The house was beautiful although there were some deferred maintenance issues which did not affect our enjoyment of the property. The view and sunsets were incredible.
The check in process was confusing. For some reason they were under the impression that we were arriving at 8:00 pm when we received an email stating that the house would be available at 4:00 pm. They seemed to be quite angry about this. We never received a tour of the property although we asked this.
On the other hand Randy did a great job handing the van service as the incoming flights were constantly changing due to weather issues.
Patricia showed up reliably and she kept the place clean and was a delight to have around. She was always asking if she could do anything for us.
Some of us had mosquito issues and the water seemed to be brackish as it was difficult to lather up with soap. .
Overall we loved the place and it was a very good value for the money. It was a perfect location for a family reunion.

Location and house is incredible, spectacular view and neighborhood. Close to the beach and restaurants. Great for families. The food prepared was incredible. However not all linens and towels were clean. Sand was found on some beds, towels were smelling horrible. The house was dirty especially the showers. The house needs maintenance and cleaning above all, even the glasses smell bad. It's a shame because the attention and the place is incredible.

The place was beautiful, clean, and Patricia offered wonderful service. It was also great to be able to get Daniel's team to cook, and easy to get some massage sessions and advice and reservations for touristic activities through Jacques.
Isabelle, the owner was also very responsive.
This was a wonderful vacation, and we would go back to Casa Kala Kala in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful time at Casa Kala Kala. The location is lovely and the house is very comfortable and was perfect for our family of 11 (8 adults and 3 teens). Breakfasts prepared by Patricia were the best! Communication with the owner (Isabelle) and manager (Jacques) was always easy, timely, and useful. We’ll definitely be back!

This place was a perfect getaway for my family and I. The fact that 3 of the bedrooms were separated from the main house was perfect. They were still all close together but also provided privacy. Our morning breakfasts were so beautiful with the beautiful panoramic view. At night we watched the moon from the front steps of the house and the amazing sunset from the Pool area of the house. It was perfect. Chef Daniel and Patricia were amazing. (Please ask for the Fried fish with passion fruit sauce...it was out of this world!!!) Patricia helped us everyday with chopping amazing fruits for breakfast and helped us keep the house nice and tidy for our stay. Chef Daniel always had great ideas of food and we enjoyed every meal. We had my dad (76 years old ) and my aunt (88 years old) with us on this trip and they enjoyed their stay as well...it was easy for them to walk around the house and whenever we wanted to go to town we would just take a quick drive or call a cab. We also went with 2 children..one 7 years old and the other 9. Both children are swimmers and they never left the pool. The beach is also about a 15 min walk down a path (Just ask anyone....everyone is very nice within the community) The beaches are beautiful all around the area. This is a beach house and it is well taken care of .Hope to go back and visit soon. Many blessings to the owners :)

The property is gorgeous and the pictures are accurate. The staff was attentive and very responsive. The chef meals were the absolute highlight 5-star restaurant quality. It was lovely to sit down w the staff and take a lot of time to plan our meals.
Recommendations: rent a car or arrange for local taxi service — the local supermarket is awesome but a hike. Same for the town shops and beaches. Recommend finding a local taxi driver — arranging through the property is more expensive. As for supermarket, much more convenient to stock up as needed than to send the chefs/communicate through middle man for snacks. The beach is a hike too. The property is on the top of a HUGE hill, hence the breathtaking views. But the walk to the beach is not convenient or doable for the very young/old or for hauling stuff.
Also key — bring mosquito nets for the kids room at least. It’s all open air and next to the bathroom, which is naturally damp. The mosquitoes can be oppressive.
And unfortunately the pool was a no go for those w sensitive skin (applied to our kids). Not sure if it was differences in water or what but it was a bummer. The host was lovely though and gave us a credit.
Overall, lovely, paradise, but a little more adventurous than a typical resort (in a negative and positive way).

Our family was very happy with our stay at Casa Kala Kala. So happy that we've already booked again for 2020. Highlights include: Patricia's breakfasts, incredible sunrise and sunsets, and the wonderful layout of the property. We rented ATV's from the bottom of the hill to get the matriarch (85 year old grandmother) back and forth to the beach and restaurants. That worked perfectly for her, the rest of us enjoyed the short walk (13 minutes to the beach). We had a group of 13 family members from age 22 to 85, and everyone was very happy at Villa Kala Kala. Our favorite group area was outside on the patio by the pool and at the dining table where we played many games. The TV came in handy one night - when we were able to get a "play-off" football game which made the sporty part of our group happy. Daniel and his crew provided many wonderful meals for us. It was so nice to enjoy the whole day, and not have to worry about dinner and cleaning up the kitchen. His crew was fabulous. Edoardo, our local contact, was always available when we had a question, and he arranged the shuttle vans to and from Santo Domingo airport seamlessly. I found that taking the US Dollar was helpful - as everyone seemed to want Cash for everything (meals by daniel, ATVs, shuttle etc). So bring cash, or get ready to hit the ATM frequently - but the ATMs only let you take out $10,000 pesos per day - which is roughly $200. We loved this very beautiful, and special home so much that we can't wait to come back in 2020.

A group of friends and work colleagues came to the house to hang out, work on laptops, explore and relax. The space was perfect for the time spent together and apart. The house chefs made wonderful local fare at our request, and the meals were one of the highlights. The space is clean, fresh, very comfortable, and very stylish. We want to come back with family as well. Just perfect.

