We like to experience a little more authentic local color than the large fancy resorts offer, at the same time we like beachfront homes with views, pools, amenities we "can't live without" like AC, Coffee maker, Washer/Dryer and Wifi.
Casa Le Coq was everything we wanted and needed. The common area is vibrant, comfortable and spacious. The rooms and beds we just right. Bathrooms are really cool with colorful tile work. Kitchen had everything we needed. Inside and out there is beautiful artwork, plants and flowers.
We spent most of our time in the water right in front of the house or in the pool, or lounging between the two. Lots of birds and fish to watch, and depending on the day or season there are a few vendors who walk by the house selling fresh mango, baked goods, ice cream and seafood. You can walk for hours on the large beach, hike up to a couple amazing vantage points, and walk to nice or locals restaurants.
The pool guy and housekeeper did a fantastic job keeping the space clean and tidy, while hardly making their presence known.
We had a chef recommended by the owner who came and cooked for us the first and last two nights. They shopped, cooked and cleaned up for less than it cost to go out to eat, and so much nicer for our group who was in total relax mode.
