overall a good experience, good location and easy access to everything you need provided you rent a golf cart. the waterfront is beautiful but full of crocodiles and Iguanas that spends the day on your deck. The ad includes a shared swimming pool that gives the impression that it is shared by 1-2 neighbors but it belongs to the entire area including an entire condo complex. A good and clean house but the ad was somewhat exaggerated.
We felt very well prepared for our trip with the help Lourdes provided. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The locals give you a feeling that they are happy to have you visit.
It would be helpful to have suggestions on how to avoid the bug bites
There were many things to like about Villa16 Mara Laguna. Lourdes the property manager was great about communicating, and answered all our questions promptly. The property is gated with a watchman 24/7 which made us feel quite secure. The location was conveniently within walking distance of some restaurants, and a small grocery, and we were able to walk to the downtown area easily. The accommodations were up to date, and comfortable. It is located in an area that is very quiet, making for a relaxing visit.
We did, however, have a couple of issues. The master bedroom had an odor that even the air conditioning did not diminish. No one was willing to sleep in that room because of it. Thank goodness one room had twin beds.
And, there was never any hot water. This made for quick showers.
Overall, it is a decent place with issues that should be easily remedied.
We enjoyed our stay at Villa 16 and found the property clean and comfortable for 6 adults (3 pairs). It was well furnished and in a good location. It is close to the town but quiet. Only one of the patio chairs was comfortable however, so lounging on the patio was difficult. Overall a very nice place.
Great little home away from home. Lourdes was excellent, she answered all my questions quickly and helped arrange a golf cart rental. It was super peaceful on the lagoon and walking distance from a great coffee shop. Had all the amenities you could need, including filtered water, laundry machine/detergent, coffee maker, sunscreen, fins etc. Def will rent here again and recommend you do too! Thanks Lourdes!!
We had such a great time! The villa was the perfect size with all the items we needed. It was fun to watch the wildlife outside in the back patio. There is 24/7 security which was nice to have and a shared pool on site that is very well kept. Lourdes was amazing - she was in communication with us and helped us make this trip smooth - lifesaver! All in all 10/10!
