This a both a review and information that you may find useful for Villas Fa-Sol. Through our booking site, the hotel offered one free transport from the hotel to the airport. We paid for pickup and Jordan was waiting for us when the plane landed. Jordan was our main contact while staying at Villas Fa-Sol as he spoke English and could arrange taxis, tours, etc and provide info. We stayed in the corner location on a second floor. Right outside our balcony there was a huge cactus that had iguanas living in it, so we could observe them, as well as all of the birds in the adjoining treed lot. Just so that you aware, this hotel is not located close to town, but that is one of things we liked about it. It was nice and quiet and we often had the swimming pool and the rocky beach (that has chairs) for ourselves to read or listen to the waves. Breakfast is included with your rate - each morning there was coffee, a choice of fresh juice, yogurt and granola, a small fresh fruit plate and a selection of egg dishes. The hotel sometimes serves dinner too, but not consistently. A taxi to La Crucita (downtown) is 85 pesos. Often we would walk to the entry gates (Villas Fa-Sol is in a gated community with lots of very large homes) and flag down a taxi for as little as 50 pesos. But Jordan can arrange a taxi to pick you up at the hotel any time. Options for meals include La Crucita or Santa Cruz (same price by taxi). There are also 4 or 5 restaurants 2 km away outside of the Dreams Hotel - we often walked to these restaurants. If you go the opposite direction from town, there is a small outdoor restaurant at Playa La Bocana that we ate at (short drive or half hour walk) and the best food we had was from a seafood hut at "Bunny Beach" or Bahia Conejos (20 minute walk from hotel) - grilled over a fire (if you eat at the hut, you can use the chairs and tables for free for the duration of your stay). There is a small beach about 5 minutes from the hotel through the trees next to the hotel and you can also go up and down rickety stairs at the end of the road to another calmer beach. We also walked to Togulunda Beach (shared with Dreams hotel) - which is the biggest beach we visited. We enjoyed our stay and really liked the privacy and calmness that the hotel offered.
