Amazing Property, Amazing Hosts!
Our family stayed at Casa Arrullo for 2 weeks in Feb/Mar of 2019. The entire experience was great. Gaby was a pleasure to deal with, went out of her way to answer all of our queries, and even purchased a crib for our baby to sleep in while we were there.
The location of the property is fantastic. A walk of under 10 minutes to reach the town center along the beach boardwalk, and restaurants only a few minutes away behind the property. The property itself is located a few steps up from the boardwalk right at the edge of Playa Madera. Playa Madera’s beach is not quite as nice as Playa La Ropa, however it is relatively quiet and only 10 seconds away from the property. There are multiple beach restaurants along the beach, with chairs/loungers available at not cost (unlike Playa La Ropa).
The property itself is great. You enter the property at the pool level with the bungalow entrances located a half story above, accessible via stairs. Each bungalow contained 2 bedrooms, both with AC that worked well, a bathroom, and a living area with table, couch and a balcony. All were in great condition, and extremely clean. The next level up is the amazing open air palapa living area. The photos don’t really do justice to how great a space this is, or how large. In addition to the kitchen, there is a large dining table, 2 hammocks, and tons of seating. A great place to sit and enjoy the sounds of the ocean (although it would be nice if there was some seating available near the edge to truly enjoy the view).
Lastly, our hoses, Leo and Silvia. It’s truly hard to say enough good things about them, they are wonderful people. They keep the property impeccably clean and really go above and beyond to make the stay an experience to remember. In addition to the delightful breakfast served daily, we had Silvia prepare dinner for us on two occasions, which were some of the best meals we had on the entire vacation. For one meal in particular it was for a birthday of one of the members of our family. Leo, Silvia and family went out of their way to make it an extraordinary experience, setting up a dining table near the pool, hanging up balloons and setting out candles for us to enjoy the evening past the sunset. They made it a very special night that our family will remember always. Both Leo and Silvia were also great with our kids, - they really felt like part of our family by the end of the trip. I would recommend this property to anyone!
