After reading some reviews I was nervous about the location being far from town but I have to say although it is 27 minutes from San Pedro- 19 of that was fully paved with only 8 minutes of dirt roads and potholes-- overall it wasn't a bad commute. Several restaurants are close by to eat at--I specifically wanted access to a pool--Hidden Jewel (formerly John's Escape) is a skip away and had good food an drinks (decent prices) with pool for patrons. I also found Moon Bar a little past Matachica Resort that was adults only and had amazing pizza/drinks-a really cool beach with pool, cushioned beach chairs, and even has a movie night. Getting back to the casita review--much better in person than the pics could describe. The bed was comfortable, the a/c kept the place cool, and location very quiet. It is decorated so cute!! JUST BREATHTAKING location and view. After going into San Pedro several times I found that I preferred being away from the chaos of the city. Highly recommend!
