We had a wonderful stay at Esencia! The staff were so friendly and helpful. The grounds and pool were beautiful, well kept and clean. The rooms are set back from the main road so it was very quiet and we enjoyed listening to and seeing birds and monkeys from our balcony! Great location as well-directly across the street from the main surf break and next door to an excellent restaurant, Somos.

This property is large and beautiful! Well taken care of! The pool is wonderful too! Great place to stay with the family or as a couple. Only note is if you stay in a villa, request one a few up the hill. Unless you are there for the party and to stay up late. The music sounds great, just goes late.

I LOVED my stay at Esencia. The people were absolutely amazing that worked there. Very friendly, helpful, and kind. The property itself is in the most perfect location - right across the street from the beach, walking distance to everything, and was clean and wonderful. I very much enjoyed my stay there.

Sweet bungalow with kitchenette. Nice décor and porch with teak furniture and hammock. Attractive pool area, and restaurants within short walk. The air conditioning makes for good sleeping as it’s hot and humid. Staff has been warm and welcoming.

The 2nd level units are about a 100 ft (10 stories) hike up...it is exhausting. They charge $2/day for a beach towel. They add chlorine tablets into the pool skimmer...not a good practice. However, the rooms are fine for the price and the grounds are tropical.

This is a unique town with a very laid back vibe. We loved the ease of it all. The only down side was that the room did not have an iron or hangers (we were there for a wedding). The front desk Clerk Annabelle was wonderful and very helpful.
3-night trip

8/10

The villa was super cute, very clean, and the area very walkable. They had security as well, which was an added plus. Two things that could be improved— internet speed was ridiculously slow or nonexistent at times. I also asked for an iron at 6pm and they just told me, sorry housekeeping is gone until tomorrow. So the service lacked a bit there…

One major problem was the bed bugs, they were very bad. It almost ruined our trip, and it might still if we can’t get them out of our luggage.
