Good impression but there were issues with the check-in process as it was not clear how to use the fob which was called a card incorrectly, although the host was fairly responsive. The biggest drawback of this property is the hot water situation. Even taking a military style shower, maximum of 2 1/2 minutes, there’s only enough hot water for one person at a time. Definitely would be beneficial to put in a decent sized tank for the water heater. If hot showers aren’t important to you. It’s a great spot. secondly, location can be misleading, you cannot walk or bicycle from this property. Anywhere, it is up on the top of the hill, which gives it a remarkable views but a car is necessary to get anywhere even the Malecon, which is only about 5 miles an away. Also, the layout of the house is a bit strange, doors opening up into doors, the master bed is basically on the floor, and the stairway is quite dangerous as the steps are all different widths and spiral around a corner, which makes it very difficult to navigate, especially if it’s dark. Security is nonexistent as we were waved right in without being checked at all. WIFI very spotty(but that could be a Mexico thing) The gym is really nonexistent, 2 treadmills and some dumbbells, but not a big deal unless that's your thing. Great perks like an ice maker, purified water supplied with a nice countertop dispenser (really appreciated). Another huge nuisance, which I read about before our trip, was the constant barking dogs.
