Unlike most rentals, we do not charge additional fees for cleaning, service, etc.

FAQS

HOW FAR IS THE VILLA FROM THE AIRPORT?

The villa is a 30-minute drive from Puerto Plata airport; transport can be arranged to pick you up with cash paid directly to the driver (as local law will not allow us to transport guests).

SHOULD I RENT A CAR?

We recommend a car rental, as although the villa is within walking distance of the beach, it can get very hot. A rental car is also an excellent idea for exploring the area, as many activities and sites keep you busy during your stay.

HOW FAR IS THE BEACH?

Cofresi Beach is just under ten minutes' walk. It is down a road with a slight slope, so if small children are in your group, we recommend driving, especially when it is sunny and hot! Sun loungers are available to rent on the beach for approximately 100/150 pesos per lounger (equivalent to around $2).

The beach has some great little restaurants and is very peaceful. It is a perfect spot for a morning coffee, afternoon beer, or a relaxing evening meal.

IS FOOD INCLUDED IN THE RENTAL?

Our villa rental does not include food. Several supermarkets are situated in the centre of Puerto Plata and offer a great selection.

We now offer a free transport service to the supermarkets for those arriving during the day. This allows for a stress-free experience so guests can focus on choosing a perfect menu.

We offer a traditional Dominican meal upon arrival for a fee of USD 10 per person.

DO I NEED TO DO ALL OF THE COOKING?

A cook is provided with the booking and is available from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. It is customary to prepare the main meal for lunchtime; if you would like to eat a hot meal in the evening, the cook can prepare it for you. Our sample menu features a mixture of American, English, and Dominican cuisine. Vegetarian requirements can also be catered for.

IS THE VILLA FULLY STAFFED?

James Bond Villa has excellent staff who will do their best to ensure you have a relaxing and stress-free vacation. Auris is our friendly, English-speaking villa manager. She has a lovely, hardworking local staff to assist her during your stay. Carlos is our friendly on-site handyman. You will see him outside most days, working hard to ensure the villa is perfect.

Our staff are very professional and discreet. Your rooms will be cleaned daily, and linens will be changed weekly. Please note that we are happy to wash clothes and personal items only for guests staying one week or more.

Bathrooms are supplied with towels, washcloths, soaps, toilet paper, and a hair dryer if needed.

DO YOU HAVE WIFI?

We now have WiFi throughout the villa.

We also have a Bluetooth speaker in the main living area. Please use it whether you want to boogie in the living room or relax by the pool.

ARE THE BEDROOMS EN-SUITE?

All the bedrooms have ceiling fans, air-conditioning and en-suite bathrooms.

IS THERE ANY SECURITY?

Our night watchman, Santiago, arrives every evening and guards the premises. We also have security cameras at the front of the villa for extra safety. There is a safe in the main bedroom on the ground floor if you need to lock up any valuables. We ask that you lock all windows and doors while away from the villa and at night, as you would in your own home.

ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED?

Children are always welcome! The villa has an indoor and outdoor staircase leading to the pool area and gym, so please bear this in mind when booking with small children. If you need a cot or crib, please message us in advance.

WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?

Unfortunately, we cannot control the weather! James Bond Villa has a cinema room and hot tub, unlike the other villas in Puerto Plata. The cinema has a variety of films, and it is the perfect time to try out the popcorn machine!

We have a massage table used by our amazingly talented masseuse, Raquel. She also does fantastic manicures and pedicures. Auris can show you her treatment/price list and book a time for her to visit the villa that is convenient for you.

CAN I BRING BACK A GUEST/VISITOR?

We have a strict visitor policy. Only those whose names are on the booking are allowed on the premises. This is for the safety of our guests and staff. Our night watchman, Santiago, will ensure unauthorised guests cannot access the villa.

CAN WE USE THE VILLA FOR AN EVENT/PHOTOSHOOT/FILMING LOCATION?

James Bond Villa can be used for photoshoots, filming and special events. Please message us for a quote with details of your brief.

