Blissful Vavction
Happle Couple in Paradise  Needham MA USA
Review Submitted: March 31, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
Cindy,

Words cannot describe how wonderful our stay was at your villa. Truly. Jane and I agree, we have never had a more relaxing, blissful - just heavenly week in our entire lives. That is no exaggeration.

The villa itself is wonderful, of course, with its spacious, airy, beautifully decorated rooms that feel at once homey and luxurious (which is pretty amazing, since we don't live in luxury at home), its meticulously kept pool, its many amenities. The location, up on that hillside overlooking the beaches, the ocean, the mountain...is stunning. The people of the island - be they expatriates from the mainland or natives - are as warm and kind as any we've met anywhere. And there are far more places to see and enjoy than we could find the time to explore in our eight days.

I could go on and on about our stay, as you can probably tell! But I have to say, what made it extra special and memorable was your staff. Julio and Nelsida are wonderful! They waited on our every need like pros but treated us like family. Neither of us speak Spanish beyond por favor and gracias yet Julio's pretty-good English and Nelsida's infinite patience made it so we never missed a beat. By the time we were due to pack our bags to go, we knew we would not only miss the paradise that is the island and your villa, we would miss Julio and Nelsida even more.

So thank you, Cindy, for that home away from home. It's like an alternate universe, where our stresses and troubles are nowhere to be found, but a sense of comfort and well-being - not to mention joy and plain fun - is as pervasive as the air we breathed. God, we miss it!

Wonderful Villa Vacation
Review Submitted: June 18, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Hi Cindy,

Staying at your villa was wonderful. I was actually able to relax and enjoy the house we fell in love with the Nelsida, Julio and the house. The house was so comfortable and homey feeling we loved everything. The only thing that got us was those outdoor little biting gnats. But we still had a good time and I needed to relax because I was trying to get over having pneumonia it was indeed a good medicine. We enjoyed it so much that I will be contacting you by the beginning of the year because we want to go back the same time next year for 7 days. Thank you for giving us your vacation home so that we could have a wonderful vacation.

Wonderful Time
Review Submitted: June 18, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Cindy,

I just wanted to let you know that everyone had a wonderful time at your villa. The house is so comfortable and I didn't have to worry about the kids tearing anything
up! My oldest grandson was excited because he took the room with the bunk beds and had it all to himself. My granddaughter moved around from room to room. The two babies took to Nelsida and Mercy right away. I almost think they understood what they were saying because they just laughed whenever they talked to them. On Saturday I was at my wits end with them crying while Nichole (my daughter in law) was having a massage and each of them took a baby to the patio and they were asleep within minutes.

The meals were great and it was so nice having them ready when we got back each day. And the pina coladas were wonderful!

Everyday was an adventure. The kids did the cable car, catamaran, white water rafting, diving, dune buggies, horseback riding, water falls and fishing (with no luck). I had one morning to myself and only did the cable car, catamaran and part of the waterfalls. But I did have 3 massages while there but still need a vacation to recover from the vacation!

The 2 older kids said this was their favorite vacation and could we please stay longer. We will definitely come back!

Gail (June 2009)
Owner's Response: I'm glad the kids had a 'favorite' vacation and participated in so many of the tours & activities. There is no shortage of things to do! I am more like you... just give me a massage (every day would be fine!) a good book and a float in the pool. That’s what I call vacation.

I am also happy to hear the maids were a helpful with the babies. I know when my children were just toddlers they helped me immensely.

When my middle son was just 4 months old and very colicky I went to Cofresi. The maid was instructed to watch him every single moment so I could relax. At one point I realized I had not heard him crying—which he always did non-stop. I could not find him or the maid anywhere and briefly became alarmed.

I finally found them both in the darkened bedroom. My son was asleep in the crib and the maid was literally watching over him... waiting for him to wake up so she could scoop him up before he started to cry. I could not believe the attention she paid to him. I would not have been able to relax without her... and I have been forever grateful. My son is now 21 and no longer cries :-)

Wonderful Fabulous Vacation
West Coast Girl  Seattle
Review Submitted: June 10, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Hi Cindy,

I was a part of Megan’s party at your wonderful house in Cofresi. We had a wonderful time, vacation was fabulous...great weather the first half. We went on the catamaran/snorkeling trip Monday, took the city tour Wed. Really enjoyed both. We were very impressed with the staff. Julio and Nelsida were fabulous. We had Nelsida with us the whole time. We weren't sure how we'd feel having someone else around, getting us drinks, etc. We're pretty low key people. She was great....learned our preferences quickly, was pleasant, helpful and not at all intrusive. And between my high school level Spanish and Google Translator, I think we did ok on the communication.

