Summary of reviews
The property offers spacious rooms, amazing views, friendly and attentive staff, delicious meals, and a relaxing atmosphere. It exceeded all expectations and provided an unforgettable experience for guests.
5.0 / 5.0
Booked with another four person family and it was AMAZING! The home is gorgeous, views are stunning and the staff were so caring and wonderful. Our children loved the pool, the lazy river, and the "little pool" or jacuzzi when it wasn't hot. The evening breeze made the balcony irresistible at night. We slept so soundly and peacefully. Each morning, waking up in a king bed room, we looked out on the beauty of the country. We loved exploring local beaches, grocery stores and restaurants. Horse back riding with Maimon Bay Ranch was breath-taking and enjoyable for all ages.
You do not have to speak Spanish to enjoy your time here, but it really helps! You can pay for things in USD but I recommend pesos so you do not lose money on the conversion rates with vendors. I cannot say enough about the staff. Our meals were delicious and the chef made sure to meet all of our needs - kids and adults.
Please stay here. You'll want to come again and again.

Beautiful, clean, safe, amazing service. We stayed a week and had from 5-12 family with us each night. It was so spacious, even with 12 it never seemed crowded. The staff was wonderful. Just a walk to the beach and nightlife. Easy to get tours and excursions for the entire crew.
4.0 / 5.0
Large villa with wonderful view. Owner was responsive and helpful prior to check in. Onsite staff including villa manager, kitchen/house attendants, taxi driver, maintenence man, security….all wonder people…friendly, welcoming, attentive. Interesting walk down the hill to public beach area…and a bit of exercise coming back up. Taxi available anytime at your request to go anywhere….and to return you to villa. Some maintenance issues were handled quickly…many light bulbs needed replacing…hot tub didn’t stay heated, toilets had some flushing issues. Any and all concerns were addressed…some the next day. Some observations…only one TV in villa (living room area) and on the small side. With our crew..bedroom TVs would have been nice. When gathered around dining area table adjacent to living room for cards, games, etc…difficult for those in living area trying to watch TV. “Game room had older foosball table and rather “used” pool table and cues. “Exercise equipment was similarly “used” , and some non functional. Our weather was warm and windy….not sure if hillside location is always windy but most days during our visit it was strong enough to blow towels, cups, glasses, off chairs and tables. The pool is very nice but on the cold side during our visit. It is not heated. The bold in our crew used it anyway every day! To the owner,Glen, to the villa mgr, Santa, and the wonderful staff….thank you!

This morning when we left, I was crying on the balcony and my husband had to pry me away from the property! I have been worldwide traveler for over 20 years and this, by far was a place where I wanted to live there, full-time!
The staff was absolutely phenomenal! Santa made me feel right at home! And Santiago made our family, feel very safe by being our nightly guard!
Several beautiful women washed several loads of laundry for us, so we could go out as a family and snorkel and deep-sea fish! We will absolutely be coming back here! They have a phenomenal view in the mountains at the very top of the peak looking at the beautiful city below with a hot tub and huge infinity pool!
Many times pictures look better than the real deal… In this case, the real deal looked 10 times better than the pictures which were already stunning!
When you look at other properties to stay at in the same area with all of the extra fees per person per day… This was a no-brainer to stay at this huge mansion in the hills!
Thank you James Bond Villa staff for making our vacation vacation one we will remember for a lifetime!

5.0 / 5.0
Our stay was nothing short of magical. The picturesque moonrises viewed from the comfort of the jacuzzi and rooftop terrace were simply mesmerizing; pictures don't do justice to such breathtaking moments. Bioma, the epitome of warmth and talent, delighted us with her exceptional culinary skills, preparing delectable breakfasts and dinners. Her thoughtfulness extended to ensuring my morning coffee was ready, adding a perfect touch to each day.
The staff, including Santa and Carlos, contributed to our unforgettable experience. Their kindness and attentiveness truly made us feel at home away from home. This villa was an oasis of relaxation and beauty, where every sunrise felt like a masterpiece.
We departed with hearts full of gratitude, relishing the memories of this extraordinary break. Our sincerest thanks to Bioma, Santa, Carlos, and the entire team for creating an experience that surpassed all expectations. We're already yearning for our next visit!"

