nice stay in this beautiful villa. Paul is a very friendly person who has been to our care .. visit very appreciated of the surroundings with the beaches and restaurants, bars not to be missed.
a very good place that we recommend đđđ
Imagine a stunning, incredibly comfortable, well thought out private home in the jungle, with a expansive viewing deck overlooking your own personal wildlife sanctuary...front row seats to occasional visits from howler and white face monkeys, daily visits from iguanas, fly-bys from beautiful paired macaws, not to mention a plethora of insects that may cause your heart to stop briefly until you just realize "don't touch it", and marvel at their size! Now, imagine looking just past all of this and seeing the massive ocean expanse with crashing waves that literally vibrate you to sleep at night as they hit the shore below. Imagine your mornings swinging in a hammock with a smooth Costa Rican coffee blend listening to the jungle waking up(well, it really never sleeps but it has volumes and varieties!); days/evenings spent lounging in the luxurious spa and pool, tempered to account for the hot, humid days or if it's cooler, sitting around the firetable. Not sure what more could be added to the multitude of amazing reviews that accurately sum up the bliss that we enjoyed for 2 weeks at Paul's "resort"! Our first week we barely even left the house, and we are adventure people! All past reviews are so accurate and helpful in terms of house layout and ammenities. Paul and Alejandro were amazing communicating! Do yourself a favor, stop searching other homes and book this one!! We've booked many rental homes over the years and this one is, by far, our favorite!
Our group of seven stayed here. What amazing views! Great location perfectly centered between Domincalito where we surfed daily and Dominical where we would eat and shop. Couldnât get enough of all the animals on the property. We named a few, stubs the iguana that was missing her tale would visit daily. Will definitely be coming back!
The organization by the management team was far beyond anything i have ever experienced with VRBO. I say team, because it is run by the owner, and a real estate company/group. The team functioned better than a high end hotel with, essentially, a concierge and all around sweet, hard working person in Alejandro. Ale' basically facilitated the whole trip and provided that critical local knowledge that can make or break your day when traveling to an unfamiliar area. They also have a shuttle service from the airport, it does cost extra, but was a big help. We traveled with 4 children, and the whole trip was hands down one of the best I have ever experienced. The home itself is luxurious and located just a short drive from any local excursions you may want. The photos online do not do the home, it's lush surroundings, or view/sunsets any justice. If I could give the home, and the assistance we had, and the trip more than 5 stars, I would. Thanks to Paul, Alejandro, Katya, and the rest of the team for assisting with an amazing trip.
I canât say enough about how great the property was and how Alejandro took great care of us the whole trip. If you are looking to visit Dominical this the place to stay.
The House and Property were perfect for our family and friends, the house and the grounds were clean, comfortable and well maintained. Paul and Alejandro did an exceptional job of communicating and answering any questions we had quickly and accurately. We highly recommend this beautiful property for anyone staying in Dominical. It is beautiful house!
We had an incredible holiday at Paulâs Villa. The views are magical, the wildlife is on your doorstep, and the villa is well-equipped and beautifully maintained. I highly recommend this property. The town of Dominical is a short car ride (or walk on the beach) and has 2 great supermarkets, a pharmacy, and lots of restaurants. Everything you need. Itâs the nicest town along this stretch of the Pacific. Much nicer than Quepos, Jaco or Uvita. We look forward to coming back. Paul and Alejandro were hands on and very helpful throughout our stay. Thank you!
Exceeded ALL our expectations and more! This property was perfect for ourselves and 3 grown children and their spouses with 4 bedrooms.. all with king beds and en-suites so no one felt like got a lesser room and two extra half baths in good locations. Beautiful pool area with overview of the oceanâ hearing waves at night was so magical.Alejandro gave us several great recommendations such as chef Rosbin who came three days, massages that came to the house. Activities such as paragliding which was definitely a hi light. It was a great week of family time and the house is set up so comfortably and evening activities with a pool table and foosball were used. We hope to return sooner rather than later.
