Already planning to go back!!!
Publié le 10 août 2024 sur HomeAwayBooked with another four person family and it was AMAZING! The home is gorgeous, views are stunning and the staff were so caring and wonderful. Our children loved the pool, the lazy river, and the "little pool" or jacuzzi when it wasn't hot. The evening breeze made the balcony irresistible at night. We slept so soundly and peacefully. Each morning, waking up in a king bed room, we looked out on the beauty of the country. We loved exploring local beaches, grocery stores and restaurants. Horse back riding with Maimon Bay Ranch was breath-taking and enjoyable for all ages.
You do not have to speak Spanish to enjoy your time here, but it really helps! You can pay for things in USD but I recommend pesos so you do not lose money on the conversion rates with vendors. I cannot say enough about the staff. Our meals were delicious and the chef made sure to meet all of our needs - kids and adults.
Please stay here. You'll want to come again and again.

100% recommendation
Publié le 20 mars 2024 sur HomeAwayBeautiful, clean, safe, amazing service. We stayed a week and had from 5-12 family with us each night. It was so spacious, even with 12 it never seemed crowded. The staff was wonderful. Just a walk to the beach and nightlife. Easy to get tours and excursions for the entire crew.

Relaxing and comfortable
Publié le 18 mars 2024 sur HomeAwayLarge villa with wonderful view. Owner was responsive and helpful prior to check in. Onsite staff including villa manager, kitchen/house attendants, taxi driver, maintenence man, security….all wonder people…friendly, welcoming, attentive. Interesting walk down the hill to public beach area…and a bit of exercise coming back up. Taxi available anytime at your request to go anywhere….and to return you to villa. Some maintenance issues were handled quickly…many light bulbs needed replacing…hot tub didn’t stay heated, toilets had some flushing issues. Any and all concerns were addressed…some the next day. Some observations…only one TV in villa (living room area) and on the small side. With our crew..bedroom TVs would have been nice. When gathered around dining area table adjacent to living room for cards, games, etc…difficult for those in living area trying to watch TV. “Game room had older foosball table and rather “used” pool table and cues. “Exercise equipment was similarly “used” , and some non functional. Our weather was warm and windy….not sure if hillside location is always windy but most days during our visit it was strong enough to blow towels, cups, glasses, off chairs and tables. The pool is very nice but on the cold side during our visit. It is not heated. The bold in our crew used it anyway every day! To the owner,Glen, to the villa mgr, Santa, and the wonderful staff….thank you!

Hi Kevin, thank you for taking the time to write this review. We're sorry that you didn't think your stay with us warrants a 5-star review. You seemed to have a lot of issues upon arrival, which our staff immediately looked at. We have a team of staff which includes a villa manager and an onsite handyman, who are there to ensure the guest's comfort and that any problems are dealt with immediately. As for TV's in the bedrooms, we are not a hotel and the villa is arranged in a way that friends and family can spend time together in communal areas, such as the large cinema room. We also have wifi so guests can use their iPads/laptops in their room if they wish to. Our amenities are not brand new but are very well looked after. We are a family-run, independent villa and not a corporation. Our jacuzzi is on a timer and the dial needs to be turned on again after one hour. There is no time limit! Our pool is 65,000 gallons so heating it would be extortionate and also not necessary in hot weather. And unfortunately, the weather is not something we can control, I wish we could! I hope that despite these complaints you and your family managed to enjoy your stay with us. You were a pleasant group and always welcome to stay with us again.

WANTED TO MOVE IN!!!
Publié le 28 déc. 2023 sur HomeAwayThis morning when we left, I was crying on the balcony and my husband had to pry me away from the property! I have been worldwide traveler for over 20 years and this, by far was a place where I wanted to live there, full-time!
The staff was absolutely phenomenal! Santa made me feel right at home! And Santiago made our family, feel very safe by being our nightly guard!
Several beautiful women washed several loads of laundry for us, so we could go out as a family and snorkel and deep-sea fish! We will absolutely be coming back here! They have a phenomenal view in the mountains at the very top of the peak looking at the beautiful city below with a hot tub and huge infinity pool!
Many times pictures look better than the real deal… In this case, the real deal looked 10 times better than the pictures which were already stunning!
When you look at other properties to stay at in the same area with all of the extra fees per person per day… This was a no-brainer to stay at this huge mansion in the hills!
Thank you James Bond Villa staff for making our vacation vacation one we will remember for a lifetime!

