Great Time. Amazing Staff

This house was perfect. Everything from start to finish was perfection. Planning the trip from transfers to golf Janet was so helpful all the way until we left. The chef Felix was amazing. All the food was delicious and even when we threw a twist into the menu, he didn’t skip a beat. John the butler was so helpful the entire stay. We had an engagement on the beach and John and maid Maria were so awesome on decorating the house for our return, with decorations and banners. They truly make up a dream team. The house is so beautiful. The location is great! Definitely will book again when we venture back to DR!

I booked this house within 5 weeks of arrival. Janet was attentive in making sure all my questions were answered--which were many regarding food/beverage options, hotel transfers, golf tee times, tennis clinic, massages, etc. Upon arrival to the house, the staff greeted us with big smiles and were eager to please. from hello. Felix, the chef, sang as he cooked and delivered delicious meals all week long. John, the Butler, and Maria kept the house in tip top shape--accommodating our every request. Stig, the Project Mgr was quick to amend reservations, coordinate new activities and give his expert opinion. **Massage was the best I have ever had. Regarding excursions, do the private catamaran and skip the dune buggies unless you're looking for a more touristy outing. Kudos to the team, we will book again!!

Even prior to us getting there we knew the stay would be great. Janet the host, was amazing. She made sure everything was in order and never missed any of my texts or calls. The villa manager received us well and accommodated us accordingly. The chef, the gardener the maid everyone was exceptional. The food was delicious! I could write on and on about the staff. The excursion coordination, the packed lunches to go, even if we had a slight shift in schedule the staff stuck by us and made it one of our best trips ever as a family. Thank you to you all.

Everything about this place is perfect. Staff, food prepared by the chef, property and location. I could not have asked for more. I HIGHLY recommend booking this property. Zero negatives, I just wish I could have stayed longer!!

Amazing stay at Villa Blanca with a first rate staff! Our experience could not have been better.

First, I’ll start off with we had a diverse group a baby 18 months, 2 10 year old kids and 9 adults. The home had enough space and distance within the house that no one got tired of one another (always a fear). The meal plans, we will only did breakfast and dinner. We always had left over food for lunch. It’s a lot of food, and amazing quality. You can actually be fairly diverse with your daily meals especially if you buy the food to cook. Creating your menu with Cecilio. The staff was phenomenal, truly took the experience to another level John our butler was attentive and on top of everything. The Chef, Cecilio is a beast, simply amazing with great diversity in the kitchen. We are foodies and we must say from his steaks, to pasta, seafood, to conventional Spanish food it was all top level quality! Maria did an amazing job of keeping us adequately stocked and ensuring the house was always clean for our entertaining of guests. We go 5 plus stars, we can’t wait to go back.

The property itself was beautiful and exactly as pictured. But what really made this a great experience was all the support staff. Having a concierge help plan our trip and a chef cook all our meals was life changing.

Cant wait to go back. Food prep by chef, cleanliness from Maria, and Jhon all went above and beyond what we couldve asked for!

Property was exactly as the pictures on the website! The staff was WONDERFUL!

The house is very large, great cook and service, located on the golf course

Arriving from Europe. The well-kept front garden welcomes you. The staff, were waiting us at the front porch. Dominican Style sncks were prepared in the big hall. Goes very well together with an Ice cold Corona, after 10 hours flight. We had 12 day of fun end luxury. 3 families. Our choice of breakfast, lunch and Dinner was everyday prepared by our fabulous Cook... We prerented 2 nice red Golf-cart by our Event manager Stig. They gave us so much fun and joy. Everyday we drove around to the 2 complimentary BeachClubs, and Beaches..... Nice. All in All, what a fantastic holiday, Thanx to Stig, John & theri Staff.

I recommend it 100%

Villa Blanca is a true luxury home with amazing amenities. Our group of 10 had more than enough space to hang out and have our own space. The home is as pictured and even better. The pool area is amazing. we loved the outdoor covered porch with sofas, TV and bathroom to hang out. The main home is amazing. The furnishings are high end: bedding, towels, sofas, pool chairs, etc. I worry about furnishings with rental homes, but this is truly high end hotel standards. Overall, I could not be happier with the home. As for the service, it was even better. The butler, chef, maid and property manager were amazing. It was so nice to have fully cooked meals 3x a day, not having to worry about anything. drinks anytime we wanted and so much more. Having Jhon around for anything that we needed: turning on the jacuzzi jets, managing lights, moving some chairs around, literally whatever we needed, they were there. But the best part, what not "what" they did, but "how" just truly friendly people who have only one goal: ensure you have an amazing vacation. I'm very picky with service and this was hands down amazing. Group Palmera was also amazing. the process leading up to our stay was so comforting. The detail in which they planned our stay before we arrived was amazing. we have so many very unique diet issues and they made it all happen. very responsive to anything we needed. really great service. all in all, amazing stay. amazing home, amazing service in home, amazing rental company managing the whole thing.

