Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Playa Costambar

This was our second stay (3 years apart) at George's place. We went back for a reason. He's got a great spot with up to two bedrooms (king beds & ensuites). Love the ground floor, private access and the 15' to the infinity pool. An elevator takes you down to the large, private beach (there is no external access because of large, natural, volcanic rock barriers at each end. There are two outside showers to rinse off sand. The area is a group of resorts set off from the main highway making it somewhat private and a good security detail ensures only guests are on-site. There is a large, modern kitchen & sitting & eating area, with a powder room. There are ceiling fans everywhere and air-conditioning in the bedrooms. A barbecue is also supplied in the private entryway. The Laguna Grotto bar/grill serves excellent food, reasonably priced. All staff are courteous and well-trained. The drive from the airport only took about 25 minutes. Drive carefully.

Great place great value will stay again

came here on a solo surf trip, it was perfect. I wanted a low key place that wasn't a resort. This is a one bedroom apartment in a quiet safe location tucked away with a great outdoor space. The kitchen has all the basics to cook your own meals. The AC works well, it's in the bedroom only, but the house was cool when I came back from the beach every day (with the AC off), there's also a clean pool to cool off in. There's a fan in the kitchen as well if you need a breeze while cooking! The shower has hot water and decent pressure. Easy 5-10 min walk to the food park, a bakery/breakfast, and 2 convenience stores, and an ATM. Most importantly it's a 5-10 min walk to the beach. Absolutely highly recommend for a solo traveler/couple. I felt safe here and walked to the beach alone and to/from the shop at night. Eve was soooo helpful and very responsive! Her place looks exactly like the photos. Thank you so much Eve!!!

We had a great stay in Puerto Plata. The apartment is really small, but we spent most of our time outside. It's just across the street from the malecon, (although there's no windows to see the ocean). Everything is walkable; restaurants all around, less than 10 minutes to a supermarket, or the downtown tourist area. Some family came in on a cruise ship one day, and it was only 20 minutes to walk to the port to meet them. Half an hour walk down the malecon takes you to Cosita Rica beach, with wonderful white sand, chairs, umbrellas, restaurant... The hosts were the best ever! They even met us at the bus station and helped us with our bags. Very friendly and kind. They have a couple other places in Puerto Plata; we'd recommend them any day!

My family and I were very comfortable in Ronaldo's apartment. He also has good customer service and is very family friendly. The location of the apartment is incredible. The only downside for us was that it doesn't have private parking and we should park on the front street. And of course we would return to this property.

Great place to stay, host was very responsive when needed & place was secure.

I could write an essay about the hospitality I received. Will definitely be back. Love the security of the place. Only complaints I have is the size of the pans that were available but that’s only cause I cook for myself. Although considering how responsive they were I’m sure I could’ve gotten a bigger skillet if I asked. Great place and location will definitely be back soon. Highly appreciative of Mairobi.

Apartment was very spacious and clean. Had a great view of the Ocean and beach and was within walking of many restaurants. Trisha was great in showing the apartment and explained how everything worked. Had great security 24 hours in gated area for the safe parking of the car.

Here's a review based on your input: --- I had an incredible stay at this private villa! The views were absolutely breathtaking, making every moment spent there truly special. The cleaning crew was amazing and went above and beyond to ensure everything was spotless and comfortable. I was particularly impressed with the front desk staff, who were always responsive and attentive to any questions or requests I had. Their professionalism and friendliness added to the overall fantastic experience. I highly recommend this villa for anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway. ---

The accommodation was in excellent clean and hygienic conditions. Quite quiet, ideal for resting. 100% recommended. The host is always attentive to any concerns

It was an excellent and comfortable place.

Jaay was such a great host! Very responsive at any time & always provided us with restaurant recommendations as well as other activities. The house was spotless and so spacious! We had a group of 8 and there was more than enough room. I’d definitely recommend this beautiful home to friends/family.

Thank you for an awesome hospitality. excellent location and friendly staff.

Barbra was a great host, she was always there to answer all our questions and was very welcoming, Nana is also great she took great care of us. Look forward to staying at one of Barbra’s homes again!

Great place. very comfortable

If you’re looking to visit Puerto Plata and want to have enjoyable stay, packed with activities. You’re in the right place! Definitely good value for your money. The photos don’t do justice to the house! Totally enjoyed our stay and Franchesca’s help was a huge part of it! Her recommendations are superb! We definitely would be coming back and staying at Franchesca’s.

Beautiful apartment and friendly hosts who were great at communicating and super helpful. Things to know - they have a water pump, so water pressure was not great late at night. One bedroom has no central air, but the other two do. Apartment is on the top floor, so know you have to take stairs. Overall it was a good experience. Very happy to find a place local to the umbrella steet and pink street, and some really good restaurants. Happy too with the hosts and the information they provided.

A great apartment with a great pool. It was as described and I was enjoying my stay until AirB&B extracted me without an explanation. The host asked me to stay more than once after AirB&B told me to leave without an explanation!

I had a wonderful 2 weeks in this green paradise! The bungalow is very clean and spacious with good illumination . This time of the year you can watch sunrise right from the bed. There are 2 bungalows there which are separated by green fence of plants and a swimming pool, so you have privacy . And it's very peaceful and quiet there all day long . It's just a gem ! Babette was very helpful with every little detail and she went far and beyond by picking me up and dropping me off at the bus station . Very recommended !

Martin is a great host, he invited me out for a drink when I arrived, and on arrival he provided a few nice welcoming drinks and toiletries. The pros of the apartment were the cleanliness, the air conditioning, the swimming pool, the apartment complex is similar to a hotel so there are places on site to get food and drinks. It's also a nice place to meet people as there is a fun atmosphere around the place. Martin the host is also great at responding to your messages and always tries to help out with your questions. The cons are the wifi, the wifi is better in the bedroom but not strong enough in the rest of the apartment if you're going to work. If you're there on holiday then its no problem. The wifi around the complex works great though, by the pool, in the reception etc. And Martin did his best to offer alternative places for me to work. And also having to pay for cleaning the bed sheets was a con or not having them replaced. Overall, I would recommend staying there for sure!

Lovely place and very attentive host

I booked to stay one month.But had to leave 10 days early due to a death in family.But the apartment was great. I felt secure even though there is no security. They have a locking front gate .And windows and front door have gates on them. The plants and trees on property were beautiful. I really felt at home there.Marlon and his entire family were great friends to me .And It is on a quiet block and close to everything. I would love to stay there again.

Best place to stay to be close to many good areas. Hot water, ac, nice and clean. Has a gate safe and families around
