As soon as we stepped into the home we were in awe. The classic Caribbean architecture coupled with the eclectic furnishings from around the world set the tone for our vacation. The house was filled with large vases of clear water adorned with greenery cut from the property bringing the lush outdoors into the home. We enjoyed the outside spaces, talking and taking in the night breeze that was perfumed by jasmine growing off the second floor veranda and woke to fresh brewed coffee served outside in the mornings. Ive, the chef prepared all of the classic Dominican dishes we do not get to have often, like Mangu and Chofan for breakfast always served with cut fruit and vegetables. Emma, decorated our table everyday with fresh cut flowers from the garden, created different tablescape using different sets of dishes and chargers, glasses you name it she made every meal so special with her attention to detail. Claudia, the most helpful host helped arrange everything we needed, such as golf cart rental, transport back to the airport, but best of all helped me get a last minute, authentic Dominican birthday cake, delivered to the house. The cake was the best Dominican cake I have ever tasted btw. Claudia was attentive to all questions and responded quicky.
So much love, attention and detail is put into this home. I feel lucky to have stayed in a such a place and that it is shared with the rest of us who need an oasis from our everyday lives. We will return soon.
