My crew and I had he most amazing week staying at Max and Siggy's Palacio 199. When we arrived, I…read morecouldn't believe the lovely house, old colonial style with bricks and arches and iron railings, a big open layout with a center room with a veranda that looked out over the lower level garden, full of beautiful paintings and ceramics, and then the upstairs pool area with sun chairs and also a palapa for chilling when the sun got too hot. Palms everywhere, a beautiful view of the ocean, from which I caught multiple sunsets, and a really idyllic setting in every way. The rooms were also beautiful, and the hosts had thought of every little detail, glass paneled doors and tapestries decorating the interior.
The service every day was fantastic. We arrived to margaritas, a special treat Max threw in for our birthday boy and to start off the week right! We woke up to eggs and coffee in the mornings, and came home to the entire palacio spruced up and ready for more relaxing. For those of us who had to toss in a couple hours of work during the week, the wifi was super fast.
And of course, the palacio was in the most perfect location of Zona Romantica, right in the middle of all the spots we'd ever want to be. The beach was right there, and Max and Siggy had great recommendations for the best beach spots! Also right there were a huge range of cute restaurants, amenities (ATMs, etc all that important stuff you need on vacation) and the downtown gay bars and club district.
Finally, there were a bunch of day trips and adventures to take for the more active in our group. Max and Siggy helped us explore the area to its fullest. They had personal relationships with a lot of the locals and could get us great hookups for whatever we needed.
I couldn't recommend this place more. If you're in a group like we were, it was perfect to rent the whole house, so make sure to make your plans for months in advance because this place is gonna be booked.
Thank you Max and Siggy for a lovely week, it was great to get to know both of you!
