Book El Carmen hotels

Perfect home for a few days to relax by the pool. The beach is 3 min. walking distance and we can even hear it from the room on the top floor! They advertise it as « brand new » but it has to have a year or two. Cleanliness of the floors and the kitchen should be improved but overall a very noce stay with the family.

First off, Jeff was great. He was friendly, responsive and very helpful. By far one of the best hosts I’ve dealt with. He answered all of my questions extremely quickly, and even allowed us early check-in AND late check-out. If my review only consisted of my experience with him, 10 stars! Unfortunately, the house left much to be desired. When we first walked in, it looked absolutely beautiful. However, the house was very dirty. It looked as though it hadn’t been cleaned in quite some time, and certainly not thoroughly. The bottoms of our feet were black from walking barefoot. The rug in the upstairs bathroom was dirty as were the toilet and sinks. The home is pretty close to the ocean and therefore gets a lot of abuse from the salty air evidently. There were signs of rust on just about every surface possible, and it’s clear regular maintenance of any kind is also not done. There is only one screen on one door, which means in the evenings you choose between cool air and bugs. The two upstairs bedrooms have AC, and that was great but the rest of the house does not. This property is pretty isolated as well, the nearest full grocery store is 30 minutes away. Although there is a nice gas station/market about 2 miles away that could take care of most basic needs. This is a secure neighborhood, but no keys are provided for the house so you cannot lock the doors when you leave. We never had anyone bother us, but some may have a real issue with this. I have more to say…

Very Peruvian and relaxing areas . Very Clean and secure.
