We loved our trip to Troncones, and Villas Las Rubias was THE perfect place to stay. The owners were so helpful throughout the process and the local team took such good care of us while were were there. It was "calor de cajones," as they say, but with the beach and the picture perfect pool, we were set! Troncones is a really neat place with a community feel. One night we got "take-out" from a local restaurant (Chenchos) and they gave us an enormous platter with real plates to return the next day. Another day we ran out of pesos and the proprietor at a cafe down the street (Indigo) said we could just pay later. We had an amazing meal cooked right at the villa by local chef Gracia. We got fish and fruit from the daily trucks, smoothies and coffee from Pacifico across the street every morning, and did yoga every afternoon at Present Moment two doors down. It wasn't really surf-able right out front (too rocky and closed out) but we got great intel about the best nearby spots from another owner and the local surf bros. We were two couples with kids in tow (8, 6, and almost 2), and having that amazing pool, the beach, and the sandy spot right out in front of the villa was ideal. Oh, and daily housekeeping too - clutch! However, if you do have small kids, make sure to carefully look at the pics and description and make sure it will work for you - the bedrooms with their panoramic windows and glass doors open right up to the outside, so it can feel a little exposed if the kiddos are sleeping alone, especially in the downstairs bedroom. We put the 6 & 8 year old in a bedroom upstairs and it worked out just fine. It really was a magical trip. We will be back for sure. Thank you!
