lovely 2 beds/king - 5 min from the beach

We enjoyed our stay. The condo at Villa Loren, was spacious, clean, well-decorated and furnished, with air conditioners and fans in each room. We especially appreciated the large quiet patio (also with fans) that faced a lush fauna. The kitchen was well-stocked. We felt safe with the great security features on site. They were very diligent at screening anyone before granting access to the area, Bonita village. The negative aspect was that the listing gave us the impression that we would be closer to the beach and restaurants. We were past the end of the beach at a 10 minute walk and restaurants were further away. Returning from the beach was arduous as it included 96 high steps/stairs. The grocery stores were 10-15 minutes drive. You could get away with taking scooter taxis but the locals drive very aggressively. We did not feel safe on scooters. Since we were there for a month we really needed a car for groceries and to go to the better restaurants. There are no bus services.
