Reviews of Property: Villa de las Sirenas, 'House of the Mermaids'

Just returned from 9 days at the Villa.

We chose a Villa over a resort for a variety of reasons. That is a decision I am glad we made, and will go to Villas for all vacations here on out. It is the only way to truly experience the country you vist. The combination of relaxation, excitement, culture, scenery, and elegance was unbelievable! The Villa is exacatly as it looks in the photos - perhaps even better. The owners communicated the information to prepare us well, the manager checked in often to make sure everything was good. Teresa, Marie Beth and Narciso were the most wonderful ambassadors to the Dominican Republic that the Villa could find. The home is immaculate, and comfortable no matter how warm it got. We met some people from a nearby resort and complained of being bugged for timeshares. The resort could have been anywhere from Cancun to Florida and you'd never know where you were...so why bother. I would encourage anybody considering it, to stay at a nice Villa (such as Villa de las Sirenas) and experience life the way it was meant. I am certain, you will not regret it, and within the first couple days, while laying by the pool, looking at the mountain and the ocean - you will be planning your next trip down.

We just returned from a great vacation at the Villa. The Villa was more beautiful than I could have imagined. The views were breathtaking. The staff was excellent and made you feel right at home. Teresa keeps the Villa sparkling clean and is a terrific cook. The info packet given to us before our vacation answered just about all the questions you can think of to ask about the villa and the area. The owners are quick to respond to any other questions you may have. Booking the Villa was effortless and pleasant. Excursions were set up right at the house all you had to do was get in the cab and go. We never go to the same place twice but I cant wait to go back. This time I will be bringing my nieces. I highly recommend this Villa to anyone that wants to experience a little piece of heaven and a relaxing vacation.

Me and my husband just got back from the best vacation ever. The Villa was more beautiful than I could have imagined. The views were breathtaking! Very clean, beautiful landscapping, and the staff was great. The moment you walk in you are welcomed and made to feel right at home. Teresa was so sweet and is a fantastic cook. The info packet we received before our vacation answered about all the questions you may have about everything in regards your vacation. Great customer service by the owners,if you had any additional questions they responded very quickly. The pool was awsome. The Ahora restaurant was great and with in walking distance, the people were very friendly and you can eat oceanside. Gus comes to the Villa and sets up any excursions you may like to do, you dont have to do anything but get in the Taxi and go. I have traveled a lot and never go back to the same place twice,but I cant wait to come back,this time with my nieces. Ocean World is a must see. We did do the Fishing Charter but didnt catch anything,but one of the other passengers did catch a huge Mahi Mahi. I highly recommend this property to those who want to experience a little piece of heaven and a relaxing carefree vacation.

Our family (7 adults)recently stayed at the Villa de las Sirenas property and had a wonderful time. Everything was as noted on the website. The food was great, the house spotless and the pool kept sparkling clean every day. It was a few minutes' walk to the lovely Cofresi Beach which is not over-run with tourists. There are also several nice restaurants within walking distance. Brian and Patsi, the owners, provide a document with all the info you need to enjoy your stay with a minimum of fuss. We booked a couple of excursions (white water river rafting was the best!) through Gus, who comes right to the house to arrange tours, massages, manicures, taxis, etc. We really had a terrific time and do hope to return one day. The weather was great and with the wind that blows every day, not nearly as humid as we thought it might be. This is one vacation that we can't stop raving about to friends -- and even strangers.

The house was really nice. It was very clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed swimming in the pool every evening and sitting out on the big veranda and looking at the ocean. I would recommend this Villa to anyone looking for a place to stay. The Dominican people are very friendly but very crazy drivers.

I just wanted to say that your beach house was everything you said it would be AND MORE. I'm ready to go back ANYTIME. I've told several people about it and showed them the pictures we took, so I'm sure they will be giving you a call to book thier own trips soon.

Just a wonderful stay.. The house is beautiful and comfortable...the service fabulous... Thanks again for making adjustments for us, on such short notice... Maid and housekeeping, was more than you could ask for, and the security was helpful in getting us settled in and also any questions we came up w/...Nice and clean, airy, bright.... the pictures only tell half the story of how lovely the place is...Thanks again..We hope to get out there again in the spring

We recently stayed at your wonderful villa with our best friends and had one of the best trips of our lives. The house, pool, and beach were beautiful. Teresa and Cecil were two of the nicest people we could have hoped for. They were there for our every need or wish. We had fun doing the excursions and doing nothing at all at the villa but relaxing. Thanks for letting us experience this wonderful place.
