Great Vacation, Great Staff

Very welcoming stay! We loved the interaction with the staff. They were on it from the time we arrived. I was in communication with David a couple days before and throughout our whole stay. And Nelson was on point throughout our whole stay. And Jose the chef, food was delicious. Also anything that we needed in the house, the ladies were there to assist us the whole time.

Great Spot for a Vacation

We had a party here with a bunch of friends, and it did not disappoint. The staff was great, Nelson, the on-site manager took care of us and the food was fantastic from chef Danny and the portions were huge! Our group did the all inclusive packages, and it was well worth it. Communication with the off-site villa manager was a little tough. Transportation from the airport took about an hour because he had the wrong times of our arrivals (even though I sent the arrival times twice), and we were never really sure exactly how or when the excursions were getting booked. However, all of it turned out fine and we're a pretty easy group to deal with.

First Class Golf Holiday!!!

Brought a group of 8 down for a 5 day November golf getaway. From the initial contact with the owner , this was first class all the way. Before we arrived, all questions and concerns were dealt with right away. Emails were always returned promptly. Golf courses, excursions and all transports were arranged very easily. The newly renovated villa was beautiful. All 8 rooms are equally well appointed and spacious with their own bathroom. The excellent staff attended to our every need. Our butler/villa manager was outstanding and made sure all we had to do was relax and enjoy. The food was spectacular! Our chef made every meal especially the dinners something to savour. Can't recommend this villa enough!!!!

Amazing!!!!!

I honestly can't find the words that can equally define my experience here at Lakeview Villa! From the time my party of 16 arrived, it was thee absolute best ever. The staff, WOW, unbelievable! From Nela and Dulce who graciously kept our rooms top notch. To our amazing chef Beltran who wowed us every night with the most amazing meals and our go to guy for everything, Jose Antonio, who made sure we were not only comfortable, but walked us through it all every step of the way! Anders, Bodil and Rawnie, were all awesome with the process of booking the villa, and I received everything that I asked for within my all-inclusive and more! Again, it's going to be hard leaving this beautiful place, but I guarantee, myself and my family will definitely be back! THANK YOU LAKEVIEW VILLAS!

A Fantastic Getaway w/ Long Lasting Memories For Wife's 40th Birthday!

I surprised my wife for her 40th birthday at this newly renovated villa with her 12 close friends and family (7 adult couples total). The owner, Anders and event coordinator Bodil were very professional and accommodating from the initial contact until our final stay in the villa! This villa in my opinion is the best villa on the resort. The villa is walking distance from the first tee and public pool at the country club, the Hard Rock Cafe, and shopping mall. All the rooms are very spacious and modern. Our butler/villa manager catered to our every need. He recommended some great excursions, arranged our transportation, and made sure we were relaxed the entire trip! Our top notch chef prepared our meals everyday leaving us excited for our meal the next day! The variety of the meals he prepared impressed our entire party. Our 2 maids were also outstanding and helped made our trip to be a great vacation! The Pearl Beach Club is a must visit. Anders thank you for the recommendation and the VIP service! The golf course is really nice. My brother and I played 2 days and we only paid $50/each per round because we stayed on the resort at this villa. I can go on and on about this villa! Everyone has been thanking me for the experience and we are looking forward to come back next year!

Great Place Great Staff

The cooks and the staff were perfect; extremely warm, and funloving. We were introduced to a new food item every day, and the servings were plenty. We always had too many leftovers. We selected the villa to celebrate my Mother's 70th birthday, and the space was ideal for a small birthday dinner and celebration. The day of the party went without any issues, and the additional staff were extremely helpful and added to the ambiance of the night. Our only issues were related to communication and responding to some utility issues. The internet, the cable, and the air conditioning in the primary bedroom were spotty. The internet did not work throughout the property, the cable did not work almost the entire time we were there, and the beautiful primary bedroom AC quit on my parents on the 3rd or 4th day. They eventually addressed the internet issue, and someone came out to fix the cable issues, but it only worked in certain rooms. Unfortunately, my parents did not tell me about the issue with the AC until almost 2nd to last day. Otherwise, I would have informed the property manager when dealing with another room with AC issues. Overall it worked for us, so we were content.

