About this villa rental

Located in Puerto Plata, this charming villa for $250 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. This luxury oceanside villa features a panoramic view, a private pool, and a housekeeper/cook. It has five bedrooms and eight baths; and it comfortably sleeps up to 16 persons. Let our spacious new luxury Villa Playamor pamper you in paradise. Our 6,200 square-foot villa is perched on a gentle hillside overlooking the beautiful mile-long Cofresi beach, one of the finest beaches on the Dominican Republic's north shore. Playamor is only a fifteen-minute walk from the spectacular new Ocean World marine eco-park. Villa Playamor is designed for couples, small groups, or large family reunions. Gather with friends and family on the large terraces overlooking the beach and mountains. Enjoy gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, and the constant cooling trade winds. Or escape to the privacy of your air-conditioned bedroom and private balcony. Playamor can sleep ten adults in private bedrooms with private baths. The villa also has the capacity to sleep another six guests on convertible beds in other rooms. Couples can expect an intimate experience with the upper private terrace being just right for romantic dinners and cuddling in the moonlight. The discrete staff will afford you all the privacy you desire. The private walled pool is perfect for a midnight skinny dip. Small groups and large families will appreciate the two large family rooms, and the porches and terraces. Our dining table normally seats 12; and the porches can be set up for informal dining. But, if your family is like ours -- and you would like a little privacy from time to time, you will also appreciate the personal space and quiet time afforded by your large bedroom, private bathroom and balcony. Relax on the porches; catch rays poolside; play and swim at the beach; or participate in one of the many North Shore tours and attractions that can be arranged for you by our American manager. When you're ready, our bilingual housekeeper will serve you her fresh pina coladas and tasty snacks poolside or on the porch. Then she will pamper your palates with a dinner that you can choose from her extensive culinary repertoire. If you decide to eat out, there are a number of excellent restaurants within a short walk or ride from the villa. Your kids will love the beach and the pool. And when it's time to come in out of the sun, they'll enjoy the ping-pong table, video games, and DVDs that we have provided. For our handicapped guests, Playamor was designed with your special needs in mind. The entire main floor and the pool area are wheelchair accessible. Your private bath is designed to allow wheelchair access as well. If you need special assistance, our staff can arrange to have someone available as needed. And should you need medical care, there is a 24-hour medical clinic only a few hundred yards from the front door and we have an American trained doctor on call for visits to the villa. Playamor shares beautiful Cofresi Beach with two world-class resorts and the new marine eco-park, Ocean World. The coral sand is cool on the feet and soft to the touch. There is ample shade provided by swaying palms and lush sea grapes for those who have had enough sun but still want to enjoy the atmosphere. On one end of the mile-long beach there are rocks and coral that invite snorkelers. There are usually breakers for body surfing in some areas; but the rest is just right for wading. There are no rip tides, no dangerous undertows, and no jelly fish at Cofresi. The only sharks that you'll see are in the shark habitat at Ocean World. Quaint Dominican souvenir kiosks are set along the beach area; but you will not be hassled by hawkers on the beach itself. That is not allowed. Beach chairs and water toys are available at stands up and down the beach. For exciting nightlife, the casinos and Caribbean discos in Puerto Plata provide an electric atmosphere.

Villa Playamor was “as advertised”, a gorgeous, spacious villa, beautifully decorated, fabulous views, comfortable beds, lots of lounge areas for quiet reading, wonderful staff and a fantastic pool. We couldn’t have asked for more of the accommodations. The down side for us was Puerto Plata. There wasn’t much to do within walking distance. The beach was a short walk, fine for swimming and playing in the sand but poor snorkeling. Ocean World, also a short walk, was exhorbitantly expensive and the water slides, a main attraction for us, were closed for maintenance so we didn’t go. Transportation was also very expensive for our family of 10 ($40 for a 10 minute ride to Playa Costambar)), as were the tours, which were kind of disappointing. The best part of our stay was the villa itself, relaxing around the pool and swimming (we read some complaints about the water being unheated and cold but we found it was just right), reading, playing games in the evenings. A great place for R&R, but the area not so great for adventure.

