Beachfront, Pool, Awesome Snorkeling Right Out Front, Walk to Town, Strong Wifi

Hola,
I was invited in 2001 to join my friends on a family vacation to a small village in Southern Baja Mexico"Los Barriles". Little did I know it would be one of the most beautiful places I'd ever seen, with it's turquoise crystal clear swimmable water and uncrowded sugar white sand beaches that you can walk for miles on.
This is the perfect place for you to enjoy your relaxing Baja Vacation.
If you want some night life, there is usually a band playing or open Mike in town.
Once you walk into the condo, you will automatically exhale and the slower pace of Mexico will start to entrance you. Walk out onto the terrace for an outstanding 180 degree view of the Sea of Cortez and coastline. Enjoy the swimming pool or the sandy beach with some of the best snorkeling in all of the East Cape immediately in front of the Villa where you can view many tropical brilliant colored marine life fish & other sea life, shhhh, don't tell anyone (Bring your snorkeling gear). If fishing is your thing you can cast your line right off the shore and maybe catch a Dorado for dinner or charter a boat for some big game fishing. Most of the restaurants will prepare it for you with all the fixens.
The villa faces east for magnificent sunrises and spectacular full moon
viewing over the Sea of Cortez. Private, friendly & close to town for great dining & shopping.
The condo has it's own wifi modem which makes the signal strong.
Sorry but the Condo is NOT handicap equipped and there are stairs and no elevator.
Happy Trails, Kimberly

**The sofa is not a pullout sofa, it's fit for a child or one person/teenager.

Amazing Location and View
The location of the condo was just perfect. Short drive to town and we had the boatful beach almost to ourselves. Great snorkeling right out front of the condo. The space itself was very nice. Great balcony on both floors! My only recommendation is to update some of the furnishings, other than that the place was amazing and I would stay there again next time I visit Los Barriles.

Awkward
2 bedrms 2 baths and only 3 chairs for the deck! No hot water in 1 bath sink. Loose hot and cold water fixture in the other. Screens to deck broken Most glasses are plactic and miss matched. Nasty windows in showers. The whole condo needs maintenance. We were embarrassed. We love Mar Y Sol but never with 303 again

Loved the Views and the Sunrises.
Loved the location and the Condo Block. Great views, nice pool, safe location with friendly neighbors. These condos are right off of Hwy 1, so very easy to find and get in and out of, good parking lot, definitely better for people with a car and for those who like to explore. The walk to town (on the beach) is a good twenty/thirty minutes and it's generally pretty warm, so do wear a hat during the day. Sun hats will blow away in the winter months. We liked the breeze, we also walked back after dark a few times, so bring a small flashlight, (driving at night is not recommended as cows are often on the road) but walking up and down the beach is pretty fun, not to mention a workout. This condo is a bit dated and could use a little love. However, everything worked well. We had zero issues with the management/owner, and Kristen checked in periodically to see if everything was going well. There is a small grocery store just a short walk south of the complex (we cooked quite a bit, and this is where you can pick up drinking water). Kitchen was well stocked for cooking, pots, pans and such. There is a bigger grocery store in town. For those who like to walk the beach, if you go south for about 20 minutes, there is an old beach club you can go have drinks and food, they didn't charge us to go in, so that makes a nice stop. There is a really nice and fairly large reef right in front of the condo, so on the days the waves are more chill and don't stir things up, you can have a great time snorkeling. Better in the summer months apparently, when there is less wind and smaller waves but even during the winter (November for us) we went super early in the mornings, sometimes it would clear up later like magic. Do bring your own snorkeling gear if you like to snorkel... we bought ours at Costco and they were not a great set. We had to go to La Paz to find better ones. None of us like AC, so we never turned it on, we had the windows open day and night which makes for a great cross breeze but that also lets in a bit of noise from the side which faces Hwy 1. Not noticeable during the day but if you are a light sleeper, bring some earplugs. Also, the downstairs bed creaks, so that took some getting used to. Couch is comfy if you have an extra kid or guest. This place is great for a family or a couple who wants a bit of space for a longer stay. This stay, it was my sister her husband, my daughter and me. I'd definitely stay again in the future.

