Positive: Easy communication with owner. Very friendly staff, everyone seems friendly in Yelapa.
Stayed in adjacent small house rather than hotel but great view, balcony, giant iguanas in the tree right in front, hot enough water, air conditioning. Place is opposite from main village, therefore less people, you’re right above the water, wonderful mornings and evenings. This time of year to reach the main village for dinner - there are several good restaurants, the best one is Los Abuelos - you have to cross the river where the lagoon breaches the beach, knee to ! high depending on time of day.
Negative: the tiny room at ground level they showed us initially was completely different from any of the pictures. I immediately talked to the office and they accommodated us on the second floor, which was larger, balcony, acceptable. But I do not appreciate stuff like that. You pay half when you reserve and half when you get there. Obviously people use a credit card but then when you get there, their machine can only do Mexican pesos and exchange rate the owner gives you is unfavorable. Had to request the garbage getting emptied twice on day 4, there was no room service unless asked for. No mirror in the bathroom ? Refrigerator freezes everything. But still nice to have the refrigerator. So, 3 stars seems about right
