Holiday rentals with breakfast in Cofresi

Eduardo and Sandy provided excellent and accurate information. When we arrived at the resort, the villa the resort assigned to us was in need of some maintenance. The villa had low water pressure and all other amenities worked, the air conditioners worked great in the house, and waking to the smell of bacon cooking every morning is absolutely AMAZING! We will definitely be booking again in the future with them!!

Outstanding stay as advertised

Great discovery the GEKO! fabulous place! fantastic communication with Patricia and Karina! Hemos tenido an awesome estancia! Y sitio perfecto para ir con niños! Les animamos a ir, el lugar es mágico y probaran uno de los mejores mojitos de la isla! Dream spot! a great discovery of the GEKO! we know the island well, but this place is a small treasure to keep... perfect for a stay with children! and if you go you will taste one of the best mojitos on the island.

Simply put: This was a stay of a lifetime! We stayed at Brian's villa at Lifestyles with a small group of girls (late 20s/early 30s) for our annual trip. Brian, his team and the Lifestyles staff were unbelievable hosts that made us feel so welcome and helped us every step of the way, including incremental excursions and late-night pizza requests!! HOST CORRESPONDENCE: From the beginning, Brian was the absolute best with communication. He asked what method I preferred (text, call or email) — he was SUPER helpful and prompt. From the moment we booked, he was over-communicative with literally everything — From booking each guest’s insurance (and updating throughout the trip), coordinating travel accommodations to/from the airport, and even helping to book special excursions with his local network in town. Brian is kind, funny, SUPER responsive and professional. He has a deep understanding of Puerto Plata and the surrounding towns like Sousa. He made us feel safe, welcome and was *literally* our X-Factor to an unforgettable vacation. See more below! ACCOMMODATIONS: As many of the reviews state, the villa is MUCH bigger, cleaner and polished than the photos indicate. It's simply GORGEOUS. Each person got their own room (...which is practically a "wing" by hospitality standards) with plenty of closet space and a large, en-suite bathroom (2 BRs with double sinks suited for couples). The beds, linens and pillows were super comfortable, and each room comes with its own thermostat to adjust the temperature to your liking. We were all comfortable each night and got great sleep! Of note: The water pressure in the Dominican Republic is much different than the States, so should be noted this is not a villa-specific issue. We did have an issue with a faint sewer smell, but we addressed it with Brian in the very beginning and it was quickly remedied. The pool was so fun for early morning dips after a workout and late-night shenanigans. We didn’t use it nearly enough during the days (as they were spent at the beach!), but the pool was such a nice luxury! The villa comes with an outside sound system, but it is difficult to use. We happened to bring a JBL Speaker, which has Bluetooth, and used that as our main audio source for inside/outside music. CLEANING SERVICE: When you leave for the day, your villa is lightly refreshed with bed-making, bath towel refreshments, wipe-downs and garbage take-out. We also frequently woke up to our pool being cleaned and balanced. It’s so nice and you feel completely safe with recurring men and women supporting the same villa each day — you become super familiar with them all! EXCURSIONS: I had asked Brian for recommendations on a boat day for our group. He QUICKLY elevated our experience 10x over and coordinated an AMAZING afternoon on a private catamaran complete with an English-speaking guide (Mirella) who picked us up at the resort and escorted us the full afternoon. Brian and Mirella asked for our refreshment order and the boat was stocked with our favorite vodka, tequila, beer and mixers. It was such an amazing day that we asked to do it again! Brian quickly coordinated ANOTHER, longer afternoon and evening on the boat. Mirella once again picked us up and we partied the day and night away with amazing private catamaran service (and our beautiful, fun, interesting escort Mirella!) The crew on the boat were overly attentive, making drinks and laughing with us all aling! The memories made those two days on the boats will be with our friend group for a lifetime. Best days ever. And huge kudos and limitless thanks to Brian and Mirella for their hospitality and sharing their island network with us. These days were a high four-figure incremental expense (inclusive of tips, etc.), but worth every single penny! FOOD/BREAKFAST: Upon checking in, you’re asked to complete a breakfast questionnaire where each person gets to pick from American Breakfast, Dominican Breakfast, Lite Breakfast and/or Continental Breakfast. We picked a few of each, and each morning at 9AM a chef arrived at our villa to cook an in-kitchen FRESH breakfast for our group (inclusive of freshly squeezed juice!) and ready right before 10AM. It’s served family-style, so you get a taste of everything if you choose right! We had the same chef each morning and grew super fond of him throughout our stay. The daily breakfast was my favorite part of the day — including the fresh flowers that the table is set with! If you need/want to change your time slot (8AM, 9AM or 10AM) or change your order throughout the stay, you just stop by the Real Estate front desk and make the alterations! Simple as that. (We tipped our chef $10 per day.) Some mornings while breakfast was being made, we went to Vienna Cafe (<10 minute walk from villa; 2 minute golf cart ride) for espressos and iced coffees. A great way to start the day! FOOD/LUNCH: When at the resort, we spent every day at either Deja View or NV beach. Both of these beaches are only available to those with VIP Black Bracelets, which Brian’s stay provides. The staff and attendance are just fantastic! We rotated between a few lunch favorites at the two neighboring beaches: spicy falafel salad, falafel wrap, cheeseburger, shrimp tacos, grilled cheese, cheese pizza, and their AMAZING crispy french fries. Our drinks of choice were champagne, mojitos and, of course, the traditional vacation strawberry daiquiri! We tipped $1-$5 per order to the staff, and were always taken care of quickly and kindly. FOOD/DINNER: The food at the resort and at the villa was phenomenal. When we arrived at check-in, we were greeted by a list of reservations that Brian had already made on our behalf. We dined at VIP Simply Gourmet (would recommend the arugula salad with blue cheese and candied walnuts), Moomtaz (“creative ethnic cuisine; BEST desserts at the resort — order the caramelized peanuts with chocolate ice cream and not the vanilla