The staff was very friendly and helpful!!! Nelly was a great cook and Gus was very helpful with the tours. Marlena helped kept the house very clean. There are only 2 restaurants near place and one had very slow service and average food - best to just eat Nelly's food. The beach was ok but not very large and lots of individuals trying to sell you stuff. Homeowners were great at responding to questions. There were many beds that were average in comfort level. Beautiful house, pool and views. We loved the Waterfalls (only for fit individuals) and City Tour (request Eddie if possible - He was amazing).. Only caught 2 fish on 4 hours fishing tour for 8 people.

The house is wonderful....each bedroom has a separate bathroom, rooms are spacious, there are many different sitting areas if you need a space to read. Willie kept the pool sparkling clean. The housekeepers kept the house spotless even with 2 younger children. The meals Nellie prepared were fabulous. We felt like kings and queens.

A huge reason I booked this villa was based on the reviews so it’s only fair I leave my own review. This villa was remarkable. The pictures really don’t do it justice (Norm if you need updated photos we took over 700 while we were there happy to send you some 😄). It really is an a utopian oasis. I booked this villa for my bachelorette party and it exceeded my expectations. The house is so big we all fit with plenty of room to spare. The view was breathtaking, the pool was perfect, and the staff was so helpful. Nelly made us two meals while we were there and we all agreed that her chicken with rice and veggies meal was better than any of the ones we had when we ate out. In terms of activities we spent most of the time in the pool or inside playing games. We weren’t restricted by any noise curfews either which helped us swim and sing and dance altogether well into the night. We booked the catamaran for the second day and I highly recommend it. Everyone in our group agreed it was well worth the money for snorkeling, the boat ride, unlimited drinks, and food. Plus they drop you off right by the villa so it’s easy to go right back home and jump in the pool afterwards. I’ll end it here, if you’re hesitant about this booking and might be a nervous and skeptical traveler like I am…book villa playamor. It was one of the best weekends I’ve ever had with my girls and I made memories that I will cherish forever.

Staying at villa Playamor was by far one of our best vacations. The place is exactly how described and pictures are accurate, but being there in person is the only way to enjoy the beauty of the location. Everyone morning we would watch the sunrise from the upper balcony. The greatest feature of this rental is the Villa staff. We fell in love with Miss Nelly’s cooking, she is family now. I highly recommend you read the information binder available at the villa, it has all the info/recommendations you need to fully enjoy your vacation and feel like a local. The owners built great relationships with local tour experts who will help you plan all the adventures and relaxation activities out of the comfort of the Villa living room. Villa Playamor will forever hold a special place in our heart. We hope to visit again.

On arrival we were met by Gabino, Willy and Sandy. While Gabino took us on a tour of the house, Willy and Sandy took our bags up to our room. . The views were stunning as were the sunrises. Nellie, the cook, was amazing and the meals were delicious. Miguelina did a wonderful job taking care of our rooms. Gus arranged for the ladies to have massages by the pool, which were fabulous and we highly recommend them. Our favorite thing were definitely the pool! As mentioned it isn't heated but that didn't stop us from using it every day. One day the pool pump stopped working and Willy and Sandy moved heaven and earth to get it repaired the following day. The one thing I will mention is that we didn't read the house binder until the second day of our stay so we were not aware that we should have provided an evening meal for Jose, the night watchman. Fortunately the other Villa took care of him on those two nights and we made sure that we provided meals for him for the rest of our stay. Don't recall if this was mentioned prior to our arrival but if not, I think it is something that might be worth including in the arrival information. Norm, I apologize in advance if I was told about this arrangement and forgot. Overall we had a wonderful time, the staff were truly amazing and we were sorry to leave!

It is an awesome setting for an awesome vacation. The staff was truly amazing. The younger members of our group enjoyed multiple adventures. Gus helped to change out activities to match conditions. Nellie (cook) and Magalina (assistant) exceeded our every need. Willie and Sandy handled everything we asked. Jose (security) provided a very secure feeling overnight! The ultimate compliment is we are trying to choose dates for our return trip.

The villa was absolutely spotless. Nellie and her assistant did a great job. The villa was spacious with plenty of room for our group of six to spread out. The pool was not heated so none of us wanted to use it. The villa was located within walking distance to the beach, a few restaurants and a mini market. Although walkable, it is not an easy walk. For those with walking troubles, the roads to the beach are not paved and are very steep. But overall a nice stay.
