TESTIMONIALS

Folks if you are looking to vacation, rent, buy, or sell property in the Dominican Republic then the folks at Reliable Realty DR are the ones to go see. Once you are set up, then the other half of their business.... "Reliable Property Management" are there to manage, maintain, and rent out your investment. We have been repeated renters since 2014, and believe us, no names, and no pack drill, I checked out everyone around the area! As a retired Mountie from Canada, I need to deal with people who exhibit honesty, reliability, and trust. Many local folks in Punta Cana, from shop owners to taxi drivers, will try to steer you their way, and this is not recommended. Maria knows the area and their listings in Punta Cana (Bavaro- El Cortecito- Los Corales) very well. Todd, the Property Manager and rental booking agent, and their supervisor (Gregory Perez) are the busiest, hardest working men in Punta Cana... from rolling out of bead at 5:00am for early morning checkouts, to rolling into bed at 3:00am from late night check in’s. All the Reliable Realty staff are bilingual marvels, offering great help and a wealth of knowledge of where to go and what to do. The properties they manage and/ or list for sale, are in the top 20% of desirable locations in Punta Cana and Bavaro. The team at Reliable Realty can meet all your needs. We visit there for two months each winter, and the other 10 months are stress-free knowing our pre-booked rental unit is reserved for us next year! The resorts were too much for us. We now know we prefer renting a condo! We often meet up with other retired people visiting there who want to know about the RD. or RD. I am only passing on Reliable Realty information.

My wife and I along with 9 other family members / friends will be travelling from Newfoundland, Canada and staying at the Punta Cana Princess Resort Mar.22-29/2012. Within the last few days of researching some things to do outside the resort, I fortunately came across your Resource Guide for getting around the heart of Punta Cana. First, I must say thank you for such a wonderful source of info which will be so valuable and helpful to our group during our stay in Punta Cana!!! It is hands down the most informative guide I have ever came across in my days of researching prior to vacationing abroad (8 cruises and 4 All Inclusive resorts in the last 7 years). My wife and I would like to know if we could arrange for a tour to view the area discussed in your guide, as well as some of your vacation properties that you market to individuals who are looking to stay in the area for 2-3 weeks. After reading your guide, we feel that this would help us so much when we decide to vacation in Punta Cana in the future.

Basil & Jackie G. - Newfoundland, Canada – PURCHASED PUNTA CANA REVEALED TRAVEL GUIDEBOOK

We are a retired couple who, last year, rented a condo unit in Punta Cana from Reliable Realty for winter of 2021. We were looking forward to our stay again, and then Covid-19 hit the world. For several reasons, including age and health, we could not travel during the pandemic. But thanks to the efforts of Todd and Maria (Owners) we were able to receive a refund for our stay. We want to express our gratitude and appreciation for their caring and understanding in this difficult time for all. We readily recommend Todd and Maria/ and Reliable Realty if you are looking for a vacation place (or property to purchase) in Bavaro/Punta Cana area.

My husband and I rented this condo for one month. From the first e-mail and the numerous ones that followed, Todd always answered very promptly and provided us with all the information and help we needed. The condo was in excellent condition, nicely furnished and excellent wi-fi connection. The room was big, the bed very comfortable and there was a huge walk-in closet. The ensuite was nice, spacious with nice fixtures. There were plenty of towels and sheets of good quality. The living room was a good size, with a nice T.V.. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed and more. We had a nice balcony with a table and chairs. We even had a BBQ, which we used a few times. The complex is gated with security guards and very well maintained. There was always someone taking care of the grounds. The pool was beautiful, and the water was fantastic. Some days, there were not enough chairs and shade was scarce, but there’s always the beach a walk away. The location was very good, close to the beaches, restaurants, shops, and small grocery stores. It was easy to get to the bigger stores by bus. It was our first experience renting a condo and it won't be our last.

