Bachelor party group of 7 guys. House fit our needs. Groundskeeping was good, but the daily Housekeeping needs improvement. The homeowner is very responsive and helpful if you need anything or have questions. Overall, I would definitely rebook!

This is the correct place to relax and have Fun

The home is super spacious and even better than what is pictured. Location is great! About a 7 minute walk to the nearby beach that has shops, places to get food and drinks. About a 10 minute drive to the city center. About 45 minutes to nearby town Sosua. 15 minutes from the Puerto plata airport and 1.5 hrs from STI. There is a queen sized bed in each room and there is a bathroom in each room so you can comfortably fit 10-12 ppl in this home. Bedrooms are on the 1st and 3rd floors and there are AC units in each room and throughout the house. I don't think the house has a water heater as the running water was never hot..it was slightly warm most times. The pool area looks just as pictured really nice :). The area was pretty safe but we didn't test it out too much besides walking to and from the beach we were on the property or driving to another destination. However the property is gated and includes the main house, pool house and small quarters where the housekeepers stay which is the best part of this house! Anna one of the housekeepers is the sweetest little Dominican woman.She will clean the pool in the morning, the dishes in the sink and will even cook a traditional Dominican meal if you provide her with the groceries. She speaks No English but it is part of the experience and she will literally do whatever she can to make sure "todo es bien" :) I went with a group of (7) 25 yr olds and we had a blast and cried when we had to leave, she was like our mother while we were there. Barbara the home owner was very responsive which is what reeled me in. I ask several questions about the property and she answered right away each time via text and email. She even got me in touch with a cab driver Israel who ended up being our driver the entire time we were out there and he took very good care of us and gave us really good rates! The only con was on our first night there we did find a couple insects in some of the rooms but after the first night it was not an issue. Not a big enough deal for me not to go back. If i ever return to Puerto Plata I will definitely stay in Barbara's house, it was a great experience overall for a great price!

I stayed here for 5 days with 5 of my friends. You get the impression how amazing the property once you walk up to the gate. The mansion is exactly how it is described with amenities and we especially love the pool, for obvious reasons. The important part of the trip is how easily accessible Barbara is; she gets back to with answers within minutes. Ana and Jose, the 2 attendants at the property are the best too. They help you with whatever it is that you need and in a timely manner too. It's sucks that communication was difficult if you don't speak Spanish but then again, you probably should learn some if you go to their country. Overall, it was an amazing stay at an amazing property and will most DEFINITELY stay here again. Thanks Barbara for letting us use your property.
