  What an amazing house, grounds, and view. We spent a week there with our teenage children, and grandparents in tow. This is not out first visit to the Domincan Republic, but this time we chose to avoid a hotel or resort for a more authentic and independent experience. It worked, and we plan to do it again. The guest house looks over the pool, and provided proximity but also privacy for my husbands parents. The house is v elegant, but also just as comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, and the bedrooms v comfortable. Mosquito nets are provided, but to be honest the biting bugs seemed much tamer that the ones we deal with in upstate New York. As the children slept in, my husband and I swam at sunrise each day. Magical! The children are surfers, so the waves at Playa Grande were a bit hit. The beach lives up to its 'one of the most beautiful in the world' reputation. But we also loved Caleton. Local beach vendors provide a good lunch and a cold Presidente to wash it down. Domincans are such warm and friendly people that our lack of Spanish was never an issue. Indeed our local 'american' guide provided by Victor and Emmanuelle was fantastic. He was helpful, and insighful on anything we asked. Roadside BBQ chicken is a must, as is the delicious fresh yogurt on the road through Entrada are two of the insights we would like to share. The best part was that while we went on adventures with the children, my in-laws relaxed happily all day at the house enjoying the gorgeous horizon pool, reading books, dozing in the hammock. Having both options made the vacation. Thank you!

  Casa Luna and Cabrera were fantastic. The people, towns, beaches and meals were incredible. We had such a good time. Getting to Casa Luna from Santiago was easy - especially with the directions that Victor gave us. Casa Luna is just as it is described in this listing. It is spacious, comfortable and feels like home. It is beautifully decorated and well stocked. The beds are comfortable. My favorite things are: - the sliding glass doors that fully open to expose the house to the ocean breeze. - the two comfy outdoor lounge chairs that enable you to sit on the porch or in the yard and watch the stars. - the hammocks; I took several late afternoon naps in them. - the games provided; we loved playing several of them. Victor was very helpful in booking our stay and telling us how to access all points of interest. Lastly, you have to visit Playa Grande Beach. I have been all over the world and found it to be the most beautiful I have ever seen.

  We were first surprised to use these rocky path to get up to the house. But once you get there (don't be afraid, the house is merely 5 mins away from the ocean), it is a real paradise: breath-taking 180 degrees view, house full of surprising openings and volumes, the picture of the pool is simply what you get. Great quiet place for those looking for a relaxing time. Golf lovers: 5 minutes to one of the best links I have ever played on. Chicken lovers: there is a small roadside shack just a couple of mins from the house that does something unreal to chickens that makes you want to load a dozen in your suitcase when you go. But don't coz chances are, you'll come back real quick.

  Very nice and peaceful place to stay, my kids enjoyed very much, specially the striking ocean views. We are not used to that in the city where we live. Thanks Victor and Emmanuelle for the great service.
