. You still have to pay, but it's cheaper and easier than individual bottles.
The house was nice, but we would not revisit. 7/10.

Absolutely Amazing! Our family enjoyed our stay to the fullest. I can not say enough about how great Tania, Yanny, and Narciso treated us. Royal treatment from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Tania's cooking is amazing. Everything we ate was delicious! Our family made wonderful memories. We visited Sosua Beach which was just gorgeous. We also did some horseback riding and enjoyed that experience with our guide Rafael. A few suggestions: bring a portable bidet, insect repellent,and anti inch topical bug cream. We were not fans pf the confressi beach, lots of rocks and seaweed. Visit Sosua for a wonderful beach experience. Many thanks to the staff at the villa for taking such good care of us and preparing delicious meals.

We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. Tania, Yany, and Narciso were there to greet us and help with the luggage. Tania and Yany had a delicious lunch of fried chicken, a fruit plate, and a salad...just one of many wonderfully tasty meals they made for us. The house is especially beautiful; true to the pictures. Great views of the ocean; it was very relaxing to sit in the rockers on the upstairs balconies, taking in the views while basking in the ocean breeze. The pool was sooo much fun; that is where we spent many hours. Narciso kept it so clean and refreshing. Chelo kept watch over the home at night to make sure everything was well.
We felt safe the whole time at the home and walking to the restaurants and beach. The restaurants are within a few minutes walking; all had great food and service.
Everyone we met in the area was kind and helpful…Like the taxi driver (manager) who gave us a ride back to the Villa when we got a little lost on our way back from a beach walk and ended up on the depot's doorstep asking for directions...so kind of him.
Thanks to Paul and Nancy for sharing your beautiful home, to Gabino for arranging our transport and making sure things ran smoothly, to Gustavo for arranging some relaxing massages, and to Tania, Yany, Narciso, and Chelo for taking such good care of us! We had a truly memorable family vacation at Villa de las Sirenas!

We absolutely enjoyed our time here at Villa Las Sirenas. Tonya, Joni, Narcisco, Gustavo and Gabino are all so amazing and welcoming. We throughly enjoyed all of our excursions and Gus made this all a breeze! (Paradise Island, Monkey Jungle, Dune Buggies through the jungle, Zipline, Fishing -Caught a Tuna- call High Zs and ask for Nelson! They leave right out of Ocean World, 27 Waterfalls! All of it was wonderful. Tonya's cooking was delicious 😋 😍 😌

The home & staff were all AMAZING. We weren’t sure at first how to feel about having other people with us all day but we loved them!They were all so attentive, kind, & fun with our personalities! Hopefully they felt the same about us:)The home was fabulous!!Every detail met with care.
On the “con” side of the stay, the beach area left much to be desired. The picture on the listing was not at all what we saw. Being on our honeymoon with friends we were all extremely disappointed. We got there when bus loads of people were partying, and the next morning the trash was littered EVERYWHERE, beach/ocean included. Between the seaweed (God’s nature) & the trash everywhere, we never got in the water or wanted to be near it even when it seemed to be sort of cleaned a couple days after.There are some small resorts and hut shops on the beach which also didn’t appear in the beach picture.
Our 1 beach day included a $60 round trip taxi ride to Sosua ~ 45 mins away & included lots of local heckling. So our “beach vacay” was mostly spent enjoying the house/pool & excursions which were awesome!! Do research on excursions before booking! Thank you Gus for everything!
I hate to say ANYTHING negative about our trip but I want people to know this is a LOCAL area (we wanted). There is a mini market & several restaurants (GREAT) w/ super nice locals!! We mostly ate Tania’s delish food cooked at the house! (Don Limon’s bar was so fun also).
Hearts from us —> staff:) I cried when leaving!

