We stayed at this property with a group of 14 high school boys on a baseball-service trip to the DR and it was fantastic. After spending time in the middle of San Pedro, hours on a hot field, and after working hard at an orphanage, our boys loved coming home to the space and luxury of the Villa. Nikki operates the listing and was very available when there was an issue, but so were other people like William, the local guy who manages check-in and check-out, and Solomon the groundskeeper. If you can get to know Solomon, make sure to do it! We saw other members of the staff/ownership throughout the week, not in a way that felt overbearing, but rather as a presence that was ready to help us with anything we needed.
The house was large and spacious. When anything wasn't operative (we had an issue one night with ceiling fans downstairs for example) they were on it instantly the next day. You want guidance in starting the fantastic, giant outdoor charcoal grill? Just ask. The house is private and luxurious with no neighbors in visible sight. They have a large speaker by the pool just asking you to play music. Naturally our high school boys loved this. We didn't play any golf, but the course has to be one of the most beautiful courses on the island. I wished I wasn't leading a group of high school boys and had time to golf! We stayed in Metro Country Club last year, and although also nice, the Guavaberry house was in better condition and more private than the one we stayed in over there. We hope that Nikki and her team are still renting this house out next year and willing to accommodate us! Thanks again!
