Amazing House - Great location
The house was perfect. Big thank you to the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. We caught a marlin and some Mahi one of the days the the staff grilled up some of it and made ceviche with the rest. We would definitely stay here again.

It’s simply paradise
We had the best time at Villa Del Mar. Rebecca and the house is staff is simply amazing! The chef Omar and Sous Chef Joel día a beautiful job preparing our meals, our guests couldn’t stop telling us how amazing the food was. Our bartender Jose prepared the most amazing passion fruit mojitos and drinks. Their attention to detail is remarkable. The cleaning staff is also on point, the rooms equipped and cleaned just like a 5 star resort. We couldn’t be happier. We had an unforgettable vacation.

Amazing villa on the beach!
We had a wonderful stay at Villa de Mar. We were five families with kids ranging from 2 to 12 and had plenty of space in the villa. The villa had everything we needed and we only left once or twice - pool, beach, spacious outdoors, amazing staff and chefs, and a really incredible property manager that was super responsive, easy to communicate with, and had the perfect level of supervision and hands off so we can relax. The staff/chef crew were so nice and helpful, and their food was delicious. The property manager also helped us arrange a catamaran excursion, which was a real memorable highlight! 5 out 5 stars. We will definitely be back!!

Trip of a Lifetime
We stayed here with friends and family for our Wedding. It was unbelievable in every way. Rebecca helped me with questions and activities from 6 months out all the way to the day of. All the staff is amazing. We had 2 under 2 years old with us who loved the pool, and the beach. But be aware the house isn't made with safety of little kids in mind. That being said it has everything anyone whose staying there will need. If we can make it happen, we'll be back someday. Thank you to everyone at Villa Del Mar for making our wedding trip unforgettable!

AMAZING Stay
So we stayed at Villa del Mar as a group of about 25 friends, after my husband and I got married in the city. AMAZING does not even begin to describe the experience. For starters, Rebecca (the property manager) is wonderful. She coordinates everything in advance for you, and has a list of activities with great vendors to work with. The staff at the villa are also phenomenal. We paid Rebecca in advance for our food and drinks, and the Omar always had delicious food ready and Jose had great drinks prepped. The villa is in pristine conditions, the rooms are gorgeous, and the beach is beautiful. Only thing is beware the mosquitos… but being a beach front property with an open concept, there’s really no getting around that aside from lots of bug spray haha. Overall, one of the best experiences we’ve ever had and would love to stay again! Thank you Rebecca and Shauna for everything!

Awesome location, great staff and wonderful vacation. The crew were truly amazing, thank you to Omar/Miguel/Jose/Jenny? and i forget one more who cleaned the rooms. Thanks to the property managers who kindly left their fishing poles for us to use. Only issue we had was one side of the house didn't have hot water. I am completely fine with cold showers, but we had some young toddlers that needed hot baths in the evening. This was fixed mid-way through the stay. Again thanks again and we highly recommend this property. Nik and crw

Awesome Villa
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa Del Mar. We were a group of 19 people ranging from 1 - 80 years young! The staff is absolutely amazing. we alll wanted to bring the chefs Omar and Jose' home with us. We did encounter a few problems with the air conditioning, but they were resolved on a timely matter. The floor around the pool is VERY slippery as stated by every review, but with caution we were safe. The beach area and water were fantastic. If you are a large group, it is the perfect house. The young adults that stayed up late did not keep up everyone else. Loved our trip

EPIC Family Vacation - Exceeded Expectations
Every year our family does a beach vacation on the east coast in the US. I have 6 brothers and sisters and my mother has 16 Grandchildren. This year my Mother is turning 80 so we wanted to do something special. So we booked Villa Del Mar based on the web page and reviews. Our trip exceeded our expectations. Omar and Jose (cooks and bar tenders) were great. The meals were fabulous. How great is it to eat lunch on a bar stool in the house pool. Highly recommend the Pig Roast, it was awesome. We also rented Olivia's Sail Boat for the day and her crew was great. It was a much better value than the other excursions that were offered. Make sure you walk down to Luis's bar on the beach.

Dominican Dream
We had 24 of our family and closest friends come to villa Del Mar to celebrate my 50th birthday. Ages 14 - 77. We charted a bus from Santo Domingo and upon arrival our breath was taken away by the beauty of the property. We were greeted by all the staff with cocktails and appetizers. Everyone was very happy with the accommodations. Three meals were served each day with the ringing of the bell. To this day we are waiting for the bell to ring to eat 😁. Food was amazing!! Chef Omar and team did not disappoint. We chose fresh fish for most dinners with a pig roast one night. Our clothes were cleaned each day along with our rooms. We never lifted a hand. Staff was incro

