Very nice and excellent service

Our stay had positive aspects, but there were also some significant issues that greatly affected the overall experience. The house is in a good location and has nice features, and communication was always friendly. However, there was one key issue that was never properly resolved during our stay. From the start, we reported that the pool chemicals were too strong. This caused discomfort for all of us who used it (skin, eyes, and even hair), and unfortunately, it didn't improve despite follow-up. In fact, two of the children even developed a visible skin rash after using it, which was concerning. We made sure to report it from the start, but the situation was not addressed in a timely or effective manner. By the time an attempt was made to do something about it, our stay was almost over, so we were unable to fully enjoy one of the property's main amenities.

Host Response

Thank you for your feedback. We'd like to clarify that we responded promptly to every concern raised — dispatching our pool technician immediately on March 30th and again on April 1st, though he was unable to access the pool as guests were using it at the time. We did not hear from the guests again until April 3rd, the day before departure. Regarding the skin reaction, the photos showed redness on the neck and shoulders, which is more consistent with sun exposure than pool chemical contact. In all the years of operation with the same pool maintenance professional, we have never received a complaint like this. We stand behind our response and the care we provide to all our guests.

Good afternoon, our stay was great. Just as a recommendation, they should put a toilet and shower in the pool area. I also suggest plastic dishes for the pool area, and that they offer the use of umbrellas to take to the beach and about 6 folding chairs. The detail of the carafes and ice bags were perfect. The photos should be updated, since the ones of the exterior are old, everything looks free and nothing to do with the buildings that are already around. Overall, good!!

From the beginning, Katrina was very friendly and helpful, always available for any questions or support. Lionel was in contact with us at all times, both for check-in and check-out, and also to help us with any additional needs such as chef recommendations or food issues. He was always attentive and very helpful. The accommodation is very comfortable, pleasant and we felt right at home. Definitely a highly recommended experience.

The house is absolutely beautiful! Very spacious, the bed are big and comfortable, great amount of bathrooms, and vary spacious. We were 9 ladies and we all loved the house. The view is amazing and the pool area is so nice. The property manager (we had contact with him once we got to La Paz) was very nice and responsive. We even met some of the cleaning ladies and they were so nice too. We had a great experience with this house! 10/10 recommend!

Beautiful stay and the same for large groups, Katrina was always attentive to any questions, as was Lio, they supported us with airport transportation - stay and vice versa, even a few extra trips to the supermarket, and chef service. The accommodation is beautiful, somewhat far from the bar area, which made it very comfortable and quiet to spend the night in the courtyard without the noise of the city. I would definitely come back.

The house is very nice. It's super spacious and recommended for a large group. It is well located and has a very nice view of the sea and the Mogote peninsula. You can see the sailboats all the time. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and fresh, the kitchen is spacious, and the pool area is also a good size, with a round table and some ideal beds to live with the rest of the group. The only thing I suggest improving is the frequency of cleaning the pool, which by the fourth day was not ideal. Generally speaking, it is a highly recommended house.

Host Response

Hi Dante, Thank you for your thoughtful review and kind words about the house — we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the space, views, and amenities. We did want to mention that upon your departure, the house was left in a very poor condition, with trash not taken out as outlined in the house rules and food left in the kitchen in pans. We always appreciate guests respecting the space and following checkout guidelines so we can keep the home in great condition for everyone. Wishing you the best in your future travels.

Katrina's Airbnb is the PERFECT place to chill and reset! The home is large enough to spread out, if alone time is needed. It has a lovely back patio, with a pool, that faces the ocean. Located on a hillside, the evening sunsets were amazing! Very relaxing! She also recommended a personal chef that used 3 of our 4 nights, which was a game changer for our group!!! Our guys would come in after a long day of Spearfishing and would not have to get ready to go out to dinner. We enjoyed every meal on the patio. I highly recommend this place, especially if you want peace-and-quiet with an amazing view.

We had a big, multigeneration family vacation at the house. It is very spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for all of us. We loved having a heated pool for our grandkids, and also loved sitting out on the deck all together in the evenings, enjoying the view. We went out and did things during the day every day, and it was easy to drive places from the house. Katrina always responded quickly to my questions ahead of time, and her local manager, Lio, was very helpful while we were there.

