Lovely place, great host
After getting tired of staying in hotels while our house wast being remodeled, I booked a last-minute trip to Nopolo (Loreto Bay). Given that I was also rehabbing my knee from a surgery that didn’t go well, my wife and I were a wreck. Thus we were THAT guest who has wants and needs and is always bugging the host for something. Through it all, Eliise was responsive, kind, and perfect. By the end of our 12 days, our souls were restored. (We’re old. Full body restoration takes longer at our age! 😁)
The house floor plan and construction is typical of what you find in the Founders Neighborhood (FN) area of Loreto Bay. As others have noted, location is perfect, though that applies to almost every casa in Founder’s Neighborhood. The beach, kayak rentals, a small but surprisingly complete grocery store, a pharmacy, and good restaurants are all just a few steps away. Two more small grocery stores, a great bakery, and more restaurants are about 1/2 mile away, an easy walk.
The kitchen is extremely well equipped with every gadget you can think of. My only minor gripe is that some of the frypans have been mistreated and are ready for replacement (just like things in your own kitchen 😱). The on-site PM is very responsive.
Upon leaving, we told Eliise about some maintenance items that might need attention. Our home not being ready, we stayed another week nearby. The next day, I walked by and saw maintenance folks working on the items I mentioned. Ignore the lone negative review.
