Villa Review
Main living/Dining room needs an AC option. Orhers have recommended this. The open space is great but it can get very humid and hot there making it uncomfortable to sit and have dinner at the table. The villa was nice and clean. The rooms had plenty of space but my guest in the lower rooms had to use the bathroom upstairs because their toilets would not flush properly. The chef was really pleasant and on time. Very nice guy who would do anything for you. Only issue here is, you have to open the door for him to come in. So if you had a late night out and wanted to sleep in but still wanted breakfast ready , you would have to wake up early and open the door for him. After he's done , you would have to pay for the purchased goods and sign a voucher etc.... Overall, this was our first villa experience with chef and cleaning included. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay and would do it again. All the things noted are just suggestions and small nuances that can be easily ignored and will not get in the way of anyone enjoying themselves.

This is our second time booking this duplex. Location n unit are excellent! Owner very responsive when booking. There was a double booking situation on days I added. Owner upgraded us to much bigger house beach/ocean front. Excellent for 10 plus people. While amazing we prefer our duplex for family of 4. Lady years concierge was mi h better. More responsive n faster response. More attention to detail. More thorough n helpful. Person on premises at our intended duplex Jendry was great.

Wonderful relaxing stay
We had a wonderful week at Las Terrenas. The beach is incredibly beautiful and only a 2 min walk from apartment past the big pool. We loved the serenity of the place, no big hotels, a few beach shacks to get good lunch, otherwise a lot of nature and not a lot of tourists. Everyone was friendly, helpful and attentive. Dany the chef made us breakfast every day and dinner twice - highly recommend him. The only thing to note is that there is no supermarket close by but they help you stack the fridge or there is a delivery app that serves the apartment as well. All very easy and quick. Very happy with our choice and just how naturally beautiful this place is. We had a great trip and so did our three kids (ages 3-10). Waves were perfect for them and not too strong. Highly recommend this place

The best
My family and I do a lot of traveling and love seeing new places. Normally, I’ll never go to the same place twice…but I am already making plans to come back here! The place is stunning. The pictures really don’t do it justice! The beds are very comfortable and there are plenty of pillows. The balcony and pool are perfect for those moments when you want to enjoy the gorgeous weather but also want to relax at home. The property manager is very friendly, flexible, and helpful. The beach is actually less than 5 minutes away and is gorgeous. Though the town is a bit too far to walk to, we found that we really preferred to stay close. You really don’t need to rent bikes (the bike store is overpriced anyway!) There are little restaurants right next to the beach with fresh, delicious food for lunch. Our favorite was the colorful little one with chickens out front. Speaking of food, the best part of this place is definitely the chef! He is so talented. He made us some of the best food we’ve ever had like, ever! A little advice- bring plenty of sunblock and cash unless you want to hitch a ride on a motorcycle to town everytime you need more. We can’t wait to get back here as soon as possible. Enjoy!

Holidays vacation
This was my second time staying at Villa Ribera Mar. The first time I stayed everything was great. The Villa is beautiful it has a gorgeous view of playa Las Ballenas. The Villa was spotless. Our contact person Maria, was great, very efficient very pleasant and always available and prompt to answer any questions or solve any issues in regards to the Villa. This time I was very disappointed with the service management provided. My contact person Fabiola took forever to answer every time I try to contact her. In two separate occasions, she was off and didn’t bother to let me know that there will be someone else in charge or to give me the contact information for the person.. the first time I try to call her to find out why the cleaning service had not show up, she must’ve thought I was stupid or that I did not read my renting contract. I knew I was supposed to get a cleaning service every day and she try to tell me that guesses really didn’t like to have Cleaning Service every day, who wouldn’t want cleaning service every day. I made it clear to her that I wanted Cleaning Service every day and that , that was what I had pay for and that’s what they advertised . The second time I try to contact her about Cleaning Service not coming that day which was Christmas day. She use the same excuse that it was her day off Christmas day. The Villa was a complete disaster. They were no garbage bags the garbage can was overflowing with garbage from the day before the sink with full of dirty dishes because there was no dish soap there were no clean towels, and Fabiola was no where to be found. When I finally got a hold of her I was furious. I hope my review helps for this issues with management be solved. In a more positive note, Chef Danny was great..

Thanksgiving Week at Villa Ribera Mar
This nice and clean property awaited our small family of three for Thanksgiving week in the Dominican Republic. Even though our Spanish speaking skills are terrible, we had no problem communicating with the residence personnel. All of them are very helpful. We enjoyed the spacious and tastefully decorated interior, the view and easy access to the beach. The beachfront road between Las Terrenas and the villa has many restaurants and bars. During our stay we explored the surroundings a bit including a hike to Salto El Limón and scuba diving. All in all it was a great way of spending Thanksgiving under the sun.

AMAZING
The property left me speechless as expected because I stayed in another one of Lourdes' units in 2019. Everyone on the staff was amazing from Maria, to Guritio, our amazing chef and the rest of the crew. There is one thing to note, there isn't any air conditioner in the common areas. Only the bedrooms. There also isn't any are in the office. I would have rather much stood outside vs sitting in the office discussing things with Maria. I would advise the property manager to add air units in both locations as we were not able to enjoy the sitting area and mingle with each other.