DO I NEED TO LEAVE A TIP?

As in Canada and the USA, leaving a 10% tip (of the booking total) at the end of your stay is customary. The amount you tip is discretionary, and for excellent service, but please remember the staff work hard to ensure you have a perfect holiday :)

GUEST ACCESS

Guests can access the entire villa except the staff room through the kitchen, which is solely for staff use.

Day trips to the safari, waterfalls, and islands are available. Please ask Auris, who can show you the excursion guide and book the trip.

Rooms were spacious and clean. The pool overlooking the beach and city of Puerto Plata is spectacular. Given it was still a little cooler the hot tub was the favorite spot for everyone. What makes the place special though is the hard working staff. It was fun to utilize some of our old high school Spanish to communicate with them, so bring a translate app just in case. They prepared wonderful meals for us and kept the place very clean. The handyman on staff was diligent in keeping the pool clean and working on other minor issues throughout the week.I would highly recommend staying here if for your trip to the Puerto Plata area.

What a great time!

Santa and the team will take care of you from start to end. The house is a little older but has lots of character. The pool is amazing. The food prepared for us was fantastic. If we had any questions or needs the team was there to help us. We enjoyed touring the island but we really felt at home with Santa and the team. Thank you all for a wonderful vacation and great memories.

Fantastic Property and Experience

Our entire group thought this property exceeded the high expectations we had already set for it. The staff led by Santa was absolutely fantastic - they accommodated our every wish. Dioma and kitchen staff were amazing. They prepared wonderful breakfasts and dinners daily to meet the desires and needs of our large diverse group. The home itself is immaculately maintained and cleaned. The views and vistas speak for themselves. Glen the owner was very responsive and easy to deal with. We would recommend this property to any of our friends and gladly return again ourselves.

Great stay

The villa was a great stay and it's exactly as pictured! The staff was amazing and it was very comfortable size for our group of 12 (10 adults, 2 kids). Some details: Pros: (1) wifi only worked on the main floor but was strong enough for video work calls for those working, and there was plenty of space to work. (2) rooms are spacious and A/C was strong in the rooms (3) gorgeous pool and hot tub when working (4) staff was amazing and cleaned / cooked every day (5) good shower pressure (6) having a driver for groceries, golfing, excursions etc. was amazing Cons: (1) a bit outdated (e.g. mesh doors to keep mosquitos out were a bit broken, jacuzzi broke for almost half the stay which made it too cold to use, fixtures are a bit dated, etc.) (2) beds were firm

The trip of a lifetime

Number one the staff was incredibly helpful the cook and they did an amazing job with the food. They kept their place spotless! I have no words for the view from the pool and the hot tub. The pictures we posted to FB do no justice to the true beauty and grandeur of the house. I will just say this... I will not soon forget this vacation and it is in the record books of my memory as a world class event. Epic!!

Already planning to go back!!!

Booked with another four person family and it was AMAZING! The home is gorgeous, views are stunning and the staff were so caring and wonderful. Our children loved the pool, the lazy river, and the "little pool" or jacuzzi when it wasn't hot. The evening breeze made the balcony irresistible at night. We slept so soundly and peacefully. Each morning, waking up in a king bed room, we looked out on the beauty of the country. We loved exploring local beaches, grocery stores and restaurants. Horse back riding with Maimon Bay Ranch was breath-taking and enjoyable for all ages. You do not have to speak Spanish to enjoy your time here, but it really helps! You can pay for things in USD but I recommend pesos so you do not lose money on the conversion rates with vendors. I cannot say enough about the staff. Our meals were delicious and the chef made sure to meet all of our needs - kids and adults. Please stay here. You'll want to come again and again.

