Resort Don Julian - Unit 2

Away from main beach towns but the beach is much better and cleaner, no crowds. Place is clean and quiet right in front of the ocean. Definitely enjoyed our stay.

I’m so excited to leave this review. The place was spacious and literally amazing. The beach was right out side the room. Alex was such an amazing host he answer as of questions, I’m a worrier and he put my worries at ease. I was so happy with the location. The people were so welcoming and keep the property spotless. The property was easy to find and there are restaurants near by. I canceled my plans one day of the vacation just to be on the property and enjoy the resort. The pictures do no justice. I will forever brag about this place.

We have traveled to many parts of Central America, and this was one of our favorite trips. High points for us: the beach front location of the unit, ease of interaction with friendly staff who remain on property, the ability to park our vehicle within the gated property, on-site pool, ease of access to the airport. We enjoyed day trips up north to the colonial town of Suchitoto, and to the nearby beach villages of El Tunco and El Zonte (Bitcoin Beach, where I was able to transact in BTC). We roamed the beach and found a restaurant/bar within a few hundred meters: Punta del Este hotel which has a large overlook patio. There are likely more, but the signage can be lacking.The Super Selecto food markets are maybe 10-15 minutes away if you want to stock up. We spent 90 and had plenty of breakfast and dinner items for most of a week. The closest Selectos are in La Libertad, but can be packed and challenging with traffic/parking. There is one a few more minutes north in Zaragoza and a bit more up the coast line in Surf City, where you might find better options. Also, local vendors will travel the dirt streets of the area in trucks selling vegetables and pallets of eggs for low prices. There are little tiendas in this neighborhood that have some vegetables, soda, beer.We felt very safe throughout our trip and travels. Keep in mind that the surrounds are not highly developed regarding infrastructure, but we found this authentic local environment to be perfect for us.

We spent 11 days at the Villa. We used it as a base camp to for daily excursions. It was well located. Town was a five minute drive to the big grocery store. If you're looking for American luxuries, this is a place to come. Beach was a great beach.
