My family rented this villa the week before Christmas, and had a great time overall.
Loved....
1) The view is magnificent. The property is on a hill and the pictures do not do the view justice, it is a full panoramic view of the ocean and the green forest below.
2) The villa has full concierge service, and we took full advantage of that. Bryan from Zindis took care of activities, rental car, dinner reservations, in home massage, personal chef, coordination with cleaning and cooking staff. Edgar is the property manager and he was available 24/7 to help. We had the daily cleaning staff come 2x to tidy up the main room/cook breakfast.
3) Property is in a gated community, which made us feel safe. You can walk to the beach, but it is better to do the short drive.
4) House itself is modern and comfortable. Beds were nice. Pool/patio is great. Showers had hot water/decent pressure.
Things to improve
1) Biggest single issue was fact they did not tell us about construction in the community, including directly below this property. We heard sawing and hammering from 6 am to 6 pm. I understand construction happens, but we paid A LOT ($5000/night) for this rental, and for that price we should have had peace and quiet. Advice is to discount during construction/tell potential renters up front.
2) Hot tub flows into pool so hard to keep it hot and pool cool.
3) Some items could be upgraded at this price pt - coffee, grill, patio furniture.
