Mercedes’ house is lovely- spacious, well equipped, welcoming, great pool, private large garden, great cleanliness. The garden is even bigger and more secluded than the photos suggest. The check-in arrangements with staff from the nearby resort are super easy and gave a sense there was help on hand if required. However the resort is far enough away that there is total silence at the villa. This villa is very close to local supermarkets, Arenal beach and cafes etc. Car is a must have as coves noves is a hilltop location (and for that reason, quiet and breezy in the heat). Stunning views and multiple dining and sitting areas. Even swimming towels provided. Superb stay. Highly recommend. We have stayed in this area for years and this is one of the best.
