We just got back from a glorious week at Sunrise Villa. We traveled there with three other couples, but easily could have gone with several others. The property was pristine, the grounds and especially the views were spectacular, the accommodations were luxurious, and the staff was fantastic. Could not have picked a better place to stay with friends. Planning to go back with family - can't wait to return! Thanks again to the owners and staff for a wonderful week in paradise.

Magnificent Villa

My wife and I decided on Sunrise after viewing hundreds of properties for our destination wedding. We were accompanied by 16 friends and family members. All of which were well traveled. Not one person was disappointed. In fact it was amazing receiving all the accolades upon arrival at the villa. Everyone was ecstatic with their accommodations. Each couple had their own privacy. Kevin did a wonderful job designing Sunrise Villa taking into consideration privacy and still maintaining and atmosphere for togetherness. The property is very user friendly. The views are spectacular and the grounds are meticulously kept. The villa staf was the icing on the cake ! Every member of the staff were VERY accomodating. The staff informed us upon arrival that this was our vacation and that any request would be met, met they did. They went above and beyond in making sure we had the best possible service. The food was SPECTACULAR ! Not once did we receive a bad meal. Our wedding was held on the property and was one of the most amazing evenings. The staff and wedding planner worked tirelessly to make our wedding perfect. Perfect it was !! We are from a small community and many of our guest are from this community as well. Suffice it to say everyone here at home knows how wonderful Sunrise Villa was, its been the talk of the town. You will not be disappointed if you choose Sunrise for your vacation.

The ultimate group fun spot
Submitted: January 22, 2010
Stayed: January 2010
Sunrise villa is the perfect spot for a Dominican vacation. Our group of 12 had a great week. Forget all-inclusives - this is the way to go. Chris is an excellent host - his advice on activities is invaluable. The staff especially Tania and Sandy take good care of you. This villa's unique setup allows your group it's time together but you can also have your alone time afforded by the individual suites. We were in the Samana suite and the view of the ocean is incredible. The outdoor shower was my favorite. Open all the doors and the sound of the ocean lulls you to sleep.
Our group definitely made use of all the villa's amenities - pool table, sound system, manana bar, outdoor chess set, hot tub and pool. Especially the Manana bar - Presidentes always miraculously appeared. The masseuse is well trained and having a massage right above the ocean is a definite must.
We snorkled right out back and explored the entire area of Cabrera on foot with no problem. The 4 wheeler ride in Abreau is a hoot. The company does a great job of showing you the area and the locals.
One of our gang reached a milestone birthday - we celebrated with him on the beach with a bonfire and music by a local Merengue band then up to the villa to dance the night away to the great CD collection. We were 20 again.
We had lunch on the beach one day at Playa Grande. It was great fun. The food was delicious even served on real plates not paper. The golf course at Playa Grande is architecturally beautifull - so ignore the lack of maintenance. It's still worth playing.
This villa is the real deal. Everything is as advertised! The staff is quick to fix any problems. Imagine coming home with a suitcase full of clean clothing - can't get that with an all-inclusive. Want to have coffee by the pool in your pj's - can't do that at an all-inclusive. Privacy - fun - pampering that's what Sunrise is all about.

A dream wedding at Sunrise Villa
Submitted: November 13, 2009
Stayed: October 2009
My husband and I got married at Sunrise Villa in November 2009 and we could not have asked for a better venue for our big day! Our parents and friends stayed with us at the villa (occupying 7 of the 8 bedrooms) and other wedding guests stayed at a nearby villa and a resort 30 minutes away. We had a beautiful ceremony on the beach, followed by a delicious meal and non-stop dancing. The wedding planner, Monica, was professional, knowledgeable, well-organized, and very easy to work with. She was able to accommodate all our requests and made the wedding planning over email an enjoyable experience. The villa owner was also easily accessible via phone and was eager to answer any questions and offer advice.
The villa itself is a beautiful property, tastefully decorated and meticulously maintained. With 14 adults and 2 children staying at the villa for 4 nights, we all had plenty of space and privacy. The villa staff were wonderful: friendly, professional, hard working, and fun! They made sure we had everything we needed, cooked us delicious meals, and even gave us dancing lessons. The villa manager offered various trips and activities, i.e. golf, day trips, horseback riding...
Overall, Sunrise Villa far exceeded our expectations. The ocean views, the clean and spacious rooms, the privacy, the hot tub, the beautiful pool, the helpful staff... we could have not imagined a more perfect vacation spot. I don't think I can ever stay at a huge, all inclusive resort again!

