The primary reason for our lukewarm review is that we lost power for a handful of hours three days in our six day stay. The first time was the first morning we got there. We hadn’t gotten settled yet and so had not charged our phones over night. We woke up to dying phones, no internet to make necessary arrangements for the trip, or ability to make coffee. We contacted the host and it took him 6 or more hours before he got back to us, acknowledging that the power outages were a known issue. Throughout our trip he reiterated multiple times that power loss is a very common issue. Had we known, we wouldn’t have booked the place. I need reliable internet (something the house description boasts) to check in on work. If we had been adequately warned and decided to stay anyway, we would have brought back up battery powered devices, like my toddler’s white noise machine which she relies on to sleep. There were other no substantial glitches as well; the house has no house number making it very difficult for take out and taxis to find. The cats (which guests are warned of in the listing) have left a strong odor on the outdoor furniture, making the space uncomfortable for people with allergies. But mostly, we were turned off by the host’s cavalier response to the electrical issues and failure to appropriately warn guests.

Great place to stay

We rented the whole place. My friend and her husband stayed on the 2nd floor and we stayed on the bottom floor. The entire process getting in the place was smooth and the place was better then we even expected. Their is s pool on the roof which is beautiful and shows almost a 360 view of ISLA. Pool will only be better once the Bar, BBQ and Restrooms are finished. Property Manger was awesome as well as the rest of the staff. I would highly recommend staying at this property.

Wonderful house! Must have the mojitos at Fuego Del Mar. Can't say enough good things about property manager, Alfonso, who went out of his way to help us deal with a problem with the Ferry, UltraMar - TERRIBLE TERRIBLE experience with them losing our luggage (fell off the ferry into the sea! Caught on video!) Due to the location of the house, you will want to have a cart or moto to get around. We also recommend spending a day at Kin Ha. Its free - just have a couple of drinks. There were just a couple of issues with the property. The front door handle easily slides off but doesn't cause any problem with getting in or out of the house. The kitchen sink faucet can only be set on spray and there is some over spray with this so you have to be careful using this. But still, great place to stay. Costs $5 dollars or $100 pesos for a cab ride to the north end beaches.

Overall our stay was great. Easy to get around the island on a golf cart, great restaurants close by. Could use a few more towels when staying more than a few days, as we had to use our towels about 8 times. The pool lights didn’t work, the benches could use an upgrading as they aren’t real stable, and the kitchen faucet wasn’t working without squirting all over us and the counter. Lack of hot water in kitchen was a bit frustrating. Even with all that being said we enjoyed our stay… thank you… too bad your neighbour wouldn’t clean up their yard a bit

This was a great place and was fairly true to the listing. It is not actually a beach front unit, but very close to the beach. The construction happening above the unit was not very relaxing, but we were out of the room the next morning. When we arrived the bed frame under the bed was broken in half (but I didn’t take pictures to document it) so we were charged for the damage. We were a bit rushed to get out on time to catch our early flight, so we weren’t able to clean as much as I would have liked to.

We loved how private it was and Robert was very quick to answer our questions. Very clean & lovely!

It was exactly as advertised. Fully equipped, great location and very responsive and helpful.
