Las Amapolas is great for couples wishing to be away from the party scene, getting some one on one time, this is the perfect spot!
It was a very peaceful, relaxing place to reconnect with one another.
Sunrise on the pier was gorgeous.
Nellie sent someone to pick us up from the water taxi, took us to the office to check in, where the golf cart she reserved for us was waiting for us. We followed her assistant in the cart to the Casitas so we would know the easy one road route to and from town.
The rate was very good for the week and we were not required to refill it with gas. Upon our departure, we simply left it at Nellie's and they drove us to our water taxi.
Tips for future guests:
1. Before leaving downtown, buy some snacks and drinks (+water) to keep in the fridge. Groceries are much less expensive downtown. There are two restaurants within a 5 minute walking distance but they only serve lunch and dinner and are a bit on the expensive side. Also, they only serve until 9 pm.
2. Keep $5 USD on hand for the bridge toll between North island and downtown.
3. Be prepared for the commute. It's about45 minutes one way because you must drive slowly and carefully around the dirt road potholes. :-) We enjoyed this as an adventure, but it's important to know in advance what to expect. It was more fun coming back home after dark because the potholes were easier to identify by their shadows.
We had a GREAT time and would definitely love to come back. The more secluded style beach was exactly what we were looking for. The bed was comfortable, the towels nice clean and fluffy, the room very clean and neat.
Get up early for sunrise on the pier! :)
Nellie and team were very responsive when we needed something. It was best to communicate via the AirBnB app on our phone, using the WiFi provided as it is easiest for the property team to reach us.
Loved staying here. Five Stars!