An Unforgettable Experience Amidst Spectacular View

Our stay was nothing short of magical. The picturesque moonrises viewed from the comfort of the jacuzzi and rooftop terrace were simply mesmerizing; pictures don't do justice to such breathtaking moments. Bioma, the epitome of warmth and talent, delighted us with her exceptional culinary skills, preparing delectable breakfasts and dinners. Her thoughtfulness extended to ensuring my morning coffee was ready, adding a perfect touch to each day. The staff, including Santa and Carlos, contributed to our unforgettable experience. Their kindness and attentiveness truly made us feel at home away from home. This villa was an oasis of relaxation and beauty, where every sunrise felt like a masterpiece. We departed with hearts full of gratitude, relishing the memories of this extraordinary break. Our sincerest thanks to Bioma, Santa, Carlos, and the entire team for creating an experience that surpassed all expectations. We're already yearning for our next visit!"

WANTED TO MOVE IN!!!

This morning when we left, I was crying on the balcony and my husband had to pry me away from the property! I have been worldwide traveler for over 20 years and this, by far was a place where I wanted to live there, full-time! The staff was absolutely phenomenal! Santa made me feel right at home! And Santiago made our family, feel very safe by being our nightly guard! Several beautiful women washed several loads of laundry for us, so we could go out as a family and snorkel and deep-sea fish! We will absolutely be coming back here! They have a phenomenal view in the mountains at the very top of the peak looking at the beautiful city below with a hot tub and huge infinity pool! Many times pictures look better than the real deal… In this case, the real deal looked 10 times better than the pictures which were already stunning! When you look at other properties to stay at in the same area with all of the extra fees per person per day… This was a no-brainer to stay at this huge mansion in the hills! Thank you James Bond Villa staff for making our vacation vacation one we will remember for a lifetime!

Beautiful View

Me and three of my best friends recently stayed at the Bentley Villa, D,R.The place was spectacular. It sits on a hill overlooking the ocean.It came with a cook, a house-maid, a grounds keeper, and a security guard,There were just three small problems. Number one, the property is very private and secluded, so it can be hard get to into town for shoppingand for the night-life. There house had low water pressure which made it difficult for us to get adequate showers. Lastly, driver prices seemed very high; it seemed like they made the prices up as they went.No exercise equipment as listed. Only 1 working billiards stick no tips on the others when in boxes the owner no response to the issue. No central air only a window unit in bedroom. House is older but the view was amazing.I like to take morning walks but couldn’t do that because of loose dogs down the hill. 50.00 minimum each time driver picked us up. I like to walk in the mornings for exercise but could not because of the loose barking dogs on the hill. Security guard at night not sure if maybe the neighborhood was not safe. It was not mentioned in bio but glad he was there.

Amazing property with wonderful staff and fabulous views

The house is better than the pictures. It is spacious inside and out and easily accommodated our group of 16. The pool, the hot tub and the views are one of a kind. We spent a lot of time on the upstairs porch and relaxing in the hot tub in the evening....just wonderful. The hot tub is drained everyday and takes a little time to heat up, so plan accordingly. Everyone on the staff was so friendly and accommodating. The staff went grocery shopping and prepared 2 meals a day for us. The meals were fabulous. Plan on eating out on the first day of check in. Everyone had a smile on their face and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. They also helped arrange our tours and did a great job of keeping the house very clean. Overall the house was in great shape but there were a few little things that could be addressed. The screens on the sliding glass doors had rips in them. There weren't many bugs but it only takes a few to be annoying. We were a big group and were in the water a lot which created a challenge of having enough dry towels. Small things in the grand scheme of things.

Absolutely amazing!

Let me start off by saying, if I could give this place more than 5 stars on everything...I would! From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The way the staff took care of us, meals that were prepared, coffee made so we could watch the sunrises with it in our hand. Kept the villa clean throughout our whole stay. All the extra touches they put into it day in and day out. This staff is what truly made this home...made it like it was our home. The location was beautiful, our views was like no other, the home was amazing, the pool and hot tub was clean and perfect. I will never book another home in Puerta Plata besides this one. Now let me talk about Santa....she is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. From helping me plan the meals, arranging taxis for us, helping me get the groceries that were needed for specific meals, making sure I had contact info for her in case i needed anything when she wasnt there. I wanted to bring her home with me. She is the best and what made this stay like a dream for us. The security made us feel safe and secure and was very much appreciated. I was a party of 14, all couples. We came for our yearly "baecation" and they made our experience in the DR unforgettable. Thank you Santa and the whole staff for making this home, our home while we were there.

