It was amazing!! Josie and the rest of the staff took great care of us, our meals, the grounds and booking activities. The place is gorgeous and in a great location.

Great Vacation

We had a great stay here! Unfortunately the rest of our trip cancelled so it ended up being just me and my partner, but the house would be great for bigger groups too. The house is beautiful, it's within walking distance to the beach but if you weren't up for swimming in the ocean the pool was also great. All of the meals were amazing. We loved not having to worry about cooking. Definitely worth the stay, we are hoping to come back soon!

Great food, nice people.

Our favorite part of the house was the staff! Jossy, Erica, WIlly, Gus, Gabino...They were all fantastic. The house had plenty of space for all of us and the meal time was our favorite. The beach area was a little further than we expected and was very dirty...so that was a little disappointing- hence the less stars on location and neighborhood.

We had a wonderful stay! The house itself is very comfortable with absolutely beautiful views. Having both a cook and a cleaner made it so easy to truly relax and enjoy our vacation.The beach within walking distance isn’t quite as nice as some of the others in the area, but we loved taking evening walks there or enjoying a sunset drink. For beach days we drove to Costambar, Playa del Pueblito, and Playa Dorada—all worth the short trip. We also played a great round of golf at Playa Dorada and picked up delicious fresh fish in nearby Maimón (look for the pescaderías with proper refrigeration).Be aware that driving through Puerto Plata, especially at rush hour, can be a bit stressful. That said, if your plan is simply to unwind by the pool and soak in the view, this home is perfect. And don’t miss Don Limón, the excellent Cuban restaurant just a short walk away—an unexpected highlight!Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway.

Simply Paradise is the perfect name

Wow. I just spent a week at this beautiful Villa. The place is beautiful, staff is excellent, location is great. Cofresi is the perfect spot for a quiet getaway. You will not want to leave the villa. The upstairs covered porch is so relaxing with an unbelievable view of the water, as well as the mountains. Josie, the housekeeper/cook is reason enough to rent this Villa. She is a beautiful person, although be prepared to put on a few pounds, she is an EXCELLENT cook. Ramon, the night watchman was also a pleasure, he is a very good man. I could go on and on, but I won't. Rent this place, you will be glad you did!

Simply Paradise Indeed!

The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. From the house you walk to the beach, the small grocery store, and restaurants. You are also just minutes from the greatest attractions that Puerto Plata offers. The service is exceptional. Jossi cooks delicious and makes sure you are satisfied. The team that maintains the house and security is spectacular. I have no complaints, the only detail we had to deal with was the water pressure when you flush the toilet, or when many people bathe at the same time, but it's not something that can't be handled. Not only do I recommend this beautiful house, but I want to return. Thank you, Norman.

Big family celebration

Norman was more than accommodating for all our large group needs. He arranged for a roasted pig for my birthday celebration, answered all my many questions promptly and gave me so much helpful information. The villa is an easy walk to the beach. The eastern side near the resorts is a lovely calm beach, and we spent several afternoons there. It was so helpful to have a staff and help arranging excursions. We had a few issues pop up, but they were resolved in a friendly and expeditious manner. They even allowed part of our group to stay when after hours at the airport, our flight got rescheduled to the next morning at 6:00am (our friends were there for a few more days). I would recommend this home.

Wonderful vacation time

Too many problem to get the address with the GPS location provated by the manneger office. We were 2:30 hours looking por the property. The The employees in the house were excellent. Finally we got the property because I could communicate with MR. Norman. Beautiful property but to hot on the first floor, the ventilation it's only by one side of the house. We had to open the front door. Beside that we enjoy the vacation time 😜😜. Thank you so much 🙏😊

Great views, amazing staff, well-maintained property...exceeded our expectations!

Everything about this villa exceeded our expectations. The owner was quick to reply and easy to work with, answering all of our questions before we left for the trip, and then once we arrived at the property...wow! We fell in love with the view, the villa, and the staff. Everyone was warm and welcoming from the beginning of our stay all the way to the end, so much so, we caught ourselves calling it home while we were there. Josey is an incredible cook, with many years of experience. We trusted the menu to her for the week, and we were always amazed at both the variety and the quantity of the food-this large family ate very well every day. The villa is spacious with lots of balconies and community areas, sections around the pool for relaxing and sunbathing, and breathtaking views of both the ocean and the mountains. And if you want to head to the beach, it's a short 5 minute walk! We were so impressed, we will be booking this property again in the future, and we hope to become regulars! PS I highly recommend a massage on the balcony, followed by a manicure by the pool.

