This villa is lovely - and Augustine the butler is a real star - but it is on the edge of the golf course and just out of view of the sea (so you do feel slightly disadvantaged compared with some neighbouring villas). A big irritation was the building works going on all around and from the look of the complex (which is apparently the side of Manhattan) as a whole this will be continuing for years. On the very first morning at 8am a bulldozer and digger started up opposite the end of our pool terrace and continued for hours. We alerted the property manager to this and were told that the works were scheduled for each of the days we would be staying. An emphasised complaint was effective and after that we were disturbed on only about 3 more occasions, but when the machinery started up it really spoiled the ambience around the pool. The villa is a very long distance from the nearest grocery store. I particularly like to cook (i.e. set cater) - it is a hobby of mine. It was therefore very inconvenient not to be able to just pop out to a local outlet. There are probably more US visitors than most and they would be used to the heavy tipping culture. We from the UK aren't. this villa, whilst not top tier in price, is still very expensive and we found it grating that the recommendation for the villa staff is to tip at 10% of the villa rental. It is shocking that despite the high rental prices the owning companies aren't paying their staff properly (if this is the case?!) In my view the "recommended tip" should be made clear in the pricing of the villas so that guests can choose their accommodation more specifically according to their budget. Finally, although this villa could actually sleep 14 adults (we were only 6) there are just 4 sunbeds supplied by the pool. There should be one per potential guest. It would be a nice touch too if they would include drinkable water for all guests (it isn't safe even to clean your teeth with the tap water and as mentioned above there is no convenient nearby store + if you use the staff services to shop they apply a 15% charge ++!).

The team was just over the top incredible. We didn’t lift a finger the whole time. Augustine, the butler, made sure we had a fresh drink at all times and made dozens of pina coladas for our four children throughout our stay. We enjoyed riding the golf cart in the evenings and the meals made by Julio were so delicious! We made many beautiful lifetime memories on this trip. Thank you so much!

Had a wonderful time made even better by the great staff - Augustin - the Butler, Amorilis - House Keeper, Bianca - Villa Manager, and Julio our chef who provided terrific service throughout our entire 10 day stay. Was like staying in a luxury resort that we had all to ourselves. Villa is located on the 8th hole of Punta Espada - a beautiful seaside golf course. Very large home with nicely appointed rooms. Would strongly recommend it for a vacation with family and friends or even a guys golf trip.

Like any trip with a group of people, things come up, this crew was helpful and friendly throughout it all. Looking forward to another stay at the MTV Cribs style house with some of the best experiences on the island. Special thank you to the staff at the house, you made the trip better than we could have imagined.

This house is incredible! We could not have booked a better home for our family vacation. The location, the view, the modern layout of the home. There was plenty of space for all of us (although we were mostly outside in the sun!) and the staff onsite was fantastic. We had our meals cooked for us each night and the food is something to write home about! I would highly recommend this property for your vacation and Taylor does such a great job at setting it all up for you!

Incredible house! indoor / outdoor living throughout. Easy 15 min ride to and from airport arranged for us by local concierge. 3 person staff (including the private chef that was arranged for us at an unbelievable value) were like part of the family by the time we left 5 days later. We had a great time and plan to return in the future!

This is a stunning home in Cap Cana, the premier resort of Punta Canta. The staff was glorious, taking care of meals, transportation, and recreation. If you need a large house, with lots of sleeping quarters, this works great. If you need something a bit smaller, this home is still intimate. A great room overlooks the pool and serves as the center of fun and relaxation. We cannot recommend it highly enough.

Home was bful and staff was even better!

This property was amazing. The butler and maid made us feel like we were famous. I have never returned home from a trip with all my clothes clean before. Augustine was so awesome and drove us everywhere and took care of us. His English was better than my Spanish but what we couldn't communicate we made up with using google translator. We also used the chef for a few meals and my only advice would be to use him for ALL the meals. His cooking was way better than anything we got at the restaurants. However the breakfast by Augustine was amazing the other days when we didn't want to go out early. If you want to know what your kids lives are like, and have someone cook, clean, and pick up after you, this is the place to stay.

