Villa Haydee

Our stay at Villa Haydee was amazing! Due to Covid, we had to reschedule our trip twice and Jessica and the team at Cabovillas were extremely accommodating. Not only that but the staff during our stay was always extremely friendly and helped us with any requests we had. The home is perfect for a big group and is in a great location close to town. There was nothing better than watching the sunrise every morning by the pool! Would definitely stay here again!

The villa was a great size for our party of 6. Everyone had their own space and I loved that each bedroom had an ensuite bathroom. The views were perfect, which made it hard for me to leave the villa. I could've sat on the deck the entire trip and been content with just the views. The villa was clean and well stocked with your everyday needs. The cleaning crew was nice, but they invaded our space by popping up when they wanted to and disrupting our day. It would be a good idea for them to call and see if cleaning services are needed. The one thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the shady concierge. He made it seem as if he was there to meet all our needs and make sure the stay was pleasant. He offered to go get us tacos and 2 cases of champagne and we would pay the price of the items plus a $20 delivery fee. That seemed fair, but when he returned he had 1 case of champagne and 10 tacos and told us that would be $407. After we paid him, he jetted off into the sunset and we did not see him until we were in the shuttle headed back to the airport. I highly recommend you do your own shopping and bargaining. We still enjoyed our stay in Villa Haydee, and I will recommend it to those who ask.

Overall, we had a really good stay! Securing the home was my initial concern, as the patio doors don’t have very secure locks, but the concern subsided quickly. The house was spacious, clean, and cool! The best part was the view of the city and marina! We watched ships, activities and the sun rise and set. The pool in the afternoon was top notch. If you’re one for perfect social media photos, this is your place! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you’d need to prepare, cook, and serve any meal or entertain. The open concept provides great sound for music throughout the home. There were a few things to be aware of, however. First, there were lizards!!!!! I’m not sure how that could be prevented, but they (at least 5) vacationed with us. I was petrified! Secondly, our concierge didn’t seem like the most honest guy. He offered to get our group local food and champagne. We were excited! Upon return, the costs were upwards of $400USD for 10 tacos and one case of champagne with NO RECEIPTS! We didn’t see him again until our day of departure. Interesting? Next, either rent a car or prepare to pay about $4USD/pp for each ride, both, up and down the mountains of Pedregal. While there were a couple of things I’d change in Villa Haydee, the thing that stands out the most is cleaning service on day of departure. Our scheduled “check out “ was 11am, yet the cleaning ladies were there at 9am, literally, cleaning around us. We were cleaned out of our private bathrooms, making a leisure departure almost impossible. While we understood there would be guests after us, allowing us time to gather our things, shower, and prepare to leave this beautiful city were equally as important! In sum, our trip was magnificent! Villa Haydee was a pretty smooth ride with a couple of bumps in the road along the way!
