I had the great fortune to stay in Casa de la Torre with eight other friends in the middle of April, and there aren’t enough superlatives to do the house justice. It’s absolutely stunning. The architecture and landscaping are gorgeous—you discover a new detail every day you’re there. The main level is all open concept, making it a great space for entertaining and you’re never far away from the amazing weather and views of the ocean. Every room has its own bathroom, and for as open concept as the main area is, it’s easy to retreat into your own private space for a nap or to read. The owners, Ariel and Ted, are wonderful. They made every part of this trip easy—they were quick to respond to emails, welcoming when we arrived, and left us completely to our own devices while we were on the trip—but ensured we knew they were available at any time to help us with anything we might need. The on-staff housekeeper and groundskeeper don’t speak much English, but are very friendly and accommodating (we had some fluent Spanish speakers in our group which probably made things easier). The location was perfect for us—close enough to all the great bars and resort beaches that we could walk to, but just downtown enough that we didn’t feel like we were only mingling with tourists. There is a rather large and loud nightclub a few blocks away we could hear at night, and the restaurant next door is usually pretty active, but we were a loud group so we felt right at home—and none of the outside noises gave us any trouble sleeping. When selecting the house, our only concern had been the pool. With all the walls, it looked like the pool might not get sunlight for much of the day, but that wasn’t the case—the sun hits the pool from about 11am to 4pm. Ariel mentioned that they often considered heating the pool, which would make for a great amenity in the future (especially for swimming at night), but otherwise I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s also important to note that the house always felt very secure—it’s basically a fortress from the outside, and by the end of the trip we were practically leaving all of our valuables strewn about the house on our day trips. We felt very safe. The five days we were there were paradise and went entirely too quickly, and we can’t wait to go back as soon as possible!
