The photos are accurate but somehow don't really show the true beauty.
Where to start...
Communications with Maria were great. She responds right away and is always ready to help. Adán, the caretaker, is a perfect host. Keeping everything spotless and always with a smile.
The Kitchen/Living Space has really great appliances. A super cold fridge, six burner gas stove and oven. Lots of dishes, good quality cooking vessels and was really easy to manage. We cooked a lot and it was super fun. If I had a recommendation it would be to make sure to come with anything you can't live without. (paper towels, pepper, hot sauce, sugar and of course the food you want to eat). You can always go in to Mismaloya to buy food (down the road, through the gate and head up the road to your left, by the river).
The top patio is fantastic. Every morning I got up at the crack of dawn, pulled out a lawn chair and listened to the birds and watched whales. There are so many species of birds here, chachalacas, parrots, turkey vultures to name a few. And of course watching the sunrise. Breathtaking!
Rooms are great. Maria's #48 photo has a good visual of the big room with the internet. The other rooms are smaller, all lovely. Each with its own character. Lots of towels supplied. Would recommend bringing extra toilet paper if you have a longer stay.
Jungle Pool is fantastic. What a setting. Deep enough that you can actually get a bit of a swim in. Adán cleans every morning. There are some resident iguanas on a nearby rock which adds to the jungle feel (also, they are harmless and scamper off when humans are around). Spent many hours here, when I could pull myself away from the patio.
Travelling from Casa to Mismaloya: It's high, on a steep hill. I really enjoyed the walk and did it every day. If you are not keen on hills get a business card from one of the fellows at the cab stand (across the road at the foot of the hill or call an Uber).
I would highly recommend this Casa. A most tranquil setting and an unforgettable experience.
