My family of four and I stayed at Las Galeras Village for a month, and there is nothing we would have changed. Everything was clean, and the hospitality was exceptional. We felt at home. The wine and cheese experience at the cave was unforgettable. The team is truly one of a kind.
I really enjoyed my stay here! The units were beautiful; clean, spacious and comfortable! The location is absolutely beautiful (you have a beautiful view if you walk up the hill). The pool is nice too. There's drinking water in the facility. In the kitchen, they have most necessities ( including blender and sandwich maker...but no kettle or microwave oven). Note that you have to pay $10 USD to get your rooms cleaned but they do an excellent job. What i didn't like was that they didn't provide toilet paper/shampoo aside from what was there on the first day which wouldn't last long. You're paying a nightly fee which means this should be available. They also charge for new sheets/towels.I understand that they intend to be eco-friendly, but this is not the way to go. Also, you cannot pay with card (only cash and PayPal... And they try to charge you for PayPal fees).
We spent our honeymoon in this villa and we are very happy that we made such a good choice! Believe me, after this place you will not be able to live in any other! 1) Location. Here are the most beautiful beaches: azure water, white sand, no waves and total privacy! These beaches will bring you much more pleasure than any other beaches in the Dominican Republic. 2) Safety. Here is probably the safest place in the entire country. First, the road to Samana is toll-free and it is simply not profitable for thieves to spend so much money :) Secondly, the owner was able to recreate the feeling of a small personal eco-village with all the necessary infrastructure and protection. Gates, cameras, security in the form of a caretaker - you can feel as safe as possible and not worry about your things. 3) Villa. All the villas in this eco-village are beautiful. There were two of us, but the villa was very large and roomy. It had everything we needed and more! We were able to cook any meal we wanted, make coffee, make toast and smoothies all month long. My husband loved the hammock and we had breakfast on the veranda. 4) Infrastructure. The territory has everything: swimming pool, Jacuzzi, restaurant, mini gym, laundry, parking. You can order food delivery from restaurants in Las Galeras, you can rent a motorcycle/car, you can book a tour - all without leaving the villa. 5) Staff. Manuel, the caretaker of the settlement, will help you with everything! From settling in, to renting transportation or any tips. Answers all questions instantly, helps instantly. We were not the quietest tenants and constantly texted Manuel. He was patiently courteous and helped us with everything. Change of comment author: My wife has excused herself and I will continue to write a review of life at the villa. So, it was said above that I liked the hammock. That's right, it was especially lucky to lie and relax in it while my wife was going to the beach. Usually, it takes my wife an hour to get ready for the beach, but sometimes the time extended to 90 minutes. You know, when you are lying in a hammock, no problems in life bother you anymore. I think the owner of the eco-villa has an excellent understanding of female psychology and knows how to help a man not to get bored during long waits. In addition to the hammock you will find a gym, billiards, swimming pool and Jacuzzi. After such an abundance of everything, the wife can gather even the whole day, you will have something to do throughout the period. I would like to pay special attention to the servants. For 20 dollars and a polite smile to the ears, you will clean the entire house, replace linens, towels, wash dishes, wipe the dust, disinfect from insects. I am quite picky about cleanliness and according to my observations, the result of cleaning is top notch. In addition, the maids will do their kindness and wash your clothes. This was very nice of them, they are always very polite. -- If you read this review and are still in doubt, then put all hesitation aside and book urgently before some lucky person books the villa before you!
We had such a wonderful time, a perfect service, that topped our expectations, very lovely, communicative and well organized. We enjoyed an amazing view on the ocean from the roof terrace, a very comfortable room, delicious original Italian food and awesome peaceful and clean nature surrounding the entire spot. Thank you so much for this great holiday :-).
4 towels for 6 people, 1 tiny jug of water . Bring your own food plates and cups and water . Amazing views , games room and gym had just enough! All in all it was beautiful but could use a couple extras for the cost . I'd go back but prepared.
