I hesitated to review this property to see if anything would change in the owners postings. The views advertised are basically fraudulant, there is a large apartment complex constructed right in front of the house that completely obstructs the views of the ocean on the main level. Expect limited ocean views from only the top balcony. During most of our stay there was a strong septic aroma, quite pleasant as you can imagine. The in house chef and staff were 100 percent the highlight of our trip. They were amazing. If you don’t mind not having an ocean view the property was vast and the pool area was great but I can’t get past the fact that it wasn’t as advertised and still isn’t.

The property was just like the listing and was a great house. The only things that were an issue were the car did not work the entire stay and the full ocean view was now two partial ocean views. The location is great if you have a car but there is construction around still happening but not noisy at all. The Property Manager Cesar was great and accommodating due to the car issue. The private transportation that we setup through Cesar with Roberto and his staff was great. The Chefs Oscar and Carlos were amazing and the food was so delicious. We would definitely stay there again and have all the same staff because they were all great.

We had a great time at Hacienda Punta Vista and would definitely recommend the property! Here are. few things that would’ve been nice to know before we arrived…first, the gorgeous view is no longer there. You can still see the water, however the condo that is going up in front of the property blocks the majority of the view. I am sure it was absolutely stunning before that thing went up. While it was somewhat dusty due to the construction going on around us, it wasn’t bothersome or overly loud at all. There is very little at the house in terms of spices, baking dishes, paper towels, TP, etc. It was really nice having 2 kitchens - we used the upstairs one for overflow. They also have a large cooler for use, which came in very handy. Having the vehicle to use was also great. It’s not in the best shape, but it’ll get you where you need to go. Ubers were very easy to get and it was only about 13 between the house and Marina including tip. We were a party of 10 so could not all fit in the vehicle. Cesar, the property manager, is absolutely amazing!! He is a wealth of info and responds to requests very quickly! Make sure you have him explain the hot water in the showers…it takes a bit to heat up and in some showers the cold faucet is actually the hot. The karaoke machine unfortunately didn’t work and the cornhole bags were empty/ missing, which was a bummer, but I know Cesar was ordering new bags. Costco & the grocery store are just minutes away.

Swimming pool and hot tub were not heated till 4th day. Cesar didn’t understand controls, insects were in abundance on patios, new road on direct edge of property wasn’t shown in pictures, which must b 2-3 years old. Construction equipment, trucks,cranes,pickups, people were back and forth for 18 hours a day creating a dust store continuously. The quiet, semi isolated property is totally misrepresented now.
