It was perfect and easy and right on the ocean

The house at Olla de Pachuko was a wonderful place for a family vacation. We were fortunate enough to visit in early March- a family of 5 had more than enough space to enjoy. The breezes of the time of year were glorious, we could sleep with windows open for the most part, but did use AC a couple of nights which worked spectacularly. (No issues with biting insects) The house is amazing and was even better in person than these beautiful pictures show. It is filled with details and artworks in every corner, sure to bring a smile - all the beds were comfortable and clean, and should mention that the wifi was flawless with no issues handling multiple users at once. Carlos was an amazing host, who answered every call or text in a timely and efficient manner - both prior to our arrival and all during our stay. His attention to detail made us feel well cared for and comfortable, and numerous times went out of his way to enhance our experience of the area. We would also like to recognize the services of Betsy who daily helped with meals and clean up; who kept the living spaces clean, swept and tidy; and who on a memorable occasion accompanied my husband to the local market to facilitate purchasing fish which she cooked up for a fantastic dinner that night! Thank you Betsy! All in all was a fantastic and memorable trip, and we hope to return in the future with more extended family to enjoy this special place. Thank you Carlos for making our stay restfull and problem free. Our best to you and your family!

We spent 6 days on this lovely property with 3 families over the Christmas holidays. It was a 2.45hr drive from the airport without traffic, with some potholes, but it was worth it. We travelled with young children (6yr olds, 8mth old & 10yr old) and this property was perfect for us. The water is very shallow so we were fine letting the kids play in the water on their own. I know in some of the reviews the wind seemed to be an issue, but we enjoyed it. It was very pleasant since it made the temperature/humidity bearable. Make sure to bring water shoes as there are fun places to explore like the reefs. We had access to the paddle board & kayak which we loved. We did a couple morning runs into Palenque and the people were very friendly. Carlos was very hospitable. Good communication throughout. Helped us with groceries, directions, tours, etc. He even set us up with a cook and housekeeper. This was the highlight since we didn't have to worry about meals and cleaning for so many people. The food was delicious. Malaquias the grounds keeper is amazing as well. He did all the BBQing, maintenance and even got us some coconuts. Make sure to buy all your groceries and alcohol before getting to the villa as the nearby stories have very limited options. Another highlight was the walking tour Carlos set us up on. We all loved the secluded beach/forest area about 25min drive away near Playa Chiquita that we hiked through. We walked through the village where the yearly Tribal Gathering occurs which was interesting to see. The beaches were so beautiful and the views are stunning. As a side note, you will see a lot of trash washed up along some of the shoreline which breaks your heart. Near the villa we were able to walk along the water to explore the area. There are other options for tours like horseback riding, San Blas island etc. Thank you Carlos for such a wonderful and memorable getaway. Each one of us had a fantastic time. We highly recommend staying here.

The house, the place, the beach, the everything!! It is simple amazing! I had a great time with my family, only regret it was just for 4 days. Carlos was the best. Highly recommend and will be back soon.
