We just returned from 6 days at Villa Poseidon in Punta Cana. The house is just as in the pictures- roomy & nicely furnished. The house is in the Los Corales community & it's really pretty. The split a/c units make the temps ( & electric bill) easy to manage. The beds are SUPER comfy- we wanted to take them home..lol. Kitchen well equipped. The pool was really nice & while it is a community pool, had no more than 2 other people using it- sometimes just us. Wifi as good as home. The beach is a 2 min walk & with beach chairs & shade pulpas provided but my only disappointment- while not crowded- it's very active, party boats & off-shore excursions loading in afternoon- for many this may be a plus. I preferred the quiet mornings. But this seemed to be the norm all along the Punta Cana beaches- I walked for an hour in each direction. The response, pre-trip tips & on-site communications with host, Pat & property manager Gregory were OUTSTANDING! I recommend reaching out to them with any question you have while there- don't hesitate-they're super responsive & helpful. Other tips: Go to Jumbo on way in for big order- but there's also a small supermarket Ciccolella a few blocks away- not as big or stocked as Jumbo & a it's a bit more expensive- but has everything you may find you need & nearby. Captain Cook seaside restaurant langostinos & fish tacos at Villa Blanca Beach club ( at beach access from house) were my favs. This is a great house & location for a big family get together,
We stayed here for several days with two teenagers, two grandparents and two parents. The rooms and bathrooms are so convenient and the layout of the entire place is lovely. The check-in process was very easy and everyone is so nice! Everything is within a very short, walking distance, including the pool, restaurants, and of course, the gorgeous beach! We had a little trouble finding the place, (we were driving ourselves in a rental), and we called Ms. Pat and she stayed on the phone with us to point us in the right direction and arrive with no problems. Talk about customer service! She is the best hostess weâve ever had in our vacation experiences. She provides more than enough information, and she is extremely helpful with all questions. We always felt safe throughout our visit. And the staff at the nearby restaurants could not be nicer! The food and drinks are delicious at Enjoy. We also had two meals at Soles restaurant on the beach. Unbelievably delicious and the customer service is out of site.The beds were very comfy, the showers worked well with plenty of hot water, the kitchen is well appointed, including a coffee maker and a microwave and a blender. The sunroom-type sitting room at the entrance is a fantastic place to hang out in the evenings and just enjoy a cocktail with family. We also used the gas grill on the terrace. My son wanted to see a soccer game, and the big TV in the living room works perfectly and is a very nice picture. Great place!
We had a great experience on our vacation! Communication with both Pat and Greg was excellent. We didn't have a lot of questions once we arrived because Pat had provided a lot of helpful information prior to our trip. And, once we arrived we had immediate answers to the couple of questions we had.
Transport to and from the airport was great. We all arrived together but departed in two separate groups. Having these arrangements made for us was super helpful and removed a lot of stress from the equation - all we had to do was get in the van!
We had the chef come in two of the nights of our stay. I would highly recommend Rafael!! The food was amazing, the cost was very affordable, and he really catered to our likes.
I also have to say the beach was AMAZING. We had originally planned go on some excursions during our trip. However, we ended up just going to the beach every day - it was beautiful and bobbing around in the water was totally relaxing!! We came home relaxed and rejuvenated!!!
I took hosted a graduation trip for my 18 yr old son and his four best friends. We found the house very much to our liking. Very comfortable beds and very convenient location just a few minutes walk to restaurants and grocery stores. The pool was just outside our door which was really nice to cook off in before and after the beach. We had a couple issues the first day and they were both addressed immediately by Gregory the property manager. We were also recommended a chef for a night by Pat and Gregory and it was truly one of the best meals we have ever had! Will definitely be renting again the next time we travel to PC!
Not as advertised. Many issues from day 1. Water coming into the house due to poor drainage on the balcony. The property manager was there when we arrived cleaning up the water that was coming into the home. After he left which was a hour later, we (7 of us) all had to clean up. Day 2 more rain more cleaning. Advertised as luxury far from it. Toaster oven looks like it was picked up from the trash. The grill was dirty and the grease trap had not seen a cleaning in a very long while. I wish I could upload pictures as they do not lie. The grill did not work, the first thing you see as you drive up to the home is trash that smells awful. I could go on about all the issues with the home. I would not recommend it to anyone.
