Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed at Down Thru every year since 2006. We love the views from the upper deck and the secluded beach front.
Amazing property me and my family really enjoyed ourselves. The beach is literally in the backyard of the complex. Walking distance to local stores restaurants and etc.. The host responded to every request that were made for our daughter birthday with balloons local snacks and a bottle of rum lol . We will defiantly return to visit this property. 10/10
We stayed at this condo for 9 days. Just got back home yesterday. What a wonderful experience! Everything was amazing, from the check in process to where the condo is to how nice the beach was. This was our first time in Dominican Republic. The communication with the condo manager Liz was great. I contacted her with questions even before we booked the condo. She was very responsive and helpful. She arranged transportation to pick us up at the airport. She was at the condo when we arrived to show us around and answer any questions. The condo is located on the beach, in a very nice clean gated complex. The gates have security guards and there are security guards at another gate leading to the beach. We felt very safe. The condo was very well stocked, had beach towels, sunscreen, spices, pots and pans for cooking, toilet paper, water, shampoo and conditioner and more. Every detail was well thought out. It was all so helpful. There are several pools on the property. The beach was being cleaned several times a day so almost no seaweed. There are many restaurants outside the gate as well as a supermarket with some great prices. Everyone we met on the property was very nice and helpful. It was a pleasure to stay at Playa Turquesa and I highly recommend the property and this condo.
We had a WONDERFUL time at Galleon Villas. Lisa was there to meet us when we arrived, and the location and property couldn't have been better. Right on the beach, with plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas. It's next door to the Westin and the Ritz and across from a restaurant / bar so plenty of places to eat / drink when we didn't want to cook for ourselves. Having said that, the kitchen was fully equipped, so we could have stayed in if we wanted.
TLDR; Stay here for the beach front, very nice house, and service that exceeds expectations!
Experience pre-arrival:
We've never been to Exuma so didn't know what to expect. Groceries are a little limited on the island, but Nevelon and Shinida took care of taking our grocery order and having it stocked at the house before we got there. We had a hard time renting a car as well and mentioned this to them, no problem she found us a car and took care of the arrangements!
Arrival:
Nevelon waited for us at the airport with a taxi and brought us to the house, about 30 minutes away. Our rental was waiting there and the house was just as described. The view from is harder to photo it's actually much nicer, and right next to Shoreline Restaurant. They made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, it really felt nice to not have to worry about that piece with all the travel stress you go through because of COVID. There was beer and wine in the fridge as well which was nice.
The house:
The house is very nice, new, and well laid out with plenty of room. The attention to detail they have is evident, the furniture is all comfortable and fits the house nicely. Everything is modern and higher end. We all slept well, and there was a nice self-inflating mattress for the living room so our kids didn't have to share a bed. The view from the deck is amazing, and we carried the deck chairs to the beach everyday to hang out while the kids swam in the water. The water in front of the house is pretty shallow, you can easily wade out 100 feet and the kids loved finding starfish in the water, definitely a highlight for them! Food is very expensive on the island so we appreciated the groceries at the house. We watched the sunrise every morning which you can see from the beach in front of the house. The showers were nice and when there was down time the kids watched TV thanks to the very nice smart TVs in the house. The house has wifi, but internet on Exuma is not very fast anywhere though streaming Netflix worked fine.
Departure:
Nevelon offered to drive us to the airport and drop our rental back at the house. She really gave us first class service the whole time, checking in during our stay to make sure we didn't need anything and helping with information about things to do and where to go when we were unsure.
To sum it up, we loved the house but even more the first class service that came with it!
Host was communicative very helpful and quick response location and property were amazing Just a tip if you book here rent an SUV it will make it easier to access also the location listed does not take you directly to the property you may want to reach out to the host for direct location prior to arrival
This is a Mariott Vacation Club property. I found out that it is a newer-ish property, built aroud 2008. It was clean and tastefully appointed, and they enforce Covid safety measures. All staff that we encountered were friendly and accomodating.
The room was spacious for a family of 4. There were 2 balconies - one off the second bedroom, and a slightly larger one with dual entry points at the main bedroom and living room. I'm pretty sure all the 2-bedroom villas are decorated the same. I wasn't peeping, but it's hard to not notice the same artwork on walls at nightime when other units in other buildings don't have their drapes shut. We wish the kitchen had more variety of prep tools and items like plastic wrap or foil - but we concede that those items are probably not found in a large-scale hotel-managed property, unlike the individually-owned homes that we usually rent.
This unit was a low floor with views of the pool, beach, and the roof and AC units of the fitness center/eatery/pool.
The beach is rocky on both ends to ensure privacy and has a pier that docks the VI Cat, which takes you out for snorkeling or for dinner. There is a hut on the pool deck to book those events, or nightime kayaking.
The pool has a slide that shockingly did not bore my kids even after going down it a hundred times.
This is definetly not a party resort. There is not a bar. There is counter-service to order food and drinks. Not sure if it was due to Covid, but there is not a waiter making the rounds for drink orders on the pool deck or beach. I was dissapointed about was the restaurant. The food was not bad, but the ambiance was non-existent. It's just patio tables next to the pool deck and store entrance. It's fine and convenient for lunch. Go to the counter to place your order.
But for dinner, there is no music, and the tables are not set. The tables are just scattered about, and I just like a more pronounced restaurant feel. There is a waiter serving the tables at dinner time, though.
In-town boutiques come and set up their goods near the pool deck. There is music on the pool deck, and bingo, yoga, and pool aerobics.
