The property is stunning- modern, very spacious, and designed with top of the line finishes. The beach was what dreams are made of: gorgeous view, perfect for relaxing or snorkeling, very private, rarely saw anyone else in the cove. Very quiet and clean. The service elevated our stay, the chef was amazing and prepared meals everyday, the concierge was attentive and always ready to help with any request.Villa Dulce Vida exceeded our expectations in every way.