My husband and I rented this condo for the month of February. From the moment you walk through the lobby you know you are someplace special. The pool area and its chaise islands are beautiful. An elevator will take you to the third floor. The apartment is spectacular and as described. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed to make a simple meal or a feast. Each bedroom is tastefully decorated each with its own flat screen TV and ensuite bathroom complete with an ample supply of linens. The second level consists of a huge bedroom, dressing area and double shower. This apartment was immaculate, and we were not at all disappointed with it. Our son and his family visited for a week, and we did not feel crowded. The pool and grounds are immaculate and well maintained. Manuel, at the front desk, was friendly and more than helpful despite the language barrier. We do not speak Spanish. Thank you, Reliable Realty, for your welcome gift and for all your help. We had a truly great vacation!

Costa Hermosa is a wonderful quiet little resort and the condo we rented is a perfect place to have a nice family vacation. After several All-Inclusive vacations this trip was so different. We became a part of the Dominican. It was safe and well laid out. We walked everywhere to stores, beaches, restaurants. We were cautious and did not leave the resort after dark. We were a family of four adults and a two-year-old baby. The unit was spacious, with four patios, well equipped and the Management Company were helpful and accurate. You can go anywhere in the area for a flat rate cab of $10.00. There are plenty of cabs, shuttles, and Ubers everywhere, especially to the Brand Name Shopping Plaza’s in Downtown Punta Cana. Everything there, including grocery shopping at the Jumbo, was a little way away. Grocery shopping was always fun. Prices are a little better than home in Canada on everything. Same thing for eating out. The little store two doors away has everything. People are wonderful. Beach 7-minute walk. Would we return? Absolutely. Reliable Realty, you are indeed reliable. Thank You for everything.

We stayed for a week and had a great time. The condo was as advertised, clean and spacious. It is very close to the pool which is handy for getting drinks or bathroom breaks! The pool was very clean, and the water was warm, everyone we met around the pool was so friendly! The bedroom has tons of closet space. The kitchen was big and had everything we needed. It was only a short walk to the beach (5 min). Had lunch at the Beach Grill, very good food (tip: customers can use the beach chairs). We also ate at several local restaurants for dinner, and they were all good. Everything is close: a 3 min walk around the corner to the property manager’s office (to book tours) and a nice restaurant right below their office. There is a plaza about 7-8 min walk with a grocery store and several restaurants, we ate at Citrus a couple of times. Another tip: use the money exchange in El Dorado Plaza for the best rates. We paid extra when booking for the airport pickup and it was totally worth it - the driver was waiting for us with a sign, and we didn't have to worry about trying to find a taxi driver that spoke English!! We were met at the condo by Gregory from the property management company, and he was very helpful and showed us everything we needed to know. Thanks for a great stay! We will definitely go back and would definitely recommend this condo to anyone! ---Copied

We booked through Reliable Realty and stayed for a few weeks at a nice condo within the beach-town area. We had a wonderful time! It really is walking distance to everything, which is convenient because we don't like to drive. The condo and the area were very clean. Everything we needed was there. The pool was a bit dark from all the rain but still warm. We booked fishing and zip line excursions through the property manager, and everything went great. Already thinking of booking for next year!

What a great place. Nice condo and nice pool area. Close to the beach and excellent restaurants. Todd and Gregory gave us an excellent service. We are going back in 2024.

Diane Mineault- Vacation Rental clients - March 1 - 29, 2023

My husband, two adult children and I visited the condo over Christmas break. Everything was exactly as explained in the listing, and Todd from Reliable Realty was very easy to work with. We decided to go to Punta Cana as a last-minute whim, and he processed our request and payments within hours. He also arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport, who was on-time, courteous and helpful. When we arrived, we noticed that the refrigerator/freezer was not as cool as it should have been; I contacted Todd, and he sent a handyman the next day. He found the fan was not working, fixed the part and it worked fine from then. The condo has beautiful woodwork, up-to-date furnishings, and everything you would need to cook for yourselves. The grounds were well-maintained, and we were pleased to see security in the courtyard and gate entrance 24/7. The local area is booming with restaurants, bars, and shops. There are only a few very small local markets, however, so I recommend stopping at the large grocery store on your way back from the airport. Prices at the restaurants are shown in local Pesos as well as US Dollars and European Euros, and they accept all three currencies. Bring a lot of small bills, however, because you will not receive change in anything other than Pesos. Overall, we can't say enough about our amazing winter getaway, and we all decided that we would like to make this our family's new yearly tradition! ----- Same for Prop. Management
