I searched for many weeks for a property that would suit our 3 generation family group. Pedregal 'ticked all the boxes' and it offered far more than I had anticipated. Location - 15 to 20 mins walk from PDC [just about ok for us] and 3 mins to the beautiful beach. We found that being organised and doing a big shop by taxi every few days, worked best for us. We rented a couple of bikes which meant that one of us could pick up any emergency rations in between time. The House is AMAZING, exceeded our expectations. Extremely well appointed, plenty of space both inside and out. The biggest problem for me was how to allocate bedrooms, esp when one of them is the size of a small ballroom - easy, I took Viktor's advice, hubby and I took the incredible master suite to save any arguments ! Although the entire family could have fitted into the enormous spa bath, we decided the outdoor shower was much more enjoyable and more environmentally friendly. However all the rooms are beautifully decorated and have their own shower room. The deck was a great place for family outdoor living but a complete surprise to us was the great bar area downstairs - I will say no more otherwise there will be no surprises. We were pleased that the pool was a few steps away from the house, less likely for our toddling grand daughter to fall in. We hoped that our young grandsons would find playmates at the pool, a reason for choosing a shared pool rather than private, this also means the pool is bigger. Very successful as they returned home having met some great new pals. Leo does a great job managing the house and our thanks to her for being so understanding, esp on the day we arrived, she was my santo ! Amy is amazing, we have never been so well looked after, she is a happy, sunny girl, eager to please and also cooked a beautiful family dinner for us. Do chat to Gilles re any excursions, he is great fun and really works at giving you the best possible experience. We went on his Mayan village tour and another day his trusty driver Oscar, drove us to Akumel where we were lucky enough to see turtles. The highlight of the trip was the Lazy snorkeling tour when the family fished for the first time, swam with Rays and turtles and were served a delicious lunch on a deserted beach - paradise found ! Above all, there is the very special Viktor, behind the scenes but very much the maker of all things at Casa Pedregal. No query went unanswered, no request is too much trouble. A 5 Star Guy!