Beautiful beach and complex. That being said, I would never stay in that condo again and caution any others-the owner was very rude and crazy. There were no keys to lock up the condo and when I brought up that was a safety issue she didn’t get back until the next day saying did I have something to hide and that a locksmith couldn’t come until Thursday (we checked in on Monday) because it was “Semana Santa”. Semana santa is not until the week of Easter, so not sure what that was about. No locksmith ever came and so we were left with an unlocked property every time we left and had to take all our valuables with us. Damp towels on the bed,dirty floors, no sofabed. When I asked for the wifi password she finally got back to me 2 days later that it’s on the bottom of the modem-no modem in the condo so no wifi :/. When I brought up all these issues she said if I don’t like it I can stay somewhere else and she’d call the federal police to kick out my family and I. I would havegladly stayed somewhere else to stay but it was fully booked all around. She later apologized and told me she had a falling out with her previous property manager (the one still listed as a contact), who took the keys, and something else about personal wellness, more excuses, then she said I had bad energy and she was done with me, she was very bipolar. A warning-dealing with her is not worth the location! If anyone has further concerns, I have the conversations in Vrbo and will be filing a complaint.

Property is just okay.
Property is just okay, not great. Mini-split A/C is nice to have but the one in the living room leaked water on the floor and made a mess. Patio is small and the furniture is incredibly uncomfortable. The walk to town is at least 20+ minutes on the beach, walking on the road is not safe due to speed of cars and no sidewalks. Dishes were dirty and mish-mashed. Appliances are old. There is a new building being built in the complex and construction noise was loud and started early in the morning on the weekdays. Views are lovely and pool area is quiet and sees little use.

We were so happy to find everything exactly as it was pictured In the photos, it was so beautiful the ocean views, the gorgeous sunrises. The fishing was awesome with water like a bathtub to play in the surf. We snorkeled right in front of the property and saw amazing colorful fish. We also shorefished right in out front of the property. ATV delivered to our door. We had read the previous reviews and Kimberly had addressed every issue. Everything was perfect! Los Barilles is awesome!

Weigh the pros & cons for your group
This condo has pros and cons depending on your group! My biggest complaint is that it has one key to the door so you always have to figure out who has the key if there are different people coming and going, it should have a lock with a code! Pros: on a beautiful rocky private beach, you can hear the ocean and it’s a beautiful view from the deck Fits family of four comfortably if you have older kids. Easy check in, condo was open when we arrived. Good size kitchen. Cons: WiFi very spotty & unsecured, not good if working remote. Beds not great…not enough pillows!! Tons of stairs to get to condo from parking and multiple stairs to get down to beach, would be hard with little kids, older folks etc. It advertises walk to town, not a quick walk, 20 min walk to Palma hotel & another 10 min to town. If friends staying at the Palma or in town you cannot ride your atv on the beach all the way, you have to go on road for a bit (not a huge deal but a consideration). Should have amenities: No beach towels, no cooler to take down to beach, has one old beach chair, snorkel equipment available but in disrepair. Uncomfortable table & chairs on the deck, it’s a pretty view but don’t want to sit there very long. You hear a lot of road traffic from the bedrooms.

See below for our recap.
Was average as no A/C in upper bedroom and had to sleep on sofa 3 nights. TV did not work and very poor wifi. No hot water in main bathroom. No outside lighting so be careful of over 55. However great view and beach. I do hate to complain.

Love this town
The only two things that we were not prepared for was the stairs up to the unit. My hubby is partially handicapped. It was at times difficult. There was a TV, but it could only be used with the DVD player. If we knew we could have brought something to use to watch a network channel. There was amenities we didn’t expect. Fishing pole, beach chair, beach towels, and snorkel gear. Beds were comfy. Views were amazing. All in all a nice stay

This was really a pleasure to stay here. It's right on the beach and had the best snorkeling we found anywhere on the coast. Super easy to get into town and the neighbors we met while staying there were very friendly! We had an issue with check in that wasn't the owner's fault and she and the property manager took care of it right away. Definitely recommend and would stay here again for sure!
