"We had a great spring break at Havana Lodge in Malpaís. The lodge was beautiful, the pool was amazing, and the location was perfect. When we had questions, they were answered within minutes. We couldn’t light the grill, and someone was over within 5 minutes to assist. I’d love to go back. So relaxing."

"We had a fantastic time at Casa De Noni. The house was perfect for 2 families of 4 with young kids (4-9), it was clean, well furnished, and Ruth was very responsive to all our requests and needs. The pool was great for kids, with afternoon shade, and evening lights that would keep them swimming for days on end.
