Best Vacation of My Life
This trip could not have been any better. I've traveled all over the world during my 20+ year military career and Sunrise Villa ranks at the top of my most enjoyable experiences. First of all, the Dominican Republic is a gorgeous and friendly country. The people are kind and eager to assist at all times. Kevin Potter has created a paradise in the midst of an already beautiful setting. Sunrise Villa is perfectly positioned to capture the true beauty of the island while offering all the amenities you would expect from a top tier resort. It has the feel of home, perfect for both a family with kids or adult getaway. The staff of Sunrise Villa go out of their way to make your stay perfect. Taking a page out of the playbook of Mr. Walt Disney, they are never in the way but always there when you need them. Sunrise Villa offers connections to many other getaway options. I took advantage of a three hour four-wheeler tour into the mountains offered from Everything Under the Sun Tours. Chris and team have a variety of options for all tastes and adventure levels. Our escorted excursions into the town and local beaches gave us even more flavor of the culture of the city, something I cherish as a person who loves to see humanity. I cannot end this without talking about the food. If you like fresh seafood every day, well prepare to be in Heaven. Many mornings I sat in perfect solitude enjoying the view of the namesake enjoying my cup of joe while watching tiny fishing vessels, often 1-2 manned, heading out to fish. When they returned with their catch that afternoon, Sunrise Villa chef (Frank) would select the evenings meal plan. Fresh Mahi-Mahi and some of the biggest Red Snapper I have ever seen were a daily addition to the menu. Juices squeezed from fresh fruits, the purest and tastiest meats and cheeses, you name it. It was just awesome. All in all, it was an amazing trip and I can't wait to return!

Amazing from start to finish.
Near Southeast Community Partners is a Washington DC based organization that supports schools and the environment. We decided to hold a retreat at the villa to plan for future growth, team building and more. It was the best decision that we could have made.
As a result of the surroundings, we accomplished everything the we set out to do. We have a plan for the future, a new outlook on our mission and are excited for what we can accomplish going forward.
We arrived at the villa to a staff waiting to greet us with open arms, ushered us to the Mañana bar for a welcome drink and we had a wonderful dinner overlooking the pool and beach. Each meal was exceptional. We combined work with fun and relaxation. All of our meetings ran over and we found that no one was looking at their watches. Some of our directors went on a scuba diving trip and we all explored the wonders of Cabrera and surrounding area lead by the staff at the villa.
If your organization is looking to hold a retreat, why sit in a conference room with a view of 4 walls when you can look at the pool and the ocean? Why not stay in a place that is exclusive to your group?
The only downside to going to the villa is leaving when the trip is over.
The property, staff and surroundings are amazing and our group is already planning a return trip.
Thank you for an experience we will never forget.

Third Time and Still a Charm!
Just returned from my third trip to Sunrise Villa, and it was as amazing as ever. Great food, accommodations, and people. Of course, massages and pedicures were part of the trip. Loved the half day outing to various local attractions, and the lunch at Playa Preciosa. How do I spell relaxation? Sunrise Villa.

Best vacation ever!!
The wonderful setting, the great and attentive staff, everything was perfect. I especially liked having separate buildings or floors for each couple. That allowed for the ultimate in privacy. The food was simple, but very healthy and delicious. Each breakfast, lunch, and dinner were different, no duplications. The spa and pool were always the perfect temperature too. I was also surprised at the daily laundry service. Next time, I can limit my packing to just a few things. I totally would recommend this place to family and friends.

Just...AMAZING
This was our 2nd visit to Sunrise Villa and AGAIN this place exceeded all expectations. Absolutely fantastic!! The staff is simply amazing greeting us as we arrived and actually knowing our names from our visit last year. That is very special. When choosing a destination, I'm the type of person who does MAJOR research before deciding and this place tops all by far. You will not be disappointed.
The accommodations are very clean and beautiful...the grounds are spectacular. The food and drink is top notch!...quality, fresh and delicious!! Manana Bar rocks!...Ramon is the best bartender in the world.
There is much to see and do outside the villa and the staff will arrange anything and everything...local restaurants, beautiful local beaches, lagoons, horseback riding on the beach, fishing...you name it. You just give the staff your need and they set it all up...you just enjoy!!
This place is a must...look no further.
Another awesome vacation...thank you Kevin and Jeanne (sunrise villa owners) and many thanks to the villa staff.

