We stayed a week (family of 6 adults 1 child) at the beautiful Villa Vista de Aves and had a great stay. The best part was the beautiful ocean view and amazing staff. Samuel was our houseman and he was great with all planning and communication. Noemia was our incredible chef - she had a list of great items for breakfast and dinner and special requests. She is incredibly talented and everything was delicious. It was such a treat to not have to worry about cooking or dishes. Noemi was our housekeeper and the villa and rooms were always clean.
Pool: Smaller than it seemed in pics; 'upper pool' is more just to wade and read in, but is only 6” deep
Rooms: Good sized; ok mattresses; bedding, sheets, pillows, towels were good quality.
Living Room: The couch is uncomfortable, slides around and the cushions make it hard to settle in.
Location: close to the main road, so heard some cars/trucks
Children: the pool has some steep drop offs, there are stairs throughout, etc. We kept an eye whenever she was outside.
Cost of Food and Tips: more expensive than we thought, but we did order steak/fresh fish. Get pesos to pay staff back (better exchange rate). We tipped $125-150 each day. Staff will pre-stock house with items and shop during week.
Airport Transfer: Price included paid airport transfer...we had a roomy van & ample AC.
Overall, 5 star stay and be aware of some of the considerations above. The staff truly made the stay special and were so nice and helpful to our entire family.
