The home is beautiful and clean, and the location is excellent. It really is just a short walk to the beach, about half of a US city block, slightly downhill. Of course, that means coming back from the beach is uphill, so people with mobility issues may have some problems. It isn´t terribly steep, but it is definitely uphill. The bedrooms in the home are upstairs. Air conditioners in the bedrooms work great, and the air conditioners in the rest of the house are pretty good. Bathrooms are large and nice. The pool is more private than it looks in the photos, used only by residents. The only people we saw using the pool were older women. We are older women too, so we felt very comfortable there. We did not use the pool much, though, because the beach was so close. There are restaurants within walking distance. One you pass on your short walk to the beach. The others are just down the street. A soda on the left hand side as you walk down from the villa is excellent. We ate there more than once. We watched a family of howler monkeys playing in the trees on that street one day. We enjoyed watching the birds from the downstairs patio. The place was easy to find. Wifi connection was great. The guard at the gate was friendly and made us feel very secure. He was always present and quick to let us in and out with a friendly wave and smile. I only have two things to quibble about regarding this home. First, when we arrived we were met by a teenage boy who handed us the keys, showed us where the air conditioner remotes were, and left. It would have been nice to have been shown around a little and given a brief orientation to the house, the villas, and the area. Second is the contract itself. I willingly signed it, so I knew what it contained, but after staying at this home and others on our trip, I find the cleaning requirements here a bit strict. No other home owner required us to perform any cleaning prior to leaving. Of course we had no problem removing our own trash, but being required to perform other cleaning under threat of having to pay a fee seems harsh. I would suggest to the owner that those cleaning requirements be removed.