Heaven on earth
Our second trip to heaven on earth. We arrived at Sunrise Villa to the same familiar smiling faces and clapping hands. Greeted with hugs and all around love from the incredible staff. Ramon had beautiful cocktails waiting and our bags disappeared to our private villas within seconds. The hospitality never ends.
We traveled with a group of six couples as we did the year before and this year we stayed in the Samana Suite. Trust me....all of the private villas are absolutely stunning but this one is almost beyond words. Sits at the peak of the property on a high cliff overlooking the ocean. Private veranda, gardens, outdoor shower and beautiful jacuzzi tub.
The property was designed perfectly to accommodate hanging out as a group or retreating to a little private peacefulness. A tropical jungle beach is all of yours to enjoy. It is just steps down the beautiful coral cliffs that the villa sits on. Mr. Chris will take care of having chairs and refreshments brought down for you....it's a perfect spot to enjoy some quiet time or exploring. This is the most beautiful beach I have ever visited by far.
You can hear the lunch bell from the beach! When you hear the bell it is time to feast. Chef Frank and his kitchen staff put out a spread every meal that will leave you more than satisfied. Full on breakfast everyday....local seafood and meats ,fresh veggies and fruits, pastas and stews are all plentiful and delicious. He is an amazing cook and will cater to any of your culinary needs with a smile.
Many nights spent singing and dancing over a few cocktails at the Manana Bar. Floating in the hot tub was my favorite pastime this year...especially in the evening. We visited a few local restaurants and beaches. This is all coordinated by staff....no worries. They were fun but you really do not need to leave the Villa....ever!!
Much thanks and love to all the staff....Mr. Chris, Ramon, Chef Frank, Sandy, Rosa (best masseuse ever!), Vivianna and Papito..I know I am forgetting a few. We will see you next year!!! xo

I Repeat, Perfect Every Time!
This was the sixth trip to Sunrise Villa for my wife and I. We went with close friends -- 6 couples in total. As in prior years, Sunrise Villa never fails to please. Relaxation and as much adventure as we wanted, all in one trip!
The staff makes you feel at home and the food -- all fresh local dishes by chef Frank --- is fantastic. And plenty of it! Chris, the manager, seems to never be satisfied until everyone is smiling big every day! And Ramone, the bartender, is the definition of service with a smile -- whether at the Manana bar or delivering to us loungers around the pool!
The beach is huge and pristine - a great place to gather shells or just lounge. We also traveled to a nearby public beach this trip (Playa Caleton -- beautiful!) to get some crafts from local artists and a beach side lunch as well.
The town of Cabrera also has its own treats and entertainment, especially, Manny's -- an ocean front bar/restaurant with a spectacular owner/chef.
Despite some heavy partying, we were rested every day, ready for either a do-nothing day or some local touring and shopping. Usually end the days dancing to music around the Manana bar until the wee hours! This place makes you want to stay up all night! But when exhaustion hits, the beds and sheets are the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Kept the windows and doors open every night -- sleeping to the wonderful breeze and sound of the ocean.
This place is a piece of heaven. Thank you Kevin for designing such an incredible getaway and tropical paradise that always delivers and keeps us coming back! The glow from our vacations here lasts for weeks!

A bucket list must! Unbelievable!!!!!!!
If we went on fifty vacations we could never find another Sunrise Villa. Possibly the most beautiful place on the planet. The accommodations were nothing less than totally impressive. The facility, food, and staff where unsurpassed! Ramon the bartender is a pleasure and makes the Villa home for everyone. What a place! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to just relax and enjoy the most peaceful place on earth. We can't wait to visit again. Thanks Kevin and staff it was a dream vacation!

