Avis Secluded Casita in Lush Garden, Palapa, Small Pool, Near Beach

We loved San Pancho and we absolutely loved staying at this location. I specifically wanted a place that was nice to hang out in because this was our 13 month old son's first beach trip and I had a feeling I'd be hanging out at the Casita more than at the beach. I was right about that and couldn't imagine a better place to be. The setting was absolutely beautiful, the Casita was super comfortable, the pool was wonderful, and we felt very attended to by Marie and Noemy. It truly couldn't have been a better experience. We drove in from Guadalajara so we had a vehicle with us, which I did appreciate. We walked to the beach from the Casita but we drove into town for dinners and to go to the markets for groceries.

We loved staying at Melissa & Bills lovely casita for 5 nights. The staff that greeted us and solved (the few) questions we had were friendly and helpful. The casita is perched in heathy forest above the end of Playa San Pancho. Bird sound, waves crashing below, and breezes were the only sounds at evening and morning. A fully appointed kitchen made fixing breakfasts and lunches fun & easy. The gardens, full of tropical flowers and mexican art integrate beautifully with the surrounding forest. A lovely pool area gets full sun or shade depending on your tastes and will tempt you to stay at your house. We visited in the dry season of early April and so hanging out in the lovely evening was possible without any biting insects. Lovely. This house is up from the beach quite a few steps, but the path down to the road/beach is a pleasing 2-3 switchbacks down the hill to a locked gate at the road. The beach at the north end is uncrowded even on one of the most busy weeks of the year. We availed ourselves of the Tierra Tropical Beach Club for a day-pass... pricier than town but quite beautiful relaxing and good food. There is a mezcal bar in the north end of the beach where you can learn all about this green agave spirit. Maria, the friendly consierge who helped us with any questions we had arranged a golf cart that we rented for 4 days to get to town. I was glad for it as I currently have a back issue... however, walking to town is quite easy down the beach in 25-30 minutes . San Pancho itself is delightful, friendly, artistic, musical, full of amazing food and dinner options, a Tuesday farmers market, an fantastic and energized community center. We were here for "Santa Semana" which is essentially spring break for the Mexican folks who flock to the beaches with family for spring break and we found the vibe at San Pancho a friendly, safe, family-oriented, fun party that was super fun in the evening but not overly crowded. Loved our stay and loved San Pancho.

This is a completely lovely villa. This was our first trip to Mexico, and you might ask how we'd know to compare, but we're avid walkers and went everywhere in town and around the neighborhood, sniffing around and looking at houses, and there's something special about this one. Of the 3 villas in the complex, this one is the smallest, but in our opinion the nicest, and for one reason: it's patio. It is large and shaded. We needed that. Our kids are redheads and got roasted in the sun on the first day. They spent hours on this patio, and exploring the forest around the villa, while the sun was too harsh to go out. The patio is also private and a natural extension of the house. Marie, the concierge, was wonderful, as were the other staff. We'll definitely come again. One thing to note is that there are 93 steps from the house down to the dirt road that leads to the beach. We used this a couple of times a day, but we're the fit types. If you're not, you might struggle. We got a golf cart because the trip tp town is about a mile, and while we walked and jogged it a few times, doing so 3 or 4 times a day for lunch and supper and what not, would be too time consuming. Get a cart!

Just perfect for me and my sisters. Quiet, peaceful, beautifully decorated and cared for. In a wonderful location. Could not have been nicer!

The casita is in the jungle off the beaten path. Exactly what we wanted. The property is amazing. Delightfully artistic and peaceful. Felt very honored to be able to spend 4 nights there. Everything provided and staff was so helpful too!!

My husband and I went here for our honeymoon, and we were so excited to visit this little town of San Pancho and stay here! The second day we were here, I got sick from some Unknown allergies, so that made our stay kind of difficult. The private beach access listed on the listing is a good 5-10 minute walk from the house, and town is an exhausting 30-minute walk in the dead of summer heat. We didn’t rent a car or golf cart because we thought it was accessible and close, but it’s really not. To stay here, I recommend you be in VERY good shape (to walk up the steps and hills and long walks to town). Town is a little over a mile away, depending on where you go. A car would be nice if you play it safe! So plan to either walk a lot or save for transportation. There are taxis in San Pancho, but we didn’t want to blow all of our money on that for one week. For us, I gave it a three stars simply because it wasn’t what we expected. It had a beautiful view, don’t get me wrong!! The jungle animals are no joke, you don’t really want to sit out on the palapa at night. So our stay had to be spent walking to town or sitting indoors. Also, only the two bedrooms have AC, so the kitchen and living room can get a bit toasty. The appliances and everything worked great, it was a very private place, but just not as idyllic as we dreamed of. The owners and staff were amazing, so that’s another plus. I would say that San Pancho and this house is great if you’re looking for an adventure vacation, not a face-mask-and-relax-all-day vacation.

We had an exceptional week in San Pancho and staying at Casita Celestial made it so special! We had entire property to ourselves so got to enjoy the pool! Daniel was exceptional in helping us with any question or need! Robert and Melissa were great in providing us with detailed info and making it a easy trip to plan. All of there contacts were great! Can’t wait to come back with our family! God willing!

We stayed in the Casita which had everything we could possibly have needed but also had the entire property to ourselves! It is a bit out of town and off a dirt road so very thankful to have Otto meet us and guide us in the first time. Pool was fantastic for those lazy afternoons and the views and landscaping are just lovely. Beach is a quick walk down the road (take the stairs) and evenings were spent under the palapa!!! Just make sure to get your groceries on your way in!

This is the second time we stayed in this house and we enjoyed it very much. Just a couple of details, the jacuzzi was not working (no hot water) and was dirty and we could not clean up the sand from the beach before getting into the house because the shower available for that purpose was broken, we let this know to the administrator and the maintenance guy but they said the could get fixed it just after our stay ended. Out of this every thing was ok.

Loved being immersed in the jungle, but within a 5 minute walk to a secluded beach. Owners were great!