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The location couldn’t have been better—just a short drive to local attractions, great restaurants and downtown. It made exploring the area so convenient. The home came with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host Katrina and manager Lionel were incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs, checking in to ensure we had everything we required and offering helpful local tips. The neighborhood felt very secure, with quiet streets and a security guard at the gate. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again!

Great home to stay at. It came with everything we needed. The manager Lionel was on top of everything, every time we had a question he got back to us quickly. Great recommendation on his part for a chef to come to the house that was awesome. The pool was nice ,that outdoor patio overlooking the ocean spectacular. Views are spectacular throughout. Minor things the group thought could be better. The pillows are a lil on the small side. Also we flew in from TJ we didn’t pack beach towels a few people of the group took beach towels from the house to the beach we returned them but the owner doesn’t agree to take beach towels to the beach not sure what we were supposed to do buy beach towels I guess. Overall great stay . Thank you

Host Response

Thank you for the great review Daniel. I do want to mention that we have separate beach towels that were located in the laundry room, but your group took pool towels to the beach instead. I do apologize if that was not explained to you when you checked in.

All I have to say is WOW! Katrina was very responsive from the very beginning. We booked the trip almost a year in advance and she would always respond right away. Her home has wonderful amenities and great views of the ocean. The pictures that are posted are spectacular but being their in person is much more impressive. From the moment we stepped onto the property we felt right at home. The house is conveniently located close enough to all of the beaches and the the downtown area but far enough away where you feel separated from the city life. We would definitely book again!

Second year staying at casa de palmas and plan on staying here again next year. Everything was great!

We had a very nice time at Katrina's house. The house is very well located with an incredible view of La Paz and its sunsets. The interior of the house is very clean and tidy, as well as the private pool to enjoy. The people who work with Katrina are very attentive, Lionel is always attentive to any situation. Nelva and Roberto are wonderful people. We are surprised by their attentiveness. The best thing was that we didn't have to worry about anything, since they made it easy for us to get from the airport to the house and to the other tourist places. The supermarket was ready in the house and Nelva's food was simply delicious. We would return to the house in La Paz many times!

Great property great location. Lionel is spectacular and able to help. Katrina is quick to respond. Kitchen is well stocked. Speaker in back yard is great. It is chilly and pool simply does not get up to temperature this time of year. Save yourself the pool charge and simply wait for better weather. Mattresses are a little tough and backyard new construction is a pain but should be competed soon. Nice gated community with friendly staff makes you feel safe. Beautiful sunrise / sunsets

Great view but the communication with the hosts it’s hard because they leave in charge a guy name Miguel that don’t help very much with instructions and rules and don’t pick up the phone.

Host Response

I disagree. There was no difficulty with communication and we have never had a complaint about the management. It is unfortunate that you felt the need to find an issue because you and your guests did not follow the check out instructions. The house was left in a mess, with trash all over the kitchen and the backyard. Clearly you were upset because we had to charge you extra for cleaning due to the fact that we had to bring in an additional cleaning crew on a Sunday to clean the house. We have always gone above and beyond to make sure our guests have everything they need and are always there to assist with any and all necessary needs.

Thank you very much katrina , very nice your house, everything is perfect.

After spending last week in La Paz with our family we all came away with a very nice experience. The house was beautiful and the staff was wonderful. They met our every need and went beyond to answer all our questions. Since my husband and I are in our upper 70's and have some health issues, a car was a must have. Our other family members walked up and down the hill constantly with no effort. The house has a lovely view that can be admired from almost every room in the house. Thank you to everyone, Laura Rowley

We spent one week in this beautiful and spacious home and loved it! The sunset views are spectacular and a really nice way to end the day. The pool was great but pretty cold, even when we turned on the heat. So we just used it without the heat. We had issues with the water running out, for a few hours one morning and on the morning we left, other than that, no other issues. Overall, excellent home and I would definitely come back!

The house was beautiful and very clean! View was amazing! We are family of 9 (3 generations) and the layout of the house was great. The senior citizens stayed in the downstairs master bedroom so that they were on the same level as the kitchen and living areas. The rest of us stayed upstairs. There is another master bedroom upstairs as well. There was plenty of space and bathrooms for us all. Although the weather was fairly warm during our visit in February, the pool water was cold so we paid the extra fees to warm the pool water. There were also a few pool toys to enjoy. We all really enjoyed the relaxing on the outdoor patio and in the pool! Also, we didn't need it much but the air conditioning worked well and each bedroom had a TV. An added bonus was having a water cooler in the kitchen. We really appreciated that!