Love Sunrise Villa!
This was the 3rd year for our annual girls getaway at Sunrise Villa. The minute we drove up to the villa we were greeted by the wonderful Sunrise Villa staff. I must say, it is like coming back to visit dear friends, lots of hugs and big smiles -- we instantly fell into vacation mode and Ramon was there to serve up his specialty cocktails, of course with his adorable charm! Ramon, Sandy, Frank, Pepito, Rosa and Chris are all so kind and treat us like family! Kevin, the owner, is extremely helpful and very responsive. The villa is so special -- it really is a retreat in so many ways. The views are just beautiful and the landscape makes you feel like you are worlds away. Relaxing by the pool, a walk on the beach, enjoying the hot tub while looking out towards the ocean, it truly defines relaxation. My favorite part is that it is not in a touristy area, there are no big hotels around. You really get a sense of the area and enjoy the beauty of Cabrera. It is a special place! We look forward to going back again in 2018! Can't wait!

Unsurpassed relaxation and beauty
All I should really say is that this was our 3rd time visiting Sunrise for our annual girls weekend of 18! Just the thought of pulling up in front of the beautiful villa and having Chris, Sandy, and the wonderful Sunrise crew waiting on the porch to welcome us keeps us coming back. But, it certainly doesn't stop there. As soon as you have a hunger pang, delicious fresh food mysteriously appears and Ramon is manning the bar ready to whip up everyone's favorites, even if there are 18 different ones!
The rooms are lovely and clean, some with outdoor showers. Rosa's massages are a treat and not to be missed. The entire setting is beautiful and conducive to relaxing.
Can't wait to go back in 2018!

Utopia!
Wow, I don’t even know where to start. Simply amazing! Best vacation ever.
My wife and I visited Sunrise Villa with 7 other couples and were treated like royalty beyond our expectations. Right from the start upon arrival we were greeted by the Sunrise staff and were made to feel comfortable and welcome immediately!! The entire staff continued to impress us with courteous service and hospitality above and beyond…everyday!
The food was 5 star quality all week…every meal. I love seafood and I the dishes served was by far the freshest and tastiest I’ve ever had. Breakfast always included fresh squeezed fruit juices…the lunches and dinners were always perfectly cooked and presented (and I tend to be a food snob). It got to the point where you couldn’t wait for the lunch/dinner bell to ring.
The design and layout of the villa itself was well thought out. The open concept throughout the main house is comfortable and very inviting allowing for shade if wanted or needed, and cover during a shower. Not to mention this is the location of the Manana Bar (my favorite), which ended up being the most popular meeting and hanging spot in the villa. Kudos to Ramon the bartender, who took care of the group with exotic drinks upon request and always at the ready for pleasant conversation. The guest villas are gorgeous, spacious and meticulously clean.
Chris, the on-site manager, catered to our every whim and never once disappointed. From the trip downtown to Cabrera for local shopping; the day trip to Playa Grande Beach (a picturesque beach which also included a white linen lunch on the beach…of lobster and chicken!!); dinner and dancing at a local Cabrera staple called Manny’s and a delicious Italian dinner at Entre Amigos…all arranged by Chris and the Sunrise staff.
The staff also provides massage, manicures and pedicures…onsite! I had a beautiful massage on the villa cliff overlooking the ocean…it was amazing.
In closing, the best part about Sunrise Villa experience is that you NEVER worry about details. Chris and the staff handle EVERY detail based on your recommendation and desire. You just sit back and enjoy the experience.
If you want a touristy, crowded, overpriced location, go somewhere else…if want a relaxing, no hassle, no worry UTOPIA choose Sunrise Villa.

