If a view is important to you, definitely consider Villa Estrella del Norte. The view is absolutely stunning.Villa is not air conditioned, but each bedroom has a ceiling fan and constant breeze meant we rarely used them.The road to the villa from the highway is very steep, but is navigable in an ordinary car without 4X4. 35 minutes from El Catey airport.The local property manager, Randy from AIC Dominicana in Las Terrenas, had excellent communication. Via phone, text, email, WhatsApp. Always replied quickly. Solved 2 issues promptly. Booked a taxi to pick us up from airport, and had small amount of food we asked for waiting in the frig.The maid (and cook if you want), Nina, arrived each morning and made our beds and cleaned. The caretaker/security officer, Roberto, lives in his own house on site and tended the pool and grounds and provided 24/7 security. We used Google Translate to communicate. Lovely people, both.The pool is not heated. 24C-27C in Feb, which was OK for some people but not for others.Willy's Taxi Service provided excellent service with good cars. 25 USD/1500 DOP one-way from villa to Las Terrenas. Communicated via translation function on WhatsApp.Scotiabank ATM in LT is convenient way to exchange money. Use Canadian debit card, withdraw DOP. If Scotiabank or Tangerine customer, no withdrawal fee, only the exchange rate, which was best in town. If debit card from other bank, 300 DOP fee.Highly recommended
