Aparta Hotel Montevista

Did an Airbnb, our unit had no hot water, internet and none of the listed amenities. Loud on the weekends, party central. Dominican Republic was awesome but not the resort. I’ve seen reviews where other guests had similar issues that we had.

first of all would like to begin with saying the staff and grounds people, and pool guy keep this place really nice, and all very good. The outfit we rented through...nightmare to deal with. First week no light in bathroom, had to use a flashlight, which thank goodness we brought one. Took her over a week to respond to our request for a light, as it was not a normal lightbulb to install. When we first walked in after having had an accident at the airport I did not need to walk in to such shabby quarters. The cupboards were hanging off, and crooked, (which we fixed), The cookware like was something from a camp kitchen, only three burners on stove top worked. The sink barely any pressure for water, hot was minimal. Shower was horrible, barely anywhere to stand in, ( and we are small) big gaping hole on side where I assume a wall should be, water pressure, barely a trickle. Bedroom was sketchy. Found condom wrappers under the bed, in closet and under couch, so never sat on it! so housekeeping is remiss. The pool is beautiful, and well maintained by pool guy. But some of the patrons...ai yi yi... weekends is party party party, they come from south side of island in droves, and Puerto Rico. They take up pool, party, boozing it up, loud partying from decks, pool, and seems to be no one to keep it in control. There are no rules here, so if looking for quiet, don't come here. also the constant array of ladies of the evening (young girls mostly) is very disparaging, and mostly because of lewd conduct from them. We were told when we rented this place that it had certain amenities, there were none. Surf Encuentro Properties. Wow, first of all she text me about a week or two before were were to arrive to let me know the place we originally booked was sold so she put us in another one...wow and that was horrible. I can see why these places go for so cheap. When we could not take it anymore the noise etc. we moved. but also because we were told at one time there was a shuttle as it is written up this way on her site, shuttle to town, well no shuttle, and when we asked Lisa why no shuttle, she said she does not give out that information. Why? Why would you not want your clients to know that? Deceiving? Well we got no money back from her, and we did move, to a more desirable and decent place. I guess you get what you pay for. But be careful who you deal with as well. Would I recommend this place? NO! Even my friend who picked us up at airport, when dropped us off, he immediately went home and said to wife that we need to get out of there. So he spoke to a friend as well as his brother who is manager of a place on the beach in Cabarete. He was helpful in getting us prime location for rest of our winter getaway of 3 months. so we did spend two and a half months in paradise! A bit more pricey, but again...you get what you pay for. Monte Vista is on mountainside of Sosua, and we did not like it, or Sosua. Unless you got a car....