Such an amazing home! It was VERY clean, the host answered questions immediately, the view was to die for. Expect a 5 star stay in this home. This truly was a home away from home, very inviting from the moment you check in. I didn’t want to leave the property at all.

Beautiful house, great location..

This place was amazing! The house is exactly as described and comes with all the amenities that you or a group would need to have a sensational stay in La Paz. The daily cleaning services and the care taker Miguel were great and available to help if anything arose. The neighborhood is gated with a security guard on duty for enhanced safety. The rooms, the living space, the kitchen, the pool and certainly the views were awesome and perfect for our group of 8. The only thing that disappointed was the fact we booked a shorter stay. We would love to come back and enjoy La Paz again in such a great house.

amazing place to stay at. if you are looking for a calm, secure, enjoyable home in La Paz with amazing views for your group, think no more!! This home is beautiful and has an amazing view. we felt secure all the time and Katrina is an excellent host, she answered all my questions promptly and was also involved when needed. The cleaning person Katrinq has, Elvira was 100%, she was not only hard working but very welcoming. you will feels like at home. overall an amazing stay!

Pros The house is beautiful. It’s a huge home that has plenty of space for a group. 4 of the 5 rooms have ocean views which I though was impressive. The pool area was incredible. Plenty of seating. Plenty of lighting. Plenty of space. They have grills out there which was awesome to be able to grill. The sunsets were incredible to watch. It was breathtaking. The staff were incredible including Katrina, the home owner. Everyone was extremely friendly. The housekeep came everyday during the week and did way more than we anticipated. She did laundry, made our beds, and did our dishes along with many other things. Since she’s there all day, I wasn’t sure how to navigate having her around. For example, I wanted to go to my room to take a midday nap but she was cleaning and I didn’t want to interrupt her but that was minor and I’m sure I couldn’t just told her not to clean our room that way. The location felt very safe. It was gated and there is 24 hour security. Raul was the day time security person and he was very nice and friendly. It is impossible to get picked up by an Uber so you need to get all down to the bottom of the hill to catch an Uber which is about a 10 minute walk. The Uber will drop off inside the gate though which is nice not having to walk up the hill on a hot day. The technology throughout the house is great. We really enjoyed the outdoor speaker and being able to stream music. The WiFi is very slow but not surprising for Mexico. That has nothing to do with this house specifically. Overall the best part of the house was the pool area, incredible views, and very friendly staff. Cons Fire pit doesn’t work. The pool heater didn’t work 5 of the days there and that was not communicated to us until day 5. We lost power for about 15 hours the first day. It was an issue with the entire street but very unfortunate and little communication from anyone. As a result, no AC, we were unable to flush the toilets the whole day which was horrendous, no WiFi, unable to cook, etc. Despite the cons, I would stay in this space again and recommend it to others. Thanks for opening your home to us.

Host Response

Thank you for the overall great review but I would like to address a few of the concerns. The power outage was city wide and unfortunately we could not do much to fix it. The fire pit has never worked and it is not advertised as a working fire pit. You may definitely ask the cleaning person not to clean your room (it is completely at your discretion). As I explained in our conversation during your stay the pool heater is brand new we were having some issues with it. and although you had not asked for it ahead of time we did our best to get it to working as fast as possible and did not charge you for the days you used the heater. We also did not charge you for breaking the shower faucet. Thank you again

The house is very nice, very clean, spacious and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. However, a group of 6 unknown people entered at 6:30 am to clean the house on the last day WITHOUT OUR CONSENT. We were never notified that they would do this, and privacy is expected until the check-out time, which was 11:00 am. They had breakfast in the kitchen with our food, which was super uncomfortable because we couldn't have a proper breakfast. I notified Lionel, who is the person who manages the house, and he told them to leave, but they just waited for us in the patio. We had no privacy at all on the last day. On the other hand, the pool heating is not very good. We paid for it, but the pool was never really hot.

Host Response

I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience this caused you and your guests. This has never happened before. The cleaning crew was supposed to come in after 11am. We will not be using that cleaning crew anymore. In regards to the pool heater, it was a new one installed right before your arrival and I am sorry it did not work well for you. Please contact me directly if you decide to book again and we can compensate for the trouble you and guests had to go through.
