We had a lovely stay at Casa Alamos. Titi was a great host. She sent very clear instructions and recommendations for local restaurants and detailed directions. Tivives beach is very quiet and private, there is not much around the area/walking distance so you have to be prepared with groceries but it is perfect for relaxing and enjoying a quiet beach stay. The house was beautiful and spacious and the outdoor space was beautiful. The air conditioner in one of the rooms wasn’t working but titi called me in advance to let us know about it. We would definitely stay again.

Titi was an incredible host! She was extremely helpful before the trip by giving details of restaurants, grocery stores, and activities to do in the area. She sent extensively detailed directions on getting to the home, which was helpful for us as first-timers in a new country. She responded quickly to all of my questions and actively ensured our stay was comfortable. This home is so peaceful and we felt welcomed by so many in the community. It was the perfect vacation for relaxing, unplugging, and being one with the natural beauty of a new country. Thank you, Titi!

Host Response

Carla, it’s was a pleasure having you as guests. You and your family will always be remembered by us as kind and very nice people. You are always welcome back and we will be waiting for you. PS your Dad loved it… I know.

We had an amazing stay at this tropical paradise. The rooms were nice, the ac worked great. The only thing that would deter me from renting again is the stairs to the beach. They are basically unusable, making it not the walk out to the ocean as listed, but a short walk down an alley way of sorts to the “parking lot”. The sunsets and beach are gorgeous though. It’s very shallow for a long while, making watching sunsets very magical.

Host Response

Hello, and thank you for your feedback. I’d like to clarify a few points. The listing does not indicate that the property includes beach access, so we were surprised to receive a four-star rating in that category. Additionally, in the pre-arrival information we clearly noted that Waze must be used for navigation, as Google Maps is unreliable in this area. Unfortunately, if those instructions were not followed, that is outside of our control. Regarding communication, we respond to guest calls immediately and take pride in being highly responsive hosts. For this reason, we were also surprised by the four-star communication rating, as we consistently maintain five-star standards. We appreciate your feedback and will continue striving to provide an excellent guest experience.

Titi was amazing. She was truly one of the best hosts we have ever had! She was always available for our every need! She was easy to talk to and very accommodating. She provided LOTS of suggested places to eat or shop prior to us getting there. As well as video footage on how to get to the house. (Which was VERY helpful!) The house was amazing and it was very clean. The view was perfect! The back yard was immaculate and was perfect to hang out in the sun by the pool, in the shade on the outdoor couch, or BBQ dinner! If we could give 100 stars we definitely would! We hope to come visit and stay there again one day!! We definitely recommend!

Host Response

I am sooooo glad you enjoyed your stay. We really hope you come back. Thank you.

This is a beautiful home and the host is quick to respond and gave great recommendations. If it was in a better location with cleaner beaches, it would be ideal. We spoke with neighbors and they said it very unusual to have ships sitting out in the bay. I understand driftwood on the beaches but to have lots micro plastic washing in. We went to play in the waves and got hit by some plastic, tires etc. plus it’s a bit far from any attractions and supermarket. One thing, the convenience store by the gate is a shiester. Charged $40 for one small case of water and 2 bags of ice. We had requested that the grass be mowed, but never was. The amount paid for the week we would expect it to be freshly cut. Again, the host and home were wonderful. Just not what we were expecting with the beach.

Host Response

The grass was cut less than a week before you arrived. This type of grass that we use is suppose to be a little longer than the grass used in the USA. Too bad we were judged by your grass standards. There is drift wood in the beach.
