The place, staff and host were amazing. Mariano's the man, never more than a 5 minute response to anything.
We wanted to stay forever. There were 10 of us ranging from 18 to 60.
The weather was definitely hot but the ocean breeze was great and right outside your back door. The Mosquitos are no joke so be prepared. The sunsets were beautiful, the water was warm. You can walk about 5 mins along the shore to the resort for day passes with unlimited food, drinks etc..,
I recommend The boat Tour that Mariano suggests, but dont expect to do your own fishing. The Crew anchors a poll while the boat is sailing. Tons of good restaurants, 'aqui & ahora' and Hemmings were my favorites, good food, music, drinks, atmosphere. If you like peanut butter you may want to try the peanut butter Tequila and peanut coffee. The whole cooked fish at Chen Rio was very good. We rented mopeds and had no concerns or fears riding them everywhere. They were about $50 usd per day. The museum in the centro is worth going to, about $7 usd. Taxis are everywhere and reasonable. Be sure you understand what the exchange rate is when talking pesos to your currency. It fluctuated slightly.
It took time getting used to the water situation and not flushing toilet paper so i would recommend getting doggie bags or similar for bathroom usage.
We used chef Francisco and Elsa 3 times, apertizers on arrival and 2 dinners. Worth every penny. I used paypal to pay but there was an extra fee,, still better than bringing a bunch of cash. Francisco and Elsa are the people ever. The Catch of the day was a big hit for every one that chose that dish.
The house is absolutely beautiful. Could use a real deep cleaning to remove some soil on some of the furniture inside and out. The bathroom/shower outside never got cleaned but overall a stunning property. Lupita and Jesus, staff, were friendly and very accomodating.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for the best location, home and staff
