Peaceful seclusion
If you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of life this is your spot super nice beaches which we enjoyed by ourselves. The road is is quite rough but go slow and take your time it’s no problem staff was great however we had a language issue ( English to DR). The pool was perfect for hanging out in the evenings. We hiked to Las Galares and enjoyed the locals and found some hidden gems (Raquel’s beach bar and a pizzeria on the main street right side facing the ocean)

Not what it seems
DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE!!!!! The only reason they got a star from me is because I can't provide a review without giving a star!! The pictures are very old and are not what they seem when you arrive at this property. For starters, the getting to this place you would need an off-road vehicle. The roads are undone and extremely tight, not to mention dangerous. There are NO lights on this road and if you arrive at sunset like we did, adds to the terrifying experience. Once we finally arrived, the host was a no show. Instead, the ground keepers greeted us and immediately left, leaving us to try to figure out our way around the premises. Once the dust settled, I came to the realization that we are in the middle of nowhere, and there is no place to buy any kind of food or snacks. There is not a supermarket, mini market, store, restaurant, in sight. Now the issues with the property. -Just about all the windows are missing the screen, being in a tropical and wooded place the insects that kept sneaking in was unbelievable. My son was bitten by who knows what on his arms. -The doors wouldn't properly lock! My husband and I couldn't sleep with fear that the doors couldn't lock and the surroundings being pitch black of what could possibly happen. -The bathroom in my kids' room overflooded. As you can imagine the mess and health conditions this exposed. -The so-called night security guard was not in sight -The furniture and appliances are very old -The rooms wouldn't stay cool because the windows are not properly secured and can't close -The water in the pool was murky - There was su pposed to have a chef which never came I can keep on and on. We left the next day and found another place to stay. Couldn't expose my family to these conditions!!! Don't get catfished like I did!!

Le bonheur à l'état pur!
Il est difficile de décrire par des mots le bien-être ressenti en séjournant dans cette magnifique maison. L'emplacement est idéal, isolée au bout de quelques kilomètres de piste praticable mais en même temps à une quinzaine de minutes de Las Galeras. Pas de vis à vis avec les 4 autres maisons de l'ensemble privé et gardé. Elle est à cinquante mètres de Playa Colorada une magnifique plage déserte et privée bordée de cocotiers. Une piscine magique et une maison ayant le charme des demeures coloniales avec une pointe de modernité ne gâchant pas son cachet. Spacieuse, confortables avec des chambres très bien décorées et de grandes terrasses avec vue sur la mer. Barbecue à l'extérieur pour de bonnes grillades. Diogenes et Isa qui s'occupent de la maison le matin (ménage ,piscine, jardin ,etc) sont très sympas et pourront vous conseiller sur les choses à faire et à voir aux alentours et éventuellement vous mettre en contact avec les bonnes personnes pour les excursions. Le soir un gardien est la pour la nuit même si l'endroit est sur et calme. Vous serez bercés pas le bruit des vagues et celui de la jungle environnante.... Bref je pourrais remplir des pages en vous parlant de mon expérience là-bas mais le mieux c'est que vous y alliez vous rendre compte par vous-même du bonheur procuré par cet endroit !! Pour finir un grand merci à notre hôte Mr Vincent toujours disponible ,avec qui le contact est facile et chaleureux, dont les explications sont claires et précise et qui prend plaisir à vous faire partager son petit paradis. Merci pour ce séjour de rêve.

Perfect place for a vacation
This place is amazing, suitable for a quiet holiday as it is very private, or for those who like a more active holiday, because there is really something to do here. You can spend time in the villa, or on the private beaches which are just a few steps from the villa, or you can explore the area, go on a hike where you will discover wonderful uninhabited beaches. You can walk to the beautiful beach of Playa Rincon, and it is only 15-20 minutes from the villa. You can also go to El limon waterfall by car, see Loca Boca Del Diablo, take a walk in the beautiful town of Samana, visit the small local villages where you can buy fresh fish, fresh local fruit and vegetables, and see how the locals live. And there is more to see and to do, this place is truly amazing. The villa may need renovation, but it didn't cause us any inconvenience, we had everything we needed - clean rooms, separate bathrooms, large kitchen and everything you need in the house. An outdoor large pool is definitely an advantage. The view you see when you enter the balcony pays off. Do I recommend this villa? Definitely yes, 100%. This is where you want to return.

