Villa Belvedere; Play Pool at The Beach!, Sleeps 8. Chef Available

POOL TABLE AND SHARED BEACH PAVILLION

Villa Belvedere is the newest addition to a collection of 3 beautiful beach villas located in Villas Paraiso, Cabarete, Dominican Republic. These villas are owned, managed and maintained by the same owner who is a retired Civil Engineer from Pennsylvania.

WHEN DECIDING ON WHICH VILLA TO RENT, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE VILLA HAS A DIESEL GENERATOR BACK UP POWER AND AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH. THIS VILLA DOES.
IT IS A SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE TO INSTALL A 20 KW DIESEL GENERATOR AND MAINTAIN IT IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION, SO, MANY VILLAS RELY ONLY UPON BATTERIES AND INVERTERS OR LITTLE PORTABLE GENERATORS THAT DIE AFTER AN HOUR RUNNING AND CAN NOT RUN THE AIR CONDITIONING. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT THE BATTERIES DISCHARGE AFTER AN HOUR OR SO AND YOU ARE LEFT WITHOUT LIGHTS OR AIR CONDITIONING.
IT IS VERY COMMON TO HAVE POWER OUTAGES IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. IT'S BEST TO BE SURE AND STAY IN A VILLA WITH A DIESEL GENERATOR.

Villa Belvedere has recently undergone a major renovation, including, new plumbing, electrical, air conditioning in all bedrooms, painting, roofing, landscaping, structural expansions, carpentry repairs and new ceiling fans.

As a special offer, Villa Belvedere is being offered at very attractive introductory rates well below the neighboring villas; Villa Leone, Villa Flamingo. And Villa Sirena. These rates are being offered for a limited time to familiarize prospective and returning guests with all the features that Villa Belvedere offers at a very reasonable rate.

Enjoy breathtaking ocean views from your private Belvedere located above and next to the private plunge pool with steps leading right into the pool.

Villa Belvedere is the villa right next to Villa Flamingo and is a one back from OCEANFRONT vacation residence in Cabarete, Domincan Republic, with its own private pool. Villa Belvedere is a more affordable version of Villa Leone and Villa Flamingo for those who want the same fantastic location but are willing to be one villa back from oceanfront.

Villa Belvedere is a privately owned vacaion villa located in the small surfing town of Cabarete located on th north shore of the lovely island known as the Dominican Repubic. A short 30 minute drive from the modern Puerto Plata Interntional Airport.

Villa Belvedere is situated on a stunning expanse of beach just 3km from the center of Cabarete in close proximity to fine dining, shopping and nightlife.

Although located one back from the ocean, the amazing view from the spacious 2nd floor rear balcony is a beautiful unobstructed view of the beach, waves and mountains in the distance; hence inspiring the name of Villa Belvedere. In Italian, Belvedere is a vantage point or structure from which to enjoy a beautiful scenic view.

Villa Belvedere offers comfortable accommodations for up to 6 with 2 king bedrooms, 1 queen bedroom.

The 2 king bedrooms and queen bedroom have their own ensuite bathrooms and are located on the 2nd floor.

Villa Belvedere bedrooms are air conditioned and It does have a fan in every room. The living room, dining room and kitchen are not air on conditioned. All bedrooms are air conditioned

Villa Belvedere offers everything that you can imagine in an oceanfront complex vacation villa. We are sure that you will enjoy your beach experience with us at Villa Belvedere.

Villa Leone; a similar 5 bedroom beachfront Villa, is located next door and can accommodate an additional 10 guests.

Villa Flamingo; a similar 4 bedroom beachfront villa, is also located next door and can accommodate an additional 8 guests.

Villa Sirena; a similar 4 bedroom villa next door to Villa Belvedere, can accommodate an additional 8 guests.

If all 4 villas are rented together, they can comfortably accommodate 32 in beds.

RECOMENDATIONS FOR ACTIVITIES AND TOURS:

DAY 1; HORSEBACK RIDING BEACH AND MOUNTAINS

If you are renting for a week, a horseback ride on the beach is a nice way to start your vacation, followed by an afternoon in the pool.

DAY 2; BEACH TOUR DAY

Another fantastic way to spend the day is to hire a taxi to do a beach tour. This brings you to several very interesting and fun places including a small plantatian, a hidden waterfall where you can watch the locals dive from very high perches, The Blue Lagoon, where you can zip line off a cliff and dive into a 70' deep cenote. At the same stop, you can explore an ancient cave.

After the zip lining and swimming, it;s time for lunch on Playa Grande Beach. This beach has been voted as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world! The fresh seafood and chicken on the menu and drinks including coco locos and pina coladas will leave you ready to continue exploring one or two more beaches. I recommend Playa Diamonte where you can find fresh water sulphur springs bubbling up from the sand on the beach and can walk out 300 yards and still be in waste deep calm clear water. Another beautiful beach is Playa Calleton.

DAY 3; MONKEY JUNGLE ZIP LINING

Monkey Jungle is a short 30 minute ride from the villa.
A Taxi can take you there in his van (up to 6).
They have a pretty intense zip line circuit. They also have a really cool monkey habitat where you can feed the small monkeys as they sit on your shoulders and heads and eat out of your hand! If you don't want to zipline, you can just do the monkey jungle and sit at the bar to wait for the zip liners to return.