We spent 8 lovely days at the House of Mermaids. The home is beautiful, well appointed and the best are the staff. Tania, Yani, and Narciso take care of everything for you and are so welcoming and friendly. Gabino and the Stevens ensure you have the information needed for smooth entry into DR. Be prepared to be wowed and enjoy the view, the people and culture of DR.
We can’t wait to return!
4.9
The Villa is beyond beautiful. The staff exceeded any expectations we had. Tania and Yanny are fantastic cooks, Narciso was there for anything we needed, Gus hooked us up with fantastic excursions, and Gabino made sure our every need was taken care of from airport transport, extra snacks, and any concerns at the Villa. Owners Paul and Nancy were quick to respond to all questions, and they offer so much general information about the DR to help ease any travel nerves. They were so kind and thorough.
The beach is a short easy walk (and if you don’t want to walk, you can rent the golf cart at the Villa) It is beautiful with great waves for the kiddos, shops, eateries, rentals, etc.
I cannot recommend this villa enough. Do yourself a favor and book this villa for your stay!
4.9
The House of Mermaids was very accommodating for our party of 13. The staff was wonderful and easy to communicate with. The view was spectacular. Gabino had the house ready for our arrival with our choice of beverages and snacks. Gus helped us with horseback riding, ATVs, a city tour of Puerto Plata, snorkling and jumping off waterfalls. Tania was an excellent chef. Yani and Narciso kept the house, grounds and pool very clean. Chelo made us fell safe at night watching the property. The property was an excellent choice for privacy and located within short walks to shops and restaurants. We would recommend this house to anyone visiting the D.R.
4.9
Our family came to stay for a week to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. Our group absolutely had a fantastic time. The house was very clean, the food was prepared as we requested and the team were a joy. We did a few excursions (snorkeling and buggies) and could walk to Ocean World and some local restaurants very easily.
Some things that made our stay even better: we bought great microfiber towels (Amazon) that folded up very small, dried very quickly and easily repelled sand. Everyone in our party was also gifted a “personal bidet” (happypo brand, also from Amazon) which made the “no paper in the toilet” restriction very easy to adhere to.
Thank you for a wonderful visit!

The two couples had an amazing time at the Villa The staff made the stayi extra special with their kindness. Nothing was too much trouble. Tonya’s, meals were outstanding! The villa and pool were impeccable. Gabino, thank you for all your organizing with airport transfers. The trip was amazing. Everything was exactly as anticipated. The villa and grounds were beautiful, and the pool always clean. We could not have asked for better. Thank you, we loved it here! Will definitely be back!

Our family group of 6 had an excellent experience. The combination of great weather and fantastic support staff made our stay very relaxing and enjoyable. The location and home was exactly as pictured - very beautiful. Every evening we had a nice breeze from the ocean and were able to hang out and enjoy the nice patio. Having Tonia and staff prepare our meals made our vacation super easy. Our adult kids walked down to the beach and went out for cocktails - no issues at all and very authentic Dominican experience. Paul and Nancy were super helpful and responsive to all our questions. We will return to DR and enjoy again in the future.

The house and property are beautiful with breathtaking views. The staff were incredible and helpful. Tonya was welcoming and cooked as great meals during our stay. Loved every minute of our stay and would love to visit again in the future.

Amazing time with an amazing host! The villa was perfect for the accommodations we were looking for and the house staff was excellent.

Excellent staff made everything very enjoyable !!

We had a great stay at Villa de las Sirenas! The staff- Tania, Yanni and Naricso, they were friendly, helpful and very accommodating (thank you again!). Area was very quiet which was nice. And the home is beautiful and spacious; because of the weather naturally it can get warm and humid inside in the house during the day - having the doors open helps - so try to take advantage of the great pool and nearby beach; and the AC can be used at night so that is a huge help. Overall, my family, we really enjoyed this stay.
4.9
Beautiful house with nice pool, and nice staff. The home has plenty of space with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. It’s located a short walk from the beach, although the beach isn’t the best beach near Puerto Plata. Gus will help with any excursions or transportation. We really enjoyed ourselves and would come back if we go back to DR.
4.9
Our trip was amazing. The house was exactly as was depicted- just stunning. Tonya, Jonny, Narciso and Gabino were the best! Tonya’s food was delicious!! Paella, chicken, rice and beans….all on point.
We would absolutely visit again! Thank you for such a great vacation!

The place is fabulous and the staff is unbelievable... it was the best vacation!

