About this villa rental

This luxury oceanside villa features a panoramic view, a private pool, and a housekeeper/cook. It has five bedrooms and eight baths; and it comfortably sleeps up to 16 persons.
Let our spacious new luxury Villa Playamor pamper you in paradise. Our 6,200 square-foot villa is perched on a gentle hillside overlooking the beautiful mile-long Cofresi beach, one of the finest beaches on the Dominican Republic's north shore. Playamor is only a fifteen-minute walk from the spectacular new Ocean World marine eco-park.
Villa Playamor is designed for couples, small groups, or large family reunions. Gather with friends and family on the large terraces overlooking the beach and mountains. Enjoy gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, and the constant cooling trade winds. Or escape to the privacy of your air-conditioned bedroom and private balcony.
Playamor can sleep ten adults in private bedrooms with private baths.


The villa also has the capacity to sleep another six 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. The discrete staff will afford you all the privacy you desire. The private walled pool is perfect for a midnight skinny dip.
Small groups and large families will appreciate the two large family rooms, and the porches and terraces. Our dining table normally seats 12; and the porches can be set up for informal dining. But, 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 American manager.

When you're ready, our bilingual 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 can choose 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 the villa.
Your kids will love the beach and the pool. And when it's time to come in out of the sun, they'll enjoy the ping-pong table, video games, and DVDs that we have provided.
For our handicapped guests, Playamor was designed with your special needs in mind. The entire main floor and the pool area are 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 medical clinic only a few hundred yards from the front door and we have an American trained doctor on call for visits to the villa.

Playamor 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 there are rocks and coral that invite snorkelers. There are usually breakers for body surfing in some areas; but the rest is just right for wading. There are no rip tides, no dangerous undertows, and no jelly fish at Cofresi. The only sharks that you'll 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 up and down the beach.
For exciting nightlife, the casinos and Caribbean discos in Puerto Plata provide an electric atmosphere.

We had a wonderful time. The house and pool were beautiful. There is no star rating for the staff because they are so great! Ms. Nelly was so wonderful, gracious and such a great cook, if you leave the table hungry, it's your fault. The chicken sombreros, stuffed peppers and Tres Leche cake were some of our favorites. One of the highlights was a trip to the grocery store with her. Willie has the best personality, always a smile and helpful for anything needed. The pig roast was great, the host always answered questions (and I had many).There are a few suggestions if you've never been to the DR. 1. Always get a price before buying, even a taxi. They will overcharge if they can. The staff can arrange local, honest drivers. 2. Rent a golf cart for the duration of your stay, Willie is happy to help with this. The house is on the hillside and we opted out of the walk back up hill. 3.There is great little grill at the bottom of the hill Don Limon, he is quite the character. He is Cuban and the food is wonderful and reasonably priced. 4. We took the city tour from Gus who will come by. The guys who did the tour were fantastic, Gus not so much. We paid cash and our nieces said they paid also. When I asked him because he doesn't provide a receipt, he left me a nasty VM. I was just trying to clarify what we paid. We did snorkeling through Dressel dive shop in Sosua. I would book my own excursions next time. We hope to visit here again in the future and see more of the coutryside

Beautiful villa with lots of space for everything and everyone and absolutely gorgeous veiw to the ocean to see sunrise. Nice huge porch with shade and breeze and view to eat or relax, or play games. Everything is super clean! WIFI was stable and good, which was impotant for us since some of us were partually working online. Gabino (manager) is very responsive and helpful. He helped us to organize lots of taxis from airport at literally any time of day, so we felt safe. Nelly and Willy were there for us. They are very friendly and ready to help with everythging! Even if you cook by yourself (like we did) Nelly can buy you some food. But she is an excelent cook! 7-10 min to the beach or restaurant, or small store. I wholeheartedly recomend this villa for big companies!

6 of us stayed at the beautiful Villa Playamor for March Break. Everything was exactly as advertised - the house was huge and absolutely spotless. We'd been in contact with our host multiple times before our stay with so many questions and he was always quick to answer. We had great drivers to and from the airport - a large van with plenty of room for us and all our luggage. Lorenzo was even waiting for us at the airport with a sign with our name! We felt like vips from the moment we landed. The pool and back porch had tons of room for us with shade and sun, and an incredible view. We spent most of our time in and around the pool but we did also do a half day city tour that included the cable car up the mountain. Gus arranged everything for us so we were picked up in a private coach and had our own private tour guide escorting us everywhere. We also took the kids to Ocean World (a 5 minute walk away) and loved it. There really isn't anything to do in the town of Cofresi itself, the beach is ok but a little dirty and there were a lot of people selling things. There is a small convenience store as well but it is pretty overpriced. Nelly took us grocery shopping in Puerto Plata after we chose our meals for the week and everything she made was amazing. If you're traveling from Canada I would suggest you exchange your money to Dominican pesos rather than usd, since you're exchanging anyway and it seemed a bit cheaper that way. All told it was an incredible experience! Thank you

We had an amazing time staying at the Villa. The view , staff, pool , and house were wonderful. Milly and her helper made great meals and took very good care of anything we needed. Gus came the day after we arrived and arranged our excursions. Also arranged for messages and manicures , pedicures right at the villa . Would definitely recommend staying here and you will hate to leave .

What a beautiful Villa and Nelly and Miguelina were just fantastic. Norm, the owner, was super helpful and always communicated quickly to us. I would recommend this Villa to any large groups or families. What a great stay. The food was fabulous and Miguelina kept our rooms nice and clean. Thank you Norm for the wonderful stay.

Villa Playamor was “as advertised”, a gorgeous, spacious villa, beautifully decorated, fabulous views, comfortable beds, lots of lounge areas for quiet reading, wonderful staff and a fantastic pool. We couldn’t have asked for more of the accommodations. The down side for us was Puerto Plata. There wasn’t much to do within walking distance. The beach was a short walk, fine for swimming and playing in the sand but poor snorkeling. Ocean World, also a short walk, was exhorbitantly expensive and the water slides, a main attraction for us, were closed for maintenance so we didn’t go. Transportation was also very expensive for our family of 10 ($40 for a 10 minute ride to Playa Costambar)), as were the tours, which were kind of disappointing. The best part of our stay was the villa itself, relaxing around the pool and swimming (we read some complaints about the water being unheated and cold but we found it was just right), reading, playing games in the evenings. A great place for R&R, but the area not so great for adventure.

The staff was very friendly and helpful!!! Nelly was a great cook and Gus was very helpful with the tours. Marlena helped kept the house very clean. There are only 2 restaurants near place and one had very slow service and average food - best to just eat Nelly's food. The beach was ok but not very large and lots of individuals trying to sell you stuff. Homeowners were great at responding to questions. There were many beds that were average in comfort level. Beautiful house, pool and views. We loved the Waterfalls (only for fit individuals) and City Tour (request Eddie if possible - He was amazing).. Only caught 2 fish on 4 hours fishing tour for 8 people.

The house is wonderful....each bedroom has a separate bathroom, rooms are spacious, there are many different sitting areas if you need a space to read. Willie kept the pool sparkling clean. The housekeepers kept the house spotless even with 2 younger children. The meals Nellie prepared were fabulous. We felt like kings and queens.