Santa and the team will take care of you from start to end. The house is a little older but has lots of character. The pool is amazing. The food prepared for us was fantastic. If we had any questions or needs the team was there to help us. We enjoyed touring the island but we really felt at home with Santa and the team. Thank you all for a wonderful vacation and great memories.

Let me start off by saying, if I could give this place more than 5 stars on everything...I would! From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The way the staff took care of us, meals that were prepared, coffee made so we could watch the sunrises with it in our hand. Kept the villa clean throughout our whole stay. All the extra touches they put into it day in and day out. This staff is what truly made this home...made it like it was our home. The location was beautiful, our views was like no other, the home was amazing, the pool and hot tub was clean and perfect. I will never book another home in Puerta Plata besides this one.
Now let me talk about Santa....she is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. From helping me plan the meals, arranging taxis for us, helping me get the groceries that were needed for specific meals, making sure I had contact info for her in case i needed anything when she wasnt there. I wanted to bring her home with me. She is the best and what made this stay like a dream for us. The security made us feel safe and secure and was very much appreciated.
I was a party of 14, all couples. We came for our yearly "baecation" and they made our experience in the DR unforgettable.
Thank you Santa and the whole staff for making this home, our home while we were there.

Number one the staff was incredibly helpful the cook and they did an amazing job with the food. They kept their place spotless!
I have no words for the view from the pool and the hot tub. The pictures we posted to FB do no justice to the true beauty and grandeur of the house.
I will just say this... I will not soon forget this vacation and it is in the record books of my memory as a world class event. Epic!!
4.0 / 5.0
The villa was a great stay and it's exactly as pictured! The staff was amazing and it was very comfortable size for our group of 12 (10 adults, 2 kids). Some details:
Pros: (1) wifi only worked on the main floor but was strong enough for video work calls for those working, and there was plenty of space to work. (2) rooms are spacious and A/C was strong in the rooms (3) gorgeous pool and hot tub when working (4) staff was amazing and cleaned / cooked every day (5) good shower pressure (6) having a driver for groceries, golfing, excursions etc. was amazing
Cons: (1) a bit outdated (e.g. mesh doors to keep mosquitos out were a bit broken, jacuzzi broke for almost half the stay which made it too cold to use, fixtures are a bit dated, etc.) (2) beds were firm

Bond House of Puerto Plata
We absolutely loved this house, the property and the fantastic staff. The house itself overlooks the Cofresi Bay and the town of Puerto Plata, so makes for a beautiful spot to catch the sunrise and gorgeous look at the city in the evening. We loved how spacious the house was. Every room has it own bathroom which really helps when you have a big group/ family traveling with you, that extra space and privacy is a definite bonus. Santa was a great host, very accommodating and helped us schedule our fun outings, rides to the beach and was even able to get a tattoo artist to come to the house to add some additional ink to the family members that were needing something to remember for life! The rest of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful as well. We a couple of us get sick on different days (maybe rum induced), and they were very thoughtful and considerate in making them comfortable and feeling better. I would like I suggest putting in more plastic cups for the house since everything is tile and would have been very nice out by the pool/hot tub area. We did not have children in our group, but still had a cup our two go down in the house. Overall though, we had an absolute great trip to the DR and really think this house was a huge part in making that happen. It was a different way for our families to travel or are used to traveling.... having staff on hand organizing our outings, cooking us food and making us drinks really made for a relaxing and overall epic time. Thank you for allowing us to stay at this splendid Palace!

Amazing!
I cannot recommend this beautiful home enough! The house itself was nothing short of amazing but what really makes this place is the staff!! They were attentive without being intrusive. Santa helped me find a local bakery to surprise my friend with a birthday cake. The chef was DIVINE and sooooo sweet! I would love to stay here again!