The property is quite beautiful, nicely decorated, modern and clean. The beds were super comfortable and all furnishings attractive. The housekeeper and butler were outstanding. They were always helpful and added a lot of extra touches -- fresh flowers, beautiful centerpieces and table decorations, cocktail-time snacks without being asked. They kept the house clean and tidy at every moment. (They speak almost no English. Not an issue for our group, but non-Spanish speakers might like to know ahead of time so they can be prepared to use a translation software or app.) The house is accurately reflected in the pictures and does not disappoint. The Cap Cana area was not at its best in June; many restaurants and the golf course were closed seasonally. Still, can't beat the luxurious setting, weather, and good times with friends! Will return sometime when golf course is open--we walked it and it looks fabulous.

From the moment we arrived at the airport until the time we were dropped back off the accommodations, service, etc. was amazing. We stayed for 6-Days in the villa and opted for the additional chef services which is highly recommended as Junior was phenomenal. The onsite Butler Augustine "SuperHombre" as we called him was amazing and took care of your every need as well did Bionca the villa manager which setup all our excursions, dinners we had outside of the villa, and was a delight to work with. The onsite housekeeping was also done very well as Amfirsi kept everything in order behind the scenes. We had 2 adults and 9 kids from 11-16 so the above wasn't an easy task. I would definitely stay here again.

This property is fantastic but what makes it more special is the staff. Maid and butler, who come with the house, hired chef to prepare our meals and house manager all made this trip very special. We would go back in a heart beat.

The house is amazing and comes with a staff! The butler and housekeeper make the experience. the house has indoor and outdoor living, with a private pool, directly on the finest golf course on the island. A 2 minute drive to the golf course, to the beach or the tennis courts! Also, close to Blue Mall (very high end mall) and restaurants. highly recommended for families or golfers looking for a property directly on the course.

en general todo estaba bien

We had a great experience. The staff was fantastic!! We are all ready talking about coming back to the same place next year. I cannot say enough about the staff. Thank you, Pearla, Augustine, Amarilis and Jose. You are the best!!! Do not pass this place up.

Staff was excellent and made us feel right at home.

We stayed on this fabulous property for a week with 5 couples. The spacious 5 bedroom property was more than we could have hoped for. The house came with a butler and house keeper who bent over backwards to address our every whim. When we woke in the morning, the butler Augustine was magically there with coffee. When we were relaxing by the pool, there was Augustine with Pina Colada’s. The house has a beautiful view of the magnificent Punta Espada golf course. We will return to this beautiful property.

My wife and I visited this property with three other couples and had an absolutely wonderful time. This is the perfect home for multiple/large families or a fairly large group. The house is incredible on every level. The courtyard, open living area and dining room with huge unobstructed views (can be open air) of the large pool and travertine deck ,create the perfect environment to relax in a tropical paradise. The property itself is only half of the story.... The staff is AMAZING! Sivia, Augustine, Lilly, and Julio tend to your every need and will make all of the small moments in your vacation a pleasure and a luxury. Weather it is Silvia making sure all of your preplanning is executed, Augustine preparing and serving coffee and/or refreshments all day, Lilly keeping towels and beds neat, or Julio preparing a wonderful local Seafood feast...turn it over to them. They make the trip worthwhile down to the smallest details. Our pre-trip group text has more messages AFTER the trip than before, just reliving this wonderful visit and planning for our next trip. Trip Tips: Let them cook for you. Breakfast and Dinner are sufficient. You can hit a beach club for a day or two for lunch, have a brunch, or late breakfast. We planned day one, then sat down with Julio and Silvia to plan the balance of our meals. The golf course is gorgeous! Plan to play if you can. Eden Roc Resort is a very short distance. Spa, Food, bar expenditures will get you a spot at their beach area if you like.... The other beach options are beautiful and there is great open air afternoon dining options, Silvia can give you guidance...Augustine will drop you off and pick you up in the big Golf cart!!

The property was gorgeous. Every room was well kept, well air conditioned and made you feel at home. The private pool was wonderful! It was quiet and relaxing. Augustine the butler and Amarillia the maid were great - they never let you lift a finger. Any small issue was addressed immediately. We had 3 couples there and all enjoyed our relaxing time in the sun.
