At Casa del Lago the lawn runs down to the lake, fairways of The Links across the water and no road between. Four en-suite bedrooms sleep eight in a plantation-style villa in Los Lagos, with an included cook handling all the meals. The fit: a multi-generation family with kids at the pool and grandparents on the verandah, three generations spreading across en-suite rooms, or two couples on a long weekend who came for lakefront over beachfront.

Mornings start at the verandah, the lake quiet and the fairways across the water still empty. The pool sits at the lake edge of the lawn, sunloungers angled toward the water. The rattan sitting room opens through glass walls to the pergola terrace for lunch outdoors. By evening the formal dining room seats eight under a silver-framed mirror, the lake dark just past the lawn.

Casa del Lago sits in Los Lagos, on the inland lake that borders The Links. Minitas Beach is a short cart ride for the morning swim — the shortest beach run in the Los Lagos collection. Teeth of the Dog — ranked the Caribbean's top course by the World Golf Awards — is a short ride for the round. Altos de Chavón is a short ride up the cliff for the evening above the Chavón river. Book Casa del Lago when the trip is the multi-gen family on the water and a plantation villa with room for three generations, not a beachfront estate with the noise of the sea at every window.
