This is one of the best places we have ever been. the apartmenr ks wonderful

.....we weren't able to stay in this specific rental due to water problems in the condo. Johnny was able to secure another unit which was sufficient for what we needed. On our second day, the owner of the unit, Roger, who has a boat in the marina had just come back from fishing. My husband was out on the deck area and Roger greeted him, asked how things were going and gave us one of the fish he caught. Needless to say, dinner was great. Can't get seafood any fresher than that!! The marina area is beautiful and quiet which we found great. Vacations are important to us and being able to relax and not stress the quietness of the marina was welcoming. We ate at a couple of the restaurants and the food was tasty. We visited the main lobby and the gentleman at the desk was super helpful. The pool area is pretty much empty and we were ok with that. We did a few excursions at Scape Park and had a blast! Highly recommend visiting the Hoyo Azul (Blue Hole). Absolutely beautiful and refreshing. I can't say enough about Dorys. She was super helpful. Our first week in the DR we stayed 3 hrs away from Cap Cana. On our drive back to the Punta Cana area our GPS was not working and when I reached out to her she was very responsive. Dorys met us and took us to the condo. During our stay we had a couple of issues in the condo and she was able to have maintenance come out quickly to help us. We had a great time and will definitely come back!

I introduced a colleague to this part of the DR on a long holiday weekend. For only two people, this large condo is spacious and comfortable. The lovely grounds are well-maintained. We enjoyed the pool and the beach close by. The entire complex was quiet and relaxing. However, the following issues were significant enough that neither of us would choose to stay in this particular unit again. 1) Upon booking through VRBO, there was a minor miscommunication regarding local taxes (18%!), from which we are exempt due to our employment status in the DR. We contacted the owner, who refused to make any adjustment, claiming his hands were tied -- which we have since determined is untrue; an owner can arrange partial or full refunds of payments made through VRBO. Moreover, he almost became irate when this came up (and we were being polite and positive, excited about coming). This was an awkward first encounter, but we decided to continue and absorbed the loss. It did, however, leave an unfortunate taste in our mouth before we even arrived. 2) NO HOT WATER! Throughout, it was tepid at best (it wouldn't even melt butter off a knife my friend tried to rinse in the kitchen; she ended up heating water in the microwave just in order to wash our few dishes). In the unit, the owner has a list of "Condo Rules" which indicate the lack of hot water is to be expected on a Caribbean island. This is a flimsy excuse and simply not true. We both live full-time in the Dominican Republic, travel extensively, and have stayed in all kinds of accommodations. There is hot water everywhere! 3) The listing advertises a fitness center on site, which was a big draw for us. But it does not explain the access hours are quite limited (i.e., 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. only, Sundays and holidays). So much for getting in one's early morning workout before heading out for the day. 4) The WiFi was completely OUT for nearly two of our three-day stay. We called the property manager on Friday afternoon upon arrival, but there didn't appear to be any urgency on her part to fix the issue. We had to wait for a tech twice, and were eventually online by Sunday around noon. This meant no movie watching for a rainy night or even checking email No partial refund or even apology was offered for this lack of service. 5) Loud, banging "house" music from nearby marina *every* night. 6) Lots of mosquitoes and no screens meant lovely large patio was virtually unusable. No screens on sliding doors meant no breezes.

This home is exactly as pictured. I took my husband and parents (1st time in the Dominican Republic) and upon entering this home they were in awe. So much better than staying in an hotel. Beautiful view of the marina, plenty of restaurants and shopping. Area has its own private beach and 2 pools. Wish we could had stayed longer. Take advantage of the in house massage and Chef in house (recommend Chef Manuel). They also provide airport transfers for a nominal fee. Doribel Jimenez is your point of contact for this.
