République Dominicaine Location Villa Las Terrenas sur la Plage de Coson   (2)

I can't even explain how amazing this house was! The pictures don't do it justice. Gino and the service staff made the experience relaxed and fun so we could enjoy our time together. We will be back!

Exceptional Staff and Villa made our vacation sweet! Short walk down the sand path through the back yard to Coson Beach. LOVELY sandy bottom and soft waves, the water is turquoise and simmery. Walk for an hour down the beach both north and south. Awesome sunsets! 6-bedrooms with king-size beds and en suite baths. One bedroom had adjoining 2 twin beds. (Each with remote controlled air conditioner.) 3 downstairs, 3 upstairs, 3 with ocean view. Surprised by the shower -- strong water pressure and HOT water. Best we've had in 14 visits to the DR. Lovely TV Room with fan, then extra-large great room with couches, dining table for 12 and huge kitchen. BOTH sides open fully to the outside. Veranda includes a LOVELY pool, all one depth -- perfect for swimming or walking laps. 2 options for outdoor dining. We used the large square table under then fans near the 2nd refrigerator (water and beer stored here.) Wrap around built-in couch under fan perfect for chats and games. Surprise exercise room with fan and stationery bike that worked perfectly. Everything was perfectly maintained by Belgica (chef), Milena (housekeeping/assistant chef) and Gino (security, pool and maintenance.) Belgica is a superb chef. She expertly prepared and presented delicious Fish with Coconut Sauce, Sancocho, Marlin, Pastelon (bean and beef), grilled lobster, Mahi Mahi, fried plantains & yucca, tayota, salad with tuna & cheese sticks, paella, habicuelas, lasagna (veggie and beef), BBQ Pork Ribs, smoky eggplant, conch, chicken breasts, chicken soup, grilled chicken, chicken kabobs, **Sushi and Spring Rolls**, Shepard's Pie, Fried Mahi Mahi and Beef Tenderloin, green beach with lime butter sauce, pork ribs, shrimp with garlic cream sauce, and more. Both lunch and dinner were finished with awesome desserts, too. Breakfast featured croissants, fresh fruit, fresh squeezed juice, eggs prepared to order, bacon and prosciutto. Everything was SUPER DELICIOUS. We paid $100 per day for her chef services plus about $15 per person, a little more when we had lobster and other shell fish. All was done with fresh ingredients and a beautiful smile! WOW WOW WOW Milena kept the bedrooms and villa spotless. She did our laundry perfectly. She served our meals with a smile. Gracious, hard-working and intelligent. WOW WOW WOW Gino stayed up all night for security and slept in his own room during the day. He was always available for assisting with luggage and small maintenance tasks. Each morning he cleaned the pool and another man helped keep the water balanced weekly. Lourdes, the masseuse, had hands of an angel. She relieved my sore neck and shoulder (I couldn't turn my head) in one session. After three sessions (each only $40 for more than one hour) I felt like I had a new body. AMAZING. Lourdes is Belgica's sister. DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY. Cecile, the property manager, answered all our questions promptly. She arranged an excursion to Los Haitises that everyone really enjoyed. You will have a GREAT vacation here!
