Avis Beachfront Playa Turquesa 2 BR/2 BA Penthouse Condo W/Rooftop 50mbps WIFI

We arrived to a hot and NOT impressive place. Do NOT count on the loft bedroom. Hot up there. Pool and seaside bar was fabulous. People that work there were so nice and we enjoyed our beach time. But boats around the barrier floaties at beach, keep pollution stirred up in the swim area. Sand was nice. The wood beach lounge chairs and umbrellas were available and comfy. Walk down the beach includes tons of seaweed at the water line. They have a tractor guy out there that is available to push away seaweed at our beach, but on down the beach, it was a problem. But we came, we saw, we left. Felt like we were charged tourist rate at restaurants. People were pleasant, tho.

The property, location and beach are amazing. It was nice to stay at this location and be able to experience the life and culture of the area. We have a family of 7 and walked around town and always felt safe and welcomed. There are plenty of dining options for everyone and there were a couple places that were our go to for Gluten Free options that were safe. The only thing that I would change is the music at night. The building is next to the lively street and the bars and restaurants play music loud late into the middle of the night. The beach is amazing. The pools were nice. The restaurant on the beach was a good go-to for quick drinks for our family. All-in-all we couldn’t have asked for anything better.

This is the second year my family and I have stayed at this condo. I can’t say enough good things about it. Has everything we need, perfect location to walk to a small grocery store and many restaurants. The private beach is not crowded and the new tiki umbrellas on the beach were a great addition this year. You can walk on the beach to food and shops as well as sign up for excursions (Tony is the best!). The bar/food on property at the beach is very fresh and good. Theresa is always very responsive and the property manager Liz took care of everything we needed.

I vacationed with my family and this place was perfect! The condo overlooked the pool and just a shower walk to the second pool and beach. The beach was stunning. We found lounge chairs in the morning with some shading of the palm trees and were steps away from the beach restaurant with such fresh food and the drinks were all made from fresh fruit. Heh you walk out of the condo, there are SO many restaurants to choose from with outdoor seating and all the food we had was very good, and again so fresh. Everyone we met was friendly. The guards and staff at the beach knew us by the time we left. And my kids loved learning new Spanish words from them and telling them about where we lived. Going outside of the condo complex also felt like you were enjoying the culture of the island.

This is a clean and nice property. The beach is fantastic. I love all the restaurants on the beach and outside the gate. Top notch.

The condo worked very well for a winter-time escape to the tropical warmth; the unit’s layout was great for cooking, dining, and relaxing; its kitchen appliances are modern and seem to be quite new in a convenient layout. The property has a terrific crew of on-site private security to ensure the safety of all its residents, staffed 24/7. The buildings are well located right at Bavaro Beach with its many on-site / nearby attractions and water-oriented tours, as well as a nice little café right at the beach. Also, there are many small shops and restaurants in the surrounding streets, including supermarkets, pharmacies, and gift/souvenir shops – and a nice cigar specialty shop directly across the street from the facility entrance. Further from the condo facility, but within a few-minutes’ drive are even more restaurants (try “Jellyfish”) and shopping (Downtown Mall w/ the “Jumbo” mega department store). And just a little further is the “Supermercado Olé”, similar to Jumbo but with some variety in goods for sale. A little further will get you to the “Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park”, offering a serene path and a few pools for swimming – great for a half-day nature stroll. All-in-all, this is a great condo for a tropical vacation – comfortable and convenient. By the way, I rented a car but didn’t really need it – airport transfers would have got me to the condo and back to the airport. Many activities are available right at the facility and all the tour operators all offer free pick-up and return. I’ll save that expense next time at this excellent condo, which I hope will be soon!

Great place, great location, great communication.

Booked at short notice, great greeting exceptionally clean and well equipped . Liz is a fantastic guest manager. We had a little Maintenance issue that was rectified immediately and professionally. We are extremely satisfied. The complex is a great location clean and tidy excellent pools and only 1 minute walk from the beach if that! Shops are close by as are many eateries. Communication is also amazing by both the host and property management (Liz and her husband). Thankyou for our stay and extended stay

If you are looking for a sun drenched, relaxing vacation, then this is the place or you. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment has all the conveniences of condo resort living with all the restaurant and beach amenities within a very short walking distance. We spent 10 days at Playa Turquesa with the majority of our time having the large pools to ourselves and enjoying an uncrowded beachfront with lounge chairs of our choosing. The property is guared with 24 hr security and we felt very comfortable walking about. Please note, beach solicitations for various island tours and beach services are a daily occurrence. However, if you politely decline their solicitations, you will be left alone. There is an active nightlife/ bar scene around the property and the area has a wonderful mix of international tourists. We decided to take a more laid-back, relaxing vacation and truly enjoyed ourselves. US dollars as well as DR pesos are equally accepted with most restaurants accepting credit cards as well. I hope this review is helpful and the property owner, Theresa as well as the property manager Liz are an absolute delight! Shirley (mom) and Cristina (daughter), New York
