This was the second year in a row we have stayed at La Estancia but in a different unit. This was on the top floor, nicely decorated, nice views, and comfy beds. We love the property grounds and close proximity to town and beach activities. The kitchens are great to have, and we use them quite a bit. Another family was staying a couple floors down, and we took turns hosting meals. The kitchen was family well equipped with plenty of pots and pans and bowls, but lacked any baking sheets or decent baking pan. It’s probably hard when renting out to keep all your supplies. It’s seems a posted checklist might be helpful in a cupboard or something. We arrived after 3pm but our room wasn’t ready. Joel, who was sent to greet us wasn’t there when we arrived either. We had purchased a lot of food from Costco,, some of which had gone bad during the week because of time not in a cooler, so that was disappointing, but we tend to overbuy, so we didn’t starve. We certainly didn’t need Joel, however. He was nice enough, just didn’t need him. There were many items left in the pantry from previous visitors and we added quite a bit to the inventory. It’s nice we can all do that. My husband and I enjoyed playing tennis, we all enjoyed the beach, pool, and hot tub daily, and loved the open concept living spaces for daily card playing. The market is great and so is the gym. Overall was a wonderful stay!