Awesome saucesome

This vacation was much more than any of us expected. We woke every morning with smile and just pure relaxation on our faces. It's was 8 of us total who travelled to the villa on 2 different day. The welcome from Santa and her crew was just down right friendly and caring for both groups. The hospitality was great everything we needed was in our reach (Thanks to Santa). Breakfast was ready every morning and when we returned from our day of adventures dinner was waiting for us to just enjoy. Everyone who entered the home was in awe of it's beauty. The art work became a conversation piece on several occasions. On piece in particular drew us all in, the wood status in the living room with the stages of women. I meant to ask the name of that piece. The accommodations for our group was perfect in everyway. We most enjoyed the hot tub every evening and just sitting on the balcony with the stars in the clear sky. I enjoyed the opportunity to sunbath in private on the 4th floor terrace awww. Wonderful place to spend my 55th birthday. In all it was 4 of who had birthdays during this period. Again Santa made mine extra special and presented me with a cake in the morning of my special day. This is definitely a do over. See you next time Bentley Villa and Santa and the crew.

Bond House of Puerto Plata

We absolutely loved this house, the property and the fantastic staff. The house itself overlooks the Cofresi Bay and the town of Puerto Plata, so makes for a beautiful spot to catch the sunrise and gorgeous look at the city in the evening. We loved how spacious the house was. Every room has it own bathroom which really helps when you have a big group/ family traveling with you, that extra space and privacy is a definite bonus. Santa was a great host, very accommodating and helped us schedule our fun outings, rides to the beach and was even able to get a tattoo artist to come to the house to add some additional ink to the family members that were needing something to remember for life! The rest of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful as well. We a couple of us get sick on different days (maybe rum induced), and they were very thoughtful and considerate in making them comfortable and feeling better. I would like I suggest putting in more plastic cups for the house since everything is tile and would have been very nice out by the pool/hot tub area. We did not have children in our group, but still had a cup our two go down in the house. Overall though, we had an absolute great trip to the DR and really think this house was a huge part in making that happen. It was a different way for our families to travel or are used to traveling.... having staff on hand organizing our outings, cooking us food and making us drinks really made for a relaxing and overall epic time. Thank you for allowing us to stay at this splendid Palace!

Relaxing and comfortable

Large villa with wonderful view. Owner was responsive and helpful prior to check in. Onsite staff including villa manager, kitchen/house attendants, taxi driver, maintenence man, security….all wonder people…friendly, welcoming, attentive. Interesting walk down the hill to public beach area…and a bit of exercise coming back up. Taxi available anytime at your request to go anywhere….and to return you to villa. Some maintenance issues were handled quickly…many light bulbs needed replacing…hot tub didn’t stay heated, toilets had some flushing issues. Any and all concerns were addressed…some the next day. Some observations…only one TV in villa (living room area) and on the small side. With our crew..bedroom TVs would have been nice. When gathered around dining area table adjacent to living room for cards, games, etc…difficult for those in living area trying to watch TV. “Game room had older foosball table and rather “used” pool table and cues. “Exercise equipment was similarly “used” , and some non functional. Our weather was warm and windy….not sure if hillside location is always windy but most days during our visit it was strong enough to blow towels, cups, glasses, off chairs and tables. The pool is very nice but on the cold side during our visit. It is not heated. The bold in our crew used it anyway every day! To the owner,Glen, to the villa mgr, Santa, and the wonderful staff….thank you!