This house was great with the most amazing views in the front and back of the house. My family really enjoyed our two night stay. It’s a great place to checkout from life’s everyday stresses.
Chef was good but miscommunication on timing. Be very clear when you want to be eating. Bring extra food and snacks to have throughout the day. We also requested massages. We had two ladies come for hour massages for $30! So worth it.
Pros- The views, pool, Chef, spacious, private location and sunsets. It’s like sleeping in a open treehouse.
Cons- No air conditioning, weak water pressure, very salty water(but you are by the sea) weak WiFi signal ( good if you want to be off the grid). It’s like sleeping in an open treehouse so hear all the night creatures at work. Bring earplugs if you want to good nights sleep.
Make sure to have your name registered before getting there because the guard is a stickler.

Nous revenons d'un séjour d'une semaine à la Casa Kala Kala, nous étions un groupe de 13 personnes, 6 adultes et 9 ados/jeunes adultes, la villa de bois de style tropical, possède une vue surprenante et hallucinante sur les montagnes et ses levers de soleil, la végétation luxuriante, l’océan et les couchers de soleil. Toutes les pièces de la villa ont une vue sur l'océan à couper le souffle. Pour la location J’ai communiqué avec Isabelle la propriétaire, via Homeaway, la réponse de cette dernière fut rapide et elle a très bien répondu a toute mes questions. Lors du séjour, une solide équipe prends charge des visiteurs :- Jacques de AIC Dominicana a envoyé un chauffeur qui nous a transporté de l'aéroport vers la villa. Ce dernier nous attendais sur place pour l’accueil et a répondu à toutes nos questions. De plus il était notre guide touristique durant la semaine ; - Patricia se présentait tous les matins avec les courses afin de prendre charge du déjeuner, du diner et de l'entretien de la villa ; - Pour terminer Daniel et sa femme Fabiola s'occupaient des courses pour le repas du soir et nous préparaient des repas 4 services digne d'un grand chef.Les espaces sont suffisantes pour un groupe de 14, plusieurs parties sont plein soleil tandis que d'autres sont à l'ombre, la partie salle à manger et salon extérieur est protégée par une toiture si jamais il pleut. La piscine à débordement était appréciée de tous, elle n’est pas chauffée mais étant plein soleil, la température était parfaite pour les journées chaudes et humides que nous avons eues.L'accès à la plage Las ballenas se fait très bien à pieds en une dizaine de minutes, si vous êtes plus aventureux il est possible de se rendre à la plage Escondida, demandez aux agents de sécurité l'accès par le chemin de Loma bonita, il s'agit d'une plage déserte entre deux rochers. Il faut marcher dans la forêt, l’effort vaut le détour.Nous avons eu un excellent voyage, nous étions à notre deuxième séjour à Las Terrenas dans une villa à Bonita Village, le quartier est très sécuritaire gardiens 24h, il est possible de marcher jusqu’au village, ou d’y aller en moto taxi. Sur place tout est là, plusieurs restaurants, 2 épiceries (Super Pola et Lindo), boulangerie française etc. etc. Nous avons adoré la Casa Kala Kala et avons déjà hâte à notre retour à Bonita Village.Dominic et cie

Excellent villa with outstanding views. Very nice interiors/ exteriors. We were 6 adults and 7 pre-teens/teens and the villa
was perfect for us. The pool was nice and again the views! A short max 10min walk down to the beach, really nice, not crowded and felt safe. You could walk on the beach to the small city centre, and stop for refreshment on the way at one of several beach bars. There’s taxi service also if you don’t like to walk. We had lunch at the beach, the restaurant closest to the villa was good.
We went surfing to Caroline’s surf School, on Bonita beach right down from the villa. You need a ride here because you have to go around the mountain, this place is worth a visit if you like to surf! Everything we needed, rides, whale watching etc. the house manager Eduardo fixed it. He was really helpful and fast to reply. The chef made good food and Patricia made us excellent breakfast with lots of fresh fruits.
The area is safe, there’s guards at the gate and all around the Bonita village.
We really liked villa Kala Kala and the whole Samana “island”. This is definitely a house worth a visit!!
Thank you Isabelle&co!!

Everything with one exception was on or above what we had hoped for. The only complaint we have is the small room below the pool. This room was very humid and not really nice to live in. It is a fantastic house and view. Thank you! Kristina

This home was stunning; as pictured, or better. All open so you can enjoy near-360 degree views. We had someone to greet us at the house upon our very early morning arrival and a staff member from the rental agency available at all times if we had questions. The beds were very comfortable, plenty of bathrooms and showers with hot water, and a variety of room types for those that wanted to be more secluded. The housekeeper fixed breakfast and cleaned the entirety of the home every day which was lovely to come home to. The only thing to be aware of is that some of the locks on the house were very difficult to use and sometimes stuck - an issue which they remediated once pointed out. Check those upon arrival and let the agency know if any issues. The only other issue was deciding which of the multiple outdoor seating areas to use for our happy hours!! Highly recommend this home and looking forward to visiting again.

What can I say: this house has it all. We were a group of 13 adults, 2 children, and 6 dogs, and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The house comfortably slept and fed us for the weekend. We greatly appreciated the sense of privacy that we had as well as ease of access to town and the local beaches. Perhaps the only "downside" (if you want to call it that) was that the wifi didn't work especially well for most of us, but we weren't really there to get lost in our technology, so I can't really say that it was much of a drawback at all. As we live in Santo Domingo, we plan on making this a regular retreat. Thank you so much for hosting us and for giving us such a memorable weekend!