Nice property, just need to be updated!
The house is a great property, however, it does need to be updated! Location is great, the views are amazing, great for big groups, lovely beach although the waves were rough this time of the year. The kitchen needs to be updated along with utensils. The staff is great, specially Moreno. The pool is very good too but be careful if you have kids that can’t swim as it’s very deep and not much room to walk around as soon as you get in.

Remote location offered total Privacy - exactly what we needed
We had a very busy 6 weeks or so - European travel to see my son over US Thanksgiving while he was studying abroad, Christmas, my oldest son's destination wedding on January 4th and all of the projects that came with that event. We knew we needed some time away after all the festivities and searched for a property that would offer total privacy. We had a few items on our "must haves" list - the sound of the ocean waves while we slept, a view of the water, a private pool. This house checked all of those boxes for us. (the view is unfortunately somewhat blocked by overgrown vegetation that doesn't show in the online pics that must be quite old) There is a housekeeper that comes daily, a groundskeeper that is around and a night watchman each evening. We opted to give the housekeeper the time off - we were only there 4 days and did not want anyone underfoot while we enjoyed our time together. The groundskeeper was around, but out of the way mostly. He did handle a hot water issue as well as a toilet that would not flush, so happy he was close enough to take care of those small inconveniences. The nightwatchman was around, we saw him once or twice, but he too was not underfoot, and offered a sense of security since we slept with the doors and windows open each night. Getting to the house was our only negative. We flew into Santo Domingo and the drive is 3.5 hours or so. We REALLY needed a stop at a more American-style grocery, but did not have the time to do that. Ended up going to a grocery in Samana that was the best option, but did not offer the array of food items we had hoped to find. The drive was somewhat perilous as road markings in the area must be a suggestion only - drivers on motorcycles, scooters, mopeds and even large trucks were erratic! Definitely made for an adventure. The last 3 miles or so really would have been better served with a 4 wheel drive vehicle. But the property and private beaches were well worth the effort. Suggestion: use bottled water for literally everything, including brushing your teeth. My boyfriend got traveler's diarrhea from brushing his teeth with tap water. That made for a really long travel day home. Overall we had a great time and would like to take friends back to enjoy the place. But we will definitely find a decent grocery before making the drive north. Note: The staff can and will help stock the pantry beforehand - we just didn't know what we wanted til we arrived. Have fun!

Un séjour inoubliable...
Le propriétaire nous parlait d'un lieu paradisiaque ...eh bien, oui nous avons découvert un lieu tout à fait féerique! Retiré des centres villes et des lieux touristiques, cette maison au design colonial est juste magique et complètement adaptée pour un séjour de repos et de sérénité. La piscine aux dimensions incroyables se prête complètement à de grandes familles. Les deux plages "privées" sont magnifiques!!! Il nous tarde de revenir dans ce lieu protégé entouré de nature et de beauté!

We oThe property i, right on the beach
Over the past years, we have always tried to take my vacation in both relaxing and exotic places. However, never have we been so blown away by such a beautiful scenery. Before we arrived, the owner kindly recommended us different excursions to do during our stay. We had a boat come to the beach of the Villa one day to bring us on an excursion to visit the coast of the island -breathtaking. Another day, we took a boat to visit mangroves. Whenever we decided to spend the day at the villa, were the only ones on the beach, and got to enjoy its peacefulness. Moreover, if we left for daily excursions, we always came back at sunset and got to sit by the pool. If we needed any assistance, two domestics were there to help us. The owner also often called to make sure everything went ok, something we really appreciated. One thing I would recommend though is having a car to travel around. For the rest, we loved being isolated from the city, and hearing the calming noise of the ocean before going to bed. The Villa itself was beautiful, and always very clean. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to experience paradise ! This was a trip we will never forget.

Beautiful, quiet, oasis!
The property is beautiful! Con: remote, difficult to obtain groceries if you plan to cook yourself and you do not have a rental car available to you. Pro: The Chef is excellent. Con: Would be helpful if the Chef had menu suggestions available for the guests to choose from in that DR cooking uses different types of foods and it is hard to know what is available. The kitchen needs updates for cookware and appliances. Unless one knows Spanish, it is difficult to converse with the help. I used Google translation which helped to overcome, but again unless you are familiar with DR cooking it may be confusing. Lobster and Shrimp were either not available or very expensive. Con: The rodents: bats, spiders, rats, cockroaches, lizards should be expected as they are a natural part of the country. Pro: The house is clean and the help at the house are wonderful. All in all, an adventure and an experience of a lifetime:)