Beautiful property...worth the cost. Minor adjustments will make it an overall 'Five Star' Rental. Solidly built, large rooms with bath for each...provides total privacy for all.
We would rent all over again!
This is a great place to stay in Punta Cana, The Villa is safe and clean and on a great property. The beach is close by and everything else is a short Uber away.
The property manager is responsive if you need anything and fortunately for us we did not have any issues with the house.
I would highly recommend this property to anyone who would like to stay
1. House is as described and on a prime location.
2. Electricity is not included in the rental charge â buried in fine print instead of up front.
3. Late check-in. We were let in after 5pm instead of 3pm. Reason: prior guests checked out late. No apology was offered.
4. Long water outage. Water went out after 9pm, we went to bed after 10pm, I rose at 4am to find the taps dry, and they remained dry until we left at 8:30. No chance to shower before retiring, dishes left dirty overnight and barely enough to use for breakfast, dirty toilets, we headed out the next morning still unwashed.
Pat was very attentive before our stay. After we got in, she quickly had a broken shower and hinges fixed. But her handling of #3 and 4 left us dissatisfied. The water outage was beyond her control, but her response was a plain "Sorry for the inconvenience". A true 5-star host would have offered something in return, before the guest even asks, and not necessarily a monetary rebate. Simple gestures go a long way: like sending a bottle of wine or fruit basket or sending someone to do the dishes and clean the toilets after the water returned. Instead, when we asked for compensation, what ensued was a long string of messages bragging about how good a host Pat is, how much money sheâs spent to upgrade the property, what a great deal we got for renting this home, and basically making us sound whiny and unreasonable for seeking compensation for a service weâd paid for that was not delivered.
Perfect location close to everything need for our stay host was great with communication from the moment we book until we checked out she went above and beyond to ensure the safety of my family that was traveling from different airport. And ensure we had everything we needed to be comfortable for our stay we where a group of 12 and it didnât feel crowded house is very spacious the top deck was my favorite to sit and enjoy the evening breeze and a cocktail we will definitely recommend this property and will revisit.
We had such a wonderful time at this Villa, in Los Corales and the DR. This was our first visit to this part of the Island and it did not disappoint. The water is crystal clear. The Villa is the perfect location for beach and pool with all the amenities. Pat is a perfect hostess and her tips of what to do and see weâre spot on. Greg, the property manager, was there at check in to welcome and to make sure we had the most enjoyable time. Highly recommend a visit to this Villa and the DR. Thanks Pat for opening your lovely home to us!
Awesome time condo is in a perfect location with restaurants and shops in walking distance. Beach is beautiful. You'll need to travel outside the neighborhood if your looking for cheaper restaurants and stores. Greg the manager took care of all the small problems that happened when we were there . Ac breaker broke but was fixed in about 2 hours. They have some construction going on and the water was on off the first couple days but it t was resolved quickly. Great place for groups or a couple families.
Lots of room in and amazing terraces in this home course to all the things, a great beach with attendants, a pool right next to house, convenience store right there and close to a bunch of restaurants and shopping.
This house was everything we wanted for our family of 6 (3 couples). It was one of several houses in a beautiful community of large spanish style villas. The immediate area was like a dream and very close to the beach(5 minute walk) Seaweed was a bit much, but I got used to it. We built precious memories.
This is a valued home for big groups! It is not perfect but spacious and with everything needed to make a trip memorable! Walking distance to beach. Owner is on top of things. She will guide you all the way and make sure you are treated well. Even at the beach they already had my name and were waiting for me. This is a great budget home that offers a lot of home comforts. Specially for those who don't enjoy the craziness of hotels and having to park with a valet or far from the room as well as to adhere to eating within a certain window. By the way if you come you need to go to Coco Bongos! The place is amazing. But make sure to get the VIP table to really get the complete experience!
This was a great vacation. Pat was very good at keeping us updated as to the check in process and telling us great places to go and explore. Check in was super easy. We had Rafael prepare dinner each night and it was so nice to eat dinner together âat home.â We sat around the table and enjoyed great food and company. Rafael and his beautiful wife even did the dishes. We highly recommend them.
This vacation home was in a safe community. You could walk downtown safely. For anyone who questions an all inclusive wrests a VRBOâŠgive this a try. Cesar is the driver and he takes you places that you wouldnât know otherwise. House was fabulous and spacious. We loved it!!! Pat was fabulous!