A lovely place and the staff were excellent

Everything was perfect. Chef is incredible

We have vacationed and rented villas in the DominIcan for the past 9 years. A group of10 just spent 7 nights at this beautiful property that backs on to the La Cana golf course. The entire staff went beyond the call of duty and made all of us feel right at home. The Chef provided us with 3 meals a day and all were absolutely top notch. The villa had lots of room for 5 couples and lots of space to be alone if you wanted to. Tv’s were located in all bedrooms as well as in the tv room and the outdoor terrace. The swimming pool and hot tub was used around the clock. We played 5 rounds of golf at Punta Espada which is one of the best Golf courses you will ever play. Half the holes are right on the ocean and is very visually stimulating. Just want to thank Anders and the entire staff for exceeding our expectations each and every day. We will definitely be back.

We stayed at Villa Blanca for a week with our family of 11, ranging in age from 9 months to 66 years old. It was a wonderful vacation. The house and casitas are just as lovely as in the photos. The property is spacious, well appointed and well cared for. The pool with jacuzzi was delightful and the outdoor living room was a haven from the sun and occasional rain bursts. The location is perfect between two beaches easily reached by a lovely walk or fun golf cart ride. The house is very near the airport, which is welcome after a long flight, but we surprisingly never heard any airplanes. The staff is wonderful. Jhon, the butler, was attentive and fulfilled any requests with ease and cordiality. We loved his signature rum drinks and the children loved his daily smoothies. He was so great with the children. Celilio, the chef, was excellent providing delicious meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was enough variety in the menu and the food was so good that there was no desire to eat anywhere else. Maria was very sweet and efficient. Stig, the concierge, visited us daily to make certain we had everything we needed and arranged for in house massages and made sure all arrangements were taken care of such as golf rounds and a catamaran excursion. Even the gardener, Fernando, delighted everyone with his gifts of coconuts which he opened in front of us so we could have our first taste of fresh coconut juice. Thanks to the advance concierge, Janet, every detail was planned and flawlessly executed and all went smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a thing, just sat back and enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Only disappointment: Distance from the ocean

Our multi-generational family of 8 adults and 3 children stayed for 2 amazing weeks at Villa Blanca and it was absolutely wonderful. The villa is so beautiful and very spacious. The best part is definitely the swimming pool and adjacent outdoor lounge where we spent most of our time. The bedrooms are super comfortable and everything is kept nice and clean my Maria (the maid). We ate like royalty every day thanks to our fantastic Chef Axel and the delicious food he served - in abundance! And our super butler, John, served delicious piña colada by the pool and our gardener, Fernando, was kind to get us fresh coconuts several times during our stay. The location of the villa is perfect. Just a 5-7 min walk and you're on the beach by the golf clubhouse. We had a couple of golf carts to drive around the resort and could easily go over to Playa Blanca... I enjoyed morning walks on the beach and watching the sunrise over the ocean. The resort where the villa is located is very safe and clean and it was fun to walk around the neighborhoods and check out the million dollar mansions! I would definitely recommend Villa Blanca for a family vacation, leisure or even a golf vacation.

The property was lovely - clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated with comfortable beds. The pool area is beautiful and was in constant use. But, the staff, John, Axel, Maria, and James were over the top and felt like like family. The were attuned to our every need. The meals were outstanding and Axel provided lots of little extras - snacks around the pool, fresh pineapple juice for pool-side cocktails, and freshly made guacamole. If he heard us mention something, it appeared. James made arrangements for anything we wanted, including transportation for my sister and brother-in-law to come from another resort to have dinner with us at the house. They did not want to return to their resort. John and Maria meet our every need before we even knew we needed something. Thank you to everyone for making our 50th anniversary celebration an event we will always treasure.

We spent a week here with our kids and another family. Everyone absolutely loved the house. We spent a ton of time in the pool, and ate in most of the time due to the great food provided by the chef, Axel. The beach is a very easy golf cart ride away. The location of the house is perfect and the house itself is just beautiful and very family friendly. The staff makes it even better. Highly recommended!

Our group was thrilled with the accommodations and services offered at Villa Blanca! The villa itself is exquisite - elegantly and luxuriously furnished, with private suites. We really enjoyed having the Chef prepare delicious gourmet meals for us on most nights. We had a range of seafood, Italian and Dominican specialties - all were scrumptious. The location is terrific (in the Punta Cana Resort area, quiet and close to fine dining) and away from the noisy tourist areas. The Villa Manager looked after all of our requirements, and the Staff on site took great care of us. HIGHLY recommend this Villa for a luxurious vacation!

