Excellent place to rest. The apartment was clean, comfortable and as shown in the photos. We really enjoyed our family stay and would definitely come back.

We booked 28 nights and left on day 17. Before booking I asked the host directly whether there was any construction nearby. I was told there was none. There is an active site about 300m away, in sight of the balcony, weekdays. The listing does not mention that the complex runs an intensive pest control programme. When we asked on 13 July, the host sent the schedule: spraying daily Monday to Saturday, plus thermal fogging on Thursdays, all supposedly finished by 8am. It was not followed. Thursday fogs ran at around 5pm, spraying happened twice in one day and on a Sunday, and on Friday 17 July a diesel fog was run at 8am with no warning. It is dense oily smoke and it enters the apartments. We had headaches, eye irritation and broken sleep, and left that morning. There is also a gas water heater in an enclosed kitchen cabinet, and the listing states there is no carbon monoxide alarm. The apartment is comfortable and the views are good. But none of this is disclosed, and we did ask.

The apartment is comfortable and beautiful, the kitchen is very well equipped if you go with family or you are interested in cooking. It has a restaurant close to which you can walk on the beach, if you like surfing this beach may like you, the whole space is pet friendly if you go with your dogs they will be well received and meet other dogs if you walk on the beach when you go down the sun. Carmen is very friendly and gives quick response to inquiries. I would definitely be back :)

Location and complex is great. Beach is amazing to walk in the morning and love the Surf Shack where you find good beach door at great prices. What made our experience a bit less than excellent were: 1) power outage from 7pm to midnight. Power company sent communication about maintenance which was sent to owners, and not passed to us. This made sleeping very hot until midnight. 2) You do not have access to everything. Around the pool and at beach, there are places for owners and other for renters. In the pool, that means seated places with the sun above or in front of you Apartment is very clean and you have view of the pool. Personnel is kind and respectful. And the beach will be right there. We would definitely return.
Host Response
Siento mucho lo de la luz pero ese mantenimiento era de la empresa naturgy, no fue planeado por el proyecto y no teníamos conocimiento del mismo , y bueno si hay lugares designados para los propietarios o otros para los inquilinos como en todos los proyectos hay normas que hay que cumplir.

The stay was extraordinary. Mrs. Carmen was always available to solve queries and help additional to the apt is very spacious, with very nice decoration and with a spectacular view of the social area and the beach. We went as a family to celebrate my mother's birthday and we had a great time especially my 2 year old son who loved the place. As a recommendation I would say that it is better to bring water to drink.

A very nice apartment in a beautiful location. We enjoyed walking on the beach during sunrise and swimming in the warm ocean. Many beach goers were enjoying the surfing. There are several restaurant choices a short drive down the beach in Punta Chame or in nearby Coronado. Playa Caracol in still developing new properties, but we were never bothered by the construction. We look forward to our next visit.

This is a great weekend spot for surfers that want to take advantage of enjoying a good swell. You can check the surf report right from the balcony. If you are learning, there is a surf school next door. For those that prefer the pool, there is a lovely social area and plenty of shaded bohíos and chairs for enjoying an afternoon lounging around. Carmen is very communicative and concerned about you enjoying your stay. Her apartment is clean and is very comfortable for 6 guests. We enjoyed using the large kitchen to make family-style breakfast and appreciated being able to connect to the Bluetooth speakers in the living during our stay.