Julio was very helpful too. We had the silly idea we could just grab a cab and go to some of the city places we wanted to go. As soon as he found that out he stopped us and found us a wonderful, friendly guide. We were sooo glad he did because we really didn't have a clue! The one thing we didn't do was the cable car. We missed our chance by lounging around the pool one of the sunny days. Oh well...next time.

One thing you may want to warn guests about.....there are many guys from the Lifestyles Resort driving around the area in golf carts. They all want to take you to the resort for a tour. We politely declined several times, but curiosity eventually got the better of us. We were ushered into a "VIP" area and sat for an hour listening to a vacation timeshares sales pitch. We told him, that the tour was interesting but we would need to consult with parents/attorney. He turned pretty quickly. Berated us for leading him on that we were not going to hand over $45,000 (on the spot) etc.

The real kicker was when he took back the "complimentary" bottle of Rum he gave us. All in all, a horrible experience. We have attended similar sales pitches and have never been treated so poorly. When we returned to the villa, we were sooo glad to be back and have our wonderful staff!!

So that was our trip...all in all, a great experience, very relaxing. No problems at all with your house or staff....in fact we kept commenting after our 'tour' how grateful we were we that we choose your villa and not some resort!!

Regards, Jill
Owner's Response: Hi Jill,
Thank you for your review and kind words about the staff and villa.

I am sorry you had such a bad experience with the Lifestyles Salesmen. Unfortunately some of these salesmen have been known to become overly aggressive... to the point of being rude. Many homes in the area have complained of this issue and action has been taken. At least now the salesmen are not allowed to approach the homes. My staff has been instructed to tell guests to just ignore them; I am sorry if they forgot to warn you. The local Cofresi police force has also been informed about this harassment so they look to keep the salesmen away from non-resort guests. Rest assured I will mention this problem to the local neighborhood association so that it can be corrected once and for all.

I am glad you were able to return to the comfort of the villa (with courteous staff) and enjoy your vacation

Best Regards,
Cindy

Perfect Escape
Review Submitted: May 20, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
My vacation at visit Villa Vista del Mar in April 2009 was total rest and relaxation. I live in Florida where the weather is warm and sunny all year long, and I can honestly say that after a little over a week in Cofresi I have never been so relaxed in all of my life.

For starters, the weather is ideal. The villa is a quick walk from the beach so ocean breezes cool you off as you lie in the hammock or take a nap in the pool. The sun warms up the pool water so it is perfect for lounging in all day and night. The house is definitely built for relaxation as the pool is encircled by a wide patio with plenty of comfortable cushioned chaises that are great for afternoon siestas. Our bedroom had a beautiful huge balcony; complete with a hammock that overlooks the hillside from which you can see the water gently lapping at the shore and also had a breathtaking view of a mountain that was a wonderful backdrop. In terms of natural beauty, the view and the sounds of the shore at night really cannot be beat.

The food was expertly prepared by two fantastic staff, and delicious and very fresh. Every day we enjoyed fresh fruit, Dominican coffee, local beef, fall-off-the-bone pork and more. ALL of our meals were out of this world. Eating outside with views of the beautiful surroundings in Cofresi, and being served by Nelsida and Mercey—two of the nicest, friendliest, and most accommodating people you could ask for made each meal fantastic. Since they attended to all of our needs, including making the beds, cleaning, cooking, and of course serving refreshments and ice cold beers non stop, there was never a need to think of responsibility or any care in the real world.

There were plenty of excursions to choose from and the Complete Guide Book provided helpful information about the Dom Rep. including all the tours & activities. But it was pleasant to just lounge at the house all day and soak up the weather and good vibes. The beach is only a short walk away and definitely worth the trip, and also a great place for a morning run.

Without a doubt this vacation was the perfect escape that allowed me to recharge my batteries and come back feeling refreshed and relaxed, and Villa Vista del Mar was the main reason for that. I would definitely recommend to anyone considering a vacation to stay at your beautiful villa and take full advantage of all it has to offer.

Thanks for all your help booking this! Josh
