We had a group of 13 (3 different families). Our experience was truly unforgettable. There was more than enough space to accommodate all of us. The location, the pool, the yard were all perfect. Hiring Chef Ray is a must! Fred/Julie, along with the rest of the house staff, go above and beyond to accommodate you, before and during your stay. We had a true vacation, as we didn’t have to lift a finger. If I could “complain” about one thing (which is out of anyone’s hands), is the small amount of hot water for showering and the bugs- but that’s to be expected in a tropical destination! This is a true gem, and a wonderful value for the money.

As other guests have commented, Villa Los Secretos is across the street from a beautiful, long stretch of beach boasting calm, warm water and close to shore snorkeling. It is walkable to many restaurants, and only a short drive to Las Terrenas. However, while a memorable vacation was had by our entire family, we wish we had been made aware of several things prior to renting. The kitchen lacked the usual condiments, plastic storage containers, aluminum foil, paper napkins, etc. that we have found in other VRBO rentals, either left by previous renters or provided by the host. We mentioned this to Fred, and hopefully he will better stock the kitchen for future guests. Also, while the housekeeper cleaned up after breakfast and lunch, a dishwasher at dinnertime for large families would have been welcomed.

This is without the dream home that anyone would ever want!! It has the perfect amenities, staff, security and location. My wife and ai decded to have a mini vacation, wedding and recpetion all here and it was the best decision ever.

We had a team of 11 (US, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Peru) for a small leadership for a week. What a great location, villa, staff and all.Communication - Exceptional. Easy and responsive. The staff provided suggestions for chefs, bartenders, etc. Constantly checking on us the entire time without being too often.House staff - Once again exceptional. Always responsive and eager to assist. From Renee with the house cleaning to Angel with the grounds they did a great job.Location - Steps from the beach, which is beautiful white sand and plenty of space on the property that is close to town makes this property ideal.Chef/Bartender - Management recommended a chef for us and he and his team were outstanding. Attentive to allergies (and aware of cross contamination) and provided great food and really nice people for the week. Overall - This is a great property with so much to offer. Close to town of Las Terrenas and plenty of restaurants close by. You truly will not be disappointed!
