We had a lovely time at Casa Perla for our 4th trip to Isla! I would give the property 4.5 stars. The location with the ocean backdrop and in the local neighborhood was fantastic. So many local gems to eat, just stay away from the gringo hangouts and youll save a lot of money and get more authentic mexican food. Chile y Maiz was our favorite. The home is just a few blocks from the large Chedraui which made schlepping groceries easy. Its a 2.5 mile walk to North Beach, which our family did about 8x. I think we clocked over 30 miles in 14 days (kids are 7, 5 and 1) and this is centrally located and we felt very safe. A few things that would help would be to have pantry items, there were no basics including salt/pepper, etc. There were coffee filters and thats about it! Its a pain to have to go to the Chedraui for salt/pepper/spices and other basics when you are only on the island for a short time. The neighborhood barking dogs were quite the pain but im not sure what can be done about this, as previous reviews have mentioned. The pools were great for the kids and loungers on the deck were very comfy. The tiles inside the home get VERY slippery and my baby had a difficult time walking without falling so just beware. Do not let your kids go out the side entrance, there is a 25 foot cliff drop with no barrier. The housekeeper Rosie was lovely. Also note there is no washer/dryer on site for guests to use, so a place to hang dry laundry we washed would have been helpful.
