Villa Leone Cabarete.........................................
WHEN DECIDING ON WHICH VILLA TO RENT, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE VILLA HAS A DIESEL GENERATOR BACK UP POWER AND AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH. THIS VILLA DOES.
IT IS A SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE TO INSTALL A 20 KW DIESEL GENERATOR AND MAINTAIN IT IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION, SO, MANY VILLAS RELY ONLY UPON BATTERIES AND INVERTERS OR LITTLE PORTABLE GENERATORS THAT DIE AFTER AN HOUR RUNNING AND CAN NOT RUN THE AIR CONDITIONING. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT THE BATTERIES DISCHARGE AFTER AN HOUR OR SO AND YOU ARE LEFT WITHOUT LIGHTS OR AIR CONDITIONING.
IT IS VERY COMMON TO HAVE POWER OUTAGES IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. IT'S BEST TO BE SURE AND STAY IN A VILLA WITH A DIESEL GENERATOR.
Oceanfront Pool With Swim Up Bar and Hot Tub on the Beach!!!!!
Romance.....
Our romantic villa is ideally located on one of the most beautiful and private beaches on the whole North Coast. Included with the rental is Internet access, computer, maid service, ocean-front pool and air conditioning in all bedrooms.
Windsurfing.....
Surfing, windsurfing and kite surfing are the specialty in Cabarete. It is one of the top ten best places in the world for these sports!
Bar Hopping.....
If your interests are a bit more low energy, beach strolling, dining and bar hopping are also readily available as activities in Cabarete.
Fine Beachfront Dining.....
In the evening, the beachfront in Cabarete becomes the focal point of all activity. You can sit at a table with your bare feet in the sand on the beach as you have cocktails and dinner.
Owner Managed.....
Villa Leone is managed directly by the owner, a full time maid (6 days/week) and a groundskeeper.
Additional Details: Sculpture Garden.........A life size statue of David and another beautiful classic female nude sculpture greet you as you lounge by the pool and enjoy the ocean vistas from Villa Leone's oceanfront patio under the palms. These sculptures were made from molds designed by an Italian sculptor who now resides in Santo Domingo. The sculptures were cast from solid concrete then hand finished and painted to bring them to life as they now stand watch over the breathtaking Villa Leone beach. This unique feature makes Villa Leone one of a kind in Cabarete!
Roof Top Tree House.......Our new tropical thatched roof tree house sits perched atop Villa Leone with a panoramic beach and ocean view. It's the perfect spot to relax with friends and have a few drinks over interesting conversation.
A daybed awaits for that perfect afternoon nap!
On Site Massage......We will schedule a relaxing massage at the place of your choosing...beach, treehouse, villa.
Additional Details: Oceanfront Infinity Pool.......
If you need to cool off from the beautiful sunny, warm weather, our brand new 5' deep infinity pool is the perfect solution. The pool adjoins the bohio and has 4 concrete bar stools in the water along the adjoining bohio bar, allowing your friends in the pool to join you for a drink as you sit on a dry stool under the bohio, in the shade.
Air Conditioning.........
A brand new air conditioning system was recently installed allowing independent temperature control in each bedroom. This is not usually needed in the winter months, but is a welcome retreat from the heat in the summer months. The living room, dining room and kitchen are not air conditioned. All bedrooms are air conditioned
Entertainment at Home........
If all of the above options leave you still looking for more ways to pass your time relaxing at the beach, there is an entertainment center in the living room offering cable TV, DVD player, VCR, CD player and computer with DSL internet.
Additional Details: Sleeping.........
Villa Leone has 5 bedrooms; 4 with ensuite bathrooms. All 5 bedrooms are independently controlled air conditioned..
Beach Bungalow..........
Villa Leone's beach is as close to a private beach as allowed by law. Our private cans roof open air beach bungalow offers guests a serene venue to enjoy the beach just feet from the water's edge.
RECOMENDATIONS FOR ACTIVITIES AND TOURS:
DAY 1; HORSEBACK RIDING BEACH AND MOUNTAINS
If you are renting for a week, a horseback ride on the beach is a nice way to start your vacation, followed by an afternoon in the pool.
DAY 2; BEACH TOUR DAY
Another fantastic way to spend the day is to hire a taxi to do a beach tour. This brings you to several very interesting and fun places including a small farm and a hidden waterfall where you can watch the locals dive from very high perches, The Blue Lagoon, where you can zip line off a cliff and dive into a 70' deep cenote. At the same stop, you can explore an ancient cave.
After the zip lining and swimming, it;s time for lunch on Playa Grande Beach. This beach has been voted as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world! The fresh seafood and chicken on the menu and drinks including coco locos and pina coladas will leave you ready to continue exploring one or two more beaches. I recommend Playa Diamonte where you can find fresh water sulphur springs bubbling up from the sand on the beach and can walk out 300 yards and still be in waste deep calm clear water. Another beautiful beach is Playa Calleton.
DAY 3; MONKEY JUNGLE ZIP LINING
Monkey Jungle is a short 30 minute ride from the villa.
A Taxi can take you there in his van (up to 6).
They have a pretty intense zip line circuit. They also have a really cool monkey habitat where you can feed the small monkeys as they sit on your shoulders and heads and eat out of your hand! If you don't want to zipline, you can just do the monkey jungle and sit at the bar to wait for the zip liners to return.
