It's rare that the actual experience meets--and even exceeds--the posting and photos. What a special spot! Alvin was truly the most extraordinary host; he was on top of everything and super responsive and helped us book a variety of outings. He even helped book a car to be delivered to the condo! It was amazing to be steps from the beach and the lovely pool; we spent hours just relaxing with a pina colada overlooking the quiet bay and mostly empty beach. We are already planning our return with family.

A perfect location for our family of 7, including our 1.4 month-old granddaughter - everyone loved it. Close to the beach, right next to the pool and restaurant (Soluna). Went to the Coco Beach area, (several options for groceries), also had great meals at Soda Teresita (dinner) and Cafe Corazon (breakfast). Per Alvin's recommendations; tried the pizza at La Caveja Pizza - very good!, as well as Father Rooster's, which is a "do not miss" - the food was great and the sunset was spectacular!!Alvin and Cesar were very helpful with any questions we had.

The condo was perfect. So many simple things that made our stay easier-a cooler, and especially the child gates. #10 villa is perfect-steps to the beach and the pool/restaurant. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful as I practiced my Spanish. Alvin, the host was great too. He took care of making sure the water was safe to drink and that we had a paknplay for our grandson. He also made wonderful recommendations for dinner.

We loved the location right on the beach - our kids (5,7 and 9) were able to run down in the mornings and play - my husband and I could watch from the deck. The home was clean and comfortable. And being right next to the beach club was so convenient. We would return!

Bahia Pez Vela is a beautiful resort, and Villa Mariposa was as much as we ever expected. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and the excursion opportunities in the area. Cesar and his team were very helpful and accommodating, and we can't say enough good things about how we were treated. Also the food at Soluna was excellent. Overall, we give our experience a "10".

We had a wonderful week at Villa #10, at Bahia Pez Vela Resort. The location, steps from both the striking black sand beach and the resort’s pools and charming restaurant, was ideal. The resort has a friendly family oriented feel. Our hosts Alvin and Carolanne were exceptionally helpful and responsive. Snorkelling right off the beach was very enjoyable.

This is the second time we have stayed at this villa. The property and view are so beautiful! The view of the ocean from the beautiful deck can't be beat and the sound of the rolling waves 24/7 never gets old! The villa is laid out perfectly with the bedrooms on the second floor and living space on ground level. The staff are so helpful, they helped us plan all of our adventures and car rental.

We had an amazing experience! We came with our 2 daughters, 20 and 15, and everyone had plenty of space. The villa was very clean with plenty of towels and linens. The kitchen had plenty of space and everything you needed to cook. It was close to the nearby town for shopping and restaurants.
