We loved our stay at this property. The property is clean and secure. We enjoyed the pool and close proximity to the beach(6min walk). The communication with the property manager was easy and Ingrid is super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was complimentary but you only pay for the groceries. The chef is also available to cook lunch and dinner for a fee plus the cost of groceries. The location is one of my favorites in all of DR. I recommend to anyone that wants to get away and relax by the beach. We will definitely be staying at this property again in the future.

Family vacation

Family of 6 first time in DR. Check in was a little rough with miss communication and some issues at first but once in the villa the place was amazing. Everything was VERY clean and the staff was very nice and helpful. Chef Danny did a great job with breakfast and our concierge was very good at responding to our questions. The beaches were beautiful and very few people- almost like you had it to yourself. Felt very safe the entire stay. Had we had a better check in without the missed communication we would have rated this higher. Not sure where the miss communication occurred- may have been VRBO vs BRB but we felt like we missed out on vital information and traveling from out of the country, this did cause some stress.

Thanksgiving Week at Villa Ribera Mar

This nice and clean property awaited our small family of three for Thanksgiving week in the Dominican Republic. Even though our Spanish speaking skills are terrible, we had no problem communicating with the residence personnel. All of them are very helpful. We enjoyed the spacious and tastefully decorated interior, the view and easy access to the beach. The beachfront road between Las Terrenas and the villa has many restaurants and bars. During our stay we explored the surroundings a bit including a hike to Salto El Limón and scuba diving. All in all it was a great way of spending Thanksgiving under the sun.

Wonderful relaxing stay

We had a wonderful week at Las Terrenas. The beach is incredibly beautiful and only a 2 min walk from apartment past the big pool. We loved the serenity of the place, no big hotels, a few beach shacks to get good lunch, otherwise a lot of nature and not a lot of tourists. Everyone was friendly, helpful and attentive. Dany the chef made us breakfast every day and dinner twice - highly recommend him. The only thing to note is that there is no supermarket close by but they help you stack the fridge or there is a delivery app that serves the apartment as well. All very easy and quick. Very happy with our choice and just how naturally beautiful this place is. We had a great trip and so did our three kids (ages 3-10). Waves were perfect for them and not too strong. Highly recommend this place

Amazing place

We stayed in the duplex (3bed/3bath.) It was just as described in the listing - even better, in fact. Everything was well-maintained, everything worked, there were ample towels, dishes, etc. and the beds were comfortable. The staff - particularly Stephany and Franco - were unfailingly nice and always helpful. Stephany arranged everything for us while we were at the villa; Emma Ori before and after. All the arrangements were seamless and all their recommendations were spot-on. Cleaning came in every day and did a good job. The villa was just a short - and pretty - path to the beach, with a pool even closer. We never bothered with the pool, however, because the beach the villa was located on is so lovely we never passed up an opportunity to enjoy it. This was an excellent property, and one we plan to return to again (and again.)

Perfect property!

We visited Las Terrenas during a couples trip to Dominican Republic and couldn't have selected a better place to stay. The villa is very neat and clean and the staff takes very good care of guests. Everything we requested was in place when we arrived. Chef Danny is absolutely awesome! We thoroughly enjoyed each meal prepared. The beach is a very short walk as well as a few restaurants. There are more restaurants, clubs and stores a bit further down the road, if you don't want to walk there are cars, golf carts and ATVs available for rent. The staff takes the hassle out of just about everything! Although our children did not join us for this trip, this property is well suited for families. The area is very safe and the people very friendly. We are already planning a return to Dominican Republic, this time with children and Ribera Mar is first on our list for a place to stay!! Thanks so much!!
