3BR Accommodation in Manzanillo

Javier

Excellent, 10 months ago

one of the best airbnbs I stayed in my life. Wow

The house is paradise, with two caveats. You minutes walk from one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. The sand is black/golden, soft/hard. The tropical jungle hugs the coast and you can walk for miles. We saw a Yellow Eyelash Pit Viper on the walk on one of the majestic Ceibas (awesome trees). The house is surrounded by the jungle and during our stay, a troop of howler monkeys called the trees around us home. Toucans, parakeets, and hummingbirds flew in the canopy and around the pool. MAGICAL! The house is beautiful and well-stocked. We were welcomed by the host and were provided with excellent instructions and a couple of welcome gifts. The hosts recommended IAN to be our personal chef for one night. Do it. He is excellent and a very interesting person. Now, a couple of items. They do not have a hot tub. It is a bathtub outside. And, the monkeys make a lot of noise at night. Other than those two items, A PLUS. We loved it. And, far from the crowds.

We had a wonderful stay surrounded by lush jungle and beautiful beaches. Sara gave us wonderful suggestions for activities and restaurants and even helped us order ahead for pickup when we arrived later than expected. The home itself is very clean and was perfect for our family of five (3 teens). They loved the pool and seeing all sorts of wildlife right from the backyard. Highly recommend this Airbnb.

Host Response

Thank you very much. It was a pleasure to have you.

The house is beautiful and at night it looks spectacular. It is surrounded by huge trees and the sound of all the animals. The kitchen is super-equipped and I loved that they had Alexa in every space, so you always have good music. The pool is nice and the decor is also beautiful! I highly recommend it!! On top of that, it's 5 minutes from the beach, which is nice!!! Quiet, without many people and there are little pools of water so you can be in the water all day. I loved it!

I am so happy you loved your stay with us. I would love to have you back anytime.

This place is beautiful. The short walk to the beach is like a scene from a movie - so beautiful. The home is spacious, clean and well stocked. Sara, the property manager, was very helpful. We had one minor issue with a door knob and she was quick to respond and have it fixed. She met us at the house to show us around and had wonderful local recommendations. We will definitely be back and loved the area so much. Pura Vida!

Host Response

Thanks, I’m glad you had a wonderful vacation. I would love to host you anytime.

We loved our stay! We got to see lots of monkeys and toucans in the trees near our house. Hearing the howler monkeys in the mornings was incredible. Pool was great and we loved being within walking distance of the beach. Our host also recommended a private chef and a masseuse - we took advantage of both of those recommendations and we were very pleased with both experiences.

OK, 1 year ago

The location was beautiful/extremely convenient being a 5 min. walk to a beach. Hot tub was very relaxing, but takes a while to fill. The patio areas are very well lit, giving a nice atmosphere. The provided beach accessories were useful -the chairs definitely need replacing. The kitchen/living room villa was very spacious and well equipped. Dishwasher needs replacing. Note: In all the villas, the figs that drop from the trees are extremely loud as they land on the roof. Will definitely cause a startle. Woke us up several times during the night causing a poor nights sleep. The couples villa also has a insect (tiny bugs) problem along the windows looking out to the hammock area. I received about 15 or more bites on my right leg. All doors were always closed in our villa, except for entering/exiting. The pool area ground is poorly leveled causing several puddles of standing water. Hammock needs replacing/cleaning, sun tan chairs spewed rusted water when moving around the pool area.

Hi Jonathan, thanks for your review, although I’m disappointed with only a three star as I strive to ensure everyone who stays here has a fantastic vacation. You are correct about the beach chairs and I replaced them 5 days ago. Dishwasher works perfect, I just used it today. I’m sorry you had a problem, I wish you had asked me for help with that. Yes the figs are loud. However they bring all of the monkeys and all of the toucans daily. Without these trees, and without these figs, we would have no wildlife here, which is what makes this place so special. It just happens to be the season for the figs right now. We have however scheduled to have some of the overhanging branches cut to avoid having so many fall on the house. The pool chairs have been replaced as well.
