  If there was no heaven and I had a choice of place to make mine . . . this would be the PLACE! The sunrise from the Master Bedroom and balcony was stunning. The lawn, shrubs and coconut trees were neatly manicured to perfection; I took many beautiful pictures of the beach and Playa Turquesa. The condo was perfectly located near everywhere we needed and wanted to go, a 15 min car ride. The associates working there were very helpful, especially the beautiful young lady at the receptionist desk . . . WOW! And when we saw Ellen, WOW! The Condo was well equiped with dinning wares, everything necessary to prepare a meal for ten, and believe me we put them to the test. There’s separate climate controls for each room of the condo to assure each indivual the perfect climate; although we ran the AC most of the time we were inside, we still received about $80 back from the electricty deposit. We did not have any of the issues that “Andrea P from Atlanta” experienced. In my party there were three of us, all guys and we had plenty of towels and toilet paper. Well, women do use lots and lots of toilet paper. Hehehe. We didn’t have bottle water issues, there was too much rum and el presidente’s to drink, LOL! Plus water is sold by the gallons a-stones-throw away, and I can’t name one MOTEL in America that gives FREE bottled water. We did not have wireless service, but the lovely receptionist welcomed us to the office to share her WIFI . . . it was worth the walk, but hopefully that will be corrected by our next visit. We felt completely safe on the grounds of Playa Turquesa, Bavaro Punta Cana and Higuey . . . there is security EVERYWHERE! We had no problems with the locals, everybody was friendly as long as you are too. And guys . . . you must visit Mangu/club, The Car Wash/bar (across the street from Texco gas station) and Cools/club about 3am . . . WONDERFUL time. Ellen, we will see you next year (M202).

  Owner response: Thank you so much for the great review, happy to see that you guys have had such a great time and I am looking forward to seeing you all again very soon! Warm regards, Ellen

  The condo was nice. The bedrooms are a good size and it's great having three bathrooms. My shower wasn't as clean as I would have liked and the bathroom mat was soaking wet upon arrival. It seemed that the unit could have been a bit cleaner and better prepared for us. The amenties listed filtered water but they don't provide water which was a bit surprising. The balcony was beautiful and the view was beautiful. They have everything you need in regards to kitchen items. The unit is very close to everything...good restaurants, the beach and groceries. Make sure to convert you money...they take US dollars but havining pesos makes buying everything easier. We had a great time.

  Owner response: Hello Martha, thank you for your review. I wish you would have informed me that the bathroom was not clean enough and I would have sent in the cleaning lady again. Hope to see you and your friends again next time!

  let me first say that our condo was beautiful! it was the perfect size for 5 people and close to the beach. Now that I have said that, I will tell you what I think needs a bit of improvement...the amenities listed on this site stated that filtered water and bottled water would be included. that is NOT the case. there is a filter attached to the refrigerator, but we were told once we arrived that we had to buy our own water! you can't drink the tap water at all, so having to go out of your way just to have water for food, cooking, drinking, ice cubes, etc, was definitely a hassle. Also, toilet paper was not provided. Lastly, we were told that beach towels would be provided, but there were only 3 in the condo (not enough to accommodate the stated 8 people this condo can house. We were told the towels were stolen 3 weeks prior to our stay, but I still wonder why they had not been replaced by the time we got there. Also, word to the wise, staying in condo is great, IF you are prepared. If you plan to stay in a condo, be prepared to buy your own groceries, do your research for restaurants, places to go, etc. because we found out (dissappointingly) that all of the surrounding resorts are like these guarded fortrices that you CANNOT get onto without being a guest! even if you want to pay to go to one of their restaurants, they WILL NOT LET YOU ON THEIR PROPERTY! I felt somewhat like a second-class citizen at the condo because no where else will they let you go without a hotel "day pass" which could cost you $90! Just a word to the wise. But if you stay here, make sure to try the Thai restaurant Balicana, and In & out. The club Mangu was also fun! Beware they most places and things you do will nickel & dime you to death, so just be aware of that. Overall, I still had a great vacation, but the filtered water thing really irked me a bit, since it is written plain as day on this website....water is fundamental people! Thanks!

  Owner response: Hello Andrea, thank you for your review. Maybe your expectations were too high for certain things as you were expecting to get the same service in a rental apartment as in an All Inclusive hotel. You were staying at a high end 3 bedroom condo overlooking the ocean for around $50/person/night compared to paying at least $200 per night for staying in an average All Inclusive Hotel room with no view and sharing the pool with hundreds of people and screaming kids. We always leave 1 roll of toilet paper and a bar of soap in each bathroom and a bottle of water in each apartment. All the other items and groceries have to be purchased. I went out of my way to bring you again 3 rolls of toiletpaper and a 1 gallon of water the day after you had checked in while you had already received these items the day of arrival. When you rent an apartment you can't expect that we take care of your groceries as well. By the way, you can't drink the tap water but you can cook with it without a problem. Regarding the beach towels, I agree with you, we should have bought new ones AGAIN as the ones we had bought a few weeks prior to your arrival got stolen but they are actually not easy to find here and will have to be purchased in the capital, 7 hour drive back and forth from Bavaro so we did not have the time yet to do that. I don't understand why you wanted to have dinner at an All Inclusive Hotel as there are about 12 very good restaurants at walking distance from the condo and they are all indicated on the map that I gave you and I have indicated several of them again to you and they are all reasonably priced as well. Balicana and Outside in are indeed very nice restaurants. Anyway, I hope that you are keeping a good memory of this vacation and that you and your friends had a good time and hopefully we will see you back in the near future, I am keeping the H2O ready and cool for you! :)