50th Birthday Celebration
My husband and I invited 7 guests to celebrate with us. There are 9 very large bedrooms each with a large bathroom so everyone had their own space. The villa has a fantastic pool on the lower level and a hot tub on the upper level - both overlooking the town and ocean below. The staff was attentive without being intrusive. The food was outstanding - far better than the restaurants even for picky eaters. We loved having daily massages available at the villa also. We had a driver take us out to the city and exciursions daily. Truly an amazing villa that we can’t wait to return to with family. Absolutely no complaints!

Phenomenal Experience
This was me and my friends first time visiting the Dominican Republic, we had a great time. Glenda & Santa did a great job with providing us with GREAT Hospitality. The staff was the friendliest staff I have ever dealt with, we barely had to lift a finger, they did a awesome job cleaning, their cooking was great, and they washed all of our clothes everyday. I’m sure this will not be my last stay at the Bentley Villa. I would recommend this stay to anyone, GREAT staff, GREAT views, and overall a GREAT experience!
With Love,
Noah

Amazing property and staff
We had a group of 7 stay for the second half of February 2021. The property was exactly as advertised, very spacious comfortable and well taken care of.
The best part of the stay was the staff, they were so accommodating, it was such a joy to wake up to breakfast every day and to have a mid-afternoon meal. We all got used to two meals a day which is what they provide. We also gave them free reign on the menu with very little comments and we loved seeing what they came up with. We did two large grocery trips with Santa picking up items in between.
With Covid, we barely left the house and no one seemed all that interested in leaving anyway due to all the open space and with tons of things to do. We did a couple movies night in the theater room, played games on the huge dining room table, pool tournaments in the game room or sat in the hot tub till we were all pruned up.
Great house, great staff, I highly recommend staying here.

AMAZING HOUSE AND STAFF
Our family of 9 stayed here as our Christmas gift in December 2019. The staff greeted us upon arrival and provided a home tour. I cannot say enough about the staff...Santa, Carlos, Santiago, and other three ladies (I cannot remember their names, but loved them so much) were so accommodating, friendly, and helpful. We were treated as family and hated saying goodbye to them. They prepared amazing breakfasts and dinners for us, prepared popcorn for movies, cleaned house daily, laundered our clothes, and so much more! Carlos maintained the pools, and even went searching for my youngest son when he went off on a rented moped. Santiago was always providing security for us even in the rain, so we provided him dinner nightly. The neighborhood is great as well. We became very familiar with Juan’s and Charro’s by the beach as we visited there daily.
It rained a few times throughout our stay, but that never stopped our enjoyment! We even had a masseuse come to the house and provide massages. That was a real treat! I would recommend using the tour providers the house recommends verses seeking your own. We had a real issue with one, and I would urge EVERYONE to STAY AWAY from Camel Tours. They are horrible! We booked with them through Viator prior to arrival. I reviewed them separately.
Several times the electricity went out due to construction on a nearby bridge. The owner, Glen, contacted the staff to provide us an apology even though this was no fault of theirs. Again this didn’t cause us any discomfort...we just altered plans some and continued our great vacation.
Thank you to all who truly made this vacation extraordinary! I would highly recommend booking here. You will not regret it!

Great family getaway !
A beautiful home with an amazing view !
Plenty of room for our family of 14 and room to spare. We had a wonderful time in the Dominican Republic. We enjoyed the cable car ( teleferico ) up to Pico Isabel to see Christ the Redeemer Statue! 27 Charcos was a blast ! 1/2 hour away. Cofresi beach was nice ,the kids had fun boogie boarding.
The home was very clean, spacious and comfortable. We will always remember coffee on the veranda each morning at sunrise. The kids spent a lot of time in the huge pool, Carlos made sure it was always clean and turned on the waterfall for us whenever we wanted. Dioma cooked us wonderful meals, and Santa and the girls made sure our every need was met. We had a marvelous Thanksgiving (US) dinner,Turkey and all. The staff went out of their way to meet every expectation ! Our time was too short, thank you all for making it special !!!