Pat is an amazing host. Of all the rental properties Iâve ever stayed in, Iâve never had someone so quick and thorough with their responses. We did have one issue though, the dishwasher was not working, BUT, Pat came through like a champ sent someone out (on her dime) twice to clean our dishes. We felt safe the entire time and the gated community was beautiful. I could not recommend this house enough.
Thank you Pat :)
The owner was very good at responding to any and all questions or complications. 5 ladies enjoying a birthday celebration. The driver Cesar was absolutely the best ever. He was available to us every time we called. And great with helping us with trips throughout the vacation.
This was our first trip to Punta Cana and it was amazing. Pat was very easy to work with and was very responsive to any questions. Her hospitality guide was a fantastic guide to use before and during the trip. I wish I would have realized there were not many beach towels because I would have brought more, but I likely missed that detail in her guide.
Citrus and Wacomole were our favorite restaurants. Mackenzie (beach attendant) was awesome. He was very welcoming when we went to the beach and made sure we had everything we needed (Patâs advice on tipping probably helped as well!) We even booked an excursion to Saona Island through Mackenzie and it was amazing. We were pleasantly surprised when he contacted us the next day and told us he had change to give us. Another must see is Montana Redonda!
So Iâm use to staying in 4&5 star rentals and unfortunately this place was a 1.The Bathrooms were dirty , the mirror in my bathroom(the Master bedroom)was dirty. All the bathroom faucets and shower fixtures were old&green & dirty. The owner stated that she only provides 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom for her guests and that this was not a hotel and I had to buy toilet paper when we ran out. Actually there was no paper towels at the house we got there so we had to buy that ourselves. The 5days that we stayed there included a weekend that rained 2days during the weekend in April and I had to request blankets from the owner because all the beds only have a sheet on them. Pat the owner stated itâs not a custom for her to supply her guests with blankets in the spring , summer and fall months. I told her that Iâve stayed in plenty rentals and her home is the 1st one that didnât have blankets on the bed or in the closets for your house guests. We used the deck a lot to gather together and when it was raining while we on the deck we wanted blankets to put over us because it was damp & chilly while it was raining. In addition there was a large puddle of water that accumulated on the kitchen floor that we had to mop up because the concrete around the window is broken up and crumbling to pieces. The window is in need of major repair. Also in the master bedroom there is a balcony you can go out to and because it was raining so hard there was water coming into the bedroom from the balcony. The drain on the balcony is not pushing the water off the house, the drain is bringing the water into the house and caused a puddle of water in the bedroom on the floor. The 3rd deck on top of the villa is nice but the plastic covers on the deck furniture is all ripped up and I feel something like that is an easy fix, but I guess the owner nor her property manager think so. I guess I expected too much. I expressed to Pat that her villa needs a lot of work done to it. Pat said that she hasnât had anyone be so critical of her home in years, like myself but then she said that every few years she gets a group like mine whom is unhappy from the minute they arrive until they leave. That says to me that she is not interested in trying to fix the things her guests have complained about, nor is she interested in doing any upgrades to her villa. FYIâŠRafael the Chef was outstanding and Cesar the driver was great.
The property was very outdated and not clean at all. The refrigerator was clean but kitchen wear old and dirty. Two small beds join together to make one bed. Very uncomfortable time at the house.
This large upper house was wonderful for our 12 day stay. 630 steps from Los Corales Beach, this little enclave is sheltered from noise and activity of bustling plaza and night life just blocks away. It's convenient to grocery stores and dining. The house was clean and well kept. Five bedrooms each with it's own bath was wonderful. Dishwasher and washer and dryer a plus. Pat Faye, the owner, was steps away and very responsive to any questions or needs. She has researched and documented all needs in a hospitality guide. She went above and beyond! This is our third trip to Los Corrales. We would definitely rent here again.
My family loved the place! It was very clean and well equipped. House is located in an area where you can find everything you need. Communicating with Pat was always quick. She was very thoughtful of my requests and always gave tips about the area, house, outdoors, restaurants, etc. Overall, hospitality 10/10, cleanliness 10/10, area 10/10, and communication 100/10. Recommend it!
My friends and I very much enjoyed our time on the beach here. The villa is spacious and we loved hanging out on the covered deck.
Itâs close to nice local restaurants and all the beach activities. Be aware you will need to pay $10/day for sun beds.
