This property was one of the nicest homes we've ever stayed ANYWHERE, let alone in central America. Let me start with the bed: they rival any Beautyrest and it wouldn't surprise me if they are Beautyrest mattresses. The beds are TRUE king beds (not 2 twins pushed together). I normally sleep about 5 hours per night, but this bed had me sleeping 7-8 hours every night.
The VIEWS! If you are an avid outdoor photographer or just love to wake up to amazing views, this place has it in spades. Gorgeous views from the house balcony, both the Master Suite and the kitchen/great room as well as the two lower bedrooms and the pool.
The beautiful POOL was kept IMMACULATE by the wonderfully thoughtful cuidor (sp?), Jubron---the young man who was the caretaker of the home. It was a beautiful infinity edge overlooking Gorilla Rock! The design of the outdoor living space is phenomenal and very user-friendly, including a swim-up bar and a grill. We cooked most nights and on one of our last two nights, Jubron (sp?) actually came over to the house and made a lobster and shrimp dinner for minimal including clean-up! He went to go and get all the seafood that day (about 2 lbs of shrimp and 3 lbs of lobster) as well as side items and as soon as we arrived back from our excursion to Ometepe, he was cooking that fresh seafood.
The BEACH! You walk down a series of well thought out steps (wear comfortable water shoes with thicker soles) from the top floor down to an incredibly beautiful beach that is essentially private. There are perhaps 3 other houses around the cove that may utilize it too, but on the 3 days we played on it, we had it to ourselves! I went snorkeling all 3 times and saw different species of fish, including puffers. Visibility was only about 15-20 ft, but it was still a joy to take underwater photos that were enabled from a beach entrance because we were in a cove. The other 2 days we went to two other beaches: Playa Madera, a great surf beach with surf schools, and Playa Hermosa ($3 entrance fee, but well worth it); a child-friendly beach which was wonderful because you had a cabana (no charge for its use as long as you're ordering drinks and/or food). The prices of food, drinks, and beer were very reasonable: about $1.50 for a beer and my wife had mojitos for about $4.00.
Safety: The cuidors place is a separate structure near the entrance of the house and we always felt very safe. We never felt unsafe anywhere we went around San Juan Del Sur.