Tropical Paradise!
We were invited to vacation here with a group of friends and their families. It was the best vacation we have ever had! The location is a tropical heaven, with perfect balance of ocean, beach and jungle. It literally is where the jungle meets the ocean. The beach is surrounded by coral cliffs and lined with palm trees. Perfect spot to relax with family and friends. Each time we ventured down to the ocean the staff eagerly packed up a cooler with snacks and drinks....made sure chairs were set up perfectly for all of us. The property is spectacular....a beautiful home set up for optimal views and total comfort. The villas are scattered throughout the property, each with its own uniqueness and charm. We stayed in the Garden suite and woke up each morning to a view of orchid gardens and jungle...beautiful! The staff will take care of absolutely everything you need. They tend to you on the property and make sure everything is handled for you if you choose to venture off for dinner, drinks at Mannys or one of the many local adventures. Nothing is overlooked. The food.....cooked fresh every meal with all of the local offerings. We had everything and it was all outstanding. I arrived hungry and after our first meal I was never hungry again...they just keep feeding you. Ramon at the bar will become your best friend. The best bartender in Cabrera! Mr. Chris, the concierge, is a local expert on all things and will make sure whatever need or desire is taken care of. He takes care of his guests and staff....you can feel the love! Oh....the massages, table set up wherever you want...cliff overlooking ocean. Don't leave without at east one. We're coming back...!

Beauty to the extreme
My husband and I have been there many times. And we hope to go back many more times. The Villa is itself is totally beautiful, each bedroom is unique in its own way, they each have their own name. Last time we stayed in Diamante. Staff is very friendly and helpful. When we have wanted to go to some of the surrounding beaches they put together a cooler, towels and arrange transportation. Lots of smiles. They will do whatever you need to have done to make your stay pleasant. The food is fresh, delicious, and plentiful. The sun comes up right over the beach and you go to bed with the sound of the waves as background music, so soothing and peaceful. We are actually going back in January to see the whales migrating right off the beach there! You absolutely will never regret taking family and friends there.

You won't want to vacation anywhere else!
Sunrise Villa is amazing! The layout of the Villa is perfect. The rooms and separate little villas are clean, comfortable and beautiful. The staff is superb!! They are kind & accommodating. The food is fresh, healthy, local and amazing. The bar and bartender, Ramon, are perfect! We enjoyed fresh pina coladas and fresh guacamole at 5pm every day! The pool and hot tub are relaxing and clean and there is ample space to sit in the sun or the shade around the pool. The view is breath-taking and the beach is great for walking and finding sea treasures. If you have any need, they will take care of it. Everything is thought of and you are treated like a celebrity! From in-house mani/peids and cliff-side massages (simply a MUST) to beach picnics and bonfires with music and quiet evenings on your private patio... it's your vacation and you can do what you want! Perfect for relaxing and getting away from the hustle and bustle of life. You must experience Sunrise Villa! We had 5 couples in our group and it was perfect. You could easily have many more people; however, 5-7 couples (or less) is what I would recommend. There isn't a lot for young children to do, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend this as a family destination. There is a small town close by (Cabrera) but there isn't much there. There are no big resorts or big tourist attractions anywhere near the Villa. Which makes it really nice (no other tourists anywhere!); however, a little tricky to get to. From Santo Domingo airport - plan on a two or two and a half hour cab ride! The swimming right in front of the Villa isn't very good. There is a lot of coral and sea urchins. Plus, there can be an undertow. However, there are some excursions (horseback riding, snorkeling, kayaking, etc.) that the Villa will arrange for you if you desire. We ventured to Laguna Dudu, which is a freshwater sinkhole near the Villa - definitely worth checking out. We went to La Playa Grande one day. It is a beautiful beach with great swimming and surfing! My husband and I took an hour cab ride (arranged by Villa) to Caberete (an international kite-surfing destination) so he could kite-surf. Definitely something to check out. We enjoyed some Presidentes (Dominican beer) and fresh fish tacos on the beach at the Kite Club. It was a lot of fun to watch over 75 kite surfers zooming across the ocean! Once you visit the Villa - you won't want to vacation anywhere else!

