This one of the best vacations we have ever been on. We highly recommend renting from the Julbers. Just an outstanding experience all around!
- The villa is gorgeous, spotless, beautifully appointed and furnished, and plenty roomy enough for our family, a 50-year-old couple with 3 sons, a daughter, and a son's girlfriend (ages 18-23).
- The kitchen has everything: dishes, glassware, utensils, gadgets, cookware, a full size refrigerator, range, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, washer, dryer. Dish soap, laundry soap, hand/body soap, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper / Kleenex, linens, bath towels and pool towels are all supplied.
- The pantry and the liquor cabinet are both partially stocked and we "paid it forward."
- The covered terrace featured tile floors, lights and ceiling fans, a table and lots of chairs for outdoor meals, a gas grill, lounge chairs, and an ever-changing million dollar view by day or night.
- We hardly used the 3 nice TVs, but at night we enjoyed the board games and playing cards on the terrace.
- The three "real" beds were super comfortable; the sofabeds were, well, sofabeds, but the kids were glad to not have to share.
- The three bathrooms had big showers with lots of hot water and water pressure.
- The staff were friendly and helpful.
- There is an onsite water treatment facility, so we used the water to brush our teeth, make icy drinks, etc. and not one of us had any GI problems.
- The grounds were expansive and impeccable and there was an endless assortment of pools, hot tubs, restaurants, and activities among the three Villa Group properties.
- There are free paddleboards and kayaks at the beach, a well stocked market, a taqueria, a deli, an ice cream shop, an entertainment stage, swim-up bars, several souvenir shops, the Desert Spa, a fitness center, a steam room, and something new to discover at every turn.
- Transpacifico, the airport transportation recommended by the owners, was excellent.
- Walmart, with a full liquor store and grocery store inside, is a 5 minute cab ride.
- The villa has secure internet and there is public wifi at the pool. It's slow and unreliable, but who cares? You're on vacation. It's a perfect excuse not to get that work done that you brought with you.
- Room service is pricey but it was well worth it after our 7 hour flight delay that had us arrive at the villa, starving, at midnight.
- Everything fun is within a 10 min. cab ride or stroll down the beach.
