The most charming authentic traditional home with the most incredible cook Effie if you have her make you meals. All of her food is from scratch and she puts so much love into her cooking. She can also pick up the groceries you need. My daughters loved all the photo opportunities all over the house with plants and views. The pool was wonderful to come home to and we spent a lot of time poolside. It was clean and refreshing. Some of the furniture is not as comfy but it’s authentic and has so much character it was enjoyable. We spent a lot of time as a family in the master upstairs in that seating area that gets great views and the breeze. We liked having the house open during the day and enjoyed the AC at night. The towels were fluffy and high quality and smelled nice which can be a rarity in humid climates. It doesn’t take long to get to the beach and be prepared for a lot of steps unless you want to grab a taxi or uber (which is also easy). We liked walking to burn off all the food we were eating. Highly recommend the experience of staying here. We loved it.

The place is great! Our hosts were appropriately communicative about arrival and departure and helped us with transportation from the airport. The housekeeper is also very helpful and was willing to arrange both housekeeping and meals while we were there. The property itself was a great place to stay for the 7 of us and has all the amenities we could have asked for.

The house manager Effie was amazing and cooked the best food we have eaten. She made the house even more enjoyable.

This is a beautiful traditional old Hacienda. Initially the neighborhood was questionable but after staying therefore awhile and Walking around we became accustomed to it and felt perfectly safe. The main issue with this property is the extreme deferred maintenance. I took a lot of photographs of upholst try that was stained,dirty, tattered and torn essentially worn out. slip covers should have been replaced, Decorative pillow Covers should have been replaced., Sinks were chipped and worn, Some faucets were completely rusted And one of the faucets had a broken off handle Which made the hot water inaccessible in that particular bathroom. Neither of The bathtubs Had stoppers so bathing was not available. We did buy a stopper for the tub with the jets and left it on the premises. . The other tub was in such poor condition We would not even put our feet in it let alone our entire body. The equepalli furniture was worn and torn And needs to be replaced. Overall the Cleanliness of the kitchen was not up to our standards. The scrolled wrought iron table bases and bed frames Had lots of old dust built up on them and the stack of magazines on the fireplace was so filthy I could write my name On the top of the one on top of the stack. I could go on and on about this as we were all quite taken aback. We felt that for the money they are charging this place should be up to par and it is truly Neglected. At one point we all talked about moving to a different accommodation and asking for our money back. We were happy with the location and proximity to everything we wanted to do and we were very happy with Effie. She was hospitable and help us navigate taxi's My advice for the owners is do a sweep of the premises replace all of the old worn tattered torn and broken items in the home And retain a cleaning service to come in once every quarter to do a deep cleaning of walls ceilings beams windows, fans light fixtures (as there were dead bugs in several of the light fixtures.), the insides of all the drawers and closets. I realize handling the deferred maintenance all at once can be a Costly endeavor but it will make a world of difference for your guests. Right now the house seems untended and uncared for. ThT was a Big disappointment. I would like to add that we have visited port of the art several times and have stayed in various accommodations That we have been thrilled with so that is why this was A true let down.
