The property is fenced in in a very nice neighborhood. There is live music on Fridays and Sundays about two blocks away so that's something to keep in mind as either a pro or con. The property is absolutely beautiful, there are gorgeous plants throughout, especially the palm trees. The hotel around the corner (where the music is) has decent food but there are better options around. You can go just a few minutes away for some excellent pescado frito or other local dishes (two minute drive, a car is a must). However keep in mind that the locals have a very different idea of hygiene in food preparation. The fresh coconut products from the multitude of street vendors are remarkably good, that is a strong factor in making me want to return, it's just too pleasant being able to go to these little shops and vendors. As far as the room itself, it's large with a king size bed, fresh linen, it has a safe, a nightstand on each side of the bed, and a small table. It has bathroom as well with two large towels and two hand towels. The room is part of a hacienda, meaning it has multiple rooms, all separated from each other but connected by a beautiful open area with plants and a nice table, the kitchen area, and a lovely pool. There's also a washer which Julie was glad to help me with and let me use although you will have to hang your clothes to dry but that's really not a big deal, they have clothes lines and ~infinite clips to hang items. The pool is great, there are plastic floaty things that you can relax on or for swimming or whatever. Since it's like two minutes from the beach, basically all the water is saltwater, including the pool but it's usually not so noticeable although it seems more distinct in the shower than the pool. It's not a real concern either way, just don't drink the tap water. You can always go to the hotel and get water/beer/tequila/food, it's literally a one minute walk (btw you don't need to walk all the way around to the front, you can enter from the pool side in the back) and they're glad to have you there. In fact basically everyone, everywhere is glad to have you there. Altogether it's a very pleasant place and I had a great experience, the only improvement that could be done is the room doesn't have AC so if you're coming in the summer, you need to be alright with some serious heat and humidity but everything else is perfect. Ben and Julie are great, the property is beautiful, the area is lovely. I look forward to making the trip again.
