OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
• Electricity is Extra and Based on Consumption. The Dominican Republic is a developing country and it has challenges in regard to cost effective electricity distribution. Therefore, to encourage renters to conserve electricity during their stay, they will be responsible for electricity charges during their stay. Also, this allows us to offer lower rates since we do not have to include more $$$ per night to take electricity consumption into consideration
• We will verify the electricity meter readings before check-in and after check-out to determine your electricity usage. You will then be charged for actual usage. It is very simple - you pay for what you consume. We read the meter at check in and read again prior to check out. The meter can be self-monitored daily. The rate is USD $0.35 per kw/h.
• Normal consumption is USD $5 to USD $10/day. Above average consumption usually will not exceed USD $20/day. Ultimately this up to you and your consumption. You will be charged for your consumption which may exceed the amounts indicated above.
• We collect an ELECTRICITY DEPOSIT. It is just a DEPOSIT, real consumption calculated at the end of your stay and deducted from the DEPOSIT PAID. Refund will be processed within 48 hours after check-out.
• RENTALS 30 DAYS OR LESS: USD $20 per night
• RENTALS MORE THAN 30 DAYS: USD $500 per booking. Every 30 days we will read the meter and collect payment for the consumption.

DISCOUNTS
• There is a 5% weekly discount or a 10% monthly discount - from the rental rate. We apply these discounts automatically after you book and prior to processing the payment.

  Bryon H from Reynoldsburg, OH recommends this vacation rental

  I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the condo. The location was great and close to the beach which is what I was looking for. The location was quiet and the security was very good. Private beach was nice and cozy. Only problems I ran into were the roaming dogs owned by condo owners who attacked me causing a leg injury that slowed me down a few days. I fell down a stair trying to get away from one of the crazy dogs. Notified management and they seemed to get the owners to comply with keeping them from roaming around. Also, the water pressure wasn’t the greatest, but overall I was pleased with the property and would definitely rent again. Staff was very helpful and professional. Even given the crazy dog situation , I loved the place. Also, it would be nice if the guards could call taxis for guest . I did use the taxi driver the management sent to pick me up from the airport. He was great and very professional . Would highly recommend . Thanks!

  Great property for a beach vacation. The building is practically on the beach. Property was clean and well cared for.
  It was a little confusing, finding the property because we arrived after dark, but once we knew where we we going it was fine. A car is recommended, but not necessary. The only issues we had were the lack of water pressure for showering and having to climb the stairs with our luggage, both minor inconveniences for us.

  This was a fantastic rental. The condo was beautiful with all new appliances. We really enjoyed our stay. The condo is on the 3rd . floor, that was the only hiccup... but I needed the exercise. The mgmt. company was fantastic. We arrived after the check-in time and they were very gracious and accommodating. I will definitely book with Go Punta Cana Rental and I would stay here again!

  Johann N from Steinbach, MB recommends this vacation rental

  The place was very clean when we arrived. Everything was in place and had all the information we needed for contacts and information around the area was layed out on the table. Enough drink water was there ready for us, they had enough towels folded nicely ready for us. The location was very good, the Beach was right outside when we stepped out. The door handle caused us problems but they were there very fast and fixed in no time. The beach was a little bit dirty though, on the right side of our building there were scraps of wood and broken palm trees that could have easily been cleaned up. There was also quite a bit of washed up seaweed on our beach that could also easily be cleaned up. There was also a building either under construction or damaged that was close to us and just wasn't a good view to see it there.

  Andrew J from Bethesda, MD recommends this vacation rental

  My wife and I and our kids (ages 7 and 9) spent four days at this apartment in January 2018. We were pleased overall, but there were pros and cons.
  
  PROS
  
  - Spacious, clean, modern, and well-appointed apartment, with plenty of storage.
  - Property management company was professional, friendly, and responsive. When we lost hot water, they sent someone to fix the problem the same day.
  - Building is located in a gated area with a security guard, so feels safe.
  - Very convenient access to the beach.
  - Private beach area comes with free lounge chairs. No need to worry about umbrellas since the palm trees provide shade.
  - Grocery store is a 10-15 minute walk from the apartment.
  - Several beach restaurants within easy walking distance.
  - No need to change money. Dollars and credit cards are widely accepted.
  - Electricity usage in the apartment didn't add up to much. Four days of use (no air conditioning) came to just $10.
  
  CONS
  
  - Apartment is located on the 4th floor, with no elevator. Total of 54 steps. Could be a challenge for those with strollers, for example.
  - Wifi in the apartment was weak and dropped frequently.
  - Lots of noise from the neighboring resort. We had to close the windows at night in the bedroom facing the resort.
  - Next door apartment on the same floor was being renovated during our stay. Hammers and buzz saws started at 8:00 AM every morning.
  - Hot water was limited, and water pressure in the showers was very low.
  - Kitchen is well stocked with utensils but lacks basic cooking amenities (like salt and pepper).
  - Walk to the grocery store is not particularly pleasant (narrow sidewalks, poorly lit street, and heavy vehicular traffic).
  - Lots of seaweed on the beach (and in the water), which channels foot traffic to a relatively narrow path. When I made sandcastles with my kids, people walking along the beach were practically stepping on us.
  - Grocery store lac

  Tracey H from Chicago, Illinois recommends this vacation rental

  The condo was very well maintained and spotless. It is literally steps from the beach. You even get a view of the water from the balcony. The breeze from the balcony made it so we didnt have to use the ac once! Had couple of hiccups, broken chair on balc and sheets too small for mattress. Sent an email and IMMEDIATELY both things were taken care of. Even brought a third chair since there were three of us, with the tags still on them. Building secure with gatekeeper. Restaurants on the beach. 10 min walk to pharmacy, market, best dinner at Citrus, great coffee at Dalias. Cant wait to come back!

  Kathleen I from Blackstone, MA recommends this vacation rental

  My husband and I and two adult children spent 6 days in this condo. We had the best time. The condo is beautiful and in great condition. We loved being centrally located and right on the beach. We had fun exploring all the local restaurants. In the morning we would get up and walk on the beach and head into town for some breakfast. The team at GoPunta Cana realty was so friendly and helpful. I would book this same location for our vacation next year.

  Kyle K from San Marcos, Ca recommends this vacation rental

  Don Roque is a wonderful place to experience Punta Cana. Centrally located, however, off the beaten path. Literally. We could walk to shops and restaurants, yet the property is tucked away from the main road. 24/7 security.
  The private beach was awesome. No one to bother you. We had plenty of space to relax by ourselves. The condo itself has all the upgrades. The rooms were clean, the kitchen was modern, the internet and television were above average. Morning coffee on the balcony was divine!!! The property management company was punctual, thorough, and accessible. Professional all the way! Will stay here again.

  I had a wonderful time. Everyone on the property was extremely nice. The condo was very comfortable and clean. I had no issues with water, air conditioning... etc. The view from the balcony was amazing. The beach and all the wonderful shops are just steps away. Me and my fiance had a great time. Next time we will definitely bring the kids.
