Loved this condo. My husband and I spent 2 weeks in this condo at Marbella. The condo was wonderful and the view from the balcony is so beautiful and amazed us every day. Giovanni is very kind and helpful with any questions that you may have. The king size bed was very comfortable, the kitchen well supplied and the WiFi was extremely fast. The guarded gates make the condos very safe (even though the area is filled with friendly locals). We walked every morning all around the small town and did not feel threatened at all. The staff at Marbella are very friendly and helpful, but if you do not speak Spanish, I would recommend downloading a translator app. The pools and beach are clean and so comfortable. During the week there isn't much of a crowd, so it is nice and quiet. The weekend gets busier with locals who own condos, but you will still be able to find a spot on the beach. The restaurant/bar on the property is very good and convenient. There are several good restaurants within walking distance of the condo. There are a couple of mini marts and one small grocery store also within walking distance. A larger grocery store is about 30 minutes away. I would highly recommend this condo, especially if you are looking for a quieter area than a Punta Cana resort. We will definitely return for our next Dominican Republic vacation.
