Just Paradise and I Want To Go Back
We LOVED staying here!
Highlights:
- Fast and easy walk to the beach.
- THE BEACH! There were hardly any people there, it's very natural, and it's got a beautiful forest right behind it. Walk a little ways through the trees and there are a bunch of vendors with some awesome food and souvenirs.
- The pool was always clean and the kids especially had a blast swimming.
- There's a super nice woman who lives on-site and you can pay for her to cook and buy groceries for you. OMG her cooking was crazy good. My favorite was the sweet sticky mango rice, and also the curries, pad Thai, and everything fried! She also cleaned and even did our laundry, and when we left she gave us a bunch of bananas that she'd picked right there on the property (they were delicious!). And don't get me started on the mangoes, just thinking about them makes me want to go back right now. I really appreciated that she gave us our space/privacy as well.
- Awesome view, it was so relaxing to just chill by the pool and look out at the jungle.
- The property is gorgeous with tons of different plants and flowers.
- Mark also got us in touch with someone to pick us up from the airport and we ended up getting a couple rides from them and even renting a car for a day. They were awesome.
- The area has so much to explore and see, especially if you like more quiet and natural surroundings. I think the forest by the beach is a national park?
- Mark communicated a lot with us before our stay and gave us tons of information. Even while we were there he checked in to make sure everything was good.
Cons:
- Be careful with young kids. We had a couple scares with ours, just because there are some balconies with large gaps in the railing and long drops to the ground. A baby could easily fall through. Also the pool doesn't have a gate or anything around it, so be super careful with non-swimmers. There was some printed information inside the house that actually warned that it wasn't built for children, but I don't remember seeing that in the listing. Anyways, we still loved it but we had to keep a close eye on the kids.
- I wished there were at least a couple of windows or doors with screens so we could get a breeze at night without the bugs.
All in all, it was a great stay and we would definitely come back!
