About this villa rental
Let our spacious new luxury Villa Simply Paradise pamper you in paradise. Our 4200 square feet of living space is perched on a gentle hillside overlooking the beautiful mile long Cofresi beach, one of the finest on the Dominican Republic’s north shore. Simply Paradise is only a 10 minute walk from the spectacular new Ocean World eco-park.
Villa Simply Paradise is designed for couples, small groups or larger families. Gather with friends and family on the large porches overlooking the beach and mountains. Enjoy gorgeous sunrises, sunsets and the constant cooling trade winds or escape to the privacy of your air-conditioned bedroom and private balcony. Simply Paradise can sleep 10 adults in private bedrooms with private baths. The villa also has the capacity to sleep another 4 guests on convertible beds in other rooms.
Couples can expect an intimate experience with the upper private terrace being just right for romantic dinners and cuddling in the moonlight. Your discrete staff will afford you all the privacy you desire.
Small groups and large families will appreciate the 2 family rooms, porches and terraces. Our dining table is routinely set for 10 but can be expanded to 14. The porches can be set up for informal dining, a favorite place for breakfast or lunch. If your family is like ours and you would like a little privacy from time to time, you will also appreciate the personal space and quiet time afforded by your large bedroom, private bathroom and balcony.
Relax on the porches, catch rays poolside, play and swim at the beach, or participate in one of the many north shore tours and attractions that can be arranged for you by our staff. When you are ready, our housekeeper will serve you her fresh pina coladas and tasty snacks poolside or on the porch, then she will pamper your palates with a dinner that you have chosen from her extensive culinary repertoire. If you decide to eat out, there are a number of excellent restaurants within a short walk or ride from your villa.
Your kids will love the beach and the pool but when it is time to come in out of the sun they will enjoy the video games and DVDs that we have provided.
For our handicapped guests, Simply Paradise was designed with your special needs in mind. The entire main floor and the pool area is wheelchair accessible. Your private bath is designed to allow wheelchair access as well. If you need special assistance, our staff can arrange to have someone available as needed. And, should you need medical care, there is a 24 hour affordable quality medical care available.
Simply Paradise shares beautiful Cofresi Beach with two world class resorts and the new marine eco-park, Ocean World. The coral sand is cool on the feet and soft to the touch. There is ample shade provided by swaying palms and lush sea grapes for those who have had enough sun but still want to enjoy the atmosphere. On one end of the mile long beach are rocks and coral that invite snorkelers when the sea is calm. There are usually breakers for body surfing in some areas but then the rest is just right for swimming and wading.
There are no rip tides, no dangerous under tows and no jelly fish at Cofresi. The only sharks that you will see are in the shark habitat at Ocean World. Quaint Dominican souvenir kiosks are set along the beach area but you will not be hassled by hawkers on the beach itself, that is not allowed. Beach chairs and water toys are available at stands on the beach.
For exciting night life, the casinos and Caribbean discos in Puerto Plata provide an electric atmosphere. Hit the clubs to dance the night away to the beat of salsa and the merengue, or try your luck at one of the casinos. The new Casino and disco at Ocean World is only a 10 minute walk away. Our favorite night life, however, is to sit on the balcony and enjoy the millions of stars visible above the rollers on the ocean.
For our golfing friends, some of the Caribbean’s best courses are in the Dominican Republic. A fifteen minute drive will put you on the beautiful courses at Playa Dorado, and a hour long drive through the beautiful Dominican countryside will put you on the Robert Trent Jones course at Playa Grande. There will be no fighting for tee times, our staff will make all the arrangements for you.
Snorkelers and divers will find plenty in the DR to entertain them. When the wind is right, the snorkeling at Cofresi or neighboring Costamba beech offer beautiful coral, rocks and tropical fish. There are also many other snorkel areas a short drive or short boat trip away. North shore diving trips to reefs and wrecks can also be arranged by our staff.
Although the Dominican Republic is not yet known as a shoppers’ paradise, you will find lots to take home. Locally produced rums and famous cigars are favorites as are the bright Caribbean paintings. The Dominican Republic is the only place in the world that the gem stone larimar is found and one of the few places in the world that mines amber. These jewels are readily available as are others from jewellers in Puerto Plata.
The casual Dominican life-style fits perfectly with a relaxed vacation. But for those who insist on bringing work with them, the villa has WiFi access.
Your cook and housekeeper is a native of Puerto Plata. She is a superb cook and will also clean daily. For larger groups, an assistant housekeeper will be provided at no extra charge. A cell phone is provided for the villa which makes it easy and affordable to tell those back home about the fantastic time you are having. Cable TV, VCR/DVD, CD sound system, video game system, full kitchen with utensils, and all linens are provided. We also have a collection of DVDs, video games, and paperbacks for your use while at Simply Paradise.
(Smoking outside only, please)

We had a great stay here! Unfortunately the rest of our trip cancelled so it ended up being just me and my partner, but the house would be great for bigger groups too. The house is beautiful, it's within walking distance to the beach but if you weren't up for swimming in the ocean the pool was also great. All of the meals were amazing. We loved not having to worry about cooking. Definitely worth the stay, we are hoping to come back soon!

