Little paradise
Villa Pachuco is a little paradise hidden in an alley just a short walk from the beach. The villa consists of the main house with 3 bedrooms and a separate bungalow on the property. There are 2 pools, one for swimmers and one suitable for smaller kids. There is a cleaning service everyday except sunday ans the owner of the property is very kind and helpful.

Superbe villa
Nous étions 10 personnes dont 4 adultes et 6 enfants, c'était notre première expérience de voyage avec une villa. Nous avons tout simplement adoré, la villa est superbe et très propre, à proximité de la ville, de la plage. Le terrain aussi est magnifique avec sa piscine qui possède 2 coté séparé creux et pas creux parfait pour soit nager / sauter ou sois chiller dans le pas creux. La maison est très sécuritaire avec son terrain cloturer te le portail à l'entrée. Nous avons manquer de rien, la villa est vraiment adapté au visiteur. Le propriétaire ainsi que le responsable sont très à l'écoute. J'y retournerai sans hésitation! Je la recommande assurément

Great Location
Fantastic villa in superb location, about 10 mins walk to the wonderful beach. Accommodation was great for our 3 families and the pool and gardens ideal for the children. Day to day housekeeping was provided by China and was on the whole fine, although there was a shortage of toilet rolls at one point! The manager Arnaud was also very responsive although voice messages rather than direct conversations was a little frustrating at times. Villa Pachuco could be a 5* property but does need upgrades to kitchen and bathrooms before it would gain that accolade in my opinion. Also the chairs and sofas are all stone built with a relatively thin cushion on top so there is nowhere really to sit and be comfortable for any length of time. But overall a great location and we had a really good time there!

A wonderful week in a great location. There is an issue with mosquitoes especially at the start and end of the day. Next time I'd bring better repellant than available locally and maybe some other counter measures; light traps or bed nets.

Villa Pachucho is a beautiful property very close to the beach. The pictures describe the property perfectly. The food cooked by the local staff was amazing. The beaches are pristine and various to choose from. There are several restaurants to walk to. I would definitely stay there again.

Gut: Sauberkeit, Ausstattung und Zustand der Unterkunft
The villa was beautiful, well located and close to the beach and also had a lovely pool. We were 9 people and the villa was spacious and very comfortable. We organized a meal for New Year's Eve that was prepared by Nokerli and China and it was very tasty and nicely served. However there were two negatives: when we ran out of toilet tissue we were told we had to supply it ourselves. Considering what it cost to rent the villa for a week, that was ridiculous! The other negative factor was that Las Terrenas was shabby and had a lot of garbage on the streets. Indeed, there was a lot of litter, such as plastic bottles and paper cups, on the beach. That was a shame! Otherwise, our families had a great vacation and enjoyed themselves.

Great Tropical Holiday home
This is an ideal property for convivial family/friends holiday. Great open kitchen adjacent to very spacious indoor & outdoor sitting/dining area. We had great BBQ evenings, enjoyed the pool, close to the beach, close to the village to get fresh bread in the morning and walking distance from stunning beach night life !!! Great for young and old !!

El unico detalle que puedo mencionar en tono positivo es que el aire de la habitacion principal enfria muy poco

Fantastic for families
We booked this property because the house looked amazing and I have to say - it does not disappoint! We were 5 adults and 6 kids and everyone had their own space! The pool was amazing and we really enjoyed it! The manager of the property, Merlin, was very responsive and super friendly! She let us know which apps to download to order food and anything else we needed! China and her daughter cooked for us everyday, mostly for breakfast and dinner and they were magical and magnificent! So so thoughtful and we always had a surprise that was unexpected and delicious. The house is super close to the beach and a few cool restaurants. We never closed the doors within the house itself, just the outside gates, and we felt totally safe. We felt right at home! Thank you

Villa Pachuco is a beautiful home, large rooms and bathrooms. The house is well kept, beautiful gardens, perfect swimming pool for good swimmers. The area is safe, residential, 7 minutes walk to Playa Ballenas and 1/2 by car to Playa Bonita ( private beach). The housekeepers very friendly, helpful, excellent cooking, kept the house spotless. We enjoyed our vacation and plan to come back soon.

Matched expectations
We were a family of 7 going to the Dominican Republic in February 2020 for 14 days. Before going we had a really good communication with Richard (the owner), and a week before flying I was concated by AIC (a local company in Las Terrenas handling in/out-checking, questions during the stay etc). Richard was excellent. He answered very quickly and made everything so easy. The cleaning was ok, but behind stow, refrigerator, wires etc it was dirty-but we were very relaxed about it and didn’t think bad about it. The cleaning lady’s name is China and you can also book her and her daughter to cook and get grosseries during the stay. That is a must! Very good food and so relaxing. In average we spend 3.000 pesos per day in grosseries for 5 adults and 2 kids. That’s including breakfast, lunch and dinner. The house is a really cool outdoor living place with good space. The pool is nice to cool down in and was a hit among our kids. From AIC we had Eduardo as contact and he was really a good service minded man that you could ask everything you needed to know. He helped us with booking tours, getting ATV’s etc. and he spoke English. English is not that common, so you are much better of with Spanish. Mosquitoes are present, but not in the number I expected-it was fewer then expected. The location was good. Really calm. It took 5 min and 24 sec to walk to the beach. And what a beach! Always calm as it was inside the reefs. A mixture of sand, coral, seaweeds and rocks made bathing and snorkeling really good. We went to different beaches in Dom Rep and to be honest-the beach 5-6 min away from the house were among my favorites. The town of Las Terrenas is a typical Caribbean town with noisy scooters/traffic, garbage laying around and a good welcoming atmosphere with good food and drinks. Despite garbage and traffic it is charming. From the house it took 20 min to walk. Never felt unsafe or threatened in any way. The nearest Supermarket was 30 minutes walk away. A rented ATV or Scooter are preferable. I’m a cigar smoker and I had heard that cigars were expensive in Dom Rep due to taxes etc, and they were. In Europe it is cheaper to purchase cigars from Dom Rep then buying them in the two cigar stores in Las Terrenas. Disappointing. Overall I can recommend the house, the owner and the location. It is an authentical Caribbean experience you get.

