"The villa is just as described and the location is cool. We spent days exploring the area, late afternoons cooling off in the pool and evenings watching the sunset. The walk down to the river is easy and we spent an afternoon hanging out there and swimming in the water. As others have said, there is still a lot of construction happening on the property and when complete the place will be fantastic. For now, there are no other amenities like a restaurant or spa on site but they are building it.Some amenities we felt were lacking in the villa were a place to hang clothes or a dresser to unpack any luggage. So, while staying there you will be living out of your bags, literally. Another item that would have been nice was an umbrella or some sort of shade during the afternoons. The deck and pool face west which makes for great sunsets but the afternoon sun/heat can be quite extreme with no shade available. There are trees around the pool and back patio but are too small yet to provide any shade. Finally, the only seating in the villa are some dining chairs and some deck loungers. There are no padded chairs in the bedrooms or the the kitchen area where we could relax. There is no living room just the two bedrooms w/bathrooms and a kitchen so hanging out as a group happens outside or in the kitchen. Not the end of the world, and the listing is accurate for amenities and rooms but an area to hang out inside on some comfortable seating would be nice.Orlando, the manager is great"

"If you enjoy unique places, Destino is a MUST DO! The photos are exactly what you get - no unpleasant surprises. The villa we stayed in for 3 nights has 2 bedrooms, each with an ensuite toilet and sink. Each has access to 2 showers, an indoor and an outdoor. The infinity pool was a fabulous way to cool down and relax after a day of hiking. The kitchen was fully equipped for four people with full sized fridge, gas oven and stove, microwave, dishwasher, kettle, small drip coffee machine, stove top expresso maker, and a ricemaker. There's air conditioning that we used only at night for sleeping. Dining is el fresco with wonderful views from the deck. Orlando was an excellent communicator and was super helpful and accommodating. The location is a little off the beaten path, but honestly, that's definitely part of the charm! The dirt road is steep in places, but absolutely no issues in our rented rear wheel drive Toyota Rush. The landscape is fun to explore, with plenty of kilometers to walk. There is a view of the Rio Blanco and a path/steps down to it for those who are able. You don't want to miss a stay at Destino! "

"Beautiful. Great breakfast. Scenic location. "