Heavenly vacation villa
Let me start by saying thank you for the best vacation ever. My entire family could not stop talking about the great time we spent at your villa. Starting from the pick up at the airport to the great welcoming by all the staff who just brighten our every day we spent there. Santa, Dioma, Kira and Carlos are the most delightful people you can hope to have to take care of you. We were treated with freshly made piña coladas as we received a tour of the villa. Each and every corner of the home is jaw dropping. Every turn you make you find yourself enjoying the amazing views of the ocean from all the rooms as the home is situated in an amazing area of land. Everything about the home exceeded our expectations as the pictures on the site do not do justice. As I mentioned before the staff is constantly catering to your needs, starting with fresh coffee every morning to the wonderful and satisfying breakfasts and other meals that Dioma and Kira set out for us each day. Carlos was always wonderful as he ran all over the area to shop for My family’s needs always with great smile. Santa was great as she arranged massages and hair sessions for the ladies in my family and they loved it as it was so much personal having them in the home. The daily piña coladas by the pool we’re the highlight of my daughter’s day. The amazing relaxing moments we spent by the pool and outside on the balcony having coffee, meals and the occasional domino game reminded all of us of how great it is to enjoy family. We were able to receive the best fireworks show at night as we gazed at the stars from the beach front resort that is viewed from the home which was the best part for my son stay at this villa. We have been to several places through the homeaway group in the past years but this villa has topped our list. Thank you Glen for sharing your home and please thank your staff dearly. We will surely come back again to the Bentley Villa!

Amazing stay
We brought 4 parents and 6 young adults to stay at Bentley Villa for a week long friend reunion. We've traveled a lot but have never done anything like this. The house was amazing with plenty of rooms for all of the couples and singles to have their own room. Having the staff there was the best part. They were friendly and helped us with whatever we needed. Everymorning started with hot coffee on the balcony with the amazing view and an amazing breakfast to follow. Santa arranged everything for us and we came back to a fabulous meal (ask for the Seabass Dominican Style!!) and spotless home. In all, the vacation was flawless from airport pick-up to drop off. So glad we did this and made wonderful memories. Thank you!

awesome stay and great staff
Words cannot to do justice in describing what a fabulous place and stay that we had. There is so much space that one can either be with the group or go off to be by themselves. The wrap-around and covered upper patio is very spacious and offers a cool breeze and fantastic view of the ocean and city below. The wrap around pool is very large and offers a scenic view with many lounge chairs to sun tan or visit. The bedrooms are large with their own bathroom and all are air conditioned. The patio deck was so nice, that we seldom left there and the day sped by just relaxing, enjoying a drink and snack.The best part of our stay was the great staff and chef that they had to make our stay unforgettable, We though we would go out to eat on the economy, but after eating the arrival meal that was prepared for us, we ate breakfast and supper at the villa and there was so much food, we didnt need a third meal. You plan the menu according to your taste. if you needed something from the store they would get it for you and for any activities you wanted to go on, they would arrange the transportation and get you the best price. The room cleaning daily was top notch and if anything was not working,Carlos would be right there to fix it. Santa who directs the staff, comes everyday and makes sure all is running smoothly. I woulds rate the staff as 5+ out of 5. The owner Glenn stopped by and is truly interested in how are stay was going and if there was anything that would make it better or if we had any issues. A true professional who was easy to work with when inquiring about the Villa and the reservation process. He responded quickly whenever contacted by email. The total number that were on this trip was nine and we are truly eager. to come again in the future. We all left refreshed,energized and sad that the week went by so fast. So we have no regrets about this fabulous place and the great staff that worked well together. The staff at the beginning said that they would treat us as family and that this was our home and we truly felt as if we were part of their family when we left. Relax,enjoy and rest assured, this is a great place to stay.