Can I give this 10 stars????

I really don't know where to begin!!!! Myself along with 6 other ladies entered Punta Cana on September 11th to celebrate my 40th Birthday in the Dominican. When we arrived at Lake View Villa and were greeted with such a warm and jovial reception in the amazingly beautiful foyer of the Villa, I knew that we were in for a treat! This trip was over a year in the making, I searched TONS and TONS of websites, villas and hotels, I've read hundreds of reviews and after many, many email conversations, questions, apprehensions and the ladies driving me crazy, Anders, Rawnie and Bodil in the home office put my mind at ease when we finally selected Lake View Villa and told me to stop worrying and assured me that EVERYTHING would be alright and boy oh boy, were their words sooooo true....in fact everything was PERFECT! 3 words I have to say regarding the staff are JOSE, JOSE, JOSE!!!! He catered to our every need, although I know we got on his nerves being late to EVERYTHING, he still waited patiently on us hand and foot! I don't know what we would've done with out him! HE never told us NO to anything we asked for and he even played one of our board games with us one night when we asked him to!!! Thank you Jose for putting up with 7 crazy ladies, answering our incessant questions and making my 40th birthday UNFORGETTABLE! To Beltran our personal CHEF and the very sweet ladies who served, cleaned, provided snacks and more for us....our gratitude can not be expressed with mere words. We were more of a foodie group, so to WOW this group of ladies took some work and Beltran did that over and over, each night. Out of all the AMAZING, WELL SEASONED, SCRUMPTIOUS meals that were prepared , I think our FAVORITE was the BBQ night!!!!!! THOSE RIBS...CHICKEN, TURKEY BURGERS...I didn't think he could top any of the other meals on our last night, but......those RIBS!!!! Now we are back home in the states, each of us looking around for Jose, Beltran and the ladies....but they are busy WOW-ing another set of guests in OUR VILLA! :( Oh well, we are already trying to figure out how to get back down there, so until then all we can say is THANK YOU! IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THIS VILLA...STOP! JUST BOOK IT....NOW!!!!!!

Great Stay

Hosted a long weekend with a group of buddies. The house was gorgeous and the food was great. I thought the yard would be bigger based on the pictures, but regardless it was still plenty big to play kanjam, corn hole and through the football ...although we lost the frisbee to the pond think twice. The other complaint is that the sheets could’ve been a bit cleaner for the premium price we paid to be in the DR. That said, those were the only two complaints I can think of. There were more than enough amazing attributes to the house/trip that outweigh my complaints that give me reason to say it’s a 5 star stay. Everyone said it was the best trip they’ve had. Mariana was great.

Well appointed home and amazing staff members

Lake View Villa is simply fabulous! It’s located in a gated community that sits on a golf course nestled in a cul-de-sac. There was enough parking for our 6 rentals to maneuver in and out with ease. The property houses an indoor dining area suitable for 14, a screened outdoor dining area for 14 and a patio table for at least 10 - poolside. There is a large common area, cable TV and a fully stocked bar (additional charge) to further fulfill the comforts of home. Each bedroom has cable TV and WiFi is strong throughout the entire house. The property is what it says it is and more! The staff wasn’t staff at all… they treated us like family and at the end, it was very somber just like having to leave family. On our first day, we were greeted by Marianna and she took care of our every need - from booking in house massages to reserving our excursions, recommending things to see and places to eat if we desired. We, however; didn’t need much outside of the house. Chef Eduardo is MAGNIFICENT! He made sure we were never hungry and took into account all dietary needs. The meals he prepared were not only beautifully plated, but absolutely delicious! Our rooms were freshened daily, with towel and bed linens changed every three days. We cannot say enough about the atmosphere, consideration, assistance and engagement that we enjoyed with them. If you are looking for an expansive yet cozy, family environment, look no further- this is your place. We miss them already!

