As previous reviewers have noted, Ilya is a fantastic host! He was extremely helpful before our arrival and during our stay. He went out of his way to make sure we had what we needed but was never intrusive at all. The condo is very comfortable and has one of the best views in the entire complex! The place was spotless when we arrived, and Ilya took the time to show us around and point out where to find things (pools, garbage disposal, etc.). The only two things we really wished we had were a propane barbecue at our unit (but there is a charcoal grill that is shared) and room darkening curtains in the bedrooms. Neither of those things kept us from enjoying the place though. Everyone we met on site, whether residents or vacationers, was extremely friendly. As for the area, we liked the quiet neighbourhood and we were still able to walk to the beach in about 10 minutes, and to the grocery stores and restaurants in about 20 minutes. Coco Beach is very big and had large waves during the almost three weeks that we were there - we had fun playing in the waves and boogie boarding. It's not good for snorkeling but we took a taxi to nearby Ocotal Beach a couple of times and were able to snorkel there. Of course you can easily book a guided snorkel tour if you want to, and there are many other options for excursions too. If you're considering staying in this area you can't go wrong with this unit, and with Ilya as host.
