Villa Jerome was amazing. The views from this property are spectacular. Perfect picture for a travel magazine. ;-) For months we looked forward to this vacation and it did not disappoint. Our main contact for the property was Edoardo. We requested the chef option and for groceries to be purchased before our arrival. He was very helpful in arranging this and also the transfer from the airport in Santo Domingo. The maid, Carmen, is very friendly and looks out for the guests. It felt like she went way beyond her maid duties to provide us full service. I was usually up before everyone so I got to enjoy conversations with Carmen as she prepared our breakfast. Her meals were delicious. You can also hire her to cook lunch or dinner. The house itself is beautiful. Great space for everyone to hang out together. Having 2 pools was definitely a selling point. I had the master bedroom upstairs with its own pool but we ended up using both pools as a group. Each room has its own bathroom and has access to the same gorgeous view. It’s a short walk to Playa Las Ballenas (7-10min). The main strip of town is probably too far to walk if you want to get there fast, so you may need to take a cab or drive. However, if you take a stroll on the beach and gradually make your way there, it’s not too bad. I could go on and on about Las Terrenas and the surrounding towns but I’ll finish up with a few things about the house. There’s air conditioning(costs extra but very inexpensive). There’s a washer, dryer, and iron. Each room has a hair dryer. There are towels for the pool/beach and of course bath towels. 24 hour security makes you feel safe. The guards are not just at the gate but they also patrol the streets of Bonita Village. It’s like living in a private hotel, with views that you see in commercials for travel. We recommend this house. Be nice to everyone that is there to make your stay enjoyable. They work hard so compensate them well. Ps. Download the “Komida” app. You can order food, liquor, and other products delivered to the house from local restaurants, liquor stores, supermarket and ice cream shops. It was a life saver.