DAY 4; CABARETE BEACH MASSAGE AND SHOPPING

A day at Cabarete beach is a very relaxing way to pass a day in this wonderful beach town. Many of the establishments will not charge you to use their beach chairs if you buy a drink or snack from them. While on the beach, there are vendors in blue shirts that are licensed to give massages and pedicures on the beach.
It's a must to have an on beach massage followed by a mani-pedi while drinking a cold beer or pina colada. Very relaxing indeed! There are also many shops to explore in town if you need a break from the beach.

DAY 5; PRIVATE CHEF AT VILLA AND MASSAGE

If you are tired of having fun away from the villa, hire our private chef to indulge you with their fantastic meals throughout the day and night. They will meet you the day before to prepare the menu for the next day and stock the fridge with groceries necessary to prepare breakfast the next morning. After breakfast, they will prepare the menu you desire for lunch and dinner then go shopping. This is beyond any doubt most guest's favorite experience during their stay! If you want the ultimate in relaxation, couple the chef experience with a full day of massages, manicures and pedicures poolside or on the beach and you are in for a real treat.

DAY 6; SOSUA BEACH AND PUERTO PLATA CABLE CAR

A morning ride into Puerto Plata to take the cable car to the top of Isabella del Torres is a memorable experience. The views from the top of the mountain are breathtaking! There are also trails and gardens that you explore on top, as well as a little restaurant.
After the cable car, ask your taxi driver to take you to the old fort where you can learn a little history about the area. Then, on to the Amber museum.
After the Amber Museum, a little snorkelling and lunch at Sosua Beach will be a great way to wrap up your week. The shopping at Sosua Beach is much more affordable than in Cabarete.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

Other suggestions that can be explored in addition to or instead of those listed above are Ocean World, 27 Waterfalls, a visit to Santo Domingo, quad tour of the mountains and beach, mountain biking, kite surfing, surfing, sailing, deep sea fishing, catamaran snorkeling, night out in Sosua and Cabarete, UFO Museum, Brugal Rum factory tour, Rio San Juan Boat Ride..........The options are endless. You can even climb the tallest peak in the Caribbean; Pico Duarte!

Beautiful Cabarete
The villa was very well kept. Kudos to Jeremy,Maria and Mercedes for keeping the villa maintained. The location was ideal for privacy and security. The beach was fantastic. One of the best things about the trip was listening to the ocean surf and feeling the warm breeze. Truly a paradise. Thanks Frank for your time answering our questions and concerns in a timely manner.

The property is a little hidden. A sign out on route 5 would help a lot. Once you find it you will love it. Also Jeremi makes you feel at home right away

Villa Belvedere 1/2020
We were part of a party of 20 staying between three villas at Villas Paraiso, all managed by Frank. Just want to start by saying that the whole process was seamless, from initial booking to questions before arrival, transportation from airport and check in. Frank was very responsive for the almost ten months from time of booking to arrival. We were there to celebrate a friends 50th birthday and it all went off without a hitch. The staff that is on property was always helpful and friendly. We had two bonfires on the beach while we were there, all taken care of by the property maintenance and security staff. The cook Jenny was hired for one full day for all three villas for three meals. She was awesome to work with from planning to service. Eduardo was our go to for all of our transportation and excursion needs. He also was a wealth of knowledge for local restaurants and local vibe. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone that want to try local living away from the resorts. It was only a 20 minute ride from Puerto Plata airport and Eduardo even stopped at Janets market on way back from airport. Location was perfect for quiet time and being in our own little compound made it feel so safe, not that there was any issues. the local dogs help keep guard also, :) The three of them were so friendly and you knew right away if someone was walking the beach. Another great asset to make you feel at home!! The Villa Belvedere was perfect for the six of us. Three beds with their own baths was perfect. The decor was so cool, as well as the pool table which we used all the time. Kitchen area is right size for 6 people and the pool also. It was a little cold for us (being from Florida) but it was just the time of year we were there.(January 2020). There was nothing bad at all for our whole trip, would definitely recommend this villa to anyone looking to check out Cabarete!! Cheers and thanks again to Frank and his Staff for making it a great vacation!!

Beautiful getaway, great staff
Great location on quiet (not for swimming) beach. 10 minute walk to excellent breakfast spot and another 10-15 minutes to swimming beach, water sports, and shops. Minor maintenance issues prevent 5 stars including (not limited to) A/C in one of bedrooms not working. Water was off when we arrived - groundskeeper connected cistern. Electricity went out one time that we noticed and generator immediately kicked on. Reliable high speed internet our entire stay was appreciated. Morning visit to see Laguna Dudú (Blue Lagoon) was a highlight, combined with beaches.

Terrific Beachfront escape
Loved the place, loved the staff, loved the beach, and really appreciated the great, careful communication of our host. We highly recommend the houses. It's like you've got your own private, quiet beach--a terrific escape. Our tip: DEFINITELY hire the chef. He's fantastic: food was great, and the pricing was very reasonable--especially since the restaurants in town aren't particularly cheap. We highly recommend Villa Belvedere.
