We enjoyed to stay at Villa Azul very much as a group of five families with little children. It was perfect for playing and having a good time together.

The Mar Azul was very nice for our stay of 10 adults. The caretaker was absolutely wonderful and helped us as much or as little as we needed. I do think 12 adults would be a little tough as the 6th bedroom is pretty small. Overall a very nice property, nice and secluded but with great amenities.

The property was in a clean condition and love the location. This year sea weed was more than normal but that was nature and we made the best of it

The good: Kevin, the on-site house manager, Angela, the local property manager, and Erin the rental manager were all nice, helpful, gracious and friendly. They made sure we had what we needed and checked in on us throughout our stay. We had a hellish arrival day but they helped us out in finding places for our group to eat and ensured we had transportation scheduled. The property is isolated and directly on the beach in a very calm bay, so it felt like we had the bay to ourselves. Not so good: The property feels old and outdated; many fittings were in disarray or broken (the gate was very hard to close/open, door handles coming off, sinks leaking or showers not working), shades were a bit grimy from the ocean water, etc. Kevin was able to help when we needed but some things weren’t fixable. The property is NOT GOOD for seniors. There are multiple steps throughout the house, not stairs but different heights in different areas that are hard to see. Our group had three grandparents and after a few falls I was nervous the whole time. The pool is nice but much smaller than it appears in the photo. Small enough that the water never felt cool, it was always warm. It also has a few dangerous spots that resulted in a member of our group getting a big gash exiting the pool which put a damper on our vacation. Accidents happen but the stone shouldn’t be so sharp near the exit stairs. The road to the house is…an experience.