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The host was very kind and sweet, she was always attentive to us. The villa was completely clean, and she made sure we had everything we needed. He also gave us great tour recommendations and welcomed us with a small gift, which was a beautiful detail. She was one of the best hosts touched on me, and I highly recommend this place. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

My family and I enjoyed the beautiful house and the private pool very much. The house looks exactly like the photos. I highly recommend booking this Airbnb you won't be disappointed. The host and the staff were extremely friendly, helpful and attentive to our needs. I'm looking forward to booking this Airbnb again in the future.

Very friendly always and your attention of 10, I appreciate the kindnesses provided and it is 100% recommended

perfect spot to be in the place is next to everything you want to do in sosua.

This is a nice place to stay at, the host was very nice and helpful. We loved everything about the place it's very relaxing and quiet and it's walking distance from the activities on cabarete. I deff recommend

Alex is the best host i’ve ever had. He picked me up from the airport and made sure I had everything I needed. he assisted with any questions and suggestions I needed. He is a fantastic host and a great friend. The condo is walking distance to all the action. Twelve minute walk to each of the main beaches. The condo has a restaurant and bar on premises. Restaurants and bars all around. The condo has everything you need. It is well insulated so you don’t hear much of the street noise. Place is guest friendly and the pool is nice. When you book this place, you have a friend in the DR because Alex has your back. Highly recommend, thanks for everything Alex!

The place was just how it was described. DEFINITELY worth the VIP access, which paid for itself. Without it you can not enjoy the hookah bar, sports bar or the more secluded beaches. The VIP access made this a romantic getaway.

Nanny Estates is a peaceful gem — central yet calm, safe, spotless, and full of charm. We felt at home right away, especially with our 16-year-old nephew on his first trip with his favourite aunt and uncle 😄. He caught the kitesurfing bug thanks to Kite Land — thank you Emmanuel & team! 🌊🪁 His joy was unforgettable — even dreamt about it that night. The location is ideal: steps to Kite Beach and a scenic walk to Cabarete’s restaurants (loved Pomodoro & Drifters 🍝🍹). Andreas’ unit is cozy, with a rooftop that’s pure vacation zen. Ultraviolet Bar became our go-to for Presidente beers, good eats, and people-watching 🌴🍻. Even our first-time travellers felt totally relaxed and welcome. Big thanks to the kind, hardworking onsite crew — you made it special. ¡Mil gracias! We'll be back. ❤️

I enjoyed my stay once again thanks for your hospitality !

Cedric is very professional. He communicated with me anytime I needed him and it was alot. I was bugging him and asking alot of questions. He was very cool and patient with me. The place was very nice just like he said. Everyone should work with him. It was a great experience

This was such a pleasant stay! Check-in was smooth and easy. Marina was absolutely wonderful, very responsive, and easy to talk to. The location is great and close to amenities. Rooms are very modern and clean, and staff is excellent. Will stay here again in the future.

Everything about this place is great, the hosts are very responsive and staff friendly and helpful. Location is absolutely perfect and the property beautiful. A huge plus for me is that there are practically no hostels in this area and as a solo traveler, hostels are one of the best ways for me to meet new people, this place is like a hostel but with private rooms! I am very happy I ended up here and not another air bnb with no other guests!

Excellent service. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy peace and quiet with their family

My parents had a lovely time and they really felt the most comfortable they have ever felt at any accomodation! Hope to visit myself in the future, Thank you!

We had a great stay here, the location was perfect, in a beautiful historical building close to town but very quiet. The hosts were the nicest, and most welcoming people that I have ever met on AirBnB. They made freshly cooked breakfast every morning and were very helpful with telling us things to do, about the city, and they even drove us to the bus station the last day and packed us food to go.

the place is clean and the host is very nice they offer good breakfast home made we will visit soon again

Amazing stay! Highly recommend!

Massimo and Luce are great hosts the place is so peaceful in a beautiful neighborhood far from the noise but at ten min walk to all the restaurants and beaches of Sosua . Massimo and Luce gave us great recommendations of what to do they even organize the best excursions upon request the view of our terrace is amazing I highly recommend their place . Thank you ))
