My wife and I were looking for a special place to celebrate our 25th anniversary, and did we ever find it! It looked like it was going to be such a fun time that we brought our 3 teenagers along with us!
How to describe the property?! The ride up to the property from the main road was thrilling....the road beautifully winds through the jungle, up and down hills, with a steep hill at the very end, where beautiful Villa Solymar awaited us, at top Of the mountain. And beautiful it was! Ramon, the full-time, on the premises caretaker, did a great job of showing us the property, and then let us settle in. The house was in immaculate shape, with everything very clean and looking like new. Because we were getting in there after dark, we had no idea what a beautiful view was in our future. More on that later!! The house was fully furnished, with everything we could possibly need on our trip. The kitchen was fully functional, and allowed us to easily cook most of our meals during our stay. Each room/ bedroom was tastefully decorated...our master bedroom was especially spacious with a beautiful balcony, as well as an over-sized jacuzzi tub in the master bath. There were also several different eating areas, from inside in the great room, to outside on the huge balcony that stretches across the whole front of the house. We loved the windows that opened out from the kitchen to the balcony so that plates could be passed in and out with ease.
The infinity pool was amazing, always perfectly clean, as Ramon was out before we all woke up, keeping it pristine and inviting to jump in, which we did many times throughout our stay.
During our time, we had just a couple of small plumbing issues, which were quickly taken care of by Ramon. He was extremely helpful, and always willing to lend a hand, as was Librada, who was there daily to wash dishes, make beds, do laundry, etc., making this a true vacation indeed!
Sandra gave us all kinds of helpful advice on where to go and what to do. On our second day, she recommended the beautiful and secluded Coson Beach—absolutely breathtaking in every way!
We loved our stay at Villa Solymar, and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly 5-star accommodation!
Oh yes, and back to that view from Villa Solymar...unbelievable! At dusk, we were there most every night to watch the sun set in the distance over the beautifully warm Carribean waters, confirming our choice that we had picked the perfect place!
