Do we have to go home ?

This is a marvelous property on a beautiful beach. However, what really made our three week stay special was the people and service we received. From the booking process with Jennifer to the shuttle service of our new friend Miguel, the whole stay was perfect. We had a great cultural experience with our driver Miguel who did not speak English but we taught him some English and he taught us Spanish. The real icing on the service cake was David Meakin, the property manager. A Canadian transplant with perfect English, David told us all we needed to know about restaurants, things to do and helped with translation. The service truly made our vacation. The snorkeling off the beach and giant infinity pool was the best. We have one day left and we don't want to go home. Thank you Jennifer, Miguel and David. You are our new familia!!

I want to say thank you for having all that we expected from the website. We thoroughly enjoyed the rest & relaxation. We had a beautiful view from both balconies. The kitchen worked perfectly. And even with 10 of us, we had ampke space. There was hardly anyone at the resort, so we pretty much had our own security, pool, house and beach front area to ourselves!! We hope to stay with you again sometime soon!! Thank youDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

We loved it. The condo is just as described, very spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. The view of the beach is beautiful and the pool is huge and very nice. We were one of three families staying here (group of 10) and never felt like we were on top of each other. You can easily walk to several nice restaurants. We dealt with Jennifer in renting the condo and she was always very pleasant and easy to work with and quick at responding to any emails/questions. We would definitely recommend this property and hope to come back again in the future.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Our guests are very important to us. If we are not in the office for a phone call after hours, we are very good at responding quickly to our guests and prospective guests via email.

We stayed here from 12/25/2011-1/6/2012. Immaculate villa with breath taking views. The place was spotless. My husband was content to sit on one of the beautiful decks and relax and never go to the beach. He said the decks offered it all. A beautiful view, shade or sun depending on which deck you were on, and comfortable seating. The kids and I hit the beach or swam in the longest pool we've ever seen. Very secure with security on the beach and grounds 24/7. The staff here is exceptional. From the guys that rake the beach to the front office. Rented a car twice for a ride to San Pedro for groceries and site seeing. Also went to Boca Chica. It is very quite here. The restaurant at Marbella is great but the ones out on the street are only ok. We optioned to do our own cooking and eat in. Did order pizza a few times. 3 or 4 little markets offered all you needed to get by. The owner purchased a gas grill but it is against the rules here to use it. No big deal and I'm sure it's for the better due to the fire hazard and the mess it would make against all the white paint! The owners were very prompt at all communications and were able to arrange transportation to and from airport. If you want to party go to an all inclusive. If you want peace and quite, stay here. They also have a great play ground for the little ones.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

The condo is roomy and clean and very secure. The beach views are stunning and the beach itself is perfect. The condo complex is not crowded and is very quiet. The property manager, Miguel, is pleasant and welcoming. He was as helpful as he could be considering the language barrier Neither me or my companion speak Spanish; communication was difficult. This is not a resort location where you check in, book tours, etc., so there is also no transportation from airport unless you schedule ahead of time. We did pre-arrange an airport pick up with the condo owner, but the person that was supposed to pick us up did not arrive. The number provided to us as a contact for our ride was not in service. Most travel sites warn tourists against taking a random taxi in Santo Domingo since there are no standardized fares and the area is known to be high crime around the airport. A JetBlue employee assisted in finding a reliable taxi and negotiating a fare. A ride that was to cost $10 ended up costing $45. I read the other reviews regarding tours/excursions. I am not sure how those folks arranged the tours, but it would be good to find out before going. We wanted to do the horseback riding, spa, and deep sea fishing as seen in the web site photos. The staff person at the desk at the condo building was not aware how to schedule the tours. About day 3, we did find a near-by bar owner who spoke English & helped us arrange one excursion to tour an island. The closest deep sea fishing trips he could find were about 1 1/2 to 2 hour drive from the condo so we didn't end up doing that. I have no idea where the spa services and horseback riding were. If you want to do the excursions, I believe you will need to rent a car. If you decide to rent a car, BE CAREFUL. If you haven't driven there before, it's an experience on it's on. This place is perfect for snorkeling - which is available right there (you will need bring snorkeling gear or find a place to rent it). The restaurants near-by close early in winter, so eat early or get some groceries. Buy some of the fresh fruit from the street vendors, there is a juicer in the condo. Yum! If you do not speak English, you may want to try an all-inclusive resort in the area first. Once you are off this complex, the area is truly 3rd world & requires some savvy & Spanish to get around. It is worth it for the beach.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

