Oceanfront San Pedro 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom Villa Sand, concierge onsite

We had a great time and it was amazing to be on the water and to wake up to that view. As others have shared, the sargassum algae is a bummer, but not the property’s fault. We were happy to learn that there was a washer and dryer available to us and the kitchen had everything we needed. Groceries are crazy expensive compared to the mainland, but still nice to have the ability to cook a few meals. The roads definitely make golf cart rentals an adventure, but the right way to get around. We rented a cart through a less expensive company than what the property recommended. It was almost half as expensive but definitely an older cart and possibly a tougher ride. We booked a full day snorkeling tour through Roberto with Tuff E Nuff and it was incredible. The dock pick up was especially nice! La Perla is north of San Pedro by about 5 miles and we enjoyed being in this quieter area, but still had ample restaurants near-by. A great trip overall!!

This was an amazing trip for us 6 girls for a getaway. The rooms worked out great for us. A beautiful beachside view of sunrise. We loved enjoying the mornings on the deck. It is a very quiet relaxing place on the island. We enjoyed seeing the area in our rented golf cart. Free to come and go whenever. The road into town is a little bumpy, but we are from a small community, and we live on dirt roads, therefore did not bother us at all. Star and Cindy were great to answer any questions. The only downside was the smell from the washed-up seaweed. The smell was a strong sewer type smell. From what we understand it was the season for it to be an issue. We also had an issue with an air conditioner that water was puddling on the floor and had to be turned off, and it took 2 days for someone to see about it. It did not cause us any discomfort as it was cool this time of year. The other thing I would point out is that it is difficult to actually walk into the water as there is a built-up wall at the water's edge, not easy access to the water. It was not clear in the pictures and advertising. Overall an amazing trip with great friends. I highly recommend and would stay here again.

Everything about the listing was true. The staff were extremely kind and very responsive! The villa was very clean and everything in it worked perfectly - zero complaints. The only challenge with our visit in very early April was the nonstop wind coming off the ocean and the related sargassum (seaweed) buildup on the beach. The wind was 25-35 mph non-stop the 5 days we were there, which made it impossible to go fishing, scuba diving or really do anything on the water. It was even too windy to really enjoy the pool. I will say that the staff did an admirable job of dealing with the sargassum every morning that accumulated overnight. They spend a few hours shoveling it away - and thank goodness that they did or it really smells bad. The saving grace for us given the wind was that we rented a golf cart and were able to go to the protected Secret Beach area and other parts of the island. It also allowed us to go to the grocery store often (a great new grocery is only 10 min away by golf cart). We also used the cart to explore different restaurants in San Pedro and around the island. Overall, a great trip that was limited slightly by Mother Nature.

We’ll be back!! Lacked absolutely nothing. Lovely people. Beautiful place. Nice home.

Ok, I have to say that I don’t like writing bad reviews but feel like there are important takeaways that everyone should know before deciding if this is the right place for them. A little background we have been to many 5-star and 3-star places. We visited Cancun, Riviera Maya, Cabo, Hawaii, and Costa Rica. This was not any of them in a negative way. On our check-in, we got our orientation which included no swimming in the ocean as there was seaweed and no real place to swim(it was like that for the whole island...only Secret beach-and this was not really much of a beach. We Only went there for couple of hours and kids wanted to leave). Other items on orientation- do not flush toilets with toilet paper and to discard soiled toilet paper in the trash can because the sewage pipes can't handle it. Next, we settled in and the sheets for our bedroom and the kids bedroom were so dirty. small red drops...not sure what that was. The kids had a bunch of other stains. One of the kids beds sheets was clean with no stains. Anyway, we changed the sheets ourselves that were in the closet and told the office and they seemed as a big shock and offered us a free one-hour massage(which was very nice of them). But still, we spend a lot of money for our one week vacation and was not what we expected. The showers had very low water flow, the furniture, kitchen appliances, paint everywhere was very old and chipped needed a serious makeover. not as advertised. C No jacuzzi. the pool was mediocre.

Close to phenomenal snorkeling/diving and within walking distance of several restaurants. The staff will help you set up anything you want to do on the island. We had a great time lounging on the beach, hanging by the pool, and enjoying our villa. I highly recommend La Perla!
