The accommodations at Harmony were ideal for our family of 4. We were met by Sonja when we arrived and she gave us our keys and went over basics. Then we had the week of privacy to ourselves. I did email once about garbage disposal, and she was extremely fast at replying and was attentive to our needs. The rental is just as pictured, although my only comment is that the bathrooms seem to need slight care (for example rusting towel bars), but our family only used one bathroom and two bedrooms. It is beautifully decorated and the owner noticabley put time and money into this rental. There was plenty of space and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything. The grocery store is nearby, we walked via the street but walking the beach home was preferable when we were only picking up a few things. The restaurants were decent - definitely a laid back atmosphere and no shoes necessary at meals when dining at the beach. The condo was perfectly adjacent to the gorgeous pool where we spent most of our time. We went on some excursions (Monkey Jungle, Zip Lining, Dune Buggies, and Ocean World) and there was some traveling for those places (approx. 45 min-1 hour) but not to long for our 5 and 6 year old and well worth the time. We also spent a day at Sosua Beach-which was too populated and busy for our taste, but still something different. It was only 15 minutes away so not a bad experience and the beach was calmer and clear for snorkeling. We dressed up and went back to that area for dinner one night, but found no classier restaurants that would suit what we were looking for, and it wasn’t an ideal area to be with the little ones at night so we went back to Cabarete Beach where there were other options, shoeless of course! It is difficult to deny the peddlers selling jewelry, cigars, or hair braiding while seated at meals, but they generally respect a polite “no thank you.” If you know what to expect from the Dominican Republic in general, Cabarete and this Harmony rental are beautiful and we enjoyed our vacation very much.
