Where do I begin?! My fiance (boyfriend at the time) and I planned a week long vacation at Sueno del Mar for the end of September. We read a lot of reviews stating that that is the green season and to expect a lot of rain. Those reviews couldn't be more wrong. The weather was amazing and we felt like we had the entire place to ourselves as there were very few tourists. We aren't ones to go back to the same place once we've been there--but this place will be our one exception to the rule!
Our first day we walked into Sueno del Mar and were amazed at just how beautiful the condo really is. The pictures on the website are great--but don't do it justice! Harriet has thought of absolutely everything to make your vacation a memorable one. The talavera pottery in the cupboards, the amazing guide she's written herself of all the places and things to see, a fully stocked kitchen with every gadget you could imagine, cd's, the list could go on and on not to mention the bedroom that overlooks the ocean with the sound of the waves crashing on shore--can't imagine a more romantic and surreal place.
We checked out a lot of the surrounding resorts and price aside, this condo is way above anything we saw in terms of beauty and size. Then you add the price and it's an easy choice! Harriet was extremely easy to work with and responded quickly to any questions we had. There were no hidden fees (like you see at many of the resorts nearby) and she promptly sent us our refund check at the end of our stay. My boyfriend at the time emailed her with questions on the best places to propose and she put him in touch with an amazing individual who helped create a proposal that was unlike anything I could possibly have imagined! I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about our overall stay.
I saw a review that mentioned there were ants/bugs in the condo--we did not have that problem at all. There is a housekeeper that comes every 2 days and it is recommended that you leave her a tip but Harriet doesn't charge you to leave one--she leaves it up to you to decide what is appropriate. The condo was exceptional in every aspect including cleanliness.
My fiance and I will absolutely be coming back here again. We're in the process of planning our honeymoon and finding it difficult to locate a place more romantic and amazing than this one! Thank you Harriet for creating such a beautiful and breathtaking place to come and relax!
