We had such a fun time staying at Villa Encantada the week of Thanksgiving. There were seven of us in the family and Rene (the house manager), Walther (the chef), and Isabel (the housekeeper who makes beds, refreshes towels each day, and does laundry), are at the house everyday, going out of their way to make everything so fun and relaxing. The house was very comfortable, the bedrooms each had their own bath, which was great. Everything is very nice, modern, well maintained, and very clean. Honestly, you will be amazed at the property, service and location for the price! The private pool was delightful. Walther made dinner three nights and we had breakfast 5 of the 7 days. I highly recommend having dinner at the Villa while you are there. Walther is a fantastic chef and Rene helps him prepare a lovely dinner. Breakfasts were always delicious and relaxing and a wonderful way to start each day. Our adult kids like dining out too, so we did dine out some nights; however we could have easily had dinner every night at the villa and we would have loved it. We arrived and were greeted with quacamole and margaritas–what a fun way to start a vacation. Even the nights we went into town for dinner, we arranged to have Rene and Walther make quacamole, nachos and margaritas! What a treat! I can’t say enough about how nice Rene , Walther and Isabel are–you will just love them. The location of the villa is terrific. You can actually walk down to a very nice beach. It’s a hike back up (the house is up on hill)– so be aware of that. However, cabs are really easy to get and cost about $3 to take you down the hill and into town. The main road doesn’t have sidewalks–if it did, it would be a short walk into town. The house is such a short distance to the Romantic Zone, which has lots of restaurants and is a fun area to walk around. All in all, we just had a wonderful time staying here. We really miss Rene, Walther and Isabel–they really spoiled us! You won’t be sorry you chose Villa Encantada for your vacation!
