3 Month Availability Snapshot for this Vacation Rental
"We stayed in one of the slightly smaller places--they are all around that central pool--I can't remember the name. It really was just lovely, and not at all small. The one we stayed in had three bedrooms, one with a king bed and two with twins. All the rooms were very nice and included a complete bathroom (not sure I remember any bathtubs if you care about those). The whole place was very spacious, high ceilinged, lots of windows to let in let a cross breeze. It had a few little private patio areas in addition to the shared pool/hot tub space. Was a great place for my older (70ish) parents to begin their first real trip outside the U.S., as it was just so pleasant and safe feeling. We also had our 5 year old daughter with us. We picked this place partly because of the pool, and she had a great time cannonballing the afternoon away every day. The pool was a little brisk for me, so I enjoyed the hot tub instead. I do agree with the one reviewer who said it feels more like 7 longish blocks to the square. Not an issue at all if you are used to walking/in decent shape. My folks were feeling a bit under the weather, so combined with all the other walking (find a bank, find food, look around etc) it did feel a little far...I forgot how much walking around you usually end up doing in latin america w/out a car. That said, I could have easily grabbed a tuk tuk or cab for everyone when they started to get worn out. Everyone who helped us out--mostly we spoke with Paola who speaks English well--was super helpful. We did have one small misfire--didn't find anyone to pick up up when we arrived at the airport. Wasn't a big deal to just grab a different ride, I speak enough Spanish. If you've never been to latin america though, and haven't dealt with the throng of taxi guys, that can be a bit intimidating. We had several other rides arranged through Sofia/Paola/Phillipa & all went well. My daughter made friends with Fernando, the guy who took us out to Lake Atitlan & back, and to the airport. If you stay, Hugo's Ceviche truck is close (head up the big road divided by the median, toward the market) and very good! Yes, you can get ceviche out of the back of a pickup truck. There's also grocery store up that same street, and various fried chicken places, so food wasn't too far, once we got oriented. Overall, a great place, I'd stay again for sure."