Best vacation ever!

We took our 3 children, their spouses and 5 grandkids to Sunrise to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. None of us had ever been anywhere so fabulous...from the jaw dropping gorgeous Villa with all its amenities and picture perfect setting, the so very friendly and accommodating staff, Chris and Tanya who seemed able to make anything we needed/wanted appear or happen, to the postcard like beaches and the charming town and welcoming Dominican people. It is a corner of Paradise untouched by commercialism, where you can relax in privacy or get out and meet the people and see the countryside while the staff quietly take care of everything. The website is for real, except you see it in two dimensions. Walking into the Villa is amazing. If you have the chance to go, grab it. One 4-year old grandson declared he wanted to live there forever! Kids speak the truth.

Died and went to heaven!!!
Submitted: June 18, 2009
Stayed: November 2008
I don't know if I can express in words the experience we had at Sunrise Villa. I truly felt like I died and went to heaven. From the moment my husband, in-laws and I stepped off the plane, we were treated like royalty. Part of the "Sunrise Experience" was the VIP treatment you receive starting at the airport. It was the most hassle free airport experience I've ever had. We had our own Customs line, our own room with food and beverages and someone to retrieve our bags, put them in our car and take us straight to the Villa.
We arrived in the evening and my jaw dropped as we pulled up to the driveway. I believe as I walked through the front doors the first thing I said was "This is Sooooo Me"!!!
Our family graciously gave us the water front bungalow but since we arrived in the evening we could only hear the ocean. The next morning as we woke up and looked past our feet out the glass doors the ocean was Right there! It was stunning. The great thing about Sunrise Villas is that even if you go with a large group you still feel like you have your own space. Every couple that came had there own building. It was incredible!
From there the week only got better. We were served on hand-and-foot. My whole family golfed so I spent most of my time at the Villa receiving a message on our patio overlooking the ocean, laying out by the huge pool and reading books in the "Manana Bar". Breakfast lunch and dinner were served to us. I think my favorite part was "Happy Hour" where the staff would make us the most amazing homemade Pina Colada's and have snacks to munch on before dinner.
Chris, Tanya and the rest of the staff were the most accomodating people I've ever met. There wasn't a request that we made that was too big or too small. In addition to the Villa being amazing there are tons of things to do outside of the Villa (although, I preferred to stay there). We went on a sand rail tour that was an absolute blast. The staff made the reservations for us and arranged for a car to take us there.
If you are looking for a vacation destination that gives you 5 star treatment dedicated to you and your guests then Sunrise Villa's is your place.
A huge thanks to the Villa staff for an unforgettable experience.

Thanksgiving Holiday
Submitted: May 31, 2009
Stayed: November 2008
Chris, after the stay we had at Sunrise last year I promised myself that I sit down and write you a note telling you what a wonderful time we had during our last stay. Things being what they are, it’s taken me a while to really appreciate the care, comfort and first class luxury that you and your staff provided. We had, as you might remember, my family, my wife’s sister and husband, my newly married nephew and niece (a total of 10) over the Thanksgiving holiday.
While we expected to have a great time, play some golf and in general have a relaxing week, we were all somewhat skeptical about how a Dominican staff would handle an American Thanksgiving. Your reaching out to us about ‘our’ Thanksgiving expectations and Tanya and the Staff’s execution of our requests couldn’t have been carried out any better!
The die-hard golfers in the group loved Playa Grande, the adventurers were wild about the back road, mud slinging, four wheel Dominican version of Mr. Toad’s wild ride and another highlight was the beach lunch you and the staff arranged.
As a group we can’t wait to visit you again in the very near future. Thanks for a Thanksgiving to remember!
Steve

