The Shell Villa was perfect for our family! We loved having a Villa to all hang out in and enjoy the private pool and beach area. The seaweed is a bummer but what can you do? The sand is beautiful & soft and the views & sounds of the ocean waves are so relaxing! We took advantage of all of Liza & Miguel’s expertise & recommendations and we booked the airport shuttle, spa services, a private catamaran tour, and had most meals prepared for us. It really is better than an all inclusive resort because of the space and privacy. We also rented a vehicle that Liza helped arrange and it was dropped off and picked up at the Villa. So easy! Definitely recommend getting a vehicle for grocery store trips or going into Puerto Morales for lunch or dinner. The daily housekeeping service was unobtrusive and kept things clean and tidy. They really have a great thing going and we hope we will be able to come back one day. It was a beautiful trip!

Chef Miguel and Liza are great! From day 1 the communication and support was perfect. We loved the property and all the close amenities. Definitely recommend doing dinner and breakfast. We will be booking again. Thanks

We have stayed at this VRBO twice and home to come back again. Clean, nice, all amenities we need, beach, private pool!!

Thoroughly impressed with the location, safety, beach, the villa itself, and the food (optional purchase). Would stay again here in a heartbeat!

The Villa was spotless and maids kept it so throughout our stay. Our Villa was decorated with beautiful shell decor. Our ocean view was amazing - even on cloudy days. Chef Miguel made delicious meals and his helper Anna was a sweetheart. Spa service was exemplary! The weather was cool much of our stay but we enjoyed every minute!! Highly recommend Playa de Secreto!

It was my 50th Bday Trip - and it did not disappoint. Having a Chef as an owner of the property had so many perks. Communication was easy - and not a lot of pressure, we only had 2 issues- the toilet one was fixed quickly - the other was out of the owners control as a excursion they advertised had been purchased by someone and it wasn't what the original package was advertised as anymore - but our group took it for what it was "An Adventure" and not just sitting around but don't get me wrong sitting around at the villa - we all felt so relaxed, at home, and comfortable. Regrets would be: not taking more pics, ordering more of those awesome breakfasts, ordering more of the Guacamole cause it always went fast and of course scheduling more days at the Villa. I couldn't have asked for better hosts, a better location, or better comforts. I do look forward to returning some day again. This villa is better than any resort I've ever stayed in.

We loved the villa and it felt like we had our own amazing beach!

Outstanding !!! I have stayed at many locations over several decades and I think this is one of the best. The location was perfect for relaxation ( not the party life ) and the food that Chef Miquel fixed was out of this world. Superb !!!!!!

This is a beautiful location. The owners were excellent in terms of service and help, including excellent meals! Everything about the property is first class. We would love to come back.

We had five in our group. It was a fantastic time and very relaxing. We will be back!!! We rented a car and had a few day trips. We really enjoyed hanging around the pool and in the ocean.
