A little bit of Paradise !
Review Submitted: August 21, 2009

We knew we had found something special by the first morning, breakfasting on the terrace watching whales go by!
I think the property description is too modest. Everything is luxurious, fresh, spacious, spotless and the house is architect-designed to capture the breeze so we were comfortable on even the hottest days. There are truly uninterrupted spectacular views from the terrace and pool (divine!) with lounge chairs for sun-lovers and plenty of shade on the veranda for others. All of the bedrooms have ocean views with sliding doors opening directly onto the pool terrace or garden, plus plenty of clothes hanging/storage space. The en-suite shower rooms are decorated in beautiful locally- handcrafted tiles as are the built-in vanity tables with mirrors in each bedroom (the perfect set up for our adult group each wanting our own creature comforts).
We were there on the recommendation of friends here in France and it lived up to our high expectations. It is extremely well furnished and the owners have provided every comfort. Beds comfy with good linens. Good water pressure, with water heated by solar panels. Handy WiFi and washing machine. The kitchen, fully equipped, has two sink 'zones' and an island so everyone can help themselves with no turf wars. We made very good use of the separate bar area with sink and fridge-freezer. A big plus: it is virtually mosquito free all day and all night (except for maybe 10-15 minutes just after sunset when we covered up or closed the screens) so perfect for outdoor living and dining. The cluster of homes are served by an on-site management office which takes care of things like delivery of drinking water and daily maintenance. Quirks: it is Mexico, after all, so the normal practice is to use water and energy wisely. We appreciated massages by a local lady who comes to you. Other villa owners we met could not have been more easygoing and friendly- a charming, unspoiled neighborhood. Huatulco has a variety of good restaurants (try the Kristal Rose) plus shops, services,fresh markets and supermarkets. The golfers in our group raved about the local golf club while others enjoyed the beach, which we usually had practically to ourselves.
Trish, the owner, was delightful and prompt to deal with from beginning to end. Overall a deluxe holiday and excellent value. Our ten day stay in March was wonderful. Highly recommended.
