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.
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.
Ski:
Locally produced rums and famous cigars are favorites, as are the bright Caribbean paintings. The Dominican Republic is the only place in the world wherethe gemstone larimar; is found; and it's one of the few places in the world that mines amber. These jewels are readily available, as are others from jewelers in Puerto Plata.
The casual Dominican lifestyle fits perfectly with a relaxed vacation. But for those who insist on bringing work with them, internet access is available at Playamor; and a complete business center is available a short walk away.
Nellie, our cook and housekeeper, is a native of Puerto Plata. She is a superb cook, and will also clean daily and do your laundry. For larger groups, an assistant housekeeper will be provided at no extra charge. Our villa caretaker, Kendy, is tri-lingual and lives in separate quarters onsite to help you with all phases of your stay.
Golf:
Hit the clubs to dance the night away to the beat of salsa and the meringue; or try your luck at one of the casinos. Our favorite nightlife, however, is to sit on the balcony and enjoy the millions of stars visible above the rollers on the ocean.
For golf enthusiasts, you'll be happy to know that some of the Caribbean's best courses are in the Dominican Republic. A fifteen-minute drive will put you on the beautiful courses at Playa Dorado; and an hour-long drive through the beautiful Dominican countryside will put you on the Robert Trent Jones course at Playa Grande. There will be no fighting for tee times, as our staff can make all the arrangements for you.
Cofresi offers beautiful coral, rocks and tropical fish for great snorkeling. There are many other areas a short drive or short boat trip away. North shore diving trips to reefs and wrecks can also be arranged by our staff.
Although the Dominican Republic is not yet known as a shopper's paradise, you'll find lots to take home.