Amazing place for a getaway with friends!
This was our second year heading to the Sunrise Villa for our annual girls' getaway. 18 of us, 4 nights, 5 days, a lifetime of memories. As expected, the staff at Sunrise Villa did not disappoint! When we arrived we were greeted by Chris and Sandy and we felt like we never left. Ramon was behind the bar waiting accommodate any special request (no ice, some ice, not too much tequila, only tequila). One of our bags never made it and Sandy and Chris bent over backwards to make sure it was delivered the next day. Frank was able to accommodate our food requests and every meal was cooked to perfection. Fresh caught fish, vegetables with every meal. The views are unparalleled! The rooms are clean and comfortable and the decor is welcoming, especially the collection of wooden giraffes. We really didn't feel the need to leave the villa but are glad we made it out to Manny's Bar for a night of dancing, drinks and fun. We are not any easy group to please but we think they have us figured out and we are already planning our third visit!

Paradise!
My husband and I traveled to The Sunrise Villa with ten other friends for the first time, and we could not have been happier with our entire stay. The Villa is BEAUTIFUL both inside and out. There was plenty of personal space for us to be together as a group, or to get away for some quiet time, as well. We enjoyed countless hours at the pool and the hot tub. Plus, beach front is gorgeous, and we enjoyed hours out there watching the waves, sunbathing and hoping for a humpback whale to swim by.
When we wanted to go out and see the sights we enjoyed a day at a nearby swimming beach, snorkeling, horseback riding and a trip to the DuDu' with one of the area's excursion companies. Not sure what the DuDu', is check it out online.
The staff at Sunrise is first rate! They made the trip absolutely perfect! Everyone did whatever they could to make our stay unforgettable, from our fabulous bartender, the massage therapist, the manicures and pedicures, the groundskeepers, house staff and the chef.The meals were very good, my only complaint is that that we had too much food, my clothes were all a little to snug when we left! .

Best vacation EVER!!!!!!!
I have been traveling quite a lot in the last few years and this place is hands down the most wonderful experience so far. WONDERFUL staff, so beautiful, so many fun and interesting things to do. It is magical. A true vacation. No need for a vacation after your vacation. I am already trying to figure out how and when to take my whole family here. Just the best. Don't miss out and don't look anywhere else!!!!!

What a relaxing week
I spent the week with my husband and 10 other friends at Sunrise Villa. I have had many travel experiences across the world but this was one of the best. There are activities to keep you occupied like horseback riding and one of the most beautiful beaches minutes away. If you want to relax and enjoy the people with you you can swimming, get a message (great) and other personal amenities are available. We also felt the place was ours and could choose to party into the night or go to bed early. The staff are there to help with anything and always pleasant. I hope to return

I loved everything about out stay there! The staff was awesome and the villa was incredible. The different houses were close enough to each to all be together, but far enough apart to get your privacy as well. Would definitely recommend for family and privacy for larger groups.

Looking for a slice of serenity? Sunrise Villa gave us a winning combination of luxury & privacy for an intimate and memorable honeymoon experience. Bringing together the natural beauty of the Dominican beachfront, first-rate accommodations, along with unparalleled service from a stellar staff, our stay at Sunrise was exceptional.
Nestled in the secure and exclusive gated community of Orchid Bay Estates in the quiet rural town of Cabrera, the Villa sits on a gorgeous beachfront property atop a sea cliff with spectacular views of the ocean coast. Although you never have to leave this tranquil and picturesque setting, it is minutes away from the town core of Cabrera if you choose to explore the local culture, or take in a scenic dinner experience at the infamous Hotel Catalina. We highly recommend a stop at Flor Cafe - an amazing local restaurant situated among manicured gardens of orchids & exotic plants. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is top-notch.
Elegantly decorated & meticulously maintained, Sunrise offers an endless choice of spacious accommodations. You can choose from an array of beautifully appointed suites on the property, but we highly recommend the Samana Suite that offers discretely private accommodations, a spectacular patio deck with sweeping views of the ocean and its surrounding lush tropical landscape. Try the upscale outdoor shower by moonlight - it is an experience to remember.
The staff provided impeccable first class service throughout our stay. Chris, the Property Manager and a remarkable host, was extremely attentive & ensured we lacked nothing throughout our stay. Frank, the Villa's Chef, provided an assortment of delectable meals from morning to night, making sure we never went hungry. Let's not forget Ramon, Sunrise's entertaining bartender who makes your time at the Manana Bar a memorable one - from his thirst-quenching creations to his never-ending sunny disposition. Sandy, Rosa, Mariela, Vivi, Papito & Francesco tended to our every need. The entire staff provided the professionalism, responsiveness, and friendly atmosphere that make Sunrise unique in its own right. Our conversations with Kevin, the owner, coupled with his responsiveness, flexibility, & friendly-nature reinforced our decision that Sunrise would be the ultimate destination for our honeymoon retreat.
Exceptional in every way, Sunrise Villa exceeded all of our expectations. We will return and highly recommend this little piece of paradise.

