Broadband Wifi is available in the whole property. We have our own Wifi network, working at a standard rate of 3Mb/s. Nonetheless, it sometimes happens that the whole internet network slows down in Las Terrenas, and we cannot be held responsible of our providers defects. In the case there is a major problem with our own provider, we will gladly lend you with an alternate provider emergency 3G box.

24/24 SECURITY
At night, Villa Sofia, as part of the Cap Bonita Residence, benefits from the security of professional armed agents to ensure that our guests can relax and enjoy their stay in a total quietness. This said, it is also important to underline that Las Terrenas is a safe and quiet destination, by day as by night.
POOL ALARM
If you travel with young children, we can install a pool alarm. This security device is composed of an alarm module plugged in the villa (within a specified range) and of little bracelets to be locked around the children wrists; whenever the bracelets are in contact with water, the siren of the alarm alerts everybody of the danger.

SAFETY
We do our best for you to enjoy your vacation at Villa Sofia at the maximum. Security is an important matter for international travelers going to an unknown country, especially when they travel with family and children. First of all, it is very important to say that, since 2006 (year of the opening of our very first rental villa in Las Terrenas), NONE OF OUR GUESTS, ever met the least problem of security during their stay. During the day, Villa Sofia is under the responsibility of our staff who is working for us for several years now, and in which we have a total trust. Nothing has never been “borrowed“.
A FEW COMMON SENSE RULES
Like in any city in any other country, everybody has to respect common sense rules, as you would do in your own city, and integrate the fact a majority of the local population has a standard of living which is far lower than our guests’. We just advise you to keep your valuables in the safes at your disposition, to avoid showing off expensive jewelry or big amounts of cash money in public areas and also to avoid walking in unknown neighborhood late at night. Las Terrenas is a destination which does not have more than average security issues, and especially at Villa Sofia which is located in one of the most quiet and secure residence of the North Coast.
