Firstly, for an honest, down to earth review of Stanza Mare, I would ask you to read "Not All Paradise" and "Not Ready For Prime Time" as they have both truly stated the problems of this vacation spot. Then I would like to add: There is no restaurant on location. It was closed down while we were there. The stoves,... More

We have spent one week here. In spite of the varied opinions, we can just say positive things. The place is nice, a kind of funcional architecture that melts in the enviroment. The flats are spacious and convenient. God value for the price. There are shops and a french coffe near by. Lots of restaurants on the beach. We have... More

Just came back from several months at Stanza Mare. Have to say, this was the most disappointing of our several years there & we won’t be back next year. There is so much upheaval & bad feelings, all the long term renters say they’re ready to go home. Read other comments written this year. These comments are extremely accurate! I... More

Stayed recently in one-bedroom condo in Stanza Mare. Unit was large and very well kept. There is security and shops and restaurants nearby. Breakfast was included and lunch and dinner is also available at the complex restaurant. Fod was good. Excellent location on the beauatiful Bavaro Beach. Quiet property. Ideal if you want to get a feel for the real... More

We stayed here for 5 nights in October and we had an awesome time. If you are looking for something more authentic and not a big, all-inclusive resort this is the place for you! When we go away we like to really experience the location we are at by trying local bakeries, restaurants, shops, bars, etc. You don't get to... More

We rented a one bedroom unit in Stanza Mare for a month - from mid February to mid March. We loved it! The unit was nicer than we expected it to be, and when we saw the ocean view from the balcony we were thrilled. The on line pictures showed everything that we got, but it was much nicer in... More

We have stayed at the Stanza Mare the past 4 years (2 wks., 3 wks., 2 months and 2 months respectively). This year we were there from mid-January through mid-March. So we feel qualified to comment on the condos and the property. We have read many of the reviews that comment on the surrounding area, and with few exceptions, feel... More

We stayed at Stanza Mare in late February and rented a condo from Linda and Vicente Rivera. They own a unit in the complex and rent out/manage a couple of units there as well. They also own a company that arranges tours and airport transfer service. All in all, they were very helpful and quite friendly. Trust me, as paranoid... More

We stayed here for 2 weeks from Feb. 11 - 25 and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The beach was a 2 min walk and Carlos the security guard was always there to help us with our loungers - Thanks Carlos. The beach was amazing. Beware the "shopping center" right next door to the right. They can be aggresive, but that's the... More
