While it’s a hike to get up to the condo from where we parked the car, it was clean, spacious, comfortable, and a paradise. The private swimming made the difference, that includes a stunning panoramic view. This combo set itself apart for from other units in Villa Sol. If you don’t have a car, the regular rounds of Villa Sol shuttles drops you off and picks you up right at the base of the condo, which cuts the hike by 50%. The condo is well supplied for cooking, lounging in the pool, and comes with chairs, an umbrella, and snorkeling equipment for the family, including beach toys for the kids and young at heart. Proximity to Playa Hermosa (beach) is close, and Villa Sol shuttles takes you right there from any condo unit. Big Kudos to the La Casita Del Marisco restaurant right on Hermosa beach. From the road, it doesn’t look like a place you want eat, but the atmosphere, the quality of the food & drinks, are all excellent, as is their pricing. They make cocktails like they’re supposed to be made, not like how the concentrated sugar bombs most other places in the area, including at Playa Coco, typically make them - diabetic concoctions. Sunsets at the Villa Sol pool and bars at the top are spectacular. But beware, their tropical drinks are sugar bombs there too, so BYOB.
