The Perfect Place
This was our first (but definitely not our last!) stay at Isabel's wonderful villa. There were ten of us. I don't think I can well describe how exquisitely warm and wonderful this villa and our entire villa experience was. It started well before we arrived with Isabel's personal attention to every aspect of our trip and every detail that could enhance it. She filled the house not only with all of the food and extras that we wanted (including gluten free!) but also with tastefully sweet holiday decorations making the villa into our home away. Once arrived we met Danny and Iro, the wonderful people -- now friends -- at the villa who made the trip so extra special and attended to everything we could possibly have wanted. From morning coffee, delicious breakfasts set up beautifully outside to afternoon snacks, pitchers of margaritas and home made juices, Danny and Iro exceeded our and anybody's reasonable expectations of what a staff could provide. Danny organized an entire day trip on a hired boat for us to a private island and swimming hole, came with us to make it perfect, and kept a watchful eye on us as if we were his family. Iro's cooking, with a warm smile, was a delight, and Isabel was always a phone call away to help us with anything we wanted. From golf carts to airport transfers, restaurant choices, groceries, even help with a hotel when our flight home got cancelled, Isabel ensured that this New Years in the DR 2016 was the perfect trip in the perfect place. We will soon be back. At our home in the DR.
