Reviewer Comments:
The unit at Estrella Del Mar was great. The furniture and decor were very classy. There was plenty of space for the four adults and three children that we had there during our stay. Things that we loved about the condo: Great swimming pools, friendly people in the complex (mostly Americans/English speakers), lots of outdoor space on three decks, great location within easy walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and market. Things we didn't like: the beds were REALLY firm (I ended up sleeping on the couch a couple of nights because my back was too sore--which is the only reason I didn't give the place 5 stars), the "beach towels" were really just bath towels, they provided very minimal supplies (minimal toilet paper, 1 liter of water, no laundry detergent).Overall, I would highly recommend this unit--especially if you like firm mattresses. It's a really nice place in a great location. We were very happy we chose to stay in a condo rather than an all-inclusive. We liked the flexibility to eat our own food, and try different restaurants. We LOVED Ristarante Pastrata which was just at the end of the street. Seriously. That food was GOOD! We also drove about 15 minutes up to Playa Macao, which was a not-so-crowded public beach away from all the all-inclusives. It was beautiful and mostly deserted.The management company was very helpful, providing last-minute late check-in, and letting us check out at noon with no extra cost. They also came immediately when we called about an issue with the A/C. They took a $30/night deposit for electricity when we checked in. We set the thermastat at 80 degrees, and only paid $20 total for all four nights we were there. We were very happy with our stay. If I was going back to Punta Cana, I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
