It was love at first sight!
Everything was above and beyond our expectations upon arrival. Our flights were delayed in the states. As a result, we arrived in the evening. We contacted our host, Kelli and she immediately helped us to rearrange our transportation for the next day. Our driver was there waiting. He provided a cooler with ice and took us to gather a few staples at the nearest grocery store before our drive to Los Barriles. The van was comfortable and air coniditioned.
Exhausted, we walked into our sparkling clean unit so perfectly arranged, took a look at the unobstructed view of the sea from our varanda and fell in love! Everything was as described and whatever we needed was at our fingertips, even Kelli, with her quick response to our text messages. She answered all our questions including providing additional tourist information on nearby attractions.
The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, including spices. It has a full sized refrigerator, and best of all, a brand new reverse osmosis water system!! This was very important to us as it decreases the need to buy plastic water bottles and we drink a lot of water! The dishwasher wasn't working during our visit and we couldn't care less. Everything else was so fabulous! The unit was accurately described!
We especially loved our daily dose of the sunrise! We read about the sunrise in other reviews, bottom line, it's breathtaking! I even brought eye mask, thinking I would sleep in. However, I became addicted! Because, each morning, the sun uniquely rises for your eyes to behold. That is beyond words! We couldn't miss a day. We drank our coffee and did our morning meditations and journaling every day of our visit!!
Since we were there for a month, it was fun to meet others. Every single person we encountered on the property and in the local stores and restaurants were happy and friendly! The front desk at the hotel was also helpful in answering any of our questions, gave us directions and helped us to rent a car. We tried all the places suggested by Kelli and loved.
This was our first time out of our country for a month and we absolutely LOVED our home away from home. We could not find one negative thing to say about our stay and experience. We can't wait to come back!
One last thing, the laundry service!! Five US dollars per load! We sent your clothes out and they came back warm and folded with a sweet fresh smell. Just, Wow! We loved every little thing!