Everything was great we enjoyed our time with family in the home and having activities booked was very easy
4.9
The house was amazing. We spent more time than I thought at the Villa. It's perfect. Add the outstanding staff and this property is the ideal vacation villa. Gus set up perfect tours and gave us plenty of advice to decide which excursions would work best for our group. I would definitely rent this Villa again. The property owners and staff assistance with the travel tips, getting around and area suggestions were also very helpful when leaving the property. Thank you all for everything during our stay!!!
4.9
Everything was great! We agreed that this would be a great place to return to!
4.9
Such a beautiful home! We had a wonderful time. It was a real treat to have the staff preparing our food and keeping the place spotless. My favorite part was sitting on the upstairs porch with the breeze from the ocean washing over me.
If you're looking for activity, you'll have to book adventures through Gus or another travel planner. These choices are fun, but definitely designed for the tourist. I recommend the ATV trip - ideal for teens!
We were able to book a fishing excursion, bring home the fresh fish, and have Tania cook it for us. Awesome!
If order to get off the beaten track, you'll need to be bilingual and to book with a local taxi driver. This is NOT the place to rent a car and attempt to navigate on your own. Traffic rules are non existent here. Also, be prepared to witness all the bumps and bruises of society - prostitutes, pollution, police armed with machine guns...
If you're up for adventure, though, this is an amazing home do be based at. Thank you, Paul and Nancy!

Everything about our stay was amazing! Tanya and the rest of the staff were friendly and helpful, and Gus was both helpful and accommodating with our excursions and massages.
Tanya had picked up groceries and made dinner for our arrival, and we even went to the store with her to get a more authentic Dominican Experience. Everything she made us was delicious and the house was kept very clean.
The pool was fantastic for our two tweens to play in and the view of the ocean from the backyard was beautiful. The beach was also lovely to swim in and if you look for the rockier sand you can also find sea glass.
We brought cash but also went to the ATM at ocean world to get money for our excursions and poolside massages.
You will not be disappointed with your stay!

It was just wonderful. The staff went above and beyond and we had a great time

From the moment of booking to check out everything was perfect! Tonya did an amazing job along with the rest of the staff! Had zero problems booking adventures or taxis! Highly recommend staying here and letting them cater to you! An amazing experience!

View and house were spectacular! Tonya, Yanny, Narcisso were all accommodating and a pleasure to be with. Any issue (no water) was dealt with immediately. The meals were excellent. What a treat not to have to cook. Pina Colodas were delicious. Can’t say enough about how royally we were treated by the staff.

We had a great trip to the DR and the villa was great! The staff really made the trip fantastic. Tonya is an amazing cook and everyone took care of us throughout our entire stay. Would recommend with no hesitation!
4.9
This is the 3rd time we’ve visited the villa and each time is always a great experience. The staff is top notch and I can’t say enough good things about the staff. The food is one of the main reasons we come back and the service at the house. They accommodate all of our requests and make sure you feel like you are staying at your own home. We feel the staff I’d like our extended family. The only thing I would say is that I wish screens can be installed on all the outside doors so we can enjoy the fresh air without the bugs and mosquitoes. We were eatin alive this time. We didn’t realize that it was mosquito season. But that would be my only feedback. Everything else was amazing. We will be back soon!
4.9
We had a lovely time. the pictures match the property. Tonya took great care of us. Gus came to setup the excursions. Gus also made sure we had lunch one day after the excusrion. We had a beautiful couples massage on the balcony! We felt so well taken care of. The views are spectacular!
4.9
It was great. The staff was great. The house was also great. The whole experience was amazing.
4.9
The property was exactly as advertised. Tonya and crew are amazing (don’t miss her braised pork chops). The beach nearby is not terribly clean but the view and water are beautiful and the Villa is a great launching spot for all the local attractions. The excursions manager makes planning activities seamless. Highly recommended!
4.9
The villa is beautiful was true to the pictures advertised. Tanya & Jani are the best their attention & communication is amazing anything you need they are available to provide or suggest. The food they cook is delicious you will not be disappointed. We spend much of our day enjoying the pool. Everything was kept very clean to which is a big plus when looking for a place to stay. It’s quiet not much noise from the resort so it was relaxing & peaceful. My only complaint are the mosquitoes the repellent was like sugar to them.
4.9
This villa is absolutely stunning. The communication never waiver. The last minute driving is a bit off road so we were mindful when driving out in the dark. The MOSQUITOS will devour you with no rest. If we weren't physically in the pool or in the bedroom with AC, no repellant can save us. This villa is a dream and I wish the mosquitos situation could be fixed. I would gladly return back then.
4.9
This was our third trip to this Villa. It’s always amazing. The staff is top notch. Tonya’s cooking is amazing. Let her cook you typical Dominican breakfast. You won’t be sorry. Yanni is so attentive to all your needs. Narciso is an excellent worker. He keeps the pool pristine! Gustavo was so easy to work with on excursions. Highly recommend for the perfect vacation!
