About this property

Nestled under towering palms and surrounded by tropical gardens of hibiscus, ginger and heliconia, La Paloma is a great escape for a family or up to three couples who want a casual vacation that is centered around relaxation, good food and beach time. La Paloma is conveniently located only 2 minutes from the beach, 10 minutes from excellent beach restaurants, 5 minutes from a great spa and 20 minutes from town. Enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches on the island where there is the shade of palms or sun glistened sand. A casual lunch on the beach followed by a swim is always fun or you can or rent a Hobi at the Sailing Club, only a four minute walk.

Insgesamt nicht empfehlenswert!

Die Unterkunft ist absolut in die Jahre gekommen. Die Hygiene in den Waschräumen und Toiletten lässt stark zu wünschen übrig. Selbst das Besteck hatte schon Lochfraß vom Rost. Auf Nachfrage zu den Mängeln wurde uns angeboten die Unterkunft sofort zu verlassen. Was natürlich unmöglich ist. Das Wasser aus den Leitungen roch verfault. Die Klimaanlagen sind total veraltet und sehr laut und teilweise ohne Funktion. Ein entspanntes schlafen ist kaum möglich. Die gesamten Oberflächen in der Küche sind klebrig und verlebt. Das Geschirr ist aus Plastik. Wir waren insgesamt sehr enttäuscht über diese Unterkunft. Wir können nur jeden abraten diese Unterkunft zu mieten. Der einzige Vorteil ist die absolute Strandlage. Aber auch diese rechtfertigt nicht den Preis.

Tropical Oasis, perfect Post Covid vacation

La Paloma is a wonderful villa in the heart of Las Terrenas. It was our first visit to the DR and Leslie made it very special. After not traveling for a year we chose Las Terrenas for the secluded beaches and restaurants. It did not disappoint. The villa is located 2 mins off the beach and walkable to the town and the beachside restaurants. It’s secluded and private and very secure. The pool was our favorite place to be, it’s surrounded by tropical plants, and tall palms. The villa has everything you need and if not, Leslie is always available to answer questions. We appreciated the water cooler, the floor fan, the coffee maker and the outdoor shower. The villa has the real feel of the Dominican, with beautiful artwork and furniture. The villa is clean and comfortable. Our visit was in April so the mosquitos were active but if you keep the doors closed and use bug spray they aren’t a problem. We loved waking up to the birds and watching tiny hummingbirds in the back yard. Leslie was a perfect host and we plan to return and stay at the villa again soon. I miss it already.

Perfect villa - pool, grill, gardens, steps to beach and town

This is a very nice villa decorated in a typical Dominican style. The owners - who are longtime Las Terrenas residents - are extremely hospitable and offer excellent insight and tips (local cuisine, shops, adventures). The home is comfortable for a family of 4, plus another couple or nanny. The location is quiet and private, yet only one block from Las Ballenas beach. The saltwater pool and outdoor showers are very nice. Indulge in a private massage outdoors under the palapa - superb! We loved it and hope to return again!

Christmas 2018 at Lesley and Bill House

From the start of our booking up to the end of our stay, Lesley and Bill have been fantastic and of a great support for the organization of our vacation. Their villa is great, full of charm and very well located, i.e. close to the beach and the village of Las Terranas, but sufficiently away so it is very quiet. We spent 11 nights, and will be ready to come back again!. We strongly recommend that location and the owners!. Best Regards

Tropical Paradise One Block to Beach

We stayed 3 weeks this past Feb in Leslie and Bill’s La Paloma home. I wish I was there now. The house and pool are lovely. The gardens are beautiful. As usual photos don’t quite do it justice. We travelled almost 24 hours and were pretty grumpy when we arrived but Leslie and Bill were waiting for us though it was rather late. They were great hosts. But location location location. One block to the beach down a pretty ocean view lane. At the beach there are several outdoor restaurants in either direction. All wonderful. A few are French as Las Terrenas has a large French/European population. The town is crazy, crazy and I was more than happy to spend my time at the pool or down at the beach. Oh, and Santi, a sweet old beach dog. I miss her. Highly recommend.

A quiet and welcome respite close to LT's lively action

This spacious home has everything you need if you just want to be able to walk (3 min) to beach and restaurants and you don't require the amenities of an all inclusive. 3 good sized and comfortable bedrooms, fabulous outdoor dining and poolside lounging areas, an indoor living room we never used. OK wireless internet. No TV or radio, so bring your own tunes. One level living. Leslie and Bill are very attentive and helpful owner hosts who want to ensure you have what you need--Onsite massages, a stocked frig upon arrival, restaurant and beach tips, directions to dive shops and supermarket. We'd never been to the DR or LT before and were quickly acclimated. We brought our minimally ambulatory 91 year old mother who did just fine. Adjoining home availability makes for a great family compound. A good dose of evening mosquitos and no see ums, but hey, its the Caribbean. Bug dope is supplied! We'd do it again.

Amazing house and even better hosts.

We spent two weeks in the house and loved every second. The house is great for a holiday retreat, close to the beach and restaurants/bars. Lovely settings around the pool, could spend all day in the house and have a great time with the kids. Leslie and Bill are the best of hosts, very attentive and informative. I would highly recommend this house. We will definitely be back. Sebastian and Camila.
