Villa Celeste is the perfect place to have an unforgettable time with family/friends. The Villa is beautiful and the location superb. There are several excursion options and restaurants nearby, however the best times were gathering outside around the pool, walking the beach, having Jose cook us a special dinner and ending the day in the hot tub. The girls also made a great Dominican lunch and breakfast every morning. Franklyn was such a blessing! He helped us with all transportation and excursion decisions and has become a friend of our family. This was definitely a relaxing vacation. We chose a few activities: zipline & monkeys, a day to Blue Lagoon with boat ride & snorkeling and horseback riding on the beach (they bring the horses to the villa). We ate out (transport) twice, ate at Coconuts (3min walk on beach) twice, cooked ourselves once and had 2 dinners with Jose. Jose's dinner were excellent! I would recommend his dinners over eating out! Also, I recommend having groceries & drinks arranged prior to arrival. Horseback riding was something I wish I had done at sunset every evening! I really hope to return again! Celeste was so helpful: from the time of booking, to prior arrival arrangements, questions we had during our stay and extending departure blessings. You will not be disappointed. BTW, I never leave reviews!
