Further details for this vacation villa rental in Playa Cofresi, Dominican Republic

The House:

The house is well maintained. Paulina you cook, maid will keep it spotless. She cooks local foods which are plentiful and fresh. Juliio, our gardener/maintenance man has a 6 passenger van for rent to guests.

The Beach:

Playa Cofresi is 100 yards away. It is a well protected cove. The water is always warm and swimming is great year around. Dress on the beach runs from some to none. There is a dive shop on the beach run by a German company that operates daily trips for diving and snorkeling. If you want to learn or update your scuba diving they are great.

The area:

There is lots of info on the DR on the net so I won't repeat it here. The immediate area is hilly to mountainous. Great hiking or easy walking. There are many things to do within a days drive. Our manager will help with tours.

Villa del Sol

Review Submitted: March 16, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Everything about our trip last month to Villa del Sol was wonderful! It was our first trip to the D.R. but will not be our last! We found the country and people to be beautiful. Joe did a great job of organizing us for the trip. From the moment we arrived at the airport, Joe had everything all lined up for us to start enjoying our vacation. All the people involved were nothing but helpful and well organized. Julio had us picked up from the airport and at the Villa in next to no time; Gabino was there on Monday morning to make sure we were all settled in; and Gus arrived right after breakfast our first morning to help us get lined up with the tours we wanted to do. The best part of the whole experience though was Paulina. We have traveled to several different islands, but we have never rented a place with a cook/housekeeper before! Paulina was really delightful. We knew "un poco" Spanish, but Paulina was very patient with our attempts at the language and she prepared tasty meals too! Our favorite spot was the galleria; we generally started our day and ended our day there enjoying the beautiful countryside and weather! What we enjoyed about our trip to the D.R. was the fact that the people were really friendly and there are plenty of things to do and see, or not if you chose that. Villa del Sol was a very comfortable home to stay in, and Joe was really wonderful to work with. Joe, we hope to return soon! Lisa, Ron, Lori and Bruce

Review Submitted: March 18, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
To say our stay at Villa Del Sol was amazing would be a huge understatement! Paulina was absolutely perfect, providing us with delicious food and keeping the house in top shape. Juan was wonderful in helping translate everything and also helping around the house. The beach is tranquil and relaxing and only a short walk from Ahora (a charming beach bar) and the resort which offers banana boats and other exciting activities! The Casino provided a thrilling nightlife (although lots of money was lost!) and ocean world was perfect for daytime sun bathing and drinks! The locals were more than welcoming and were generous enough to show us around the area and point us in the right direction! I would recommend Chris and Madys for anything, they are so nice and very reasonably priced! All in all, it was wonderful! I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone and everyone!

Review Submitted: August 15, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We just returned (July29th-Aug.5th) from the Villa del Sol and had the best vacation that we have experienced yet. Paulina made the most delicious meals and was a joy. Gus, Gabino and the other helpers made sure we scheduled the tours we wanted. The Jeep Safari was excellent. I would suggest to buy the CD of the tour. It captures the whole experience. The people were warm and helpful. The restaurants had excellent meals and were reasonably priced. My daughter loved the cable cars, I loved the horseback riding on the beach. It was the best.
We had 6-7 people stay comfortably. The beach was great. The kids loved snorkeling.
Thank you all for a great week. We will miss you. We will be back.
God Bless you all,
Mary Hughes

Review Submitted: April 27, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
Our February trip to the Dominican Republic was the perfect getaway from the unoredictable cold of February in the NorthEast.
With two kids under 5 years and a pregnant mom, it was great to have the convenience of a house plus the help of Paulina to keep the food coming! An added bonus was having Ocean World just a short walk from our cozy street. Though the immediate neighborhood was low-key, it was easy to go out for any meal and, of course, the ocean was just a short walk away. We will definately be returning!
