October 7-14, 2025: I traveled with a friend, we are both retired and 65. We loved the condo!! It was spacious, very clean, clutter free with beautiful artwork, panoramic veiw in the living area. There were plenty of towels and wash cloths in baths, the kitchen had everthing we needed and more. The building was beautifully decorated, very well maintained, and safe We were on the 18th floor overlooking the rain forest on one side and the Westin Hotel complex on the other. Checking in was easy and the staff was very helpful and courteous. Uber to the city center was about 14to the center of the city during non rush hours, and many tours can be reserved at the Westin, and pick you up and return you to the front door of Casa Bonita!. It was not necessary to rent a car for our transportation and exploration. We had a wonderful time and are looking forward to returning!!!

First of all, communication by the host and the information provided prior to arriving was excellent. We were given all of the necessary information regarding how to arrive, how to get into the unit, what to expect, etc, as well as additional information about the city, places to visit, etc.When you first walk in, WOW! The views from the 18th floor are incredible. It's an end, corner unit so you see about a 270 degree view, of the mountains, jungle, the cove where the property is located, the pools, & the ocean with the islands & the row of ships waiting to enter the canal. The gym, game room, & pool on the roof were very nice!The property is located about 20-25 min outside the main city so it's close enough to go do tourist activities but far enough away to get away from the hustle & bustle of the big city and just relax.There are about 5 different types of restaurants at the Westin Hotel there on the property to choose from. There are also 4 pools there right next to the beach.If you don't want to eat out, there are several small markets in Vera Cruz (about a 9-10 min drive) where you can buy food to prepare yourself in the unit.The only negative things were: the Netflix stopped working about a day or two before we left. We really didn't have much time to watch TV anyways because we were always out doing something. Also, the closet in the 2nd bedroom is extremely small, but there's a big 5-drawer dresser to put your clothes. I will definitely return here soon!

GREAT

Excellent property. As we were partly self catering, I was unsure of nearest grocery shop. However, no problem, Riba Smith (super store) is only a 5/8$ taxi ride away.