Worth every penny!
We left Bentley villa today after 10 days with 18 family members and could not be more pleased. The views alone are hard to believe, but the smiling staff is the icicing on the cake. Santa and her staff ensure that all needs are met. The food from the kitchen was plentiful and delicious. We did not eat out once! The home is thoroughly cleaned every day. To top it off, Carlos empties, cleans and refills the hot tub every day, in addition to running errands for us.
Our whole family agreed it was a perfect vacation.
We would give it 11 stars if we could!!!

Devine Family vacation.
From the moment we arrived, we where in love with this most beautiful villa. It truly was better than the pictures show. We where greeted by the santa and the staff ( who felt like family by the end). They took care of our every need.
We had 15 in our party to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday. Our children, there partners and our 3 grand babies. We felt like royalty waking up to breakfast everyday. If you decided to sleep in, that was ok because they would prepare you something when you got up. Dioma our chef was more than happy preparing and cooking what ever we wanted. Santa set up all our excursion and made excellent recommendations for everyone. We loved paradise island as a whole group. Some did fishing trips, others zip lining, waterfall jumping and horse back riding on the beach. We had a gal come and braid the grand babies hair. We had our own personal masseuse. Who came to the house daily. She gave a great massage. (I had 3) some of us also got facials.
Carlos what can I say! He always had a smile on his face and was happy to go to the store for our daily needs, someday serveral times. He would clean the pool and hot tub and fix anything that needed attention. We had 2 lovely young ladies Judy and Kira who kept our palace clean, our bedrooms and bathrooms stocked and cleaned, helped with food preparation and laundry. Always with a smile on there face.
Santiago made us feel safe at night as he was our security man.
The view, the pool, the hot tub, I could go on and on.
This vacation was the best we have ever had. We will be back!! Thank you Glen for accommodating us for an extra day when our flight got cancelled due to an ice storm in Boston.

Fantastic Property and Experience
Our entire group thought this property exceeded the high expectations we had already set for it.
The staff led by Santa was absolutely fantastic - they accommodated our every wish. Dioma and kitchen staff were amazing. They prepared wonderful breakfasts and dinners daily to meet the desires and needs of our large diverse group.
The home itself is immaculately maintained and cleaned. The views and vistas speak for themselves.
Glen the owner was very responsive and easy to deal with.
We would recommend this property to any of our friends and gladly return again ourselves.

Great Winter Vacation!!
My family and I spent 7 days at the wonderful James Bond/Bentley Villa,for the Christmas Holidays. We had a marvelous time. The first part of our group was greeted by the driver Pedro at the airport. The other half of our group arrived late approximately 11:30 pm. Glen,(the owner) sent another driver (Santiago) out to pick them up as well. As we inter the Villa the keys were handed to us right away by Carlos, one of the care takers of the home. He informed us that Santa,(the Staff Director) had made dinner, which was a pleasant surprise after a long flight. The beautiful Villa is luxurious and breathtaking. It has 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a complete kitchen including a full size refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, stove, garbage disposal, microwave, etc. Flat Panel TV with cable and wireless internet. The rooms were spotless with comfortable amenities. The Villa was relaxing and great for couples, We were a group of 12 and we were very satisfied. We are constantly traveling but this exceeded our expectations. Our family was truly pleased! The staff who are extremely kind and friendly were truly amazing! You definitely won’t get that kind of experience from a resort. The staff are bi-lingual (English and Spanish) which was very helpful. There also is a 24 hour watchmen. The meals were fantastic! Three of us did not receive our luggage on time, for three days. Santa called the airport every day until our luggage was delivered from the airport to to the Villa. The atmosphere was relaxing and peaceful. The only thing that was dissatisfying about the whole trip was we wish we could’ve stayed longer. We really enjoyed our stay there it was a great experience. We recommend it and will be returning back in 2020.

