Casa Monika

The location is safe and the room size is good.

the drainage system is not good. Bathrooms are often clogged. The water goes down well in the morning and not in the afternoon. The sewer smelled a lot. Water kept flowing from the air conditioner. Overall, it looks like it needs repair. I don't think I'll stay again.

Nice place to stay and relax. Spacious, nice rooms with big bathroom. 3 min walk to the beach. Monika was a great host and guide. She gave us a lot of tips regarding surroundings, restaurants, bars, surfing, possible activities. Very open, helpful host.

all was good.

Beautiful spacious room and nice pool area just outside, each room has its own hammock which was lovely to relax in. There is a kitchen and fridge to store your food/drinks. There is AC and a fan so the room stays cool. Location was really convenient for La Punta.

Hot water didn’t work for 2 days. The host wasn’t very responsive to messages on the app. The cleaner’s kids spent a lot of time at the property which I don’t mind personally, but they were sometimes a bit noisy which made it difficult to relax outside. The recommendation for the taxi was quite expensive and you can get cheaper rates in La Punta.

The location is a bit back, but not too far so its more quiet and away from the busy main street, but easy to walk to all the main things. The view from the top floor common area is really beautiful. The host was able to give some good recommendations around a beach club and also restaurants in the area, so the recommendations were helpful and appreciated.

This is the first time I felt I needed to write an unfortunate review, but its good for other travelers. There was just unfortunately a number of "guest-focused" things that damped our stay. - We arrived very early and the host let us store our bags. But we came back before check-in just to grab our swimsuits and she said "Check in isn't till 3:00". Not even a hello. It was very offputting. - We booked two rooms with A/C and were given what the host felt was an upgrade on one of the rooms, but the room didn't have A/C. This was due to another guest being ill and not able to leave, which we understand. But the attitude felt very that we need to feel grateful. The host did allow us to use a scooter for free for a day to apologize. but it was the day we arrive so we had it from 3pm on only? We thought it was for the full next day but wasn't. We were moved to an A/C room the next day though. - The pool furniture was very dirty and not welcoming so we never used the pool area as it wasn't well kept. - Each room was different, as my travel companion had some different results. But for my room, the lighting was so dark I could barely see even during the day. The shampoo and bodywash containers on the wall didn't work. There were gaps around the lights in the ceiling. The room just felt not fully polished. - The host lives at the property. and I understand she needs to live her life. But we had surfing scheduled early the next day at 6am and 11:30pm I was awoken by the host in her room above with the both sliding doors open and being very loud with a guest. I went upstairs and she immediately apologized and closed the doors, but it just seems off that the noise on the small property is not from other guests but the host themselves.

The room, the kitchen and the location.

Monika was lovely and had lots of great tips on where to go out on which nights, where to eat, etc. Room was spacious and clean. I thought it was great value. This place is a short walk to the beach. I would stay here again next time.

The neighbourhood is quiet, apart from roosters and a couple dogs barking, but these are the typical sounds you hear in any neighbourhood in Mexico.

Very cozy place with exceptional interiors and top notch internet connection. The house is located within waking distance to the beach, shops and the main restaurant street. Monika is very friendly and helpful! I got an upgrade of the room at no additional price, and it was the most amazing staying experience during my whole trip.

All great
