My family and I stayed over the Christmas holiday and we had a fabulous time. The house was a “10”- clean, comfortable, and containing all the amenities a family of five adults could ask for. Positioned on a hill surrounded by mountain tops, lush vegetation, and ocean views, we were greeted each morning with breath-taking sunrises, which were followed by delicious breakfasts (compliments of cooks Maribel and Nani). This house, and vacation, had something unique for everyone: The excellent service and caretaking were favorites of our mother, who finally got to relax on a vacation. Lugo’s hospitality, patience, and service were favorites of my non-Spanish speaking father, since he was able to learn about a new culture, city, and people, despite the language barrier. My sister’s and brother’s favorites were the house’s amenities- watching the sunsets while drinking fresh-made juice cocktails in the pool, to having the option available to return to “reality” and watch the football games on TV, all within our own private luxury. To quote my 23 year old brother, “This house is unreal”. My favorite aspect was the whole experience- working with the owners, Arlette and Carlos, was a pleasure; they were always quick to provide answers to my questions, along with a lot of helpful suggestions. Lugo and family were amazing- I cannot speak highly enough of them. We were close to a few surf spots, too.
The house was perfect for our family to spend time together comfortably, which is important now that we have grown and no longer live close to one another. We hope to return next year to have another amazing experience.