pleasant stay
The house was nice and China was great. The big downside is that the property is described as steps to the ocean/beach. It was not. We had to drive about 5 minutes through not so pretty roads, etc. to get to the beach. There was also behind the house a big swamp of of water and garbage which we believe is why there were so many mosquitos in the house. Would be great if that would be cleaned for health reasons and if the description of the location of the property was more accurate. But the house overall is in good shape and has many good things.

We had a wonderful time
We just recently returned from Villa Pachuco and the trip was amazing. We stayed at the villa for 8 days and found ourselves on a different beach each day. So the location was good to go west to playa Coson or east to playa Moron. We rented a car so we were able to go to the waterfalls and the zip lines without any problems. Then came the best part. After a long day of doing absolutely nothing but relaxing, we would return home and find the table set and dinner ready. China and her help were amazing. Our favorite was the bbq. Overall it was a perfect trip. The lights went out twice and the backup didn’t come on, but it was only for about 10 minutes and after living in the Dominican for 2 years, it was not a big deal at all. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your villa. We had an incredible time.

Perfect setup for our group!
Villa Pachuco's grounds and architecture are absolutely beautiful. It was very convenient to have a bathroom connected to each bedroom. The spacious living and dining room areas allowed us to spread out comfortably. The pool was a highlight, but the best part of the vacation was hiring China and her daughter to prepare meals. The food was delicious, and so much easier than trying to get a large group out to a restaurant! Each morning, when they came to do the daily housework, we would talk about what we would like for dinner, they would shop, and a spread of food magically appeared on the table at our requested time. What a treat! They presented their receipts and we reimbursed them for the food each day, so you will need to have pesos/cash on hand for that. We ate most of our lunches on the beach, because you can use the beach chairs and tables if you buy food and drinks from one of the variety of vendors. We spent most of our time at Playa Ballenas, a 5-10 minute walk from the villa (head away from town). We enjoyed a couple of excursions with Flora Tours, and we took several walks into town (15-20 minutes) to shop and get treats. It wasn't easy to get a taxi to come out to the house, but as soon as you walk down to the main road, you can get a taxi very quickly - or hop on the back of a scooter. Notes that might be helpful for future guests: We used the taxi service from SDQ offered by Richard, it was the best deal we found, with a prompt and friendly driver. We were grateful for the good supply of bath and beach towels on hand at the house; you don't need to bring your own. You might want to pack your own pillow, if a fluffy pillow is a priority for you. We were also happy that we brought a good supply of mosquito repellent, because the open air living spaces meant that the mornings and evenings were extremely buggy. There is a washer on site, but no dryer. Having a Spanish speaker with the group was very helpful for coordinating logistics, English is not universally understood. The main house's hot water system went out intermittently; my understanding is that it's a solar powered system, and because the weather wasn't great while we were there, there was an auxiliary system that needed to be activated (by pushing a button on the power panel...ask one of the staff members to show you where so you can be sure to have hot showers!). There is a water cooler, and 5-gallon jugs are delivered to the house daily. Thanks for a great vacation!

Villa was inhabitable for half of the stay, owner doesn't reimburse
We stayed at Villa Pachuco from July 19th and the plan was to stay until July 26th. The villa is ok, nice garden, decent pool, etc., lacks some maintenance, however the property manager answered pretty fast to fix what was necessary. July 21st in the night we had a blackout, nothing unusual in Las Terrenas or Dominican Republic, but the inverter (backup power batteries) didn't kick in to provide electricity, so we were in the (pitch) dark. I asked the security guard about it who went looking for the key of the room where the inverter was, however before he found it the power came back on. Next day we checked the inverter and noticed the switch had been down, so we put it up, to make sure it would kick in in case of a new black out. Friday 22nd at 8pm, the power went out again, again no inverter that kicked in, power came back after half an hour, I went checking the inverter again and noticed the back up batteries were completely dried out. Power went out again a few minutes later and this time it didn't com back. Security guard told me the batteries actually didn't provide for more than 1 or 2 hours anyway (which is weird because in my own setup at home with 4 equal batteries I get at least 12 hours). We spend the night without electricity, no fans, no light, no running water. Because of being extremely hot we (4 adults and 6 children) had a difficult night for not having air conditioner or at least a fan. After we woke up we were told by the lady that would come to clean and a guy from the village that the power outages were due to sabotages and it would take probably until Monday for it to be repaired. Having no back up power whatsoever we realized we couldn't stay until Monday without electricity. Without being able to take showers, to use a refrigerator, being pitch dark after 8pm. The property manager came and she acknowledged that the villa was inhabitable without power and also told us it was unclear when the power would come back and likely it would last until after the weekend. We asked her to reimburse the remaining three nights so we could look for another place to spend the remainder of our vacations. She said she could not take that decision and we had to take it up with the owner. We contacted the owner, who said he regretted our experience but his policy was to not reimburse any money. I obviously don't agree with that position and am looking into the steps I need to take locally here in DR to recover my loss.