Beautiful house with an amazing view! The photos do not do this house justice . We were a group of 4 couples and had plenty of space to lounge & relax. The bedrooms suites all have super comfortable beds. Our group is all from AZ & we struggled with the humidity of Costa Rica. The bedrooms all had wonderful Air conditioning units in them but kitchen/living room did not have air which would have been an added bonus. Paul & Aleandro went above & beyond to make sure that we all had a great time and were always there to help or give us suggestions. We used Chef Roy & enjoyed 5 beautiful evenings at home. The pool was a refreshing after a day of tours & exploring & the pool table & outside areas provided hours of relaxation. The house does sits above one of the main roads & the Jake brakes from the trucks are loud. We are already missing the friendly people & beautiful views. Thanks again to Aleandro & Paul!
The house is in a great location, was very clean and close to the pictures. Very happy with the stay. all the bedrooms were great, a very nice kitchen and views at sunset cant be beat. Alejandro greeted us and showed us around the town which was supper helpful. highly recommend
Fantastic stay at stunning property. Loved the genuinely incredible views and design. Modern comfortable furnishings. Plenty of space so each couple could have some private time and groups of 4 to 10 could gather as well. Great grill and new fridge. 20 year old house showing some need for maintenance though with hottub tripping breaker on first night, leak in roof above 2nd floor bedroom, ac failing in downstairs bedroom another night and broken microwave after first two days. Alejandro did all he could to insure a great stay including arranging rafting and zip lining and an incredible meal w chef roger. Welcome basket of fruit and wine a wonderful touch. mic microwave. Alejandro did a great job
We enjoyed a stay here with 9 of us, 5 adult/kids (age 15-22), and 4 parent/adults. The house is as beautiful as advertised in the pictures. Each bedroom is essentially a master suite. The kitchen was very nice, with everything you'd need to cook meals and more. We very much enjoyed playing pool outdoors but under the overhang in the evenings when it would rain sometimes through the week. The beds had very comfortable mattresses and pillows. Last but not least, Alejandro the concierge made sure everything was taken care of, from a tour of the house and city when we arrived, to helping book tours (all of which were excellent), to making dinner reservations for us. 11/10 service from him :). You should be aware that the (0.15 mile) driveway is very steep but it is paved. If you walk up you'll have some sweat on your forehead when you reach the top but that's perfect because you can go straight into the pool and it's quite refreshing!
Dominical is a very laid back, quiet town, but with enough bars/restaurants and small shops to keep our "kids" busy. You can walk to essentially your own private beach (it's not really private, but we literally had it to ourselves every time we went) in about 10-12 minutes. You do have to walk for a short stretch (I'd guess about 150-200 yards) on a fairly busy road to get there, but it wasn't too bad. Another 20 minutes walking on the beach and you're downtown Dominical. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this house to others.
This villa is in a great location very close to Dominical and right off of the main highway. Definitely recommend a 4X4 because though short the drive to the villa is steep and has a sharp right turn to get into garage/s. We were a family of 9 and it was perfect for us. Alejandro was always available if needed.
I took my mother and my two adult daughters and their significant others with my husband on a wonderful family vacation. The house is well equipped, and each bedroom has a fantastic view of the ocean and an en suite. We enjoyed hanging out together, Paul and Alejandro, weâre happy to help with anything we needed. We are already looking to book again this time maybe with a group of friends. Walk to the beach is quite steep so you need to take that into consideration. Overall, we had a wonderful stay, and I highly recommend!
The title says it all, absolutely amazing stay. The hosts are fantastic and go above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had the best vacation possible. We will definitely be back.
We called this beautiful house home while attending Envision Festival. The property is beautiful, the management was amazing, loved having housekeeping every other day, short walk to a private beach, perfectly located. Just stunning!!!!
We will be booking the house next year as well and so looking forward to it!! đ
The house was perfect for 4 couples, all 4 rooms were fabulous with views of the beach. The chefs were great and created tasty meals for our mix of vegetarians and omnivores.
The road to the house is steep and you definitely need a 4 wheel drive.
Alejandro was very responsive and was always able to make dinner reservations and liaise with trip organisers.
Our only complaint was that check in wasnt until after 5 - weâd landed in San Jose at 7am after an overnight flight. I understand that the house had to be cleaned etc after the previous guests checked out but 5 seemed unusually late for check in.
Between Paul and Alejandro, all our questions and needs were met promptly and efficiently. All four couples had very comfortable beds and of course, the VIEW!
Better than advertised. Very clean with attention to all details. Gave us a driving tour of all the best restaurants and attractions. Best service of any home our group has stayed. The sound of the oceans waves were the best.
