Our stay was beautiful! The house fit our needs. I loved the little outdoor patio in the house. Our whole family absolutely loved the swimming pool!! Madeleine got life jackets for our kids to use since we could only pack one small personal bag on the plane. Those were a huge blessing!!!
There were a couple minor issues with things working in the house, but they got them fixed very quickly. We are generally easy-to-please people, and things like these happen all the time in real life, so it did not bother us. I just mention it to leave an accurate review for other people.
We chose not rent a car to get a more local experience for our children. Right outside the gate we took buses 26 or 69 to plaza las Americas and the city center (for ADO bus and Mercados 23 or 28), and from those places we switched routes to other destinations we wanted to visit. We speak Spanish so it worked for us. I’m thinking if you don’t speak Spanish, and therefore probably don’t want to take local transportation, definitely rent a car (assuming you feel comfortable driving there, which we did not, since we are not used to it, and had our children with us). It is not within walking distance to the beach or tourist attractions, but it’s a very nice and friendly gated community!
It was a perfect place to stay for our family! We would definitely stay again!