Easter beach vacation

Stay at Simply Paradise for 2 night for Easter weekend. We loved this place. The owner responded to all my question in a timely manner. All the fees were layout at front. They provide a lot information before you get to the villa. The villa was very clean. They give you few options for your meals: food shopping for you before you get there, or you can go to the store with them or you can bring your supply and they will prepare for you. I chose to bring my own food supplies as per it was Semana Santa weekend in DR and most places were closed on Good Friday. I gave them our menu they were on point. I asked for the BBQ grill, they had it ready for us. That was so nice. They take all the details into consideration, a list of restaurants, activities etc. The view was breathtaking. Within few minutes walk to the beach. I highly recommend this place. I would love to stay longer. The staff was so helpful and friendly.

The villa was FABULOUS. Josy is an amazing cook. There were 5 of us that stayed for a week. Josy has a great menu to choose from but we opted to be lazy. We told her what we didn't like and asked her to surprise us with whatever she wanted to cook daily. Her key lime pie was the best I ever had. There wasn't a single meal we didn't like. Willy was great too. We had an issue with one of the a/c units and it was immediately fixed. The rooms are spacious and the pool was very nice as well. Norm was very good about sending details upon our arrival. We all arrived at different times, on different flights and the taxis arranged through Gambino were waiting at the airport for each of us when we walked outside. Rus stopped by and offered excursions we could do as well as a GREAT masseuse. The masseuse also provided manicure and pedicures.At no time was Rus pushy. He left the list of things to do and his phone number to call if we were interested. Having Josy, Willy, and Rus was a great convenience. Multiple people in our group took advantage of the massages ( multiple times ) and each person said she did a great job. I had a pedicure and it was fabulous. We all opted to do the ATV tour through Rus. They came and picked us up, we went up and down the mountain, and they brought us back to the villa. It was a great time! 2 of our group opted to go scuba diving arranged through Rus. I would highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone looking at visiting the Dominican Republic.

BOSS BABES 2023

We had a wonderful time. The property is beautiful the pictures doesn’t do it any justice. Our only complaint was for the 5th bedroom the room with the twin bed doesn’t have any a/c, that should be noted. Our guest their pulled for that room was very unhappy bout the a/c situation, but we quickly rectified by letting her sleep downstairs in the room that’s the living room which actually is the coldest room in the house. Our cook Josie was amazing everything that she cooked was delicious. We tried all her specialities and she did not disappoint. Everything from the beginning to the end was just perfect. If we ever come back I would definitely stay here again. Our manager Gabino responded immediately on any problem we had which was only the a/c and our taxi was late picking us up. Once I called within 10 minutes we had our airport transportation. Sandy kept our pool clean and even made a few grocery store runs for us. Gus came over and set up excursions, we even had massages done at the house. This is beautiful place and I give it a 10. Thanks Norman for allowing us to stay at your beautiful villa.

We are thrilled that you had such a good visit in the DR. Josie is a tremendous cook and the rest of the staff usually does a great job. We don't advertise the villa as a 5 bedroom and have the little room with the twin in it for convenience for some of the guests. Most have slept with the windows open and the ceiling fan on and not had problems and as you found, the twin in the TV room is a great place to put and extra guest because it is air-conditioned and near the 1/2 bath on the main floor. We had tried before to see about air-conditioning in that little room but found it was a problem for one reason or another. I will have our manger look into it again. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you when you decide to return. Remember, we also have the other villa next door which lets you bring a larger group next time or even a family reunion! Norm

Overall Good Experience

We stayed for a week with friends and loved it - great location and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We then stayed for an additional couple of nights by ourselves (just our immediate family) after our friends went home, and the first night we were alone someone jumped the fence and stole some of the laundry we had out to dry. I heard it happen and they also tried to get into the house. Thankfully we had the doors locked. This is obviously not something in the owner's control, but it is disappointing when there's supposed to be a night watchman on duty. At the time, the front door locks weren't functioning and they weren't able to fix them for our last night there, so instead of enjoying our last day of vacation, we spent it packing and moving because we felt unsafe in a home that couldn't be locked. The owner did refund us for the night we didn't stay there, but not for the night we were robbed. Being robbed and hearing the same person trying to get into the house at 1am is pretty violating. If we could ensure that the front door locks were fixed we would probably have stayed our second night, and we would likely be willing to stay there again. It truly was a nice house and a lovely experience with the staff, but especially while staying with our young children, safety trumped comfort.
