A Great Place To Stay!
Review Submitted: September 27, 2008
Date of Stay: September 2008
We spent 4 days in Villa de la Familia. Our stay was flawless and we were very well taken care of. Gabino, Luis, Isabella and Fabiola (Isabella's assistant) were wonderful, informative, and very accomodating. The house was spacious, the beds were comfortable, sleeping quarters were air conditioned and all of the food that we purchased was prepared specially or seasoned to our specifications by Isabella. We were awakend each morning by the aroma of fresh coffee and a prepared meal. The fruit salad and the Mango smoothies are a must.
Luis made sure that the pool was kept clean and filled, the grounds were well kept and the property was secure. The exterior bar and the covered dining area with the new rocking chairs were perfect for our barbecues and outside entertaining.
There are only a couple of things that could have made the accomodations more comfortable for us but they certainly won't stop us from returning. Air conditioning in the living room, and T.V.'s in each of the rooms. After a day or two of of kickin it with the fella's, all of whom play XBOX except me, it would have been nice to have been able to hide away in my room without the need for outside distractions. Precisely why I'm glad I decided to take that extra day to myself.
VIlla de la Familia is a must stay. It is great for families with or without small children, couples, and groups. You can't beat it's proximity to all of the local attractions. I will be back at least twice a year. Once with the fella's and once with the family should be enough to fill my D.R. void. Thank you again for the wonderful hospitality. It was great.
p.s.
I never give perfect scores, that leaves you with no where to improve and that is highly improbable. But this trip has made it to my top five list of all time. And all of that is due to the level of service and accomodations that were given to us. Couldn't have really asked for more.
Owner's Response: I am delighted that your stay was "flawless" and that you were "well taken care of" during your vacation stay at La Familia. I am so lucky to have such wonderful staff and management.
While I was reading your review ..I can almost smell the aroma of Isabella's morning coffee..... gotta love it! I always tell people that Dominican home cooking is the best and that the "all-inclusive" hotels can't compete with a private villa in the food department.
I hope you and your friends or family return time and time again!
