Villa holiday rentals in Villa Riva

Had the pleasure of staying at Arnaud’s beautiful home and it was an unforgettable experience. The property itself was stunning and served as ideal for bonding with my friends I hadn’t seen in a long time. Despite being in a quiet area, it was just a short distance from everything we needed. Arnaud was exceptional – responsive, kind, and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our stay. His hospitality truly made a difference and added to the overall experience. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with easy access to all the amenities of Las Terrenas.

Our stay at Villa Retiro was nothing short of magnificent. The house is as special and beautiful as Las Terrenas itself. The location was absolutely perfect for the relaxing vacation we intended. We visited a lot of beaches and our favorite was the one closest to the Villa. The community is safe and serene with security monitoring the area throughout the day. The house was spotless and with an additional fee, the housekeeper Securinda was there daily to cook us incredible meals. I would highly recommend paying for Securina's delicious cooking because there are few walkable restaurants. However there's also a super simple food delivery app and we rented an ATV which is a must to get to beaches or restaurants that are slightly further. It's also important to note how incredible the hosts were. Sabrina's response time was almost immediate and she went above and beyond with sharing recommendations, tips, etc. She spoiled us! We can't wait to come back to the hidden gem of Las Terrenas!

Unforgettable! It’s the description for this experience for me and my family. So far, my most interesting stay. We already considered going again, only next time will be a 4x4 vehicle or high SUV. Arriel H, Ariel D were great hosts. And special thanks to Cleu, she is a multi talented individual who can help you with cooking and any other chores for a small fee. It’s convenient. Definately going back!

My family and I really enjoy the stay, Fausto made it all so worth it. Such a nice guy always willing to help if we needed something he was there in minutes. The house was spotless and the view was beautiful

Amazing stay at Villa Essence. Loved the location. Literally located at the best beach. The ambiance of the place is amazing. I would definitely recommend.

Very nice accommodation, excellent service from Luis, everything impeccable, cozy atmosphere, very quiet and peaceful environment, I recommend it 100% to anyone who wants to disconnect and share with family.

Alessandro’s place was amazing. The home looks better than the pictures and the pictures were already breathtaking. My family loved the pool but especially the private beach that was just steps away from the house. Definitely coming back to this place when I come back to Samaná.

Amazing location, very attentive host, beautiful house! highly recommend and would return anytime!

We had an amazing family vacation. Thank you!

The pictures do not do the place justice! We had a large group of 12 adults staying and we all enjoyed every bit of the airbnb! Leo and Francini (the property manager) helped make our experience a 5-star experience. They were able to connect us to an incredible chef, a fantastic tour operator, and lovely housekeepers who not only made it easy for us to enjoy our time but helped customize our trip to fit in all the excursions we wanted and the staggered arrivals. Highly recommend if you're looking to explore Las Terrenas or relax on the property or the beach!

Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The place looked exactly like the pictures. We called to see if the refrigerator made ice they said no but they were quick to offer us a couple of bags of ice which saved us a hassle since we had a lot of people and not very much space in our vehicle. We had a pleasant time they offered us coconuts right from their trees which was amazing, our entire family loved the villa. Any time we needed anything Jose was right there ready to help us. We’ll definitely recommend.

Thank you for having us! Thank you for being responsive and a great host. Loved your place and will recommend anyone to stay.

We were a group of 8. This was by far the most wonderful vacation we have had. We will definitely return later this year for another time of recreation in the truest sense of the word.

Just wow! Betty was an amazing host. She answered questions before I thought of them. The staff, Yenni and Yaison, were just awesome individuals and helpful at any and every turn. Betty offers a personal chef and our only regret is that we only utilized him and his sous chef for two full days. I highly recommend hiring the chef for your whole stay. He and his sous chef made some of the most delicious food for us (lobster, mahi mahi, chicken, avocado salads, and so much more). The cost is very reasonable as well. Regarding the place, I can’t put into words how perfect it is. The house is big, beautiful, clean and just flat out amazing. The pool is great, the numerous loungers to relax and get sun, the private beach bar, the large outdoor table and then there’s the beach! Crystal clear water, several sandbars to relax on and a next door beach where lots of great folks gather for fun and music. I really can’t put into words how amazing our trip was. Thank you so much everyone!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning villa, and it exceeded all my expectations. Here’s why I highly recommend it: 1. Prime Location: The villa is perfectly situated in a serene yet accessible area, making it ideal for relaxation while still being close to major attractions. Whether you’re looking to explore the surroundings or unwind, the location is just right. 2. Modern Design and High Standards: The villa’s design is a masterpiece of modern elegance. Every corner reflects thoughtfulness and style, with a perfect balance of luxury and comfort. The amenities provided were of the highest quality, enhancing the overall experience. 3. Exceptional Hospitality: The host and staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. From prompt responses to personalized touches, their warmth and professionalism were truly remarkable. 4. Delicious Food: The meals served were nothing short of spectacular. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully pres

Amazing experience. House was gorgeous, had a great time with the family. Everyone enjoyed their stay

Stayed with my family (a total of 8) everyone enjoyed the house, the 2 hammocks by the pool were definitely our favorite, the home is close to the beach and dining. The home is just as described and as beautiful as the pictures posted. The host even helped us rent a quad and a motorcycle, they brought it right to the house and picked it up when we were done, the price for the rental was even better than other locations we looked at. The area felt very save and was always quite perfect for a family stay, would definitely come back.

We loved this home! Olimpia was super helpful accommodating our early arrival and provided several local recommendations. The home was very clean and extremely close to the beach. 10/10 experience would recommend

A stunning home nestled in the mountains of Bonao. I can still hear the river, such a relaxing sound you can feel throughout the house. The staff was excellent and our host Steffany was exceptional. Highly recommend this property. Ideal setup to receive families, reunions and gatherings. A peaceful stay we will treasure for many reasons.

This place was in a perfect spot not to far from anything. House was just like pictures but even better when in person ! A lot of my close family members saw the villa and were highly impressed and now interested in renting for future visits. Thank you Walter !

We recently stayed at this beautiful villa with our Family. We have 3 kids (12,10 &4) and this place was the perfect vacation spot. Loved the fact we could walk to the beach. We also booked the Chef and the service and food was espectacular. Virgine was extremely responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Plays Bonita is one of the best beaches I’ve been too. No need to worry about sargassum as other parts of the country. Highly recommend booking this villa!

I think I found the perfect place to rest and feel at home. The place is very comfortable starting with the beds, a spacious kitchen, everything clean, good attentions from the owner and his collaborators , my family and I agree it was the best experience. Recommended to 100

great place located perfectly close to the a few beaches close to the river horseback riding 4 wheelers I loved this place and would for sure get it again

Excellent place and wonderful hosts. Beautiful Villa, with impeccable attention. Good Value for money. Sure we will return, God through. I recommend it 100 x 100!!