This villa had everything you could need oversized rooms plenty of space and amazing views. Staff was amazing jossi cooked incredible dishes the whole family was pleased with. Willie was there every morning cleaning up and very friendly. Gambino answered texts promptly and made sure everything was going great would highly recommend for a relaxing vacation. Staff really made you feel welcomed.

The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. From the house you walk to the beach, the small grocery store, and restaurants. You are also just minutes from the greatest attractions that Puerto Plata offers.
The service is exceptional. Jossi cooks delicious and makes sure you are satisfied. The team that maintains the house and security is spectacular.
I have no complaints, the only detail we had to deal with was the water pressure when you flush the toilet, or when many people bathe at the same time, but it's not something that can't be handled.
Not only do I recommend this beautiful house, but I want to return. Thank you, Norman.

We stayed for a week with friends and loved it - great location and the staff were very helpful and friendly.
We then stayed for an additional couple of nights by ourselves (just our immediate family) after our friends went home, and the first night we were alone someone jumped the fence and stole some of the laundry we had out to dry. I heard it happen and they also tried to get into the house. Thankfully we had the doors locked.
This is obviously not something in the owner's control, but it is disappointing when there's supposed to be a night watchman on duty.
At the time, the front door locks weren't functioning and they weren't able to fix them for our last night there, so instead of enjoying our last day of vacation, we spent it packing and moving because we felt unsafe in a home that couldn't be locked.
The owner did refund us for the night we didn't stay there, but not for the night we were robbed. Being robbed and hearing the same person trying to get into the house at 1am is pretty violating. If we could ensure that the front door locks were fixed we would probably have stayed our second night, and we would likely be willing to stay there again. It truly was a nice house and a lovely experience with the staff, but especially while staying with our young children, safety trumped comfort.

Norman was more than accommodating for all our large group needs. He arranged for a roasted pig for my birthday celebration, answered all my many questions promptly and gave me so much helpful information. The villa is an easy walk to the beach. The eastern side near the resorts is a lovely calm beach, and we spent several afternoons there. It was so helpful to have a staff and help arranging excursions. We had a few issues pop up, but they were resolved in a friendly and expeditious manner. They even allowed part of our group to stay when after hours at the airport, our flight got rescheduled to the next morning at 6:00am (our friends were there for a few more days). I would recommend this home.

Too many problem to get the address with the GPS location provated by the manneger office. We were 2:30 hours looking por the property. The The employees in the house were excellent. Finally we got the property because I could communicate with MR. Norman. Beautiful property but to hot on the first floor, the ventilation it's only by one side of the house. We had to open the front door. Beside that we enjoy the vacation time 😜😜. Thank you so much 🙏😊

From the minute we got to the villa we were received and treated like family. Every meal was a hit and Josie is only still there because i couldnt fit her in my suitcase. Erica, Sandi and Willy are awesome as well. The villa is always clean and the grounds nicely kept. We will definitely be back if theyll have us. Thanks for the memories!

We had a wonderful time. The property is beautiful the pictures doesn’t do it any justice. Our only complaint was for the 5th bedroom the room with the twin bed doesn’t have any a/c, that should be noted. Our guest their pulled for that room was very unhappy bout the a/c situation, but we quickly rectified by letting her sleep downstairs in the room that’s the living room which actually is the coldest room in the house. Our cook Josie was amazing everything that she cooked was delicious. We tried all her specialities and she did not disappoint. Everything from the beginning to the end was just perfect. If we ever come back I would definitely stay here again. Our manager Gabino responded immediately on any problem we had which was only the a/c and our taxi was late picking us up. Once I called within 10 minutes we had our airport transportation. Sandy kept our pool clean and even made a few grocery store runs for us. Gus came over and set up excursions, we even had massages done at the house. This is beautiful place and I give it a 10. Thanks Norman for allowing us to stay at your beautiful villa.

Stay at Simply Paradise for 2 night for Easter weekend. We loved this place. The owner responded to all my question in a timely manner. All the fees were layout at front.
They provide a lot information before you get to the villa.
The villa was very clean.
They give you few options for your meals: food shopping for you before you get there, or you can go to the store with them or you can bring your supply and they will prepare for you. I chose to bring my own food supplies as per it was Semana Santa weekend in DR and most places were closed on Good Friday.
I gave them our menu they were on point. I asked for the BBQ grill, they had it ready for us. That was so nice.
They take all the details into consideration, a list of restaurants, activities etc.
The view was breathtaking. Within few minutes walk to the beach.
I highly recommend this place.
I would love to stay longer.
The staff was so helpful and friendly.

