Our stay here was amazing. We were a group of 11 women who have been friends for 30 years celebrating our 50th birthdays. This place was beyond what we could have ever imagined.
The location is excellent. Safe and private, yet ridiculously convenient. 5-minute walk to COVID testing, convenience store, ATM, farmacia, etc. The backyard is the beach and there are two pools to enjoy.
The house is beautiful and large but doesn't feel too big. The bedrooms are spacious, very well appointed, with each having its own bathroom. The common areas are super welcoming and comfortable as well.
Having said all that, the stay wouldn't have been half as good if it weren't for the amazing staff that joined us. Because we loved the idea of taking a break from cooking, we took advantage of having the chef, Jose, prepare our menu and meals. Not only was the food delicious, but it was also beautifully presented - restaurant quality. Over the course of the time we were there, we could tell he noticed what types of foods and portion sizes worked for us and would make changes in future meals accordingly. Not only is Jose an excellent chef, but he is also a friendly, fun, and wonderful person to be around.
Then there was Leslie and Rocio, the wonderful ladies that magically made every day beautiful, clean, and easy. Every interaction was met with a compassionate and warm smile. I wish our Spanish was better so we could have had even more interesting conversations with them.
Obed, the "front man", was excellent at coordinating it all. He managed our grocery runs and mealtimes, offering excellent advice on everything. It's obvious he knows what he's doing; extremely professional and way better than we were at understanding what we needed. As was the case with the others, Obed was caring, funny, and kindly patient with the often-confusing dynamics of our group. We just loved having them all join in on our fun too! When it came time to leave, we were genuinely sad to leave them. We are hoping to come back to experience the house and the company all over again.
The main advice I would offer is to prepare to have plenty of cash if you will not be shopping for groceries, alcohol, etc on your own. You'll need it for tips at the end of the stay as well.
If you book your vacay here, plan to sit back and soak up the sun, the food, and the smiles!
