8/10 Very Good

Casa Hemingway
We spent two nights at Casa Hemingway. On arrival, our prearranged and honestly quite expensive transportation was not at the airport. I called the hotel and after waiting for the desk clerk to research, she informed me that our ride would be there is 30 minutes. 40 minutes later our ride arrived. He was very kind and we arrived safely. On checking in, we were given pointing directions where restaurants were. I later went out and asked for a map which I was then given. We also had to request bedding for our third guest. We did have a couple frustrations:
1. There were only two bottles of water for three people in the fridge and when we asked for more, we were charged for this.
2. We had family staying down the road so would have loved to share a meal or swim with them and were told that would cost $50 each. This was really disappointing as we were graciously welcomed into their facility.
3. We were charged for breakfast when I distinctly recall checking the box on payment from Hotels.com for breakfast. This was embarrassing as we were walking out and chased down by the waiter when we thought it was included.
Overall, I would say the stay was adequate and a unique experience. For the price, I would likely stay somewhere else or rent a condo on return as we truly lived the area and the people. The food, beach and pools were excellent! The restaurant we went to had excellent food and very friendly and attentive staff despite being very busy!
