Just back from a fabulous stay in this great condo, and have dozens of pictures to affirm this condo's great location within the complex. Iguanas in the tree canopy, fish galore in the waters below, birds entertaining us with their antics, boats heading out/coming back from their latest adventures, various other ocean & beach activities, including folks visiting the site of the Night of the Iguana movie set..... There's no need to leave your balcony if you've got your camera & binoculars! If you do feel the urge to join the fish, just don your snorkel gear and explore, without leaving the bay!
When venturing into town, just hop on the local bus (8 pesos each, one way); cabs, too, are always an option. Stroll into the village of Mismaloya to buy most of your provisions; you'll be surprised at the variety available! A nearby stand offers fresh fruit, at a reasonable price. Speaking of food....the "Mismaloya Grill" is located on the condo property. Enjoy a tasty dinner without leaving home.
Having stayed in a different building, on a prior visit, my husband and I agree that we prefer this condo's location, despite the lack of elevator. Folks with mobility issues might be challenged at times, however.
Overall, this condo met or exceeded all our needs & wants. The extra bathroom was a bonus
and the well-provisioned kitchen made 'eating in' a pleasure. Mexican artwork adorns the walls; colourful and a nice touch! Living-room furniture was comfy and yes, TV in English, and free Wi-Fi are rather nice. The bedroom is very spacious, with lots of storage. The king-size bed was a tad firm but we soon got used to it!
The entire complex, including the pool and pool deck, received a major renovation and upgrade during this past summer. Now the complex is 'accessible', for the most part, and features 2 fountains, painted and mosaic murals, and 2 new 'palapas'.....providing much needed shade. Well done!
The staff at "La Jolla de Mismaloya Condominio" was as great as ever......helpful, friendly, and easy-going. Booking our 5 week vacation was very easy; Amy answered our emails within a few hours, at most. Thank you!
How much did we enjoy our stay? So much so that we're already booked for next year!