Lake View Villa + Staff = Perfection in Paradise

A group of 16 adults stayed here for nearly a week and had the most incredible experience. Our onsite concierge, Mariana, was fabulous and literally a superstar - she did anything and everything to make our stay amazing and memorable. Additionally, the onsite Chef and assistants were fantastic. The meals were unbelievably delicious, very well prepared and always served on time based on our group's schedule. They are all accommodating and will ensure all guests have the best experience. Also, Saona Island is a MUST excursion - it is paradise! I highly recommend Saona Island as a private excursion if you have enough people or the numbers. It does take a full day but it is worth the adventure! The pool and hot tub were alway pristine, as were the facilities at the villa. I would definitely recommend this villa or any property by Group Palmera!!! THANK YOU for the experience of a lifetime!

Hands down one of the Best places for a Bachelor Party

We had a group of 16 guys for a bachelor party (March 7-11). Everything from our first email with the owner (Anders) to our experience at the Villa was exceptional and exceeded our expectations. Booking: Anders and Bodil were extremely helpful in booking and confirming our stay. We delivered the funds via bank wire and the funds were promptly confirmed. We made special accommodations to bring a party speaker which was allowed. The Villa: Is exactly as pictured but even nicer in person. The views of the pond and the golf course are stunning as is the landscaping in the entire gated community. The community is extremely safe with tight security. The community also allows golf, tennis and other facilities on site. Every room was clean and as pictured. Very comfortable and well laid out. The Villa is constructed in a very nice layout. The Dinner area is screened and outdoors which is perfect for breakfast/lunch/dinner. The Hot-Tub and pool are great although the pool is not that deep it is still awesome. (A much larger pool exists in the golf course that is available). Across the street to the community is a strip mall featuring branded outlets. They are not discounted (typical tourist prices) however they are very nice and worth walking over. About a 10-15 minute walk from the Villa. Also, the beach is about 5-10 minutes away in car, but the Jellyfish restaurant which is beachfront has a shuttle (Just ask Jose to arrange the shuttle). We also ate at the Jellyfish restaurant which had great seafood. The Staff: The moment we arrived at the Villa we were greeted by Jose the manager. Jose remained key to our enjoyable stay as he arranged excursions/trips and food/snacks etc. Basically anything we required, Jose delivered. He was great at recommending things to do and places to visit in or around DR. When we initially booked, we decided that we would not require a meal plan. Upon further research into the area and noting that restaurants were not in walking distance we decided to go with a meal plan.All 16 of us agreed that every meal prepared by Chef Bertrand was very high quality and restaurant like. Unlike resort food, the food had flavor and was of great quality. Everyday we were given different meals (seafood, chicken, steak, ribs, pastas, rice, etc.) Also, Chef Bertrand prepared desserts like Creme Brûlée! The maids were also very kind and kept the house clean. Everyone that stayed enjoyed it very much. We will be returning. AMAZING STAY!

My name is Anders Bogebjerg, and I am part-owner of Lake View Villa. I am a professional (PGA) golf player and former European Junior Champion from Denmark. Before moving to Punta Cana, I was playing golf professionally in Scandinavia and Europe at Challenge Tour level. From 2000, I began working in the traveling industry every winter season for Danish traveling agencies as a golf pro, representative and destination manager. In 2002, my travels took me to the Dominican Republic, where I settled down and bought Palmera Travel together with my wife, Rawnie Hansen. As the years went by, our company grew and expanded into Group Palmera. Today, we specialize in offering luxury vacation rental properties and customizing vacation packages for travelers from around the world.

Why they chose this property

We manage several properties in the area , and when we came to see the Lake View Villa, we fell in love with the place. We love the villa and the unique location and the views, so we took it over and started the complete renovation of the place. Initially it was a 6 bedroom, but we have built a new guest house in the garden with an additional 2 bedrooms, making it an 8 bedroom villa. We have tried to keep the whole renovation of the property in a modern beach-like style, all in white/black with a few touches of color here and there.

What makes this property unique

Lake View Villa is perfect for adults and children - and events. We've had the pleasure of hosting groups of adults only as well as multi-generational families and the villa has always worked well for both types of travelers. We've also hosted small destination weddings and had the ceremony right in the garden. The villa is great, but the staff makes it even better! The service and friendliness of the staff is really what keeps our guests coming back.
