Holiday houses in Cruce De Guayacanes

Lucia is an absolutely lovely host, and her Villa in Cofresi is in a beautiful location with really incredible views of the hills & ocean. Lucia met us personally when we arrived from the airport and then gave us a quick tour of the area by car. Her villa is located on a hilltop in Cofresi that is flanked by multiple resorts. Down the hill, about a 10-15 minute walk away, is a small cluster of restaurants and a convenience store. Unfortunately, we visited during the week and most places nearby had extremely limited hours. It seemed that most local amenities (like coffee shops & restaurants) were also for resort members only. Lucia had advised us to get a rental car in order to see the most of Puerto Plata including some of the nicer beaches like Dorado & Sosua, which I would definitely recommend if you are visiting. As a host, Lucia was incredible, always available and set us up with tours to see some of the most beautiful parts of Puerto Plata.

Villa Aura exceeded all expectations, far more stunning than the photos. Conveniently located just 49 mins from El Morro and 25 mins from Cayo Arena, and near Playa El Hombre. Thoughtfully stocked with essentials, including toothbrushes, Colgate, and kitchen supplies. The pool, complete with a small fountain, is delightful. Enjoy the barbecue area and beautifully themed garden with a play area for kids. The villa boasts big rooms with beautiful bedding, adding to the sense of luxury. The high-quality materials throughout make it a true paradise. Our host, Sagrada, was incredibly responsive, providing prompt assistance and ensuring our comfort. We savored mesmerizing sunsets and witnessed breathtaking sunrises, cherishing every moment, while the children fully enjoyed the villa's amenities. Unfortunately, there's no option to upload photos on Airbnb, or we would have loved to share them to justify our glowing review. Juana is nice caretaker and Sargada’s brother is also supercool.

Beautiful apartment just as described, loved that it was gated and we had easy access. A lot of amenities were available for our use. The host was very responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Will definitely be back! ☺️
