Impressive and peaceful
Connie's place is a well-maintained, lovely two-bedroom apartment with a beautiful terrace, a well-appointed kitchen, and other amenities and appliances. It has a great view of the north half of the bay and it's just steps away from a large communal swimming pool you'll definitely use every day. Butterflies and birds abound. It's generally quiet and the other renters and residents are nice.
You should know that unless you are fit, you'll want to drive or take a cab to and from town, and back from the beach. The walking route from the town or the sea involves hills followed by over a hundred steep steps back to the unit.
The wi-fi is strong and the speeds are amazing for a Mexican vacation rental: about 350 Mbps both upstream and down. Put in non-geek speak, it's more than enough to stream TV shows or to upload and download photos and videos. I've got a gigabit connection at my house and it was virtually like being at home.
Being a private property and not a hotel room, the unit has some quirks. The switches can be hard to find (we never could turn on the fan over the terrace), a table lamp had a loose wire, and the remotes for the wall AC units are confusingly labeled and different from each other. The information book that the owner prepared is quite old and had some incorrect information (two different numbers for the property manager and incorrect instructions for using the land line). But you'll figure out what you need to know.
So much better than a hotel room!
