Villa Estrella | Amazing villa with private plunge pool

SUMMARY:

Romantic, private, and overlooking tropical gardens and the Caribbean Sea, Villa Estrella at The Villas at The Horned Dorset is the epitome of luxury in paradise. Villa Estrella is a one-bedroom, 2 full bath luxury villa with a private plunge pool. The villa literally steps away from a stunning infinity pool and the beach is a short walk away.

On this beach, you can enjoy a morning or afternoon dip, appreciate the scenery and let the waves caress your feet. 

If you are looking to relax, enjoy quiet surroundings, and still have all the fun and action Rincon has to offer a short drive away, then this is the place for you! 

IMPORTANT NOTE #1: This villa is not located at The Horned Dorset Hotel (which is closed). It is located at the Villas at Horned Dorset, directly beside the hotel. The common areas and pool of the Villas are in pristine condition. Once you get off the main road, you will encounter narrow countryside roads for approx 3-5 minutes until you get to the property.

IMPORTANT NOTE #2:  The complex offers a full-size generator & water tank in case of an interruption in electrical or water service.
