Place is as advertised. About a football field’s distance from a quiet beach (Playa Ocotal) with wonderful, warm water and lovely views. Villa is as described. All amenities necessary were provided, including plenty of towels, beach chairs, and plenty of kitchenware to cook just about anything. The pool at the villa was quiet and the other individuals that were onsite were lovely people, so there was no reason to leave the gates to go to the other pools. We did not venture to the club because we had full schedules already planned. Truly, you could knit pick any place you stay, and find something not to your standards. But in my opinion, if you have an issue with this place it is either a one off, unfortunate circumstance, or its the renter Bernard was communicative and pleasant from start to finish, as was Vanessa. We did not require their services, but they made themselves known as available. It was an amazing week, and would absolutely stay at Bernard’s villa again. Coco was about seven minutes away and had plenty of restaurants. Several grocery stores. Locals are absolutely lovely
