My husband and I visited the area for the first time, especially to enjoy the fishing and beautiful beaches. We visited during the slow season (tourist-wise), and even though it was very hot outside, it was such a lovely area to visit and we enjoyed such nice service and hospitality from everyone we met around Buenavista and Los Barriles.
This little house was perfect for me and my husband. Off of the beaten path, in a quiet neighborhood, nice view from the roof top, and across the street from a nice hotel with a yummy restaurant and a little grocery store for essentials. We did not cook at the property (this time!), but we easily could have. The bed mattress was very comfortable, and the air conditioning was great. Also the design of the showers was nice- there is both an indoor and outdoor shower and they are "connected" yet still divided by a door. So my husband could rinse off outside and then step directly into the indoor shower area. The owner, Javier, was also very nice and responsive, and he gave us a lot of tips about the area. It was also very helpful to have a nice ice chest at the house, which we used and took with us when going to the beach, etc.
Final tip: In case you visit this area, we recommend that you rent an ATV to use around town. It makes it so convenient and fun to go to the beaches and restaurants, etc. We rented a side-by-side 4-person ATV, so we could have more shade and also could put the back seats down for more storage during our adventures.