Awesome saucesome
This vacation was much more than any of us expected. We woke every morning with smile and just pure relaxation on our faces. It's was 8 of us total who travelled to the villa on 2 different day. The welcome from Santa and her crew was just down right friendly and caring for both groups. The hospitality was great everything we needed was in our reach (Thanks to Santa). Breakfast was ready every morning and when we returned from our day of adventures dinner was waiting for us to just enjoy. Everyone who entered the home was in awe of it's beauty. The art work became a conversation piece on several occasions. On piece in particular drew us all in, the wood status in the living room with the stages of women. I meant to ask the name of that piece. The accommodations for our group was perfect in everyway. We most enjoyed the hot tub every evening and just sitting on the balcony with the stars in the clear sky. I enjoyed the opportunity to sunbath in private on the 4th floor terrace awww. Wonderful place to spend my 55th birthday. In all it was 4 of who had birthdays during this period. Again Santa made mine extra special and presented me with a cake in the morning of my special day. This is definitely a do over. See you next time Bentley Villa and Santa and the crew.

More than we imagined
From the moment we arrived, we were all in awe of the property. After meeting Santa, we knew we booked the right home. The outside is where we spent most of our time, the pool and the hot tub( which Carlos refilled every morning), was what dreams are made out of. Inside the house, the rooms were spacious and the bedrooms were clean and comfy. The theater room, huge but needed some ventilation as it felt damp. Santa helped us arrange all the activities with ease and the Zipline activity is a must do!! Will definitely return, our go to spot in puerto plata! Thank you to the staff, the city and the owner!

The View is spectacular, but there were some minor inconveniences.
The pictures of the house were very accurate. The view is amazing. The staff was excellent, Santa made sure that we was comfortable during our stay. Carlos was there to ensure that not only was the pool and whirlpool clean, but fixed the shower head in bathroom number 7. The house is a beautiful house, however, there are signs of wear and tear. There was evidence of leaks and the furniture in the common rooms was out of date and worn. The internet was not the best. You are only able to get signal on the first floor and partially on the terrace. The internet was extremely slow and is not wifi, but operate with the phone line, so it means that you can't use the phone and be on line at the same time. Electricity was very weak, we reported it to both to Santa and Carlos and they informed us that it was a local situation. In some rooms, you could not have the lights and the AC on at the same time. The breeze from the ocean while on the terrace was superb! Each bedroom had an AC unit, however, that did not exist in the common rooms. The Living Room, Dining Area, Den, Gym/Recreation Area did not have AC and it was noticeable. Windows in the Living Room did not have a net, so if you open them, a lot of flies came in. The hill was not as bad as we thought walking up or down, it was actually refreshing. The best thing over all about this trip was the excellent staff and service that we experience.

Amazing property with wonderful staff and fabulous views
The house is better than the pictures. It is spacious inside and out and easily accommodated our group of 16. The pool, the hot tub and the views are one of a kind. We spent a lot of time on the upstairs porch and relaxing in the hot tub in the evening....just wonderful. The hot tub is drained everyday and takes a little time to heat up, so plan accordingly.
Everyone on the staff was so friendly and accommodating. The staff went grocery shopping and prepared 2 meals a day for us. The meals were fabulous. Plan on eating out on the first day of check in. Everyone had a smile on their face and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. They also helped arrange our tours and did a great job of keeping the house very clean.
Overall the house was in great shape but there were a few little things that could be addressed. The screens on the sliding glass doors had rips in them. There weren't many bugs but it only takes a few to be annoying. We were a big group and were in the water a lot which created a challenge of having enough dry towels. Small things in the grand scheme of things.

Beautiful Ocean View
Our trip was with 4 couples. The views from the balcony and pool are breathtaking! The house is awesome, although a little on the worn side. It could use a little freshen up. The beach they talk about, really isn't in walking distance ( unless you like mountain hiking ), but we found a lovely beach an hour away. The best part of this rental is Santa and the staff. Santa was awesome, and took care of arranging everything for us. And the staff was terrific. They kept the house super clean, and cooked us awesome Dominica meals all week!!!!

2nd Home
After staying at the Bentley 4 or 5 times it is my 2nd home. Nowhere else in Puerto Plata will do, the staff, view and amenities are superb. The staff has always been outstanding, particularly Santa (excellent Host and Cook), Carlos and even the night guard make a great team.