Another wonderful stay at Sunrise Villa
Submitted: May 17, 2009
Stayed: July 2008
We have stayed at Sunrise Villa twice. Once a group of 10 friends, the second the same group of friends but with our families. The vacation really begins when you land at the airport and are wisked away to a private room where you are provided with food and drink while someone gets your luggage and gets you thru customs. What a great way to start the week! When you arrive at the villa you will realize that the photos on the website do not do it justice. The grounds are stunning and the staff will go out of their way to make sure all your needs are met. One person in our group had severe allergic reactions to a lot of different foods and the Sandy, the cook, and the rest of the staff made sure to meet all her dietary requirements. Chris, the manager and partner, stopped by every morning to make sure everything is running smoothly and Tonia took care of all our day to day needs. When we were at Sunrise Villa with our families we had a group 23 ranging from 10 to 23. All the children (and adults) had a great time. We all enjoyed it so much our group of 23 is returning for our third visit in the summer of 2010 for our son's high school graduation. You couldn't ask for a more wonderful staff or beautiful place to stay.

The best vacation ever
Submitted: May 15, 2009
Stayed: October 2008
We had a total of 5 couples that vacationed at the Sunrise Villa. We arrived at POP airport and had an enjoyable cab ride to the Villa, where Tanya and Chris were there to greet us. The food is excellent and there is plenty of it,and the pantry is loaded with munchies for the late night snacker.
We had everything you could possibly want or need. Wireless internet, phone, satellite television, and a beautiful pool, where most of my time was spent. The bar is fully stocked with top shelf liquor, ice cold beer, pop, and water.
Tanya and Sandy took care of all of our Villa desires. Chris got us on a beautiful golf course called "Playa Grande" WOW! What a nice course. Chris also arrainged for an ocean side lunch, which was beautiful. At night after dinner we would drink, play pool, and listen to an endless selection of great music.
Sunrise Villa is by far the nicest place I've been to. They have a lot of insight as to what the vacationer is looking for, big comfortable beds, great air conditioning, tons of beach towels, lotions, sunscreens, and a staff that is second to none.
Be sure to bring back some of that fine Dominican coffee with you!

Best 40th Birthday Ever!
Submitted: May 15, 2009
Stayed: January 2009
I've been meaning to write you since we got home last week but it's been a whirlwind leaving me to wonder where all the blissful rest went!?!?! I've also been looking for the right words to describe our time at Sunrise Villa (or "Sunrise" and the "DR" as it affectionally know by the "Dominican Divas", "Dominican Dudes" and the rest of Dallas by now) and can only come up with WOW! I've heard stories about the trip and how wonderful it was from people who weren't even there!
Thank you so very much for creating such a perfect place for rest, restoration and relaxation. My husband and I enjoyed our two days in paradise together and then the 16 of us revelled in the beauty of the villa and beach and the care of your staff. The rooms were wonderful, the food amazing (love Sandy!) and the pina coladas won over even the "I don't like fruity drinks" crowd. One gal has told every one how great it was to think..."Hmmmm...I'm hungry and magically appetizers would appear! Hmmmm....I'm thirsty and magically a new batch of Pina Coladas would appear!" She used to work for Rosewood so that speaks volumes! And the 10 cases of Presidente in 4 days speaks for itself. :) We are meeting in a few weeks to look at pictures and drink Presidente if we can find it! There are a few with pool game scores to settle as well. :)
The guys loved the golf and surfing, too. The trip to the beach with the lobster picnic were fun and a slice of the DR. My dad and his friend are interested in coming next January/February to celebrate their 60th birthdays with all the adults kids and grandkids. I hope the course will still be available to non-resort guests. Hubby is determined to get the hang of surfing there, too, both of which make be very happy!
One of our friends said they thought the beach was the most beautiful they'd ever seen. It is so secluded and untouched, almost surreal. The beach party was a great way to welcome our guests! We'll laugh about the limbo with the snare drum and bongos in the background for years to come! The video is priceless!
I hope we'll return before then with another group of friends. We have such great memories which is exactly what I wanted for my birthday. THANK YOU for sharing the paradise you have there.
