My group of 9 adults stayed @ Twin Villas to celebrate a 50th birthday. The grounds are beautiful! Very lush & secluded. We all loved the elevated palapa overlooking the beach & ocean. The heated pool was great, especially at night. Abraham & the other staff were friendly & responsive when we needed help. We felt safe in this location & appreciated the guard outside the main entrance. As other reviewers noted, the villas were clean, but dated & very basic. Things like new showerheads & newer towels and blankets would add a lot to the villa. The location & grounds are definitely the highlight of this property.
We hired the private chef for 2 days & had mixed feelings. The menus had a good variety of foods including Yucatan specialties. Food was very flavorful & the presentation was nice. Arturo the server was friendly & professional. It was a real treat for our group to gather @ the large outdoor table to enjoy custom-made meals.
The only negative was that we didn't receive the amount of food promised. The chef fee was $25 /person for 2 meals /day, but w/a minimum of 15 people, so min. $375 /day. My group was only 9 & I clarified in advance that if I paid the min $375 /day I would receive enough food for 15 people. This way we would have leftover food to eat on the days the chef was not cooking. I was assured that I would get food for 15 people, but none of the meals even came close to being enough food for 15 people. It was just enough for the 9 people we did have. Knowing that I would have a large amount of leftover food was a key factor in deciding to hire the chef because with only 9 people the per person cost was over $41 per day which was a lot more than I could justify spending. On the 1st day the chef cooked, we had a small amount of leftovers which were kindly put in our refrigerator. We enjoyed these the next day for lunch. However, the 2nd day the chef cooked there definitely was some leftover food, but we were never given any of it - not found in the villas & no explanation. Also, for our last dinner, we chose Menu 2 with beef, chicken & pork but they did not serve any chicken. Again no explanation & we didn't seem to get any extra of the beef & pork. So we enjoyed the meals, but were disappointed that we didn't get what we paid for.
Despite the food issues we had an enjoyable stay at the Twin Villas. I recommend this property for the location, lush grounds, pool & the hard-to-find 6 bedrooms w/private baths.