There were 8 people in our party and we all had a very good experience.
The house was a good size for are family. We especially appreciated Carla and Diogenes. They were so helpful and kind. We never felt they were an intrusion. The night guard, Noel made us feel very safe as well as Jeffery who accompanied us on our hike and ATV adventure. The pool was really nice. Carla cooked for us every night but one plus made delicious corn cakes, fried bananas, and delicious pina coladas and passion juice. The beach was close and beautiful. Our teenage children loved riding the waves. We played lots of games together and it was wonderful to not have TV or internet access. A lot of bonding time and relaxing time for are family who live busy lives in the states. Our only negative is the long ride from the airport. It was also nice being so secluded from a lot of tourist and very little chance to shop. We chose not to rent a car which limited our activities, but that also gave us the opportunity to truly relax and grow closer. A wonderful trip!!

Amazing in every way!
What a wonderful holiday! The house, while a little off the beaten path, was beautiful. Extremely well kept and a true villa. Three large bedrooms upstairs, each with its own bathroom, plus another en-suite bedroom on the first floor allowed all of our guests privacy, and convenience for our older guest who has trouble with stairs. Most exciting was the private beach just steps from the house. We listened to the waves crashing at night and woke to views of the water and hills. The house staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We got in very late in the evening and Diogenes was waiting to guide us to the house. We also arranged for dinner to be prepared for most of our stay - it was well worth it! Two recommendations: Definitely rent an SUV - most the roads around the house are dirt and rocky so you’ll need it! And don’t forget your bug spray. The windows do not have screens, which we didn’t mind, but you’ll wake up to chewed legs if you don’t spray before bed! Thank you, Vincent, for making this marvelous house available to vacationers. It was truly a paradise.

Holiday Paradise
This is quite simply the most beautiful place imaginable. The villa is set in a very private location next to two stunning semi private beaches. We rarely saw another person on either beach. The villa is spacious, well kept with stunning views. It is very well equiped and keeps cool even in summer so we didnt need the airconditioning.The staff, Diogenes, Dulis and Noen were friendly and extremely helpful but unobtrusive. The pool is large. deep, warm and well kept..We had no problem with mosquitos or other unwelcome insects. Although off the beaten track the road is not too bad, an SUV is helpful but a 4x4 not essential. It is still easy to go out for dinner and to visit the rest of the penisula with its many beautiful beaches.towns and waterfalls. The Dominicans are extremely friendly warm people who made us feel very welcome.We were humbled by their generosity.. We have travelled extensively and will definitely return to this peaceful haven.

Beautiful house and grounds. Very private and quiet except for the waves crashing on the beach!
This is a great location for a group of people who want a great place to meet. The beach was too rough for swimming but we were able to go to nearby beaches to swim and the pool is wonderful. At night we would turn off all the lights and lie on the chairs to watch the stars. There are not many places you can do that anymore. We even saw fireflies which I have not seen since childhood. We went to sleep every night with our windows open and the sound of the surf lulling us to sleep! The night watchman was there all night to keep a good eye on the area as we slept. So relaxing! The house is well set up for cooking and relaxing and the staff are great. The road in is rough, but with careful driving we were able to manage and got quite good at driving it. We took great day trips to the local towns and beaches and happily came home every night to our wonderful house.

Villa Bahai Rincon - absolutely superb, a privilege to stay in such an amazing place!
We had a fantastic time staying at Villa Bahai Rincon!! The setting is remote, but stunningly beautiful, a tropical paradise! The white sandy beaches, lined with coconut palms are spectacular and only accessible from the villa or by boat. The villa sits in very well kept tropical gardens with views out to the beach and bay beyond. The villa is large, beautiful colonial style and very well managed. We were very comfortable. The pool is excellent, large, very clean and very refreshing. Samana is fascinating, never a dull moment...., but always friendly. I'd recommend the zip wire, boat trips, the waterfall and some of the local beach front or hill top restaurants are fantastic. There is a great beachfront restaurant a short walk from the villa. If you like horse riding or quad bikes, there are plenty of opportunities. Hiring a good SUV is essential, driving is an interesting experience, you won't get to the best places in an ordinary car. Also Spanish is useful, there is very little English spoken, although we got by none. To sum up, we had a wonderful time sampling life in Dominican Republic, with a few adventures along the way and staying in a breath-taking location. We would go back in a heartbeat!! Fab!!
