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.