In the space available here, I cannot begin to share all the great things about our stay with Sunrise Villa. Kevin & Chris were incredibly helpful with our preparations prior to arrival. Chris, Ramon, Sandy and the rest of the staff were incredible. They went above and beyond to insure we had a trip to remember. Meals were designed to cater to our dietary needs and our schedule.Our group has lasting memories spanning 3 generations. We are already planning our next visit!
My daughter's 11th birthday was a true celebration complete with a great dinner, cake, local bands and a bonfire on the beach. One night Ramon brought the bar to us as we sat out on the cliffs to watch the Delta Aquarid meteor shower. The passion fruit mojitos were a big hit too!
Several of us enjoyed massages, manicures and pedicures on the cliffs overlooking the ocean, listening to the waves crash below.
Our dinner out at La Catalina, with a great bar and incredible view, was fantastic. Then we headed to Manny's bar located oceanfront in downtown Cabrera. Fun, fun night.
Our day at Playa Grande was a blast. I'm not a beach person, so when I say I not only stayed all day, but I went back to the villa to fetch more Presidente and a couple guests that had stayed behind, it means something.
Monkey Jungle is a worthwhile trip 1.5 hours towards Peurto Plata. Especially knowing that you're supporting the Dental Clinic mission serving Haitians and Dominicans.
From the minute we arrived, we felt truly welcome. As we left, we felt that we would be truly missed. As for our group, I know we had a great time visiting with life-long friends, making new friends, and celebrating life at Sunrise Villa!

We were long overdue for a stress relieving vacation, so much so that we couldn't even get motivated to put together our usual caribbean bareboat cruise. We looked into a few exclusive resorts, but they somehow did not feel like the right medicine either. Out of the blue a friend recommended this villa and said it's "what you're longing for". We had never been to the Dominican Republic. After a few email exchanges and phone chats with the owner who seemed to read my mind, and after perusing the reviews here, we took the leap.
Wow. Beautiful and luxurious are not sufficient words. We spent a week at Sunrise Villa and got exactly what we were looking for -- a total rejuvanation of mind, body, and spirit -- and more. From the moment we walked into the open air great room, we never wanted to leave the property, although the restaurant, public beach, and local bar that we visited were outstanding memories in their own right. We got massages, read books, swam, hot tubbed, napped, walked on the beach, and RELAXED to our hearts content with the the breathtaking views and pristine property entirely enveloping us every minute. The staff at the villa cannot do enough for you and the food was authentic and superb. The manana bar is, well, THE manana bar! It begs for a party! And we got one! With Chris and Captain Steve and a few neighboring villa owners all telling entertaining stories with good music and delicious hors d'oeuvres. All under a full moon. Is there anything you and your staff cannot make happen here?
Oh yeah, we will be back. With a bunch of friends and family next time. You have created a paradise there in Orchid Bay (did I mention the orchid gardens?) and it is most assuredly now on our list of best places on earth. Thank you Kevin, Chris, Tanya, Frank, and everyone for pampering us and sending us home with a full tank of optimism and positive energy (and maybe a few extra pounds)! The glow is still with us after several weeks back home and that is the ultimate measure of a true vacation in my book.
