Spectacular Oceanview Villa Sleeps 16, full staff and wonderful personal chef

Let our spacious luxury Villa Simply Paradise pamper you in paradise. Our 4800 square feet of living space is perched on a gentle hillside overlooking the beautiful mile long Cofresi beach, one of the finest on the Dominican Republic’s north shore. Simply Paradise is only a 10 minute walk from the spectacular Ocean World eco-park.

Villa Simply Paradise is designed for couples, small groups or larger families. Gather with friends and family on the 3 large porches overlooking the ocean and Cofresi beach or enjoy quiet time as a couple on your private balcony enjoying the sights of the ocean or mountains. Enjoy gorgeous sunrises, sunsets and the constant cooling trade winds or escape to the privacy of your air-conditioned bedroom. Simply Paradise has 5 ensuite private bedrooms with private baths. The villa also has the capacity to sleep another 6 guests on mattresses in other rooms. One lucky couple will be able to lulled to sleep by the sound of breakers in our brand new "Ocean Dreams" bedroom on the 3rd floor next to the large 3rd floor porch

Couples can expect an intimate experience with the upper private terrace being just right for romantic dinners and cuddling in the moonlight. Your discrete staff will afford you all the privacy you desire.

Small groups and large families will appreciate the 2 family rooms, porches and pool terrace. Our dining table is routinely set for 10 but can be expanded to 16. The porches can be set up for informal dining and are a favorite place for breakfast or lunch. If your family is like ours and you would like a little privacy from time to time, you will also appreciate the personal space and quiet time afforded by your large bedroom, private bathroom and balcony.

Relax on the porches with a cup of coffee as the sun rises over the ocean waves, catch rays poolside, play and swim at the beach, or participate in one of the many north shore tours and attractions that can be arranged for you by our staff. When you are ready, our housekeeper will serve you her fresh pina coladas and tasty snacks poolside or on the porch, then she will pamper your palates with a dinner that you have chosen from her extensive culinary repertoire. If you decide to eat out, there are a number of excellent restaurants within a short walk or ride from your villa.

For our handicapped guests, Simply Paradise was designed with your special needs in mind. The entire main floor and the pool porch area is wheelchair accessible. Your private bath is designed to allow wheelchair access as well. If you need special assistance, our staff can arrange to have someone available as needed. And, should you need medical care, there is 24 hour affordable quality medical care available.

Simply Paradise shares beautiful Cofresi Beach with two world class resorts and the marine eco-park, Ocean World. The tan coral sand is cool on the feet and soft to the touch. There is ample shade provided by swaying palms and lush sea grapes for those who have had enough sun but still want to enjoy the atmosphere. On one end of the mile long beach are rocks and coral that invite snorkelers when the sea is calm. There are usually ocean breakers for body surfing in some areas but the crescent beach will always have areas just right for swimming and wading.

There are no rip tides, no dangerous under tows and no jelly fish at Cofresi. The only sharks that you will see are in the shark habitat at Ocean World. Quaint Dominican souvenir kiosks are set along the beach area but you will not be hassled by hawkers on the beach itself, that is not allowed. Beach chairs and water toys are available at stands on the beach.

For exciting night life, the casinos and Caribbean discos in Puerto Plata provide an electric atmosphere. Hit the clubs to dance the night away to the beat of salsa and the merengue, or try your luck at one of the casinos. Our favorite night life, however, is to sit on the balcony and enjoy the millions of stars visible above the rollers on the ocean.

For our golfing friends, some of the Caribbean’s best courses are in the Dominican Republic. A fifteen minute drive will put you on the beautiful courses at Playa Dorado, and a hour long drive through the beautiful Dominican countryside will put you on the Robert Trent Jones course at Playa Grande. There will be no fighting for tee times, our staff will make all the arrangements for you.

Snorkelers and divers will find plenty in the DR to entertain them. When the wind is right, the snorkeling at Cofresi or neighboring Costambar beech offer beautiful coral, rocks and tropical fish. There are also many other snorkel areas a short drive or short boat trip away. North shore diving trips to reefs and wrecks can also be arranged by our staff.

Although the Dominican Republic is not yet known as a shoppers’ paradise, you will find lots to take home. Locally produced rums and famous cigars are favorites as are the bright Caribbean paintings. The Dominican Republic is the only place in the world that the gem stone larimar is found and one of the few places in the world that mines amber. These jewels are readily available as are others from jewelers in Puerto Plata at excellent prices.

The casual Dominican life-style fits perfectly with a relaxed vacation. But for those who insist on bringing work with them, the villa has excellent WiFi access.

Your cook and housekeeper is a native of Puerto Plata. She is a superb cook and will also clean daily. For larger groups, an assistant housekeeper will be provided at no extra charge. Cable TV, VCR/DVD, Bluetooth sound system, full kitchen with utensils, and all linens are provided. We also have a collection of DVDs and paperbacks for your use while at Simply Paradise.

(Smoking outside only, please)
