Dad’s review:
We had the pleasure of staying at Casa Chilin at the start of the Cornavirus crazies. Our hosts were wonderful with communications and questions as uncertain times sprang up all around us. The condo was perfect for our family of four for home base as we explored the island. It’s a nice walk to the Kings and Queens shops, which we did nearly daily with our almost 4 year old and six year old. A Bay is also close enough to walk--about double the distance to the Queens MarketPlace, however we chose to drive as we knew the kids would be wiped after a day in the sun and beach. A Bay is a nice place for the kids to splash around and play in the sand, though the snorkeling isn’t very good there if that’s what you’re looking for.
The pool is nice with plenty of lounge chairs, but just to manage expectations for your littles, the hot tub is limited to 12 year olds and over. The pool was also a great place for our kids to hone their snorkeling skills before heading to the ocean. The condo is well appointed with everything we needed. Our two boys shared the bed in the second bedroom, which was fun for them. The kitchen and other amenities are well equipped, the furniture is clean, nice and in good repair. The condo was immaculate and I didn’t wish for anything that wasn’t already here. There were even bandaids when we needed one. The condo has a great lanai to sit and watch the golfers and palm trees sway while the kids play on the lawn. The property overall is very well maintained and manicured. We feel that the owners’ did a wonderful job in helping alleviate any relevant anxieties we had in relation to our stay at the condo during such a scary time. Our family looks forward to our next stay at Casa Chilin!
Six Year Old’s review:
I liked everything. I liked the inside of the house. I liked the outside, and I liked how it looked on the outside. I liked playing checkers. I liked playing Jenga. I liked playing in the pool.
Three Year Old’s review:
I liked the pool. I liked to play at the house.
Mom’s review:
Dad covered most of the details around what made Casa Chilin the perfect spot for our vacation. I would just add how easy it was to feel comfortable and at home in the condo, with everything we needed. With our focus on social distancing, it was no trouble at all to stock up on groceries and truly make it our home away from home. Carlos and Erika were extremely responsive to every question with prompt replies, and we really appreciated their flexibility on last-minute changes we had to make. Look forward to coming back!
