This property was absolutely stunning. Located in a remote area south of Punto Escondido, this place is perfect for a group trip. The staff was incredible (kind, helpful, amazing chefs),... read more the host was easy to communicate with, and the amenities were wonderful. A couple of things to note:

- There is construction directly next door which we were not made aware of. It woke us up every day at 8am and ended at 5pm which completely disrupted the tranquility of the place. Please check with the host about this before booking, as it's very noisy.

- The house is quite remote, so if you're planning to go to town often, note that it takes 25-30 minutes for a cab to arrive, and several hundred pesos each way for the 15-20 minute drive to the south part of Punta Escondido.

- I recommend choosing all meals in advance of arriving. Our group had an unclear schedule so we had to plan a menu daily, which was a lot of logistics.

- The hot tub was broken, but it was so warm we didn't mind.

- The staff makes incredible food, so I highly recommend taking advantage of their talent. They are also very kind and accommodating.

- The beach is empty and absolutely gorgeous. Note that surf is rough (not a surf spot) with a strong current. It's not a place for beginners to swim, but is lovely for walking, wading, etc.

- The pool is perfection, and so is the large common area next to it.

- The speaker system is awesome and easy to use.

Without the construction noise and hassle of getting to town (our fault for not researching this more in advance), this place was perfect and I would highly recommend for a group trip where most of the time people want to stay and relax together at the house.

  I booked Andre’s place for my bachelor party for 12 friends and I and this was one of the best decisions.

Andres is an extremely helpful and responsive host,... read more I always got my questions answered within 5-10 minutes. He also has a recommendation for everything and from my experience his recommendations were always good.

For the house, If you think it looks beautiful in the picture, you will be blown away on how much more beautiful it’s in person. Amazing view to the ocean from the main common area. The rooms are spacious, well ventilated with AC, clean and a very nice design.

The selling point to this house, in my opinion, is the staff. A staff of 6-7 people are taking care of you the whole time. From tiding up every morning, prepping food and the table, to bringing you ice cold beers to the beach while you play soccer with your friends.

This house is one of the best places I have stayed and I would 100% come back.

  Great villa with an amazing pool and semi-private beach. The service was excellent--daily clean towels, beds made, fresh pina coladas! Overall, we had a great stay at the villa, but... read more there were a few things to watch out for:
1. This is villa is not the most accessible if you have anyone in a wheelchair. We were initially told by the host they would be able to provide a ramp (there are various steps to get into the villa/into the pool area), but the ramp built by the staff was very unstable and we ended up having to borrow a board from a nearby business to make our own.
2. The food was hit or miss. We planned the menu in advance and some of the dishes were great (especially the seafood), but other days the food was so-so (the chilaquiles were watery and bland) and there was sometimes not enough food for everyone.
Other notes:
- Melchor arranged all rides we needed with 30min-1hr notice
- massages were awesome
- ~10% tip on total villa price is customary, can be hard to get cash in puerto