An Unforgettable Experience Amidst Spectacular View
Publié le 6 déc. 2023 sur HomeAwayOur stay was nothing short of magical. The picturesque moonrises viewed from the comfort of the jacuzzi and rooftop terrace were simply mesmerizing; pictures don't do justice to such breathtaking moments. Bioma, the epitome of warmth and talent, delighted us with her exceptional culinary skills, preparing delectable breakfasts and dinners. Her thoughtfulness extended to ensuring my morning coffee was ready, adding a perfect touch to each day.
The staff, including Santa and Carlos, contributed to our unforgettable experience. Their kindness and attentiveness truly made us feel at home away from home. This villa was an oasis of relaxation and beauty, where every sunrise felt like a masterpiece.
We departed with hearts full of gratitude, relishing the memories of this extraordinary break. Our sincerest thanks to Bioma, Santa, Carlos, and the entire team for creating an experience that surpassed all expectations. We're already yearning for our next visit!"

What a great time!
Publié le 29 avr. 2023 sur HomeAwaySanta and the team will take care of you from start to end. The house is a little older but has lots of character. The pool is amazing. The food prepared for us was fantastic. If we had any questions or needs the team was there to help us. We enjoyed touring the island but we really felt at home with Santa and the team. Thank you all for a wonderful vacation and great memories.

Absolutely amazing!
Publié le 24 mars 2023 sur HomeAwayLet me start off by saying, if I could give this place more than 5 stars on everything...I would! From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The way the staff took care of us, meals that were prepared, coffee made so we could watch the sunrises with it in our hand. Kept the villa clean throughout our whole stay. All the extra touches they put into it day in and day out. This staff is what truly made this home...made it like it was our home. The location was beautiful, our views was like no other, the home was amazing, the pool and hot tub was clean and perfect. I will never book another home in Puerta Plata besides this one.
Now let me talk about Santa....she is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. From helping me plan the meals, arranging taxis for us, helping me get the groceries that were needed for specific meals, making sure I had contact info for her in case i needed anything when she wasnt there. I wanted to bring her home with me. She is the best and what made this stay like a dream for us. The security made us feel safe and secure and was very much appreciated.
I was a party of 14, all couples. We came for our yearly "baecation" and they made our experience in the DR unforgettable.
Thank you Santa and the whole staff for making this home, our home while we were there.

The trip of a lifetime
Publié le 13 mars 2023 sur HomeAwayNumber one the staff was incredibly helpful the cook and they did an amazing job with the food. They kept their place spotless!
I have no words for the view from the pool and the hot tub. The pictures we posted to FB do no justice to the true beauty and grandeur of the house.
I will just say this... I will not soon forget this vacation and it is in the record books of my memory as a world class event. Epic!!

Great stay
Publié le 9 janv. 2023 sur HomeAwayThe villa was a great stay and it's exactly as pictured! The staff was amazing and it was very comfortable size for our group of 12 (10 adults, 2 kids). Some details:
Pros: (1) wifi only worked on the main floor but was strong enough for video work calls for those working, and there was plenty of space to work. (2) rooms are spacious and A/C was strong in the rooms (3) gorgeous pool and hot tub when working (4) staff was amazing and cleaned / cooked every day (5) good shower pressure (6) having a driver for groceries, golfing, excursions etc. was amazing
Cons: (1) a bit outdated (e.g. mesh doors to keep mosquitos out were a bit broken, jacuzzi broke for almost half the stay which made it too cold to use, fixtures are a bit dated, etc.) (2) beds were firm

Hi Rachel,
Thank you for taking the time to write this, I understand how disappointing it was that the jacuzzi broke down, but we have an on-site maintenance man who informed us of this immediately. It was unfortunate this happened on a weekend but we did bend over backwards to get this fixed ASAP to ensure this wouldn't interrupt your vacation. The mattresses are of a high quality that we imported in from the capitol and we've never been told these are firm but we will take this into account. We hope that despite this you and your family enjoyed your vacation and please know that you are always welcome to stay with us again.
