Schade, dass wir abreisen mussten. Hier hält man es lange aus…..
Pros:

Einfach wunderschön! Zimmer top und makellos , Restaurant absolut köstlich (der Eigentümer kocht selber nachdem er in der Schweiz gelernt hat, wir haben den besten Fisch unserer gesamten Reise dort gegessen), Pool ein Traum und schönes Yogastudio.

Pros:

L’établissement en soi est une petite merveille, la décoration est soignée, les bungalows sont confortables et conçus avec goût. La douche extérieure apporte une touche particulièrement agréable. La piscine dans son écrin de verdure est un havre de paix.

Cons:

Malheureusement l’établissement nous a attribué un bungalow (qu’un couple avait refusé avant nous) qui avait vue sur une maison en chantier…. Avec pour conséquence du bruit, de la lumière, un manque d’intimité, et le non respect des promesses de vue paisibles sur la nature annoncée. Le samedi les travaux ont duré jusqu’à 22h et ont recommencé le dimanche ! Et cela sans même une excuse ou une possibilité de changer de bungalows. Il a fallu faire 2 réclamations pour qu’il nous soit proposé de prendre gracieusement le petit déjeuner pour le leger désagrément !!! . Mais ça ne rendra pas que les conditions n’ont pas été respectées, sans excuse, et que nous avons pas pu profiter de ce cadre magnifique comme il se doit. Inadmissible pour un établissement de ce prix et ce standing. Donc très frustrant.

Voor herhaling vatbaar
Pros:

Leuke villa’s op een klein resort. Eigen terrasje in de natuur . Lekker fijn breed 2 persoons bed ! Niet te hard en niet te zacht . Fijne hoofdkussens en voldoende handdoeken. De douche buiten was heerlijk en aansluitende ruime badkamer .
Zwembad was mooi met fijne ligbedden . Restaurant was prima maar gewoon . Geen spectaculaire culinaire keuken maar gewoon lekker en samen een lekkere pure zeebaars als hoofdgerecht delen is ook genieten ! Aardige bediening zowel bij de receptie als bij het restaurant. We zouden zeker terugkomen!

Cons:

Niets !

Pros:

La picina, la limpieza, comida restaurante

Cons:

Que nos recomendaron un tour qué no garantizaba las medidas mínimas de seguridad. El barco se paro varias veces en el traslado el estado de lo chalecos deplorable, y lo peor sin radio y comunicación. Nunca fuimos al parque y lo comprometido en el precio.

Pros:

Villa Coco was simply amazing. The casita was positioned towards the end of the property and had a beautiful view. The grounds were beautiful and the pool was quiet. The restaurant and staff went above and beyond, having breakfast prepared in time for the first dive boat and making a special dessert for us. We could walk to town (1/2 mile) or to the surf beach (1mile) for access to terrific little restaurants, a small market, and of course, the ATM.

Cons:

I can’t think of anything that wasn’t excellent. Villa Coco has their own fresh water well with safe drinking water, extra generators for when the power went out from the rain, an excellent chef, and terrific staff. Santa Catalina is a remote town that is growing. It’s an authentic village with small restaurants, lunches in an abuela’s kitchen, and hanging out with surfers and divers. The local people are kind and dusting off your Spanish skills will make communication easier. If that’s not your vibe, you probably won’t like it.

Nice and relaxing.
Pros:

Nice location with well organized villas.
We stayed in deluxe king room (in one villa two separate rooms). Large and comfortable.
With outdoor shower (only one) and small terrace overlooking forest with two loungers and hammock.

Cons:

One thing that bothered us was the lack of privacy on the terrace, as it’s shared with the neighboring room. I would suggest adding a natural divider—such as a bush, wooden screen, or outdoor curtain—between the terraces so guests don’t face each other directly.
