"We booked this last minute and we got lost! I called the hotel and man was Dominic great! He send us the location through WhatsApp and he even asked for our location and went looking for us in golf cart. We met half away and he brought us to the villa. Villa is beautiful and clean. I regret only being there for one night. Our AC stopped working late at night and he came over right away to fix it and since he couldn't he gave us another room right away. Then we woke up to Dominican breakfast with coffee and orange juice and it was the best breakfast I had. We are definitely coming back with a bigger group to fill that villa up"
