An unforgettable holiday where the pace was slow and the locals very kind including the mini market at Punta Mujeres, the hair dresser and folks at Bar Palenka. (more)Priti Patnaik

Memorable parts? This was a lovely holiday and the coastal walks especially glorious. We much appreciated the welcome pack of groceries, the very comfortable and well appointed townhouse, and the flexibility we were given to modify our routes. In the unseasonably hot June weather (30 degrees plus) having our own pool was a great bonus. When the heat curtailed our walks, the local beaches included in several walks were a delight. Tips? Vivian and Alan gave us a warm welcome and provided... (more)Anne Ife

Off grid electricity is used on side produced by the solar panels.... (more)Terrie Shaw

The walks were very enjoyable taking anything... (more)Ellen Common
