Authentic Mexican Villa - Wonderful!
Susan, the owner, is perfectly lovely and very helpful. The housekeeper Marychuy is helpful
and does a great job. Highly recommended having her fix up margaritas, guacamole and pico de gallo for your arrival because it is a wonderful way to settle in. We also opted to have her make us chicken and prawn kebabs with mixed rice and beans that night which made for yummy leftovers for the following days when we decided to stay in. Of course, all the reviews are correct that her Chili Relleno is incredibly good and we had spicy which was prefect (no burning, just a beautiful flavourful bit of heat, so if you like spicy don’t hesitate). Taxis and ubers are plentiful and inexpensive. La Palapa on the beach is a must for dinner and lunch. Tre Piatti is fantastic also, especially the in-house made pastas. Cafe Des Artiste while a stunning garden and a magical setting, is pricey, slower and the food is good but not wow. You can take a cab 5 mins up the road to a beach and for 25$ get a shaded spot on a nice beach and order drinks (mojitos were good). But the best part is the villa. It has everything you need, and very special. The gardens and grounds are perfect and kept immaculate. The dining area outside is an oasis and just so many spots to sit an enjoy throughout the day. There are a few fountains you can turn on and off so while you are using and remember to turn off. The pool and hot tub are wonderful and at your fingertips through the eclipse doors. Umbrella for shade and fans in open air common areas for a breeze if needed. Area feels very safe. Can’t say enough good things! All three rooms are equally lovely. Susan has a treasure and we are just so grateful she opens it up to guests!