Our 2 week stay was a success and we measure that by how relaxed and ready we feel by the end and this vacation did not disappoint.
The staff was incredible.....I was in touch with the house manager a few weeks prior with so many questions that he generously and promptly answered. He also was available 24/7 throughout via text and rapid responses.
Next, there was Josy and Erica who ran the house. They fed us delicious food and kept the house in spick and span condition. I think we secretly loved what they offered the most. It was incredible.
Willy and Sandy both were attentive, super friendly and there in a split second to assist in running to the pharmacy, investigating where our taxi might be, recommendations......they were amazing as well.
One thing we all agree on though is that we were surprised at how dirty and seaweed infested Cofresi beach was. We barely swam there as we found Sosua and Dorado beaches and made them our home a handful of times.
We always felt safe as we had Juan on the 3rd shift doing his security thing ( we never felt unsafe anywhere really) Thank you Juan. We ate most meals home with Josy but did eat out a handful of times. Most of the times we were dissatisfied with food but our fave was Los Tres Coco which was a couple of miles down the road. The food and atmosphere were the best....highly recommend.
I think that's all I've got. Oh and one more big important thing...the people were over the top friendly....all people we encounter.

Thank you for letting me experience your paradise on earth, it was a beautiful and wonderful stay, and your staff made it even better, I trully felt at home, everything was great, location, the home, the staff...no complaints and definitely will recommend to family and friends, the house is amazing beautiful, but honestly to make it even better, the street have to be fix, I understand if it was up to you it would be fix already, the neighborhood is so beautiful and so are all houses around, so the road have to be update it ASAP...other than that you and your staff are doing a great job, keep it up...and again, Thank You for letting me and my family experienced your SIMPLY PARADISE, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS...AND I DEFINITELY WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. :)

Everything about this villa exceeded our expectations. The owner was quick to reply and easy to work with, answering all of our questions before we left for the trip, and then once we arrived at the property...wow! We fell in love with the view, the villa, and the staff. Everyone was warm and welcoming from the beginning of our stay all the way to the end, so much so, we caught ourselves calling it home while we were there. Josey is an incredible cook, with many years of experience. We trusted the menu to her for the week, and we were always amazed at both the variety and the quantity of the food-this large family ate very well every day. The villa is spacious with lots of balconies and community areas, sections around the pool for relaxing and sunbathing, and breathtaking views of both the ocean and the mountains. And if you want to head to the beach, it's a short 5 minute walk! We were so impressed, we will be booking this property again in the future, and we hope to become regulars! PS I highly recommend a massage on the balcony, followed by a manicure by the pool.

Over all it was an incredible time at this beautiful property. The staff was on point with of our request prior to check in and during our stay. Josey the house keeper and cook for the property was over the top with her cooking and cleaning. We would leave her a note prior to going to bed as far as what we wanted for breakfast and lunch and she always went above and beyond. The rooms were spacious, the house was beautiful and the pool area with its views is out of this world. My only issue with the property was with the road to access the house. Not in the greatest condition. If you have a low riding car I would not recommend taking the risk. Over all I will be back to simply Paradise.

We rented the house to celebrate a family reunion. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious, tastefully decorated and comfortable. The staff is great (great cooks!) and the pool was fun. There’s great views all around. We also had a hard time finding the place. My suggestion is to google map the name of the house “Simply Paradise” and it take you directly, the location has already been pinned online. The instructions to drive there need to be revised with the name of the house (we had to zoom into an image to find it) Also, the instructions say after hotel entrance, take the first left, its more clear to say its the third left. Anyways, we had a lovely time and I highly recommend.

I booked the villa so that my family and I would spend the weekend together. The villa is very spacious, clean and over all we all had a very good impression of the property. The pool was the pool was the main attraction to the villa and it lived up to the expectation. The water was very clean and the temperature was just right. I only had 2 minor issues with are very easily corrected and would not be a deal breaker for most. 1- the location is not so easy to find. We were lost for about 15-20 minutes because the roads are not named. Better directions to the villa would make arrival a lot easier. On the other hand, once you make it, it is very easy to return and move around.
2- The gratuity required by the owner for the staff was not explained in the booking details. It made me uncomfortable to be told how much to tip, prior to my arrival without any consideration for the service that was yet provided. The service was adequate but not great. The staff mostly cooked, being that we cleaned up after ourselves and brought with us everything we needed. The food was good and the staff was courteous. I definitely recommend this place, however the owner should disclose her gratuity policy prior to booking. The owner responds to messages in a timely fashion.
Thanks for the nice weekend at your place. My family and I enjoyed our stay.

Wow. I just spent a week at this beautiful Villa. The place is beautiful, staff is excellent, location is great. Cofresi is the perfect spot for a quiet getaway. You will not want to leave the villa. The upstairs covered porch is so relaxing with an unbelievable view of the water, as well as the mountains. Josie, the housekeeper/cook is reason enough to rent this Villa. She is a beautiful person, although be prepared to put on a few pounds, she is an EXCELLENT cook. Ramon, the night watchman was also a pleasure, he is a very good man. I could go on and on, but I won't. Rent this place, you will be glad you did!
