Wonderful beach villa
"This is our second VRBO stay at Villa Narciso in Bahia Pez Vela. It's a very nice villa; literally right next to the pool and the beach. The listing is exactly as described. The hosts are very good communicators. We look forward to staying here again in the future."

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

The house keeping staff kept forgetting to replace out wash clothes which was a little upsetting but not the end of the world. Within the suite/ room itself I felt although the linens and decor could be updated.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Safe area, beautiful views and the locals are very kind, humble and honest

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

They need better customer service and staff

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Largest zip line in Central America was real close to the resort. This resort is @ 30 minutes from the airport.

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveler

Improve communication and courtesy rules in staff members and manager Adrian has no leadership.

5/5 - Excellent

There is no dinner served at the hotel but there is a great restraint in the beach within walking distance. You also need to bring your own towels if you want to swim as there are no beach towels offered.
