Alan has done a very good job creating a perfect private villa vacation experience. He is easy to deal with, and take that from someone who isn't always easy to deal with myself. The house is new and beautiful with thoughtful touches to make it appropriate for people of all ages (ramps, gates, crib etc.).
We were 8 adults and 5 kids, and there was plenty of room for all of us to sleep, run around, and unwind.
I was not returning to the Dominican Republic for my love of the cuisine. After a week eating Lina and Francesca's cooking, I may have to amend my low opinion of the cuisine. We ate well, and they were lovely people who truly seemed to care about our experience. No hotel could provide warmer service and tastier food. We are going to miss them.
The villa is laid out on a private road which is a 5-10 minute walk to the beach. It's only an okay swimming beach, but our party stayed there for hours anyway. There is no traffic, but there are other villas right next door to you. Don't expect total seclusion.
We took advantage of the catamaran snorkeling trip and the waterfall safari. They were enjoyed by all, but we probably could have found better prices if we had bargained with other operators. We traded saving a few dollars with Gus coming right to the house and conveniently setting up the trips as well as the massages and beauty treatments.
It was a peaceful, beautiful setting for a large family vacation.
