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.

Other Activities: Hiking

Villa del Sol

suzuki babe Appleton, WI
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
Owner's Response: We are always grateful for these reviews. Our staff work very hard to make our guests visits as memorable as possible.

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

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!

It's been a week since we got back from the Dominican Republic, and we are missing it terribly. Your villa was the perfect getaway! Paulina, Juana and Gambino were a pleasure to meet. They were so helpful: all our questions were answered, we were so well taken care of, and the food was nothing short of paradise.

One of the best things we got to do on the trip was to climb (or be pulled up) seven waterfalls, which was preceded by a really educational tour of some interesting aspects of dominican life (grinding coffee in a wooden mortar, dominican sculpture and art, cockfighting, and a HUGE bull). I would strongly recommend everyone who visits to go on the tour, and to bring gifts and stationary to the children you will see along your way. We didn't bring anything with us and regretted it.

Thank you so much for accommodating our huge party of 11 and being a great correspondent. We are so grateful for having had the opportunity to stay at Villa Del Sol. I have been recommending it to my friends and we can't wait to make another trip back!
