Pros:
A beautiful house with ample space for eating together and lounging around the pool. We really appreciated the very large ensuite bathrooms in every room, as well as one in the main area. Great pool. Stunning views of whales, sunrises, and sunsets!
Cons:
The surrounding neighborhood has a number of derelict buildings and has a run down feeling.
On arrival, the pool was full of green slime. However, it was cleaned by the next day.
The kitchen is very outdated, small and in disrepair. It is quite grimy and there are ants everywhere. Microwave not functioning properly. The fridge shelf fell off and broke when the door was opened. Although the fridge is old, the owner expected we would pay for the entire cost of a new shelf. We settled for paying 50%.
We had arranged with Ana-Laura to have some dinners prepared for us by a local couple. The arrangement was that we would pay them 700 pesos plus costs for groceries. Unfortunately they would never give us receipts and grossly overcharged us… the groceries would have cost less than ⅓ what they asked for. Ana-Laura didn’t seem to care or attempt to make amends.
There was no hot water in two of the four bathrooms during the whole length of our stay as one of the two propane tanks was empty. So half of our group never had hot water.
The pillows were very uncomfortable. This accommodation is in great need of updating and thorough cleaning. One expects a certain level when paying such a high price per night.
