We loved our stay at this property. The property is clean and secure. We enjoyed the pool and close proximity to the beach(6min walk). The communication with the property manager was easy and Ingrid is super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was complimentary but you only pay for the groceries. The chef is also available to cook lunch and dinner for a fee plus the cost of groceries. The location is one of my favorites in all of DR. I recommend to anyone that wants to get away and relax by the beach. We will definitely be staying at this property again in the future.

Second time, great location

This is our second time booking this duplex. Location n unit are excellent! Owner very responsive when booking. There was a double booking situation on days I added. Owner upgraded us to much bigger house beach/ocean front. Excellent for 10 plus people. While amazing we prefer our duplex for family of 4. Lady years concierge was mi h better. More responsive n faster response. More attention to detail. More thorough n helpful. Person on premises at our intended duplex Jendry was great.

Wonderful relaxing stay

We had a wonderful week at Las Terrenas. The beach is incredibly beautiful and only a 2 min walk from apartment past the big pool. We loved the serenity of the place, no big hotels, a few beach shacks to get good lunch, otherwise a lot of nature and not a lot of tourists. Everyone was friendly, helpful and attentive. Dany the chef made us breakfast every day and dinner twice - highly recommend him. The only thing to note is that there is no supermarket close by but they help you stack the fridge or there is a delivery app that serves the apartment as well. All very easy and quick. Very happy with our choice and just how naturally beautiful this place is. We had a great trip and so did our three kids (ages 3-10). Waves were perfect for them and not too strong. Highly recommend this place

Villa Review

Main living/Dining room needs an AC option. Orhers have recommended this. The open space is great but it can get very humid and hot there making it uncomfortable to sit and have dinner at the table. The villa was nice and clean. The rooms had plenty of space but my guest in the lower rooms had to use the bathroom upstairs because their toilets would not flush properly. The chef was really pleasant and on time. Very nice guy who would do anything for you. Only issue here is, you have to open the door for him to come in. So if you had a late night out and wanted to sleep in but still wanted breakfast ready , you would have to wake up early and open the door for him. After he's done , you would have to pay for the purchased goods and sign a voucher etc.... Overall, this was our first villa experience with chef and cleaning included. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay and would do it again. All the things noted are just suggestions and small nuances that can be easily ignored and will not get in the way of anyone enjoying themselves.

Beautiful and unforgettable stay!

We had such a wonderful stay here—everyone was so welcoming, and the entire experience was unforgettable. Having Chef Danny here truly made it extra special. He is not only an incredible chef but also taught our teenagers some cooking, and was so kind to our family. It was also helpful to have an English speaking concierge available - they helped us arrange safe, reputable services like round-trip airport transportation and ATV/buggy rentals for the week. That gave us so much peace of mind. (We wouldn’t recommend renting a car here—the roads are very narrow, and most locals get around by scooter, which adds to the charm.)A few more helpful notes: the house provides a water cooler and filtered jug replacement, which was great since you don’t want to drink the tap water in the DR. Also unique to the DR is that you don’t flush toilet paper—you place it in the wastebaskets due to the plumbing systems, which took a little getting used to. Also typical that occasionally there are brief power/hot water interruptions, but nothing that disrupted our stay. Washing machine but no dryer, but they provide a rack to dry them outside. Beautiful and luxurious home in a neighborhood with visible security at all times, which was very reassuring - we felt safe there. It was far better than staying at a resort for us because we could immerse ourselves in the culture. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something real, beautiful and unforgettable.

Great spot in Las Terrenas

It was just as advertised. Service was excellent, location was good. Driving is crazy, so we walked or taxied everywhere. Nice beach bars/restaurants nearby. Ask for Leo at Sol y Mar! Town is fairly small, no buildings over 3 stories. Dieceocho was excellent restaurant in town.

Family vacation

Family of 6 first time in DR. Check in was a little rough with miss communication and some issues at first but once in the villa the place was amazing. Everything was VERY clean and the staff was very nice and helpful. Chef Danny did a great job with breakfast and our concierge was very good at responding to our questions. The beaches were beautiful and very few people- almost like you had it to yourself. Felt very safe the entire stay. Had we had a better check in without the missed communication we would have rated this higher. Not sure where the miss communication occurred- may have been VRBO vs BRB but we felt like we missed out on vital information and traveling from out of the country, this did cause some stress.

Thanksgiving Week at Villa Ribera Mar

This nice and clean property awaited our small family of three for Thanksgiving week in the Dominican Republic. Even though our Spanish speaking skills are terrible, we had no problem communicating with the residence personnel. All of them are very helpful. We enjoyed the spacious and tastefully decorated interior, the view and easy access to the beach. The beachfront road between Las Terrenas and the villa has many restaurants and bars. During our stay we explored the surroundings a bit including a hike to Salto El Limón and scuba diving. All in all it was a great way of spending Thanksgiving under the sun.

If I had questions she answered in a timely manner. Upon arrive we were greeted by Stephanie and all of our luggage was brought into he unit. A cellphone was provided so we could contact them if needed. The unit was beautiful and perfect. Just steps from the beach which had a minimum number of people. It was perfect.
