We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Escapar. The home is lovely, the beds comfortable, and the best part was Arsenio and Rubi. They make the house a home. :) We went with our teenage and young adult kids and their friends, after not traveling to Mexico for over a decade, and really had a great time. We felt very safe, explored a lot, and enjoyed ourselves.
Some feedback that is important. We were there mid-June, and all up and down the coast, the sargassum seaweed is an issue. The locals are trying to keep up with it, but it is physically impossible. I wish the world would step in and help.
We are told October thru April is less of an issue, but we were startled at the amount and how it impacted the normally turquoise water. While we typically shop local and cook in the evenings for our large group, the kitchen in the home truly belongs to Arsenio and Rubi, so we had them prepare most of our meals. They. Were. Amazing!! Even had them teach us some of their secrets!! So be ready with cash because you will want them to cook for you. Truly, a vacation. If you tell them you want food ready upon arrival like we did, you will arrive to the best aromas ever, and delicious food and drinks to match. Cannot say enough good things about them. The items that I didn't give a 5 were location because of the seaweed and really rocky beach entry, leaving the water in the area not really swimmable. The beach was kind of crushed shells, so you needed shoes, BUT, the turtles were nesting so we had a little biology class right in front of the house! The other thing is, the road leading to the house. The neighborhood is well off of the highway, in a developing area, but the road is unpaved, and with frequent rains, it was pretty messy for driving and for our morning walks. It will be really great once they pave it. Overall, we loved our stay at Escapar, true relaxation and amazing food, comfortable beds, gorgeous sunsets from the roof top porch. The issues we had were not in the owner's control, but it is better to know before you go. I would definitely stay there again and get spoiled by Rubi and Arsenio.
