Beautiful stay at Esencia!

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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…

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.

Samantha

Disliked: Staff & service
No one in office at checkin time. I had to wait in a parking lot for 45 minutes with my baby. That evening, the staff were again not there, and the line security guard wouldn’t let me drive my car to the room. He suggested I leave my baby alone in the room while I park the car elsewhere. Room was shabby. Bed lumpy and plastic feeling. One sheet and no comforter.
