Best Vacation Ever

Myself and 7 others just spent a week here ending November 6th 09.
All of us loved it, the excellent staff, clean premises, good food, and beautiful views. We drove in with a map provided by the owner.
It was easy to have meals we needed prepared by attentive staff, find great recommended restaurants in the area, and feel well taken care of
by an excellent manager. We even got help finding a place to fix one of our cars in a hurry, and slept like rocks in the air conditioned bedrooms.
Even the pool was a perfect temperature.

My husband and I, along with two other married couples, spent this past week at Villa Playamor. I wanted to personally thank the owner of this villa for allowing us the opportunity to stay here. My husband and I had an amazing trip and it was definitely a vacation of a lifetime for us. All the staff at the villa did a wonderful job at accommodating us and the meals prepared by Nellie and Rosemary were perfect. Everything was well-organized for us, as far as meal planning, excursions, etc so we knew what to expect and could fully appreciate our whole time there. I wouldn't change anything about our vacation in the DR.

What a wonderful country, to which we hope to someday
return!

I had a wonderful time!! The house is beautiful, the rooms have a/c though only needed when sleeping, the views are incredible, and there are many places to get away on your own even with a big crowd. The food was amazing, Caribbean style or whatever we chose, not too heavy and all done without any of our help! The dishes were cleaned and even taken from the table at breakfast and lunch so we were on a real vacation!! Even has lots of safety gates around the steps if you have children, but you can keep them open if you are all adults. I will definitely be back!! Thanks Again!

My extended family just returned from our stay and we loved it. The house is spacious, beautiful, and clean. In response to an earlier review - We saw maybe 2-3 bugs in the house the entire time we were there. Nelly, the housekeeper, keeps the house very clean. I traveled with a 5 year old and an 18 month old. Both loved digging in the sand at the beach and playing in the pool. This house is prepared for young children, there are built in gates at the top of both sets of stairs as well as a gate to the pool area. We used the crib provided by the villa - much nicer than any crib we've used in any American hotel. For relaxation, check out the view from the upper porch. The women enjoyed manicures/pedicures poolside. Many of the adults also relaxed via hour-long massages.Only $30 - what a bargain. Nelly makes delicious Pina Coladas. Also ask for the fried plantain rolls with cheese - don't remember what it is called - they are delicious!

Truely paradise! Our family rotated in and out of the villa over a two week period of time. The staff was very accomodating and helpful. They were easy to get along with and was truely there to insure a great time by all. The villa was clean and well maintained which is hard to do in a tropical country. We visited the Amber/Larimar gallery, scuba diving, pool side all the time, walked on the beach and snorkeling daily in the cove. Room airconditioners made night sleeping wonderful. The days were filled with warm ocean breezes. We would definately go again.

My husband and I accompanied his family to DR, and we stayed at Playamor. Every expectation was exceeded! The villa was itself was spacious, yet comfortable, perfect for large or small groups. I really enjoyed how everything was provided, including towels and linens, which seemed to be brand new! It was a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation, and having a staff at the house made me feel like I was at a resort. We really enjoyed the pool, and all of the entertainment in TRUE walking distance (less than a mile). I couldn't have had a better first trip with my new family!

I have had the pleasure to spend three different vacations at Playamor over the past three years. Two stays were for family reunions and once for a quieter week with a friend. The staff was very warm and friendly. Nellie was our cook and housekeeper all three times. She is an excellent cook and her flan is some of the best on the island. The villa is exceptionally clean and comfortable. Our housestaff bent over backwards to see that all our needs were met. Our social and sports activities were planned by "Guss". All were fun and entertaining, our favorites were the jeep safari, snorkling and scuba, and the Casino at Ocean World. Again all our activities were planned with graciousness and eagerness to please. The family reunon worked wonderful with the adjoining house Simply Paradise. Playamor was exceptionally clean, friendly, and a wonderful choice for a vacation. One last thing , we loved having the night watchman sitting outside all night watching over our villa. We felt very safe. I hope I am lucky enough to continue my yearly vacations to Playamor. In all our travels, I found Playamor one of the very best.

We rented both Villa Playamor and Villa Simply Paradise and both were fantastic! The staff was wonderful, the villas were perfect . . . well maintained, clean and most of all BEAUTIFUL and SPACIOUS. Now I know how the other half lives!!
I hope I can return year after year.