DAY 4; CABARETE BEACH MASSAGE AND SHOPPING
A day at Cabarete beach is a very relaxing way to pass a day in this wonderful beach town. Many of the establishments will not charge you to use their beach chairs if you buy a drink or snack from them. While on the beach, there are vendors in blue shirts that are licensed to give massages and pedicures on the beach.
It's a must to have an on beach massage followed by a mani-pedi while drinking a cold beer or pina colada. Very relaxing indeed! There are also many shops to explore in town if you need a break from the beach.
DAY 5; PRIVATE CHEF AT VILLA AND MASSAGE
If you are tired of having fun away from the villa, hire our private chef to indulge you with their fantastic meals throughout the day and night. They will meet you the day before to prepare the menu for the next day and stock the fridge with groceries necessary to prepare breakfast the next morning. After breakfast, they will prepare the menu you desire for lunch and dinner then go shopping. This is beyond any doubt most guest's favorite experience during their stay! If you want the ultimate in relaxation, couple the chef experience with a full day of massages, manicures and pedicures poolside or on the beach and you are in for a real treat.
DAY 6; SOSUA BEACH AND PUERTO PLATA CABLE CAR
A morning ride into Puerto Plata to take the cable car to the top of Isabella del Torres is a memorable experience. The views from the top of the mountain are breathtaking! There are also trails and gardens that you explore on top, as well as a little restaurant.
After the cable car, ask your taxi driver to take you to the old fort where you can learn a little history about the area. Then, on to the Amber museum.
After the Amber Museum, a little snorkelling and lunch at Sosua Beach will be a great way to wrap up your week. The shopping at Sosua Beach is much more affordable than in Cabarete.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
Other suggestions that can be explored in addition to or instead of those listed above are Ocean World, 27 Waterfalls, a visit to Santo Domingo, quad tour of the mountains and beach, mountain biking, kite surfing, surfing, sailing, deep sea fishing, catamaran snorkeling, night out in Sosua and Cabarete, UFO Museum, Brugal Rum factory tour, Rio San Juan Boat Ride..........The options are endless. You can even climb the tallest peak in the Caribbean; Pico Duarte!

8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
The stay was good, Jeremy (maintenance) is top notch, he was there everyday and made us a fire on the beach! The view of the ocean is blocked from the outdoor areas and the 1st floor by a big black cloth fence (the only one on the beach) and the pathway to get to the beach is not flat and difficult for older family members to navigate. The pool waterfall was broken until the last day of our stay, most of the outdoor lounge chairs were broken (we did eventually get different ones) After multiple times of asking for the lounge cushion (the red circle in the photos on the description) we never received it to use. The hot tub only had 1 spot of the jets working. There was a large cement slab with sharp rocks around it that you had to walk over/around to get to the beach. There is no light above the dining table (Tupperware siliconed to the ceiling to catch drips, they fell and soaked the table a few times, do not leave items on the table) We just drug the lamp from the corner of the living room closer to the table to be able to dine. The cleaning ladies came every other day. The biggest disappointment was no view of the ocean unless on higher floors and the difficulty getting to the beach. Frank answered messages quickly, the house needs some repairs and updates to be as described in the listing, no ocean view unless on higher floors and difficult access to the beach over the debris and uneven surface. It is not flat to the ocean like shown on listing. The trip was great overall.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2025
We had a wonderful time at Villa Leone. It is right on the beach and has a great pool. The property is old but everything works. The beds are super comfy and the kitchen has all of the things you need (appliances and utensils). The pool and hot tub were clean and the staff swept up and kept the house and outside area in good shape. Jeremy the grounds keeper even got the kids coconuts from a tree on the property. There is a lovely spot for a morning coffee to watch the sunrise from at the top floor deck. However the staircase to get to it is pretty sketchy. The air conditioners in the rooms worked great but it definitely needs AC in the main areas as well. It’s was too hot and if we left the doors open for the lovely breeze, we got eaten by mosquitoes. There are quirky statues everywhere that kind of fit the place perfectly. The location is great if you don’t need to go anywhere but otherwise you need to get a taxi every single time you want to go to eat or do anything. We used Edward who was recommended by the host and he was super responsive and pretty consistent on his prices. We used him for everything, including a super fun day tour of some local beaches and a plantain visit. I personally don’t like getting my own toilet paper and paper towel and dish soap etc. but we have had to do that a few places. I also would have liked to be able to wash a few items of clothing or have the staff do it at least once during our stay. Frank was a good host and overall we loved it!
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2025
Everything was wonderful, we all had a great time, Villa very comfortable as well as pool and beachfront. Water was pretty rough but still ok. Jeremy and Mercedes were very accommodating and friendly. Yeny cooked for us 2 days the most amazing meals, she also did a pig roast and bonfire on the beach which was fantastic. All in all would return again.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2019
Frank the owner answered all questions and was so easy to get a hold of. The staff at the property were attentive and very helpful. The house had great space and location was great. We did a number of recommended excursions and all were fun. We did horseback riding on the beach, ATV, and took a boat ride. We did a bonfire on the property and had one of the guys get us some coconuts from the backyard. We’d probably go back if it wasn’t for one thing. The only downside was that there were some insects in the house roaches, water bugs and huge spiders. To be fair, the owner and staff were willing to use a spray to help with the problem. However the can had a warning label that it shouldn’t be used around children. I had my 2 kids with me and wasn't willing to chance it. I’d probably go back if it wasn’t for that.
