A lovely property, open cabanas in jungle gardens - but because they are close together and welcome young families in the larger villas, this is not a hideaway for lovers. Screaming children jumping in pools from 6 or 7 am, wailing babies, admonishing parents - all make the ever-present howler monkeys sound like lullabies. Also some of the handful of units are close to the road, which also can be noisy. That said, the property is breathtaking, the nearness to the perfect beach ideal (the waves are ideal for surfers - for young children, not so much, though the 12 year old surfers kicked my butt). Good to keep in mind too that the road to and through the village of Santa Teresa, though lined with great stores and restaurants, is an endless dust storm in the dry season. Everyone, including those walking, wears bandanas over their nose and mouth. But once you’re on the beach, it’s like you’re in the middle of nowhere - in the best way possible.
