This is the PERFECT place to help make the PERFECT family vacation or reunion! Extraordinary setting, views, facilities, amenities, and options to keep everyone having a fabulous time.
I don’t know of anyplace else where you have massive living space indoors, but also outdoors (under the porches), AND a pool and lawn. The bathrooms and kitchen are terrific, but the 15 of us ate every meal outside on the porch. Everyone, ages 3 to 70 had plenty of room. Some kids would be in the huge pool, others playing badminton on the lawn, others down at the Sea Horse Ranch pools (which you can see), and others at the beach – all within 50 yards of one another. The community is absolutely the quietest I know of in the DR!
The views of the ocean, the sounds of the waves crashing on the rocks, and the breezes blowing through the palm trees are memorable. We loved the evening walks on the paths and enjoyed the starry views. The settings were perfect for our family photo shoot which help us keep these memories forever.
The table on the porch was large enough for the 15 of us to eat at one place. The maid cooked the best rice and beans, we barbecued on the grill, we walked over to the oceanfront Sea Horse restaurant, and had takeout Mexican food from Gordito’s. Having two refrigerators, a buffet serving area, and massive counter space made the kitchen a hit with the ladies. Those of us from the DR appreciated drinking the filtered water right from the tap!
The activities for the family were amazing and all so close! Two miles to the east, we took the family surfing at El Encuentro Beach. The staff there were terrific with the little kids – taking them out on the surfboards and holding them while the road in on their shoulders. We played tennis at Sea Horse Ranch and Ocean Village – both places accommodating and helpful. We went horseback riding on the beach and the kids did pony rides, right in Sea Horse Ranch. In Sosua Bay, the snorkeling was magnificent – especially since they are now preserving the coral reef. One mile away, at Ocean Village, the playground, water park, petting zoo, ziplines, obstacle courses, and fishing were a favorite of the kids. Since the prices of activities are very reasonable, you don’t go broke with a large group!
All of family wrote to us and said it was the best place ever – I think you will find this to be true with your visit here!