This condo is a fabulous place to stay! We stayed for a week at the end of July and had a wonderful time. The condo is well furnished, very comfortable, and great for a family. We had plenty of room for the six of us. It was very helpful to have four showers in the condo. The furnishings are new and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen has all the necessary appliances, etc. They even provide drinking water. The buildings are gated with security at the main gate. There are always two security people at the beach area as well. Very safe, we had absolutely no concerns, including the safety of the car we rented. Elvin, the property assistant, was very helpful and was always available by phone. He speaks excellent English. The condo is very spacious and the views are outstanding. The walk to the beach from the second floor condo is about 30 seconds. The snorkeling fairly good. We went several times just at the condo's beach. There are lots of shells if you snorkel. The sand is clean. They groom the beach each morning. The pool is huge has several areas for children. The cleanliness of the entire resort is impressive. Surprisingly, it was not very crowded. There were always plenty of beach chairs available. We spent time in Santo Domingo (45 min), La Romana (30 min), and San Pedro (5 min.). Juan Dolio is a great place because it is relatively small, close to a San Pedro for shopping for groceries, and only about 20 minutes from the airport. We liked shopping at Jumbo, a nice supermarket in San Pedro. There is also a McDonalds in San Pedro. Elvin can provide details about several restaurants on the same street as the condo. We took a walk each morning on the beach and never made it to the end of the beach. We had a son that lived in the DR (Santo Domingo and the east side of the island) for 2 years and he was fairly confident that we scored big on finding this condo. We would stay again in a heartbeat!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

My family and I just came back from our vacation in Juan Dolio. We stayed at the Marbella condo and we loved it. From the moment you arrive you feel secure and everything is nice and clean. But, nothing prepare you for the amazing views and comfort of the unit. The unit is big, beautiful and clean, clean clean. It is paradise. I really have nothing bad to say. We want to come back soon. I will recommend it to all my friends and family. Rosa and familyRecommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway.

My family just returned from a 4 night stay at Dan's condo, which is in the Marbella complex on the beach in Juan Dolio. Everything was as advertised (huge living area, great views, washer/dryer, etc.) and our stay was very relaxing ( no one wanted to leave). Elvin (Dan's assistant in Juan Dolio) was very helpful in giving us advice on tours, restaurants and transportation. We enjoyed going to the following restaurants: Deli Swiss, La Playa del Pescador and El Concon. You'll need a car or get transportation to Deli Swiss and Pescador (Elvin arranged transporation). We decided not to do any tours as we were enjoying the beach too much. However, there are a number of interesting tours available in the area. We struggled a bit on communication (due to our minimal spanish speaking skills), but this didn't prevent us from doing anything we wanted to do. We actually enjoyed the challenge! If you are looking for an upscale place to stay on a quiet beach vacation, this is it! GRRecommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: The condo is 3,200 square feet with 3 bedrooms and a huge balcony as well as private balcony for the master bedroom. There are several car rental lots available for you within walking distance or ask Elvin to make arrangements for you and he will. He has been a great help in making our guests trip a memorable one.

I stayed at this property with a group of friends and it was amazing! IWe enjoyed being right on the beach and loved the cabanas they had on the beach. It is a great place to get away with your friends or family and relax!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway.
Owner response: With the three bedrooms and 4 beds, 2 sofas as well as 2 roll away beds available, there is plenty of space you and your friends to sleep. The condo is located on the 2nd floor just go down the elevator or stairs and you're right on the beach. Who wouldn't like a draped cabana in the form of a bed for 2 on the beach?

If you are looking for a truly first class condo, look no further! There were six of us on this vacation in Feb. and we spent a wonderful time! The beach and the property are beautifully kept and we felt very safe dufing our stay. The picutes don't do the condo and the view justice. You have to see this for yourself! Dan Saurez is very nice and provided us with lots of details about the area and other valuable information. We even had the pleasure of meeting him personally and found him to be very personable. We will surely go back to this property for sure! Annette/Tom - FloridaRecommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway.
Owner response: The pictures don't do the condo justice. Yes, they are accurate but you must see it for yourself to experience how truly beautiful the view is. We look forward to all of our guests return.

The apartment is in an area of Juan Dolio that lends itself to a family harmony where you find everything a little bit, from bars, casinos, and very good food.I must give merit to the attentions of the owner of the property were trust was attentive to our requests, the service customer were very professional and excellent service.
