well, what can I say? First things first. Do not get suckered into buying a meal plan from the hotel. The food was mediocre at best. Overcooked entrees were a standard and the "asparagus salad" consisted of a few old crushed leaves of iceberg lettuce, and two spears of canned asparagus, sliced lengthwise. You get the picture. I think the... more

Villas Jazmin will appeal to a select number of travelers. The hotel is in a residential neighborhood and is about 4 blocks from the beach. I noticed several people said it was two, but they must live in cities with really long blocks. There are no ocean breezes to keep things cool or mosquitos and other insects at bay. The... more

Villas Jazmin is the perfect place for those seeking a quiet, relaxing vacation. It is not a four star hotel with all the amenities, but a small residence with plenty of charm. We stayed in a one bedroom villa which had a couch, kitchen table with chairs, refridgerator and a microwave. Cable tv and a DVD player along with a... more

I had a blast at Villas Jazmin. Puerto Plata is secluded, private village situated in a lagoon with a lot of expensive mansions nearby. I was there in January and the greenery and the flowers were in abundance. The water is light green and warm even at this time of the year. There are barely any waves, so swimming is... more

Arrival at Puerto Plata airport – There were 4 more flights arriving at the same time,12/24/05 at 2:30 pm , and the line for immigration was extremely long. First we had to stay in a line to buy the immigration card: $ 10. Secondly we had to wait in the line for the immigration officer. It took around 45 minutes... more

The Dominican Republic is gorgeous and the beaches in the area are not over-crowded. The property of Club Villas Jazmin is well maintained and is clean. Do not expect to arrive at a hotel that is standard of the United States. The cleaning staff is fantastic, but the rooms are a bit run-down: old pillows and beds, cracked tile and... more

To use a travel guide cliché, Villas Jazmin is a “hidden treasure”. It’s a small, family-run resort just west of Puerto Plata, in the upscale suburb of Costámbar (= Amber Coast). It consists of a dozen one- and two-bedroom bungalow-style villas, plus apartments in several buildings down the street, for a total of 30 units. The Canadian owners are gradually... more

Quiet warm hospitality with personalized service. Friendly neighbourhood where you feel comfortable venturing around at anytime. Gives you a sense of family and an area you might want to live in some-day. Not to be put in the same context of the Mega Resort but the comfortable lodge environment of the north. Walking the streets all the people where kind... more
