Reviews
Divya
This Villa was amazing!! The house had enough room for our whole family of 7 guests. Central AC upstairs, individual AC units in the room, separate areas and a very nice pool/backyard. The first morning we woke up to monkeys in the trees so definitely beautiful wildlife. The beach is about a 10-15min walk although I recommend renting a golf cart as the villa is a on a hill. Grocery store is 5 mins walk down the street and the Calle Central had bars, restaurants and shops. I would recommend staying here, the Hosts Adrianna and Cristina were very accommodating and quick to plan our day and boat trips!
