Residencial Casa Linda

Don’t not fall for the membership scam they are trying to convince people that this is a good deal you will be locked in and unable to get a refund if you don’t want to finish the transaction so be aware

Villa was dated with dirty furniture, windows and doors that didn’t lock, toilet in one bath didn’t work and we needed to fix, shower head in master bath was a trickle, no hot water for three days, kept being told to run it longer but propane tank was actually empty, lights around pool step missing with wires hanging out, linens old, bedspread with holes. Housekeeping was good but kept missing one room. Ground and landscaping was beautiful and well maintained

We rented a villa in the Casa Linda community through a 3rd party, Casa Coco Tropical Villas, as Casa Linda doesn't rent villas directly. We rented the Perla villa (#862). The villa was very nice; clean and well-maintained. While smaller than I expected from the pictures, it was perfect for our needs - two couples for a week. The location, near a road, sometimes caused distractions, but the road is NOT busy so those distractions were few and far between. It is within walking distance of the Casa Linda Welcome Center, which made it convenient and easy for us as we got together with several sets of people during our time there and we’d just tell them to meet outside the Welcome Center. Again, convenient and easy for all of us. The villa itself is well laid out, with bedrooms on either side of the main living room / kitchen area. One bedroom had an ensuite, while the other used the ‘common’ bathroom with a door just outside the bedroom. Since there were two couples, we just treated the ‘common’ bathroom as if it was an ensuite for the 2nd bedroom. Both bedrooms have sliding doors out to the pool area but, honestly, we never used them. We kept the two sets of sliding doors in the main living area open almost all the time, but tried to keep the bedrooms a bit cooler by keeping them closed up. Both bedrooms also had in-room safes which we liked. The pool was cleaned every day, in the morning. There was also a pool net which we used ourselves periodically just to get the bugs and leaves out that tended to randomly drop in during the day. At night the place was very nice, with lights above the bar, above the outdoor dining table, as well as in the pool. The pool has a shallow area, which is apparently supposed to be used for lounge chairs. We weren’t comfortable putting the wicker-like chairs in there and instead used it to walk around while enjoying a drink or a cigar (or both) in the evenings. The pool area also had a half bath to use while enjoying the pool area. We did have one fairly significant maintenance issue during our stay. The refrigerator stopped cooling one day, resulting in the loss of quite a bit of food. Strangely, the freezer continued to work fine. We moved as much food as we could out to the outside bar refrigerator, but that unit is quite small and we weren’t able to get it all in. The Casa Coco people got there pretty quickly (within an hour or two of contacting them) but they weren’t able to repair it. It took until late in the day before they were able to get a refrigerator repair person in to affect the repair. This resulted in us tossing $50 or $60 worth of food, including some that had been prepared by Chef Rocio’s team (more on that below), which didn’t make us happy, but we survived. Since I mentioned Chef Rocio, I’ll offer this one last suggestion: I highly recommend you connect with Chef Rocio and have her or her team make you a meal. They will make you way more food than you can possibly eat, but it is so darn good t

Yep, disgusting American P*ssy Parties going on & owners are making $$$_ pimping out homes! Sosua is a complete disgusting cesspool! It's shameful how young Dominican Republic women are being exploited! Somebody finally had to say it! 😱

We celebrated my cousins bachelorette party here, we had the most amazing time. The staff was so accommodating, the property was beautiful. Overall we had the best experience here, and it was because of the most amazing staff so kind and generous.

Casa Linda offers a great alternative to the standard all-inclusive resorts in Dominican Republic. The individual casitas with private pool are welcoming, clean and comfortable. Resort staff are all really nice and accommodating. Casa Linda offers revolving daily bus service to the best, least crowded beaches in the area. We'd definitely stay here again!

I rented an AirBnB in Phase 7 of the complex. It was fairly newly constructed and there was construction taking place next door and down the road. The complex is pretty big (9 phases in all) but at no time did I see a great amount of people or feel crowded in any sense. It is my understand that out of approximately 300 villas, about 100 are owned and lived in and the remainder are available for short stays by visitors. While driving up to the property, it appeared to be isolated down a quiet road. In reality, there are many places within a 3-5 minute car or shuttle (complimentary by Casa Linda) ride. There is security both at the entrance and visible walking around the property during the evenings. Our villa (2 bedrooms, private pool and furnished patio) was very clean, spacious and very comfortable. All of the necessary amenities were included and there were safety boxes in each bedroom. There were small ants outside of the villa but not much of a nuisance inside and not uncommon in places located near the woods or beach. I will note that the bedrooms had both A/C and fans, while the living room only had fans. Wasn't much of an issue during our January stay but during the warmer months, could be a bit toasty even with the doors open. On-site was a wonderful restaurant (that served actual Dominican food in addition to other country dishes), a small grocery store and a water park. The staff all around was super helpful and there were local tours available for purchase. Casa Linda will be my go-to place when visiting the Puerta Plata area. Enjoy!
