Awesome property! Stunning views, pools, beach. You won't be disappointed!
My wife and I just finished having a fantastic time at Marbella thanks to Karina and Carlos @ Marbella Vacation Rentals! We rented two units because we invited family so we’re posting this same review under both units. BTW, the photos are accurate and the units are more breathtaking in person. The views are awesome! First… since being under COVID in the US for months, we were dying to get back to the DR. We wanted to also visit family in Santo Domingo (SD) so chose Juan Dolio which is the closest nice beach to SD. For those who may be looking at Juan Dolio for the first time, it doesn’t get nicer than Marbella. They are private residences in a beautiful complex – 2 huge (and I do mean HUGE) pools, a children’s play set and a beautiful beach. If you have kids you’re covered from little ones to teenagers. Great food right on premise and the complex has 24x7 visible security to put you at ease. The complex and individual units are modern and full of light and each features a large balcony overlooking the ocean. There is no “bad unit” or less than great view (e.g. there’s no such thing as a “garden view” or “partial sea view” etc. Every unit faces the ocean!) If you’ve rented a car, you can easily drive from Marbella to Santo Domingo for shopping, sightseeing, tours etc. Staying at Marbella give you many options.
We’ve rented from Carlos and Karina (Marbella Vacation Rentals) in the past. Since each unit is individually owned, if you need more than one unit as we do, I prefer to work with someone who can coordinate more than one unit so I have one point of contact. They seem to manage the largest selection of units at Marbella so I never have to worry about getting the type of unit I need for the dates I need it. Also, I don’t speak Spanish so really need someone who is fully fluent in English but is local in case we need something.
Again, I can’t say how fantastic a time we had at Marbella in the two units we rented. The complex is awesome, the units were modern and sparkling clean and the Karina and Carlos took care of all the needs on the ground so we just had to show up and enjoy! Time to say “goodbye" to COVID!
