Summary: Fabulous location and (mostly) fabulous villa, lovingly decorated with fun, little holiday decorations . What a view! The indoor kitchen and living areas were adequately supplied with everything we needed to live comfortably. We also really enjoyed the outdoor living areas - - the pool setting, comfy chairs, covered porch area with a really nice grill and - -bonus - - outdoor grassy play area complete with a trampoline!!! While the Quetzal villa was delightful, it did have a couple issues that we noticed and reported to management. They were immediately responsive but were unable to resolve the issues while we were there. (1. sewer gas smell in bathrooms - - we solved by covering sink and shower drain pipes and 2. AC in Master BR made clicking sound which they said is normal and we eventually got used to it.). We would definitely stay here again - - and will probably ask for this unit if we make it back to Canavida in the future.
