We were part of a party of 20 staying between three villas at Villas Paraiso, all managed by Frank. Just want to start by saying that the whole process was seamless, from initial booking to questions before arrival, transportation from airport and check in. Frank was very responsive for the almost ten months from time of booking to arrival. We were there to celebrate a friends 50th birthday and it all went off without a hitch. The staff that is on property was always helpful and friendly. We had two bonfires on the beach while we were there, all taken care of by the property maintenance and security staff. The cook Jenny was hired for one full day for all three villas for three meals. She was awesome to work with from planning to service. Eduardo was our go to for all of our transportation and excursion needs. He also was a wealth of knowledge for local restaurants and local vibe. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone that want to try local living away from the resorts. It was only a 20 minute ride from Puerto Plata airport and Eduardo even stopped at Janets market on way back from airport. Location was perfect for quiet time and being in our own little compound made it feel so safe, not that there was any issues. the local dogs help keep guard also, :) The three of them were so friendly and you knew right away if someone was walking the beach. Another great asset to make you feel at home!! The Villa Belvedere was perfect for the six of us. Three beds with their own baths was perfect. The decor was so cool, as well as the pool table which we used all the time. Kitchen area is right size for 6 people and the pool also. It was a little cold for us (being from Florida) but it was just the time of year we were there.(January 2020).
There was nothing bad at all for our whole trip, would definitely recommend this villa to anyone looking to check out Cabarete!!
Cheers and thanks again to Frank and his Staff for making it a great vacation!!
