10/10 Excellent
"Our family loved our stay at Villa Alamandra! We traveled as a family of five with two kids (ages 6 and 11), my husband, and grandma. The villa is gorgeous, spacious, and immaculate. The pool is a major plus; it stays at a cool temperature which is perfect for a plunge after a long hot day at the beach. All the rooms have AC to make it comfortable to sleep at night. None of the host’s photos show the beautiful high vaulted ceilings on the top level; the ceiling look almost like a ship. My kids loved seeing the same family of monkeys that visit the property every day just before sunset. The tap water is totally drinkable and actually tastes good! The villa is super quiet and we felt totally safe. I really cannot think of any negatives about this place; the parking can be a little tricky but you get the hang of it. I highly recommend this villa for families; you will love it! We will definitely re-book this place in the future!"

"This place was amazing! Tou can tell they put a lot of love into this property. Michelle was the one that greeted us and she was so sweet and informative. The property definitely has an island vibe. No air-conditioning anywhere except the bedroom but to be honest, the breeze was so wonderful you didn't feel like we needed much. We used the kitchen every day and it was stocked with all the essentials cooking tools. The outside shower at night was amazing! Beach access is a short walk away in either direction. I would definitely stay here again!!"
