Casa Balam is a mostly comfortable self contained house with a beautiful pool and lovely outdoor area. The house is a little isolated. It also fronts onto Highway 200. Sometimes the traffic noise can be a bit distracting. The traffic does slow considerably in the night. The house is about a five minute walk to the main street of Guayabitos, about a 10 minute walk to the beach. The kitchen is quite well equipped so that you can prepare meals easily. Outside there is a barbeque and table and chairs. The property is missing loungers for around the pool. But the pool is fantastic! Big and beautiful and comfortable temperature, with some shade. Also outside is an outdoor shower and a full three piece washroom, with shower, toilet and sink. This is the second bathroom of the property. The main house contains the other three piece bathroom. The bedrooms are equipped with double/queen beds, somewhere in between the two sizes. The beds were a little hard. The living dining area had lots of table and chair seating but was lacking a bit on seating for just relaxing with just one couch/day bed. The wifi is great, we never had any problems during our two month stay, December, January 2021-2022. The owner Antonio and his main man Hector are fantastic! They are so responsive and kind and ensured that everything was in order all the time. Their response time was immediate!!!! If you know Guayabitos the house is located almost immediately beside Pina Colada Restaurant. The house is very safe and secure. Overall our stay was very good and we would recommend Casa Balam for short or long term stays!