Villa Blanca was a perfect spot for two families (4 adults / 4 children all under 10yrs old) to spend a week of vacation. It would also serve very well for group golf vacation (it's on the 2nd hole of a golf course). Heck, with two unused bedrooms we could have invited a third family. The backyard/pool area was spacious enough for everyone, the beach a short golf cart ride away (the kids loved driving golf carts), and the area had numerous fun excursions (check out the ecological reserve! we also enjoyed the Bebe Catamaran trip). The Group Palmera people were awesome in helping plan our vacation from start to finish, including day-trip excursions (thanks Janet!). Everyone we encountered upon arrival at Villa Blanca was committed to ensuring we had the best possible time (thanks Stig, John & Co). We would highly recommend the chef, butler, and maid service. The staff was great and we ate like kings/queens all day everyday (the food had a very local flavor/presentation). Not having to worry about cooking or cleaning for everyone was a major plus. The property has a small wine refrigerator with quality wines available (about 2x US retail prices) which we felt was a nice add-on for our dinners. There were two small negatives. First, building construction is occurring on both sides of the property. The construction was infrequent and not loud while we were there (it was not intrusive). However, the construction is certainly something to be mindful of. Second, the master bedroom shower wasn't working for our stay. Hopefully, that was just temporary. I will definitely recommend Villa Blanca to friends. I hope to be back again soon!

Villa Blanca was absolutely perfect! The house is even more beautiful in real life. We had the best stay and everyone was so wonderful and helpful. The food was delicious. It was absolute paradise and I hope to be able to return!

We loved this place. The management staff (Janet & James) before and during were always there for our every need. The food was awesome (Thanks Chef Axil!). John and Maria were amazing as well with making sure we had everything all day to maximize your experience. Use of golf carts made everything so close. Beautiful beaches, shopping and boat excursions were conveniently close. Highly recommend for anyone.

This past MLK weekend, myself & 11 girlfriends rented Villa Blanca for a trip to celebrate everyone turning 30 this year. The entire experience, from initial inquiry to getting dropped off at the airport has beyond surpassed my expectations and was better than I could have ever imagined. Bianca coordinated the airport transfers and all house details with us and was so helpful and accommodating during the whole planning process. There were (4) separate arrivals & departures, some traveling from other states & everything was smooth thanks to Bianca being so detailed and thorough. When entering the house we were greeted by James, John and Maria. Aside from being blown away by how stunningly beautiful the home itself was, they were so welcoming, friendly & professional and made us feel right at home the minute we got there. We ended up booking the house chef, Axel upon arrival and it was one of the best decisions of the trip. Axel worked with us to identify everyone’s food preferences, allergies and accommodated each meal based on the activities of the day. Each morning we woke up to an amazing breakfast, coffee and juices ready when we walked downstairs. There is an incredible square table in the dining room that fit everyone perfectly. I personally am a pain (vegetarian) when I asked him for something different he was SO nice and took care of me right away. All of his food was seasoned & cooked perfectly, everyone cleared their plates each meal. Thank you for the amazing food Axel!! We stayed at the house pretty much the entire trip, there’s a beach to walk to across from the golf course, though it’s very hard to leave once you get there. You have everything you need and there were so many balconies & lounge spaces all over the property which was great for such a big group. Overlooking the lush golf course you truly are surrounded by beauty at Villa Blanca. As amazing, clean and nice the house and bathrooms were, we cannot stop saying only the best things about James, Jon, Maria, Axel, Bianca and Anders. The treatment we received when we were there was better than any resort, hotel or restaurant I’ve ever experienced. They all were so friendly and sweet, laughing with all of us and ensuring everyone was having a great time during our whole stay. They really felt like part of the trip, and made us feel like we were part of the home. We cannot thank the team at Villa Blanca enough for making our vacation so special.

On the plus side, the chef, butler & housekeeper provide excellent service. Chef Axel prepared some great meals. The property manager followed up with our needs on a daily basis. Apparently,the property was recently renovated after incurring some hurricane damage. There were minor leaks in the roof & windows during heavy rains. Regulating the hot water flow while showering was a major issue. The "hot tub" was luke warm at all times. Some windows in the master bedroom needed shades or curtains. We were told that shampoos & lotions would be provided but management had to procure these after we requested them upon arrival. Not all bathrooms were supplied with hairdryers. We normally frequent the Ritz at St Thomas but Hurricanes wiped out that facility for the 2018 winter season. Thus, we are accustomed to 5 Star treatment and this fell a bit short of 5 Star. We loved the DR & the location of this property. It sits on the 2nd hole of the La Cana golf course & is a short golf cart ride to two nice beaches. It is a ten minute ride to the Punta Cana airport. I would definitely lease this property again if the above-mentioned items are rectified.
