Amopola --means

bill&jean wisconsin
Review Submitted: March 9, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
We spent a week here and it was awesome! The photos are accurate, it really is that beautiful!! The house is VERY private, nice private pool, hammocks, A/C if you want to use it. The beach is a short walk away and a great place for surfing or just hanging out. There is a hotel nearby so we had dinners there or at a small local restaurant, There are activities available through the hotel -- zip line rides, kayak trips -- lots of fun and it is right there, very convenient! The hotel spa is fabulous, very tropical and relaxing. This spot is "off the beaten track" so it has a real jungle feeling but with plenty of comfort features. In the evening we sat on the roof deck and listened to the monkeys while we enjoyed the sunset ocean view. We would definitely recommend Amopola !! The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful and had lots of additional information for us. We plan to go back!!

A romantic, heavenly spot

Ting Guilford, CT
Review Submitted: March 3, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We just returned from spending a week in February at Amapola. We loved it. The house is beautifully designed with light-filled rooms, views, and privacy. The natural materials used (stone, teak,stucco, palm fronds) provided a soothing and visually-pleasing atmosphere. The hammocks were welcoming and frequently used. The bathrooms with their courtyards and tropical plantings added a touch of the exotic. We enjoyed using the private pool everyday: in the early morning as we listened to the howler monkeys and in the late afternoons when the swallows would join us for a dip. The robes and bath supplies provided daily added a real touch of luxury.

The amenities that come with the house are fantastic. Eating at the 1492 Restaurant at Hotel Punta Islita was romantic; torches, candles, open air, white linens and the sound of crashing waves. The beach with the mountains coming down to the sea and views of the rugged coastline is stupendous. There is also a pool, a restaurant and wonderful palm trees that make spending a day at the beach very pleasant. The spa is world class and should not be missed. The infinity pool by the hotel provides one of the most beautiful views ever. My husband enjoyed a daily round of golf. Top all of this beauty and nature (we spotted over 60 types of birds, monkeys and iguanas) off with a wonderful staff who take care of your every whim. It does not come any closer to heaven and appeals to all ages (my husband, 82 year old mother and 11 year old daughter).
