Everything was as described and the host, Marco, was amazing. He met me thereafter checking in to make sure I had everything I needed. There is gated security which was a pain at first during check-in, but I came to appreciate it knowing I was in a gated community and they don’t let anyone in without explicit permission- VERY STRICT. If you don’t tell them you’re expecting Uber eats, or uber, they’re not getting in.
If you don’t mind walking a kilometer or two into the local neighborhood you will find everything you need. From bars, restaurants and beauty stores, to pharmacies, car dealerships, ice cream, grocery stores, etc. location location location. 5-10 min ride to the beach, 15 min to malecon, 45ish min to Sayulita. The neighbors were so polite but kept to themselves. Night time was quiet and although we didn’t use the pool, it appeared nice when I walked by. I will definitely be coming back!
