Frequently Asked Questions

DO I NEED A CAR?
There is no need to rent a car unless you want to travel outside the city. You can walk almost anywhere and it is very safe. Taxis and buses are easily accessible and inexpensive. There is a taxi stand across the street.

WHAT IS THE WEATHER?
Nobody can ever guarantee weather. However, in high season the weather is usually sunny and dry with warm days and cool nights. In the summer it is warmer and more humid and there are frequent rains often of short duration.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
Electricity is the same as in the US and Canada so personal appliances from those countries will work. Casual clothing is enough but you may want dressy casual wear for finer restaurants. In high season, some persons may want long sleeves or a light sweater for evening outside dining. Fortunately, anything you forget you can buy here.

You may bring CD's to play or DVD's or videos to watch. Shampoo, body wash, hair dryers, alarm clocks, iron and ironing board, and beach towels are furnished.

DO I NEED TO SPEAK SPANISH?
No, English is widely spoken in restaurants, bars, and businesses. Many French Canadians visit here also but we cannot adequately estimate how much French is spoken here. It is always fun and helpful to try to speak a little Spanish but it is not at all necessary for you to enjoy your vacation.

WHY IS YOUR CONDO MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHERS WE HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET?
Location, luxury, location. Many comparable condos are not beachfront or are much further from the center of town. Many properties require long walks or taxis to enjoy the amenities just outside our door. Of course, we also have a beautifully designed and equipped unit and strive to provide a quality environment. Many small condo units do not have 24 hour security or even on-premises personnel. And, almost none have access to a fabulous restaurant on premises.
