We had a delightful stay at

La Finca Dulce Vita - it's as magical as the pictures suggest. We were there for a milestone birthday celebration for a family member, and it worked out great. The host had lots of helpful ideas when we booked.

Also, take advantage of the opportunity to have a chef come cook for you.

The host recommended El Pescador, and the meal he prepared for us was a highlight!
