The property is in a very quiet gated community. It is close to many bars, restaurants and eateries. We went to El Cayo several nights for dinner and they have the best Pina Coladas on the island (in our opinion). There was some confusion on the day of check in as we arrived quite late and didn't realize that when you type in the provided code on the keypad at the entrance, that you are actually calling someone so they can let open the gate. After that, things went smooth and we were provided a key fob for driving in and out.
The house itself is historic and quite old. We were aware and appreciate the historic value of the home. The air conditioning in each bedroom works great and cools down the rooms quickly, but the other areas do not have air conditioning. That was fine with us as we spent most of our time outdoors in the beautiful pool. That area is spectucular and it was nice to use in our days when we needed to take a break from all the sightseeing/beach days.
The kitchen has many necessary utensils, a regular coffee maker, blender, air fryer and small appliances. I had hoped to cook breakfast but could not find a decent pan/griddle to make pancakes; the electric griddle was broken and there other pans were not non-stick. Not all of the burners worked either. I wasn't planning on cooking a meal, so no biggie!
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful time!