FABULOUS 50/25
My husband and I shared the villa with 24 other family and friends. Plenty of room and very clean. Rebecca is AMAZING! Very organized, helpful and prompt to respond. Highly recommend the buggy waterfall tour. You get to see all of the city. DuDu lagoon was gorgeous and worth the drive, able to see different part of the country. Do NOT recommend fishing (nothing caught but our own lines) Food was very flavorful, good and plenty for everyone. Breakfast could of had a little more variety. Gisele the bartender one day went above and beyond bringing us drinks to the pool, hot tub and kept the drink area really clean and dry. Jose could of been more consistent with drinks. Do be careful of the wet floor. The ladies did a Great job trying to keep it dry and clean. Miguel was very helpful when needing to go into town. Bring bug spray for Nosema, they started getting us after the storm 1/2 way through our week. 1 suggestion is bring smaller American bills. WATCH OUT for the luggage vultures at the airport when arriving and going to your shuttle bus to the villa. Make sure to pay only your bus driver upon arriving at the villa. I thought the 2 hour bus ride after flying was going to be rough and it was great to see the country, our bus driver was a very safe driver. No worry in the world, was a vacation of a life time! Can't wait to visit again. VERY BEAUTIFUL AND BREATHTAKING!

This is a really impressive place.
We have a family birthday here with three generations (22 people). We loved it. We were floored when we arrived by the mere expansiveness of this well-appointed 20,000 square foot mansion on the beach. The pictures say it all. The cooks and staff were all great and we only left the house once (though many excursions available, we only did the haitises boat tour - also recommended). Massages on site. All meals prepped on site and delicious - just paid for groceries daily. All reasonably priced. The beach is long and has no rocks. Walks to neighboring beaches for waves some days, but calm warm water right in front of the house. We would definitely go back. Bring bug spray - these are the tropics, but by no means a deal- breaker. The ride from the Santo Domingo airport is 2:15, but if you can fly to Samaná, that’s less than an hour. We hired transfer.do to arrange a bus for our whole gang. Some noise from neighbors one or 2 nights, but it was a holiday week. Not exactly toddler-proof, but totally fine for us (10 kids aged 8-20). Lots to keep everyone, including kids busy (hot tub, massage, bocce and volleyball courts, billiard and foosball during the occasional rains, and a fantastic beach). There are options for dining nearby, but we were fine having all meals on site. Very, very highly recommend this spot. Martine, the manager, was very responsive.

50th Birthday celebration with friends!
One word, AMAZING! Don't hesitate on booking this beautiful villa! The property and views are just spectacular! This house is so spacious that even staying with 25 friends didn't feel crowded! And the staff are the icing on the cake! Our cooks, Omar and Joel didn't make a dish we didn't love! Every single one of us enjoyed every meal they made and couldn't wait for the next! Make sure to try some of the Dominican dishes too, you won't be disappointed! Our bartender Jose was amazing, serving us every drink we wanted and making sure we had what we needed every day! He even packed our cooler for our boat trip! Miguel our driver was so sweet too and joined us on our waterfall hike to El Limon! As we hiked in the pouring rain he was right there guiding us down the trail safely! The cleaning ladies are like magicians, I rarely saw them but somehow every room was cleaned daily and on the last day washed our clothes!! We had masseuses come in two days and every single person said it was the best massage they ever had, so make sure to arrange that on your stay for sure! And I also have to mention Rebecca, the house manager. From the beginning she answered every question and helped me organize our stay! It's not easy planning for a large group but she did a fabulous job guiding me! She is a gem and it was so nice to meet her and her sweet new baby in person! It truly was a trip of a lifetime and I will never forget it!

2nd time is the charm!
I first went to Villa del Mar in December 2014 where I had my 40th birthday and invited 13 friends to come and celebrate for a week all on me. It was a wonderful and memorable experience! For the past 4.5 years, we've talked about the villa, the beach, the memories, Omar, Jose, and Omar's delicious food! The grilled lobster, paella, and the pig roast are THE BEST! This April we went back for another 40th birthday with a group of 18 people! Fortunately, we had my prior experience to work from to make it an even better experience! Omar and Jose are still there, and they made our experience even more amazing! They're just wonderful people and they host and cook with love. The beach was even more beautiful in April than it was in December 2014. The villa is just as fabulous as it was last time. The housekeepers, Teresa and Jane, do an amazing job! The only thing we missed this time was the hammock and the paddleboat. The wood decking could use some love and maintenance. And the jacuzzi was inconsistent and not always hot. The TV and audio system could use some updating. But other than those few things, it's a truly wonderful and special place. We really enjoyed the catamaran cruise they have accessible! I'd be great if the catamaran crew could provide the alcohol and snacks on the cruise so we didn't have to bother with bringing all that ourselves. This time, 7 out of the 18 people were on the prior trip in 2014. We talked about how we might need to make this an annual thing every 5 years. We love Villa del Mar and the staff! Thank you again!