Nice Villa
The Villa is nice…. It’s relaxing. It’s a very quite place. It was my mom, myself and husband and my 2 kids (6 & 9). My kids enjoyed the pool. Be mindful that when playing music even though it may not be loud it echos and people are sensitive. The chef was very polite and professional. The concierge was ok. A few things I may say: The TV in the living room was not working. One of the bedroom on the lower level sliding door didn’t lock. The AC on both bedroom lower bedroom didn’t cool. Maybe a welcome packet of location and supermarket would be helpful. The wifi worked except the day of check out.

High expectations met!
Ribera Mar Villa B2 was an outstanding condo. Had very high expectations for the apartment because of the pictures and description. I am happy to say expectations were at a minimum met and in some cases exceeded expectations. The cleanliness was perfect. The communications perfect. Oscar went above and beyond taking care of anything we needed. Chef Danny exceeded expectations-daughters and I do not have huge appetites so we didn’t call on him as often as we would have liked. His cooking is wonderful. The beach nearby was perfect. I would Recommend renting a four wheeler at least a day or two to get around some. Lots of great restaurants within one mile. Only drawback is if you have noisy neighbors ...but that is nothing to do with the condo itself! I would highly recommend this condo!

Amazing time!
Our mini vacation in Las Terrenas was amazing. We rented one of the duplex and the pictures are exactly what you will find. The housekeeping staff do a nice job with cleaning the apartment, making the beds and they also give you fresh towels for the beach and in the bathroom everyday. The pool was clean same as the jacuzzi and the temperature for the jacuzzi was right ( we only needed to turn the heat on). We ate breakfast at the apartment everyday Chef Danny and his assistant Lenny were both very responsible ob how they handle the food and with serving us what we asked for. Oscar our concierge and Emma the property manager answered all of our questions since before we arrived to the property and they were always available. We needed a taxi service and they recommended Guirito he was very attentive. If you need to go to a supermarket Pola supermarket was a good option with lots of varieties. If you are planning on renting ATV’s go to Christopher his business is the first one that you see on the right side when you are walking from the apt to the beach. They do tours as well. They will give you a good deal with good inventory. Plan ongoing to Pueblo Los Pescadores and eat at Las Terrazas, cute restaurant ( decorated white and turquoise) the service and the food was very good. We never felt unsafe in the apartment or around Las Terrenas. For a nice massage at the beach ask for Carmen. Before leaving the property we spoke to our concierge and mentioned (and we also did our first night) him a few things the a/c units inside the two rooms downstairs weren’t working properly. The gym needs an upgrade and air conditioning. We truly enjoyed the property! If you are planning in visiting Las Terrenas this property is a good option. Closed to a beautiful beach and with many amenities. People in Las Terrenas are very friendly and helpful.

Perfect property!
We visited Las Terrenas during a couples trip to Dominican Republic and couldn't have selected a better place to stay. The villa is very neat and clean and the staff takes very good care of guests. Everything we requested was in place when we arrived. Chef Danny is absolutely awesome! We thoroughly enjoyed each meal prepared. The beach is a very short walk as well as a few restaurants. There are more restaurants, clubs and stores a bit further down the road, if you don't want to walk there are cars, golf carts and ATVs available for rent. The staff takes the hassle out of just about everything! Although our children did not join us for this trip, this property is well suited for families. The area is very safe and the people very friendly. We are already planning a return to Dominican Republic, this time with children and Ribera Mar is first on our list for a place to stay!! Thanks so much!!

Great place, great beaches
We very much enjoyed our stay. We loved the chef every morning and used him twice for dinners. We had some trouble figuring out how to heat the jacuzzi, so make sure they explain this in detail on the walk through. The wifi worked fine. They were great at helping to arrange excursions. We loved the horseback ride to the Limon waterfall. The beach was just across the street and there is a very close place to rent kayaks, SUPs, and small sailing vessels for an hour or a day. There is no night life. Everything at this end shuts down super early, so if you want more action, stay closer to town center. I used paypal to reimburse the bigger grocery deliveries, taxi transfer from airport and the tours. I reimbursed the chef each day with pesos for his purchases for breakfast and our two dinners. You can use either cash or pesos locally, but some of the smaller spots prefer pesos. If you have a car rental, I do recommend you go to the grocery yourself.

A comfortable villa, ideally located, supported by staff making the stay relaxing and enjoyable.
Our family of six stayed at the villa for one week over the New Year's holiday. The villa was in an ideal location, steps away from the beach which was never crowded. We spent most of our days at the beach and common pool, though we took one excursion and spent a half day at Coson Beach. Overall, our most enjoyable and relaxing days were spent close to the villa. The villa itself was spacious. The bedrooms were comfortable and private. The common areas were open and inviting. There was plenty of room for everyone to be together (e.g. in the jacuzzi, living room or outdoor areas), or enjoy some quiet time reading. We took full advantage of the chef (Danny) whose services preparing breakfasts are included in the price. We also hired Chef Danny at $35/night to prepare five of our seven dinners. The meals he and his assistant prepared were excellent and the value and convenience unbeatable. The villa was cleaned daily which kept everything clean and organized. And we communicated with the concierge, Stephanie, daily. Stephanie was available at nearly every hour, day or night, and arranged transportation, made helpful suggestions and assisted us in recovering lost luggage. As English is not prevalent, Stephanie helped to bridge the gap. Topping everything off, the weather was excellent throughout our stay. We would visit Ribera Mar again!