Most memorable view Eagle soars higher than others

What a great experience !!! We spend 7 days at Eagle Villa and loved every second of it! The best view anywhere in the island, stunning beach and Ocean World right underneath. The villa is located atop a very tall hill and is very peaceful. The service people are very friendly and the cook was tremendous, loved every dish she prepared (not sure how good she was speaking English as we speak Spanish and did not interact with her using English). Eagle Villa has top to bottom sliding glass doors all throughout, to your left the Atlantic Ocean, to your right the very beautiful Dominican landscape, lots of hills and green all around. We cannot wait to get back, the most relaxing vacation week I've ever experienced. TIPS: -If you bring kids you need to understand this is not a place where little ones can be left unattended, not even for a second. -We found the taxi cabs from Costambar (about 5 minutes away) were more reasonable (about $20 for a round trip to Puerto Plata's downtown, this included about an hour of their time just waiting for us to finish shopping). -If you go, you gotta visit this great little restaurant called "Los Tres Cocos" the food was delicious, you won't regret it. The place is very well kept, offers a very tropical setting. -Eat something BEFORE you arrive at the villa, it will not be stocked for you, and it will cost you to get back down to eat or go food shopping. -Ocean World is a great attraction specially for those traveling with kids, if you are a Dominican national, they offer a substantial discount (so make sure to take that cedula with you) Is something along the lines of SeaWorld, maybe not on the smae level, but pretty close.

50th Birthday Celebration

My husband and I invited 7 guests to celebrate with us. There are 9 very large bedrooms each with a large bathroom so everyone had their own space. The villa has a fantastic pool on the lower level and a hot tub on the upper level - both overlooking the town and ocean below. The staff was attentive without being intrusive. The food was outstanding - far better than the restaurants even for picky eaters. We loved having daily massages available at the villa also. We had a driver take us out to the city and exciursions daily. Truly an amazing villa that we can’t wait to return to with family. Absolutely no complaints!

Phenomenal Experience

This was me and my friends first time visiting the Dominican Republic, we had a great time. Glenda & Santa did a great job with providing us with GREAT Hospitality. The staff was the friendliest staff I have ever dealt with, we barely had to lift a finger, they did a awesome job cleaning, their cooking was great, and they washed all of our clothes everyday. I’m sure this will not be my last stay at the Bentley Villa. I would recommend this stay to anyone, GREAT staff, GREAT views, and overall a GREAT experience! With Love, Noah

About the host

Hosted by Glen Pearce

Host profile image
James Bond Villa is a family-run business that believes in guest satisfaction as the most important aspect of a villa rental vacation. That is why James Bond Villa provides a fully staffed service so that guests don't need to worry about anything!

Glen Pearce designed the villa in 2008 which took two years to build. He wanted to construct a spacious villa which still retained the charming elements of a Dominican style casita. Thus the use of Spanish style tiles along with the consistent use of the warming colonial white and feature pieces such as the wrought iron staircase and large hanging chandeliers. The result is a private villa with phenomenal views and a spacious interior with plenty of character - not your typical villa rental!

In 2016 he was joined by his daughter Glenda, who assists him with running the bookings alongside working freelance in London. And in 2020 his son Scott also joined the team (who is also London based) and offers his expertise and experience to help the family business grow.

James Bond Villa has a core team who are the heart of the villa. Santa, their bilingual villa manager, has a warm and helpful manner and will ensure that your vacation is flawless. Her second in command is Dioma, who is also a professional chef, will ensure that everything is running ship-shape so you don't have to worry about a thing! The third member is Carlos, the friendly and helpful handyman who will efficiently fix a problem, always with a smile on his face!

Why they chose this property

Playa Cofresi in Puerto Plata has everything going for it and still retains the authentic Dominican charm whilst avoiding the tourist frenzy (unlike chaotic the tourist traps such as Sosua and Cabarete.)

We have elevations here which not only gives incredible views but also emits a cool sea breeze, which makes it a perfect climate all year round.

Unlike most of the villas on the beach James Bond Villa is not overlooked by other villas and offers complete privacy. The villa is also conveniently located within walking distance of local amenities.