The Crown Jewel!
We celebrated my 50th birthday at Villa Del Mar and brought 15 of our close friends with us (17 adults total). It is located on a practically seclude beach and it is by far the largest beachfront in the area. The house is everything in the pictures as promised and more, but the true beauty of the house is the people. Our host, Rebecca, answered every tiny question my wife and I had. My wife will admit that she can be meticulous as it is the nature of her work, but Rebecca kept up and every demanding wish was fulfilled and upgraded. We asked for a restaurant and she brought us an incredible chef’s table experience that will never forget by Chef Alfredo Rueda. We asked for dancers and she got us dancers who taught us how to dance Merengue and Bachata. We asked for a cigar roller, and got an in-depth explanation on cigar rolling from a talented local cigar roller. The staff in the house is top notch, the cleaning ladies were extremely thorough and kind. The driver, Miguel, took a few guests to El Limon which was more work than they expected and he helped them up and down the crazy hike. Jose was loved by all our guests and served as our invaluable go-to-guy while making us delicious fresh fruit drinks that we could not get enough of. If we could have, we would have taken Omar home with us. We asked him only to make us traditional Dominican food for our entire trip. In the end, he had converted all 15 of our guests to Dominican food lovers - something that could not have imagined. The one watch out for next time that we noted was the mosquitos. Be sure to buy a bunch of bug spray when you get there. All in all, this was truly this was a trip of a life time, we are so thankful for this experience and for Rebecca and her team who really were the jewels in the crown of this gorgeous home.

Paradise!
I'm the kind of guest who searches out THE BEST...and this Villa fulfilled all our dreams! My boyfriend turned 40 so we brought 14 adults and 2 littles (1 and 3-year-olds) to celebrate. Martine answered EVERY question with a quick response and friendly manner. We spent days fishing, lounging, and just embracing the beauty of the place. Omar, Thomas, and Jose spent time planning our menus for each day. Jose was invaluable, speaking English and translating our needs every day. We even took him on the Catamaran with us for the day. THAT is a must! Seeing the DR from a boat and lounging on private beaches was AHHHHHHMAZING! Miguel helped us get around when needed. Bruni, Mare, and Yenni cleaned the place and did our laundry so we felt spoiled BUT never overwhelmed us with their presence. They were incredibly polite. Overall, we loved every minute and would go back in a heartbeat Do NOTE that it is an open air home so bug spray may be necessary. I was untouched when it came to mosquitos, but some of the others struggled with them. We also had a nice gentleman take care of our pool EVERY morning! I didn't catch his name though. The ride from the airport (SDQ) was just over two hours. We contracted a bus and it was very reasonable ($40pp each way). The electricity for the week was just under $400 and we were very thoughtful. Every evening we turned off the lights and only ran the AC when we were sleeping in the rooms. Jose organized the Catamaran and horseback riding for us! FUN! FUN!! FUN!! Can we come back now? HA! Thank you AGAIN Martine & the Las Terrenas family for a trip of a lifetime! x Donagene

A Slice of Paradise. No Joke.
Where to even start?! We were there for my husband's 40th with 20 of his closest friends. It was the vacation of a lifetime, truly. 1. THE HOUSE - the photos don’t even do it justice. It’s so spacious, with so many different areas to relax. Everyone was able to spread out, whether on the beach cabanas (with the most luxurious pillows), the enticing hammock, the ridiculous pool, the multiple seating areas, it goes on and on, but amazingly with everything in line of sight - created the perfect balance of togetherness and separation that made for the perfect trip. The bedrooms are all awesome and so nice that they each had their own bathroom. The beach is literally just steps from the house. And unlike many rental houses I've been to, it's a ridiculously amazing smooth walk in beach! 2. THE OUTINGS & ACTIVITIES - we did the amazing catamaran day where it comes right to our beach! We had 2 masseuses come. We surfed at “Carolina’s Surfing School”. Loved it. Was on a beautiful beach 5 min away with the cutest bar. 4. THE FOOD & DRINKS - Oh man. This was such an awesome aspect of the trip. The bar was restocked daily and whatever fun drinks we wanted, Jose would amazingly appear with them! We did the pizza night and pig roast - highly recommended! And everything such well priced. 5. THE STAFF - the best part. They were amazing. Thomas and Jose went above and beyond at every turn and became great friends! Martine was phenomenal answering any questions I had about the house, in whatever level of minutia, quickly and wonderfully. The maids made it feel like a hotel with a crisp clean bathroom and bedroom and laundry each day. The driver took us wherever we needed. Everybody was just phenomenal - I can't say enough. Jose one time brought a wiffle ball set because he thought we would like that and we had an epic game of wiffleball in the yard surrounded by the pool, palm trees and lapping ocean waves. They truly made the trip what it was. I think my husband would write a novel for this section if he were doing the review. 6. OVERALL - Legit, every person just was in awe. The one thing I made my husband promise was that this wouldn't be our last time. It would be a phenomenal trip for families as much as it was for our adult group. One person said she had never decompressed so quickly on a trip. Another kept saying "is this real?". It is. And it's awesome. I'd give it 100* out of 5 if I could.

Vacation and Wedding
We brought family and friends to Villa Del Mar for a week long stay. We hosted our wedding at the villa as well. We had a wonderful experience. The food was fabulous. Omar, Joel, and Jose were so nice and helpful. Rebecca went above and beyond to help me plan the wedding for 10 months prior to our arrival. She was great at communicating and she answered every question I had and made sure we had everything we needed/wanted for our big day. She also came to check in periodically during our stay. Can’t recommend this place enough!
