    We had an amazing vacation! 5.0 stars

    The Golden Dolphin Villa, Dominican Republic villa review Visited: December 2008

    Posted by bonlgrhm

    We just got home from staying at the Golden Dolphin Villa. The Villa was amazing. The suites were all large and very comfortable with wonderful views.

    The staff couldn't have been any better. The chef Richard made us wonderful meals, and Oscar made sure we were never without a drink. Elvyn over saw everything - spa appointments, driving arrangements, excursions, and anything else you could possibly want or need. He is a very nice man who really seems to care about each of us.

    On the villa grounds there were beautiful gardens; a full sized baseball field where you can play a game against the staff; a very nice pool; horses to ride; a spa which offered amazing treatments; tennis courts; a putting green; and much, much more.

    If you are looking for a luxury vacation, this is the place to go. I look forward to returning in the future.
