Absolutely incredible! Having had the opportunity to travel to Europe, The Caribbean, Hawaii and the Mexican Rivera, this vacation is one that we will fondly remember as one of the best.
From the moment we arrived at the airport, we were greeted by the owner's staff and had a pleasant drive to the resort. Along the way the driver pointed out places of interest that we may want to visit.
The amenities were first class. The Villa was magnificent! Clean, elegant, with incredible vistas. We had a concern if there would be enough activities for our four children. They spent everyday in the Pool, after which they could play Table Tennis, play games, watch movies, or stroll down to the Black Sand Beach! The beach was private and beautiful the black sand reminded us of Hawaii, but without the crowds. It was private and fun. The kids loved the warm water and actually spent more time at the beach then anywhere else we have traveled.
The staff was always at our beck and call. Preparing great food, terrific fresh juices and wonderful, pampering service. Every day started with a good morning greeting, fresh coffee and juices and our choices of food for the day. The driver took us on excursions. We went to a Volcano and enjoyed the local shopping areas where we picked up wonderful mementos and souvenirs!
Walking distance was a fantastic Restaurant called Betos which had great lobster and crab and delicious pizzas for the kids. They also enjoyed the virgin daiquiris in Watermelon, Lime, Coconut, Strawberry, they tried them all. The prices were a fraction paid anywhere else, so we visited Beto's several times.
After dinner, back to the Villa for a night swim and then a great movie in the 100 Inch Screening Room. It really was much more that we had prepared for or had expected. Our only complaint was that time passed to quickly. Before arrival we wondered if we would have enough activities for two weeks, in the end, we wanted to stay another week. Sometimes just reading a book on the hammocks and looking out at the bay was enriching in itself.
Our eldest daughter would like to return with her girlfriends for her 18th Birthday and Graduation. After meeting the staff and becoming close to them, we know our daughter and her friends would be in good company.
We would highly recommend this Villa and Resort to anyone accustomed to First Class travel, with sumptuous amenities and wonderful people. We will definitely return.
